[hushed prawn]

Hi, anyone know how to remove UI on Mac? Same hotkey doesn't work.

ctrl + f3 is used by OS to show hide Dock

[frosty frost]

If its used by something else then you may have to rebind it 🤔

[hushed prawn]

do you know the HUD console command?

confirmed disabling the key in MacOS allows it to work in Valheim

[frosty frost]

Ah, all good then 😄

[hushed prawn]

is there a list of all dev-commands possible somewhere?

[lilac coyote]

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

[frosty frost]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console here or in game you can type help in console and navigate up or down using PageUp and PageDown keys 🙂

[hushed prawn]

Thanks!

[languid fern]

killed a lox in a small plains area, and left 1 alive. Still 2nd hasnt spawned yet, just the one left alive still there

[deep grail]

any fixes for no ip address?

[fathom badge]

What do you mean fixes? Valheim doesn't control any IP addresses, that's a DNS issue or the server isn't running. Nothing to do with Valheim.

[deep grail]

my bad im new to the game, didnt know where to look for help on this

[fathom badge]

Most games and servers work that same way. What are you trying to do? Is that your dedicated server or something? What does the server owner say?

[deep grail]

yes its dedicated server. Unable to start the server. It initializes then goes back to "server down"

nvm i got that wrong, not a dedicated server

[fathom badge]

Gotcha. Yeah, you might want to ask in #dedicated-server then since that's more specifically for that, but you likely need to check with whatever host you're using as to why it's doing that

...

[deep grail]

lol sorry

ill check with gameho, thx

[smoky acorn]

Can you describe how she tried to connect? Ideally you would give her the join code, and she would enter the game and in the main menu go to Start Game / Start / Join Game tab / Add Server, then enter the join code in the pop-up (and if you want the text of those buttons/tabs as they would appear in a different language, let us know)

[smoky acorn]

Had you purchased the game on Apple App Store, Microsoft/Xbox Store, or Steam? And are you trying to recover your character, your worlds, or just access to the game?

[lapis terrace]

since the user said years. then only steam was available 🤔

only other place I could think about that could be wierd was xbox game pass

[knotty jetty]

failed to connect

[peak edge]

guys is this vein normal?

[surreal quiver]

yup

[winged solstice]

bit of a strange look at first, but ya silver is a y shape

[peak edge]

no like, is it normal to be that big?

[surreal quiver]

yup

[winged solstice]

you should revisit your copper veins. one could say you've only scratched the surface 🤔

[peak edge]

yeah, but this is a silver vein, is it normal for a silver vein to be this big? we just found it and i had some questions

[winged solstice]

yup

[smoky acorn]

You'll have to give us a bit more. Are you hosting the server yourself or is someone else hosting? If hosting it yourself, is it the in-game server or Valheim Dedicated Server and is it running on Linux, macOS, or Windows? Is it a Crossplay server?

Additionally, how are you trying to connect?: Community tab, favorites entry, loopback IP address, LAN IP address, external IP address, domain name, Crossplay join/invite code?

[knotty jetty]

im just complaining

oh its #valheim-help

[winged solstice]

true

[smoky acorn]

No prob, but if we can help you get connected, let us know 🙂

[limber kraken]

Is there a way to disable the structural part of valveim

For like a creative mode

[fathom badge]

You can use console commands to disable it, or mods. But not anything in the base game to my knowledge.

[limber kraken]

Ah

[surreal quiver]

Think triangles, it helps u build up more

[fathom badge]

Basically the support is based on two variables: the material it's made of, and the distance it is away from a "ground" connection (piece on the ground, attached to a tree, rock, etc.). If you build a stone building, you can build wood on top of it with the full amount of stability you can get from the ground (caveats and minor details notwithstanding)

[lone carbon]

hey, i want to get back into this game and bring my friends in and create a server any suggestions on pvp mod packs they preferably contain epic loot

[lilac coyote]

#mods-discussion is the best place to ask about mods.

[lost sandal]

I personally dont recommend mods on a returning playthrough, but if you really want them: #mods-discussion

[lone carbon]

sorry about that ill try there

[lost sandal]

[glacial holly]

i need to find it myself if u would like to look tgthr

[mossy compass]

Hello! Im looking for some help regarding my tender chickens. I've made a basement to provide a to-notch chick farm, where both eggs and chicken is served.

Upstairs I've got two coops of 8 hens, spaced 12 meters apart. However, my chickens doesn't seem to want to eat the food I provide. The egg producing coop did, but just for a little while. Anyone? 🥲

[karmic hearth]

You only can have 10 within 10m. If I understand your build correctly, the game counts the animals on both floors and the limit is reached.
Also what did you try to feed?

[mossy compass]

Does each coop have a 10 m radius which cannot hit another coops' radius, or just between coops? I could stream my setup. Basement with 12 meters down aswell.

Feed the usual different seeds, barley and dandies

[tribal current]

Pretty sure it mainly counts the chickens in a radius.

[karmic hearth]

It's capped at 10 animals in a 10m radius.

[tribal current]

I hear all chickens bear the ancestral curse of being delicious. They didn't choose to be delicious. Fate did.

[mossy compass]

Then I don't know whats wrong with my farm. the two different coops each have less than 10, and are spaced far away from eachother

I'm down in Meadow's Glade if anyone got time

[foggy sorrel]

Question: Hildirs quest - there are 9 locations on the map to retrieve her chests - 3 of each cave = after i return the first 3, are there rewards for the remaining 6 chests?

[lilac coyote]

No, only one of each type will be accepted.

[foggy sorrel]

dontr get gold or nothin for em?

[lilac coyote]

No, though you can use them as decoration.

[foggy sorrel]

perf - thats what i wanted to do but didnt wanna give them up if i got nothin for it

[foggy sorrel]

ty ❤️

[lilac coyote]

You're quite welcome.

[livid pebble]

Do you know any mods that allow you to place multiple items in a furnace at once?

[fathom badge]

That's probably a question for #mods-discussion , it doesn't take too long to just hold the loading button down though, IMO.

[livid pebble]

Sorry, I didn't see it

[fathom badge]

No worries 🙂

[ocean elbow]

I hate this game chat why tf did they make building so hard

[lilac coyote]

Hard?

[tough hare]

Building isn't hard at all.

You just need to be patient to get the right materials before starting to work at that Schloß Neu-Wannstein.

[ocean elbow]

It doesnt let you build that high without running to the roof breaking constantly

[glacial holly]

is there a way to mine out below water, i wanna make a dock but the waters to shallow and submerging causes me to swim

[tough hare]

Have you discovered iron yet?

[ocean elbow]

yes

[tough hare]

Wood iron poles, with core wood poles on top it of with wood beams on top of it can build pretty high.

And with "pretty high" I think about 30-40 meters up.

So unless you're planning to build the Empire State building, you can build high enough to get a roof on it.

[fathom badge]

The hardest part about building is stability. That's based on the material type, and how far from the ground it's attached. The roof will break if you don't have nearby support poles that connect to the ground with few connections. Raising the ground can help. The further from a blue colored supported piece it is, the less support it will have. Corewood is good for center support poles early in the game. Stone pillars are also great for extra support, you can build with wood very high on top of them.

[fathom badge]

Not a good way, no. Wait for a storm and big waves, and dig out when the water is low is the only technique I've gotten to work.

[viral cave]

Also make sure you're building on the ground and not the floor pieces. That's a really easy way to demolish your stability fast.

[frail cave]

I asked in general chat but anyone ever perfect an auto wolf farm?

If so I need tutorial plz 🙏 😩

[viral cave]

Tame 2 star wolves, breed them, and cull as necessary

[sharp path]

I want to use mods, how do i go about getting and installing mods for valheim

[clever juniper]

r2modman from the thunderstore is the most popular program you need to download and install

then through r2modman, install BepInEx for basic configuration of mods

After that, you can browse the store and try reading all the different mods in the store

[viral cave]

#mods-discussion has more people here that know how to help

[drowsy crane]

Would recommend not using mods until the game is fully released, upcoming changes could make playthroughs break completely, and some mods may become unsupported after release.

[viral cave]

Eh, I'd say enjoy the mods while you can in that case. But come in with the expectation that they will break in the future.

[wispy reef]

TAKE IT SLOW! the basic idea of modding games by us regular folk, not the actual people that create the mods, is this:

1. Download and install a Modding program like OkamaGS suggested, ThunderStore or Vortex
2. Select the game you wish to add mods to
3. Not essential, i never did, but there are reasons people do this "CREATE BACK UPS of the game and saved files (in other folders) before you begin changing your world with mods, that if things go crazy you can just redownload or open up your nonmodded files
4. Download and install the mods using the modding programs like vortex or thunderstore, BUT MAKE SURE you are reading almost everything for a single mod as many AND MANY MODS require you to download other MODS like "libraries" for a mod to work,

I know i am generalizing a lot of this and maybe other people have had more smooth experiences, but i freaking did not, and had to spend hours or days reading and watching tutorials.

Thankfully now a days there are many mods that give great descriptions about how to use their mod that you are wanting but there are some that are not as easy to use and require you to already have a basic understanding of their jargon,

As you add more mods and really chnage things how a game works far from how it was built, it becomes like learning another countries culture, their words or jargons, slang, principle places that you got to know of to downlaod a requirment for a mod.

ANYWAYS TL;DR, go slow and read and read and research

At times it can be very straightforward so dont be intimidated

[grave tendon]

When she tried using the join code, it kept failing. Ill try to get more info about the specific fail message.

[sharp path]

@clever juniper @viral cave @wispy reef Thanks

[glacial holly]

what are wolves prone to

like pierce or blunt dmg

[fathom badge]

Nothing. They're neutral to all damage types.

[twin trail]

Hey can you increase the size of your inventory?

[cloud lichen]

i dont think so

you can increase carrying weight, but not the number of slots

[twin trail]

How do you increase your carrying weight?

[glacial holly]

u can find a merchant in black forest, he sells a megingjord for i think 950 gold and it increases ur weight capacity to 450

[native brook]

Hey chat I reached Bronze Age what’s next

Like I got the bronze pick axe what do I mine to get to the next age? I need help it’s my first play through

[cloud lichen]

first, you gotta defeat the boss for the black forest, because the next thing to mine is inside a dungeon that the black forest boss drops the key to

(basically, kill forest boss, then take it's loot, then find the right dungeon type, then go inside and find some mineable stuff)

[twin trail]

My wife and I are really new (started july 4th) and are right now looking for the black forest

Just found the Mountain biome yikes and brrr

[cloud lichen]

very nice! hopefully you find one close to your base, but one that's also far enough away to not be a danger

[glacial holly]

when you obtain ||onion seeds do u start getting end game food recipes or is there more||

[willow thunder]

Does anyone know if it's possible to pop a silver ore vein without a iron pickaxe? Or do you need to at least break one part of it?

||Tho brownie points if you thought"you could use a black metal pickaxe without acquiring an iron pickaxe"||

[dapper arrow]

why are these 2 roofs falling again and again

[willow thunder]

Likely don't have enough structural support. Is the foundation (highlighted in blue) evenly distrubted on the ground level?

[dapper arrow]

Yes

[willow thunder]

How high up is this?

[dapper arrow]

2nd floor

Basement is not even but 1st floor is

[willow thunder]

Do you have things like windows under those spots?

[dapper arrow]

Yes

[willow thunder]

those windows might be why then. The stuctural support is at the limit at that height

what I would recommend is getting core wood, it has far better stuctural support. Just place a few beams around in your build and you'll be fine for 2nd story builds

[dapper arrow]

How do I get that

[willow thunder]

Cut down pine trees in the dark forest. You can cut pine trees with any axe (or at least flint axes for sure or above)

[dapper arrow]

Alright thanks man

[willow thunder]

Yeye, np. Happy building!

[cloud lichen]

there's wayyyyyyyyy more food than onions, which i dont think go past plains tier (short answer: no)

[viral cave]

There's more

[languid fern]

Do loxes breed in other biomed than plains if you have moved them?

[willow thunder]

Yes, As long as you give them cloud berries, they're happy

[dapper arrow]

😭

[willow thunder]

Aye! Looks like it's not broken now!
I'm not seeing the core wood tho, did you ever find it?

[dapper arrow]

No

Whenever I cut it turns into wood

[willow thunder]

Make sure your cutting fine and not fir trees
There are 2 different types of trees in the bf

[dapper arrow]

Oh

[small niche]

Black forest tall pines = Core , White Trees in Plains = Fine , All other is Wood which you willalso get from Core and fine trees as well as the core and fine

[willow thunder]

white trees in medows as well (aka birch) and oak trees also provide fine.

[naive spruce]

we used map visualizer to see what kind of map we got and we don't quite like 50% of it being water and earth being divided into small islands
is there a way to generate other "types" of seeds? For example gigantic continent instead of islands type.

[frosty frost]

https://valheim-map.world/ there you go, and no, you can only get "islands" since all of the seeds are a cut outs of one "master map"

[lilac coyote]

No, that's what Valheim looks like.

[naive spruce]

as i said, we used this tool 1 minute ago

[naive spruce]

dang it

ight, gotta pray to all gods of modding and see what nexus mods has to offer about this

[lilac coyote]

Ugh. At least use Thunderstore if you must.

[naive spruce]

what's the difference?

[lilac coyote]

Quality. Ease of use. Better support.

[naive spruce]

thank you for recommendation, never heard about it before

[frosty frost]

Or just use #mods-discussion and ask if anyone has found what you are looking for or if it exists 😄

[karmic spade]

Why can't i remove slow mode on my post edit?

[lilac coyote]

Because slow mode is there for a reason.

[karmic geode]

does the native linux builds support discord rich presence or am i the only one who don't see any activity in discord?

[lilac coyote]

Huh?

What does that have to do with Valheim?

[karmic geode]

i'll rephrase, does Valheim linux native release integrate the Discord Rich Presence SDK?

[frosty frost]

Might be question for #linux 🤔
This channel is for more general help with the game so there they might be able to give you better/any answers 😄

[karmic geode]

sure thanks

[ocean elbow]

How many iron poles do I have to put before I actually start to see improvement in the buildings stability

[frosty frost]

Not that many, just be sure to start building them from the ground, not from other pieces

[ocean elbow]

Ive hidden a couple in the corners at the ground

[frosty frost]

Look at the pieces with the hammer, you will see their color, the closer to the red pieces the iron poles are the more they will help

Ofcourse if they are still connected to the ground

[ocean elbow]

My roof is what I cant put down so should I put the iron poles higher up?

[frosty frost]

Its a good idea to put them as much to the middle of your build as you can, since then their stability is able to reach the largest area

[frosty frost]

yes

[ocean elbow]

Okay

[frosty frost]

Just be sure there is a line of iron wood poles going from ground all the waay to where you want to put the highest one

[grand turret]

Guys I need help on valheim. The swamp monsters are too strong. I cant get my items back. I went for a 25min walk for it for 4 times and build a ship. can anyone join my world maybe?

[fervent birch]

@grand turret What kind of food are you eating in the Swamp biome?

[grand turret]

dirt

[fervent birch]

Damn.

[grand turret]

please only 10min.

I was eating blueberrys and 2 sorts of meat

[fervent birch]

I would get better food tbh. You're on Meadows food when you should be on Swamp food.

[grand turret]

the black fish breaks also my boat everytime

[fervent birch]

The black fish (leech) in the Swamp?

[grand turret]

yes

the snakes its impossible for me

[fervent birch]

You need to up your food game first and foremost.

What kind of armor and weapons do you have available?

[grand turret]

i dont want to fight them i was walking around and then boom big problem

normal bow and troll armor

[fervent birch]

I think your main problem is you're moving into biomes you're not prepared for in food or equipment.

[grand turret]

I only want to check out the new boss and the items

[fervent birch]

Yeah but those guys are going to bully you until you get stronger.

[grand turret]

yes but i need my items

then i go back home and come back stronger

[fervent birch]

So run for it. You can swoop in and grab them and swoop out I'm sure.

[grand turret]

oh really hard i try again

[fervent birch]

Is your gravestone surrounded by baddies at the moment?

[grand turret]

yes

thats the problem why i die, when do they move away

[fervent birch]

I'm not sure what the AI does in that circumstance tbh. But make sure your inventory is empty enough to grab everything from your gravestone so you can grab it all, then use the buff getting those items form the gravestone gives you to run faaaar away.

They are all pretty slow so I bet you could lead them away from your stuff before you dash for it.

[grand turret]

Yes yes but the problem is my gravestone is in the water

[fervent birch]

Oh snaps. How far off shore?

[grand turret]

a little bit

i need to swim a bit

[fervent birch]

Oh so your main issue is the leeches. Now I'm picking up what you're putting down.

What's your boat situation? You got the raft?

[grand turret]

Ye

Can you join my World and go with my raft to the big animals with me

[fervent birch]

I wish I could, man, but I'm stuck at work.

Can you send me a screenshot of your situation?

[grand turret]

ah okay unlucky, when does your shift ends

okay wait i need to get to the position

i need a while

[fervent birch]

Would it be possible to grab your stuff while on the raft? Like a drive-by nabbing? I know those Leeches have a powerful hunger for HULLS.

[grand turret]

I tried, but they ate my boat

[sturdy copper]

Hiiiiii everyone

I been playing some valheim for a while and started looking at some mods. I have never really modded games and idk the rules around modding.
If i do mod valheim, will my account or game be banned by any chance?

[frosty frost]

Banned from what? 😄 Its a singleplayer game first and foremost, if you want some info about mods then you can go ask in #mods-discussion tho

[grand turret]

now i have another problem boat is stuck

[sturdy copper]

hehe idk

[fervent birch]

Oh no. Stuck where?

[fervent birch]

Nope, you're good to go. I am thinking I'll actually use a mod on the 1.0 playthrough.

[noble elk]

I've read on the wiki that the Fader vegvisirs can rarely spawn on top of charred ruins.
Has anyone encountered this and has a screenshot of it? I'm really curious how it would look.

[fervent birch]

Dang, noah. Those Leeches still bullying you?

Or did you make it out!?

[fathom badge]

You can break the boat with your weapon and rebuild it in a place that's easier to sail from. That's probably the easiest answer, you get all the materials back unless it breaks in deep water you can't recover it from.

[pseudo quest]

Is there a mod that makes weather mechanics more similar to reality? It feels wrong that all meadow biomes experience the same fog/rain regardless of where they are in the map

[fervent birch]

#mods-discussion Might help you get better attention to your query. ❤️

[frosty frost]

Yep there was a screenshot here of one, but they are extremely rare, only one specific type of ruins can have them and not even always iirc.

[tired root]

Yeah, there are. I might have posted a screenshot some time ago, let me see.

[tired root]

Here: #screenshots message

[noble elk]

Thank you kindly :)
Looks super cool ^^

[gritty warren]

How do I free up disk space for saves?

[fervent birch]

Delete some stuff, my guy.

[gritty warren]

Yeah, but where?

[fervent birch]

Give me some options.

Start with other games you no longer play maybe?

What operating system do you use?

[viral cave]

What operating system?

[gritty warren]

I’ve deleted A LOT i don’t have much left to delete

[gritty warren]

Let me check

[viral cave]

For Windows: Settings → storage → temporary files

Sometimes, there's entire gigs of bullcrap you can get rid of

Just be careful you don't tick the option to yeet your downloads folder into the abyss

(Unless you actually want to clear that out, obviously)

Valheim is tiny compared to most modern games. Only a couple of gigabytes iirc

[gritty warren]

Alright thank you! I’ve tried dealing with this problem before, freed up a lot but it’s full again 😔

[viral cave]

Are there any Windows updates pending? Sometimes, that will cause a few dozen gigabytes of files to accumulate.

[gritty warren]

Not that I’m aware of at the moment

[potent venture]

Hi I have run into quite some performance issues after entering Ashlands (lots of stutter ig, especially stutter with sounds) Didnt have any problems whatsoever in any other biomes. And I am quite certain that there is a game setting issue. Is there anyone I could talk about this in detail ? Or give my feedback ?
Feel free to dm. Thanks!

[livid pebble]

Hey, I’ve got an issue when launching Valheim with mods and the console, it starts spamming this error:

[Warning: Unity Log] The KeyCode: 1, lacks a proper counterpart in the Key enum. Returning "Key.None".

A few days ago, I tried binding emotes to some keys using the /bind command with Unity keycodes (saw this method online). Any idea how to fix this?

[alpine tapir]

a simple bugfix to stop it snowing in a meadow when you portal from a mountain would be nice

[lilac coyote]

That's not a bug though.

[jade rapids]

Take it to the correct channel, please #mods-issues

[limber kraken]

🦗 <- bug

[jade rapids]

Derek is correct. It's a visual only for a few seconds.

[livid pebble]

this is not a mod error, i bound the key in vanilla game

[fathom badge]

If you have mods installed, it's a mod issue. Uninstall mods and see if they problem persists. If not, it's definitely a mod issue.

[livid pebble]

without mods the console is not visible

[fathom badge]

Mods can have very unexpected interactions due to the way they hook into the game, including things you wouldn't expect due to what the mod theoretically addresses

[limber kraken]

Not true

[jade rapids]

Then check your Playerlog after closing the game.

[livid pebble]

Please tell me where I can find a file that contains my key bindings (if such a thing even exists)

[alpine tapir]

last time it happened to me it lasted a couple minutes.

[jade rapids]

It's in regestry of your PC

[jade rapids]

Than you have a low end client. For me it only last a second or two

[gritty warren]

Quick question, does it also free up more space if I delete some saves?

[viral cave]

On Valheim? Yes.
I just read over what you were saying earlier, and it seems to me like you delete files, but the space just fills up again for some reason. Is this true?

[gritty warren]

Yeah. I deleted all the useless ones, but I’m pretty sure valheim will just fill it up again quickly, as I wasn’t able to delete too much files

[viral cave]

It's probably not Valheim doing that.

[gritty warren]

Hmm okay

[viral cave]

So did you go here and try deleting some temporary files?

In Windows settings

[gritty warren]

I don’t use much other apps other than valheim, and the ones I do use don’t take up as much space

[gritty warren]

Ohh I forgot about it

I was worried about the bigger ones. I’ll do that right now

Freed up some mb’s

[pulsar tiger]

You should aim for 15-20% of your disk space to be free for decent performance. If there isn't enough space, your games will stutter or run poorly

[viral cave]

That depends on how large your disk is and your RAM/VRAM situation a lot of the time

[tall crystal]

NEED HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to craft Poison Mead but it not show up on Cauldron . I already have materials to craft. what did i do wrong?

[pulsar tiger]

I can almost guarantee having only a few MBs free affect performance, no matter the other specs

[viral cave]

Mead ketill, not cauldron.

[viral cave]

Oh yeah, definitely. 15-20% of the disk might be a bit extreme, though

[winged solstice]

you need to check out the metal mead thingie

[pulsar tiger]

oh yeah, on a 2 terabyte SSD, it's a lot. But on a 250gb, it's not much

[tall crystal]

THAT IS NEW THING I DIDN'T REALIZE ^^ THANK YOU SO MUCH . I'M NO PLAY FOR LONG TIME

[viral cave]

lmao np

[gritty warren]

I got 13.2 gb free! Lets go

[glacial holly]

I finally have silver

[glacial holly]

U usually only actually get 1.4 TB when u buy 2TB drives

Atleast with both 2TB m.2 ssds I’ve had I’ve only had around that

[fervent birch]

Congrats!

[gritty warren]

Thank you 🙂

[somber trail]

Any way I can make this copper chunk break down by itself?
None if it seems to be touching the ground.

[glacial holly]

It has anchor points, u can use a mod to see the points or get lucky

[jade rapids]

Looks can tricks you. If any of the deposits hit box are touching ground/tree/structure, it will not fall

[somber trail]

Some spots are close to touching. Gonna try breaking those.

[jade rapids]

Normally it will break, if you have 4m on all sides.

[lilac coyote]

No, it's just a larger hit box than the model. Nothing to do with anchor points.

[glacial holly]

lets not rule out the possibilities 😔

[lilac coyote]

I would when they're not true.

[fathom badge]

It's hard to do it with copper since the hitboxes are so large, and they can extend well into the ground that you can't mine deep enough to get around. I only have reliable success breaking silver nodes.

[glacial holly]

nvm sorry i looked at that image on my phone at like 5% brightness

[somber trail]

I see.

[somber trail]

It is quite dark, yes.

[glacial holly]

is there a way to keep an area force loaded so mobs spawn, i have a surtling farm quite far from my base

[limber kraken]

No

[clever juniper]

you or another player can stay afk in the area to allow for regualr spawns

[frosty frost]

Just don't expect to afk for 24 hours and come to hundereds or thousands of items, they will despawn after 1 irl hour if not in player base radius. Which they cant be in since that would also prevent the spawning of surtlings 🙂

[lucid canopy]

yo is there any mac users in chat

[lucid canopy]

is there a way to download mod profiles as a modpack instead

[tough hare]

You'd better ask that in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[lucid canopy]

oh i thought i was there

myb

[twin trail]

what does it mean when a enemy has what looks like an audio icon above their head?

[topaz igloo]

Means they are aware that you/someone they don't like is there but haven't seen you yet and are trying to locate you

[viral cave]

It means you should kill them

[twin trail]

so just got to the black forest - is there a new weapon we should be looking to make from here

[viral cave]

You'll know it when you get to it.

[glacial holly]

the 2 gyzers next to eahcother are spawning surtlings, but the 1 by itself isnt. Theres no workbenches interfering with spawns, does any1 know the issue

[twin trail]

when do you get to build teleports?

[viral cave]

Mid to late black forest - ||finewood, greydwarf eyes, surtling cores||

[smoky acorn]

How about proximity to your indoor fireplace or bed?

[glacial holly]

do standing torches count? and theres no bed

[viral cave]

Yes, they do.

[twin trail]

I got 2 out of 3 of those already

[twilit moss]

technically you can make those before bronze

[wanton dock]

is this good enough for the eggs to hatch

wait do i need a roof for them

[karmic hearth]

No, but fire which goes out during rain.

[obtuse vector]

Are there any settings in game that make the game brighter? I can't change my monitor brightness atm

[ornate finch]

Use "resetbinds" console command to fix up your custom binds. Let me know if you find out what you tried to bind on what key that causes this.

[ornate finch]

Sound stutters in Ashlands are known Unity engine issue, that Unity is supposed to have fixed recently.
Not sure when Valheim will incorporate that engine version with the fix.
Other stuttering issues are related to borders of cells and location un/loading when you cross those, and for that there is no fix atm.
Do a test to check if you are having additional stutters when spamming fire (mage fire staff), and if so, you GPU might be overheating and causing additional stutters.

[ornate finch]

Valheim saves are saved on the driver where you have Steam installed (not C).
It's C driver if you have Steam Cloud disabled.
I recommend using tools like WizTree that can graphically show you folders that occupy the most space.

[livid pebble]

Thanks for your help, but I've already fixed everything.❤️

[high rampart]

Can anyone help me on how to de-root the whole yellow-mushrooms? I planted them improperly and now I can't delete them off my garden.

[tired root]

Better ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[placid basalt]

Does middle mouse button not work to delete?

[high rampart]

It's not a furniture or stuff built by hammer; so it doesn't work.

[cloud lichen]

have you tried using a weapon on them yet? sorry if it seems like i'm just being stupid, but it's always better to ask

[lapis terrace]

could been placed by the serving tray?

[lucid canopy]

is thsi a viking graveyard?

[cloud lichen]

yep

[lucid canopy]

i see, silver necklaces drop from here from what i understand?

[cloud lichen]

yeah, i think they're buried in chests at the ends

[jade rapids]

Loot might be random.

[lucid canopy]

oke

[high rampart]

It actually worked with middle-scroll button, but it has to be done with the cultivator to unroot them. Thanks!

[fathom badge]

It's actually a buried ship if you look at the shape. If you've made a Karve, you can find the treasure at either end where the seats would be. Also... eat some food. You should basically never be without all 3 slots filled. That's a good way to die.

[misty hollow]

It looks like he's already pretty far into the game - if you look at his weapons and shield. the life points are probably enough as long as it's daytime

[fiery bane]

Been to 4 different swamps and haven’t found an abomination. Any suggestions why ?

[fathom badge]

RNG gonna random. Kill all the enemies you can and go back through, one will spawn. Also, please ask questions only in one channel at a time.

[frail cave]

I have unlocked and crafted Bronze Nails and i have also gathered finewood, but i still cant unlock the blueprint for the Karve??

[pulsar tiger]

Deer leather, fine wood, bronze nails and Resin.

[frail cave]

ive had all of them in my inventory and still not gotten it

[pulsar tiger]

It's in the misc tab, you need a crafting station to make it

[versed yoke]

what is this even for

[frail cave]

it still doesnt show up

[weary socket]

Banners

[viral cave]

There's a lot of recipes used throughout the game that use them

[pulsar tiger]

I'm 99% sure it'll be there if you have all the mats and are near a crafting station, send a screenshot so I can validate or look at something else for 30 seconds to refresh your brain

[viral cave]

Should be near the end of the list on the misc hammer tab

[pulsar tiger]

You have the ingredients, it looks like you're trying to craft it on the station but you have to build it with hammer

[versed yoke]

please go to the modded channel

[pulsar tiger]

question wasn't mod related, mind

[frail cave]

but its not a mod problem

[frail cave]

doesnt show up with hammer either

[viral cave]

There's a very high chance one of your mods fucked it up somehow. They hook into the game internals rather unpredictably and can break random shit like that

[frail cave]

i picked up the materials in vanilla too but it didnt fix it

[viral cave]

If it was modded at any point in time, it could still be broken even if you later switch to vanilla

[pulsar tiger]

Show the misc tab when holding your hammer pleae

[pulsar tiger]

yea it has to be one of your mods messing with it. never heard of this before. Maybe try grabbing enough to actually build it but it should still show recipe without

[frail cave]

alright

[viral cave]

Deer hide, finewood, resin, and bronze nails are the materials. Karve should automatically unlock.

If you start up a vanilla run and that doesn't work, throw it in #steam-bugs-discussion

[pulsar tiger]

See if you take your hammer out of the mods slot, maybe it'll update, put it on your hotbar.

I know stuff in my backpack doesn't register on my modded run

[frail cave]

sadly no

[vapid fern]

If you're using Balrond's mods the recipe is different.

[frail cave]

i went into a new new world with the same character vanilla and it got fixed

appreciate the help either way tho

[versed yoke]

hey how long does taming take?

[viral cave]

More than 1 second

[versed yoke]

and is it ok tame them in those holes in the ground you find in the mountains

[lilac coyote]

Taming for all tamables takes 30 minutes if uninterrupted.

[tired root]

^Half of that when consuming animal whisper mead.

[lilac coyote]

Aye, I always forget about that.

[fathom badge]

These kids and their new toys... back in my day, we had to go uphill to tame animals. Both ways. In the snow. For the full 30 minutes!

[tired root]

Yeah same, relatively new thing still so no wonder.

[viral cave]

And started Iron Gate Turnips

All while hauling a cart full of rocks

[winged solstice]

any tips for two handed hammers? they look cool and wanna make them work but they seem weak

[lunar cedar]

they thrive against groups because AoE and knockback, on single targets there are better options I think, but it's great to have on your inventory

[viral cave]

Prefire

[glacial holly]

great for crypts

[tired root]

They're AoE weapons effective against groups, huge knockback and 2x stagger multiplier.

[native brook]

chat what is this ?

[lilac coyote]

That would be Yggdrasil, also known as the World Tree.

[native brook]

is it worth exploring it ?

[lilac coyote]

You literally can't. It's central to the story of the game that it's unreachable.

[native brook]

ah ok

[lilac coyote]

Also, eat more food.

[glacial holly]

maybe repiar ur weapons aswel

[native brook]

yea 😂 im omw to my main base to do just that

[modest coral]

any devcommands to make terrain flat?

[lilac coyote]

No, just use your trusty hoe and pickaxe combo.

[limber kraken]

Don't be layz 😛

[lapis terrace]

yes

but it adds instances

[steel rose]

Anyone got any tips for the Elder boss?

[frosty frost]

To be on the safe side i would recommend finewood bow with fire arrows and hiding from attacks behind the pillars that are in the corners of his summoning place 🙂

[tough hare]

It's a sort of tree.
So use that what's damaging trees the most against him.

[viral cave]

Be prepared either for some mildly dangerous melee or a really, really long ranged fight.

[steel rose]

Ive been doing melee while my friends were shooting at him but the trolls in the forrest are the problem

[tough hare]

If you want to cheese it; activate the "No build cost" modifier and equip your hammer.
As soon as he shows up, start spamming camp fires all over, while also running away.
Eventually he will burn himself to death.

[steel rose]

had 4 trolls on us at one point

[steel rose]

I could try that but without no build cost

[viral cave]

I don't think cheeses with cheats enabled is what they're looking for

[lapis terrace]

My first time killing the elder I used a bow and learned the power of dodge-rolling 😄

[viral cave]

Melee bow strat, lovely

[steel rose]

idk how to kill the trolls now that elder is roaming the forest

[lapis terrace]

once one learned rolling. you can probably kill him with any melee weapon

[steel rose]

Im finnally putting my dark souls skills to use

[lapis terrace]

hell yeah

[steel rose]

thanks for the help maybe well try putting some campfires

[viral cave]

Spear + dodge rolls or atgeir scroll wheel spam

[lapis terrace]

any melee weapon works fine 🤔

[viral cave]

||pierce is better for trolls||

[glacial holly]

how do i level bow stat fastest, i just loaded 400 arrows into a || lox || and only went from 17 to 25, does range or amount of draw back affect the xp gain

[lapis terrace]

per hit

[glacial holly]

how much xp is it per hit. Its 22000 xp total for 100 right

[lapis terrace]

crap bow and wood arrows into a big slow target is the best way

[glacial holly]

thats exactly what i did

[lilac coyote]

Play game, don't worry about levels. Have fun.

[glacial holly]

i want fast drawback and better dmg. So i want to level it

id find it alot more fun being able to actually draw my bow back instead of tanking 2 whole hits before i can finally shoot it max (Or rather give the enemy enough time to run across a football field to me)

[viral cave]

Root set + wood arrows shooting at Bonemass from atop the altar

[waxen fox]

is the pet rock from april fool still in the game ?

[frosty frost]

Indeed 🙂

[glacial holly]

boss respawnable after killing it?

[true steeple]

You can spawn a boss as many times as you want, even having multiple alive at the same time.

[glacial holly]

i see, ty

[glacial holly]

any1 know why my building pieces are set as if they're top corner snap, i have snapping auto and even if i hold shift to disable it, its still doing this

[frosty frost]

Thats just what they do on certain objects, you have to live with that. 🙂

[glacial holly]

doing it on everything

[frosty frost]

Even normal ground?

[glacial holly]

even on wood platforms

[frosty frost]

I would try simply restarting the game and see if it fixes it 🤔

[glacial holly]

did the trick, ty

[glacial holly]

alright, this is actually kind of absurd

the xp system could definitely have another look at, 2 carts full of wood turned to arrows. All pumped into bonemass. and i went up 30 levels. What player genuinely just playing to enjoy the game would go through more than 1/3 of what i just used

to just enjoy the game, the xp system for a character is not well made

[lilac coyote]

Most players just don't bother about levelling as I've said before. Just let it occur naturally.

[stoic trench]

You gotta get out of the mindset that the intention is for skills to hit 100 👀

[glacial holly]

yes ur the reason i just said this. Getting this up naturally is not happening

[glacial holly]

so what level do the skills have an upgrade.

[lilac coyote]

Upgrade?

[glacial holly]

i want to draw the bow back fast

[vapid fern]

I'd say a good spot for bows is roughly 45, that's when it starts feeling really good.

[stoic trench]

It’s on a scale, so every level is an upgrade I guess? 🤔

[glacial holly]

like Level 10 drawback speed 1.2x speed so on so fourth. Does it work like that

[lilac coyote]

No, not remotely. https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Bows_(Skill)

[glacial holly]

1.5

22000 is max, id need 14k+ arrows

[lilac coyote]

You'll fire way, way, way more than those in the course of the game.

And it's 20,300.6 unless that's changed recently.

[glacial holly]

id finish the game before getting any stat even to 50

[lilac coyote]

You really won't. Unless you die a LOT of times.

But even so, given that the benefits of most skills taper off after 75, there's no reason to get even close to 100.

[glacial holly]

the wiki doesnt specify at what level the draw backs time decreases anywhere else i can see that

[lilac coyote]

Every level.

[glacial holly]

but at what %, 0.8?

[lilac coyote]

If that's what it works out at then yes.

[vapid fern]

I've never cared enough to do the math myself, but like I said Bows starts feeling good around 40-45. in my experience, at least.

[glacial holly]

mines at 48 rn and this many arrows left, so ill see how good it feels after these are up

[glacial holly]

if not existing, it would be nice to see thing to increase xp gains like an armour set, or a food type

[lilac coyote]

What?

[vapid fern]

I usually use greydwarf brutes for testing weapons when i can, since they have high health pools but little armor

[subtle parrot]

That would be getting a rest

[glacial holly]

i always have the rested bonus.

[subtle parrot]

Then you're getting an xp boost

[vapid fern]

I believe a rested bonus is a 25% increase in skill gain, but i could be mistaken on that.

[glacial holly]

50% wiki says

[subtle parrot]

I think you get an extra boost if you can use the resting bonus on top of that

[glacial holly]

? wdym, U rest to get the rested buff. wdym rest on top of that?

it wont apply the rested buff twice

[subtle parrot]

Resting and rested are different buffs

[glacial holly]

i guess, but no extra xp. also how would u apply that into what i was doing

u get it from being uninterupted. u cant shoot or do anything

[subtle parrot]

I don't know haven't trained skills like that but have seen some videos years ago about doing jump training using both but i guess things have changed since then or i just don't remember cause it was like 2 years ago

Or maybe they were just using it for the stamina regen

[glacial holly]

draugr in the snow?

[subtle parrot]

Sometimes they pop up in those towers yup

[twin trail]

so Im building a roof but cant seem to get proper support as seen here as its orange - how else would your re-enforce it?

[little zodiac]

if youve gotten to the black forest you can use core wood logs

[subtle parrot]

As long as it's not falling down it's fine

[little zodiac]

if you arent there yet you can raise the ground on the outside to help support

[twin trail]

just been here a couple of days and got a few but not many yet

[little zodiac]

core wood 4m beams will help for now

[viral cave]

Corewood beams. Also make sure that the lowest wall piece is blue instead of some other color - sometimes, it'll connect to the floor instead and throw away support really fast that way.

[full mesa]

To simplify building it all depends on structural integrity

Blue = ground support so its at its strongest
Green = Great support
Yellow = Ok support
Orange = Bad support
Red = Next structure beyond or above it will break upon placement

[coarse lantern]

is there any reason not to use the copper dagger?

its starting to be my favorite copper/bronze tier weapon

[jade rapids]

I'm jumping straight from flint to razor, since copper gives me boat

[frosty frost]

If you like knives, nope, use it as you see fit 😄

[coarse lantern]

wdym gives you boat

[jade rapids]

bronze nails?

[frosty frost]

They meant bronze 🙂

[coarse lantern]

ah

i havent made any yet lol

also, is honey the best food for stamina in meadows and black forest?

I've been using honey, boar, and deer for food

[frosty frost]

Once you get tin and bronze you can make better food than that 🙂

[coarse lantern]

is this also in the mead brewer?

I've been focusing on weapons/tools with bronze

[frosty frost]

The cauldron and cultivator to farm stuff 🙂

[coarse lantern]

ah, nvm i see

[coarse lantern]

also just made bronze nails, not seeing a new boat though

do I also need another type of wood or something?

[frosty frost]

Once you get bronze axe you can cut the types of trees that said "too hard" until now 🙂

[coarse lantern]

icic, ty

[tired root]

Fermenter requires bronze, yeah.

[coarse lantern]

does mead help with being in the mountain?

[frosty frost]

Yep, but you should not be there yet 🙂

[tired root]

One specific mead will, but you need some ingredients from the biome before mountain.

[coarse lantern]

yeah im in full troll armor and got 2 shotted by a wolf lol

[coarse lantern]

black forest?

[frosty frost]

First kill 2nd boss and his drop will tell you where to go next 😄

[tired root]

Swamp is your destination before mountain.

[coarse lantern]

ah

the mountain is in the one area next to my base i havent explored lol

[tired root]

@frosty frost Always 2 kinds of helpers, huh?

[frosty frost]

Yeah

[tired root]

One who gives small hints and other that tells right away.

[frosty frost]

From time to time one person can be both types xD

[tired root]

But yeah, leave mountains for a while and search for swamps after defeating the 2nd boss.

[coarse lantern]

bet

the elder is a massive jump in terms of difficulty lol

also, should i keep killing any troll I see or are they useless post black forest?

[frosty frost]

You dont really need much materials from them past black forest 🙂

[little zodiac]

youll need their trophies if you want to fish for black forest fish

other then the troll set there isnt any other use after that

[coarse lantern]

wait how do i get a fishing rod 😭

[little zodiac]

haldor

or find one in a mountain cave

[coarse lantern]

whats haldor?

[frosty frost]

Trader that you can find in Black forest

But i would really not spoil much more 😄

[coarse lantern]

icic

ty

[coarse lantern]

best way to deal with a troll close quarters?

I've just shot them while going around logs it knocked down before

[frosty frost]

Atgeir 🙂

[coarse lantern]

I refuse 2 handed weapons lmao

[frosty frost]

Then spear or knife 😄 something with pierce dmg is quite effective

[coarse lantern]

i just found that out lol

[frosty frost]

-# And just a side note, Atgeirs are very op 😄

[coarse lantern]

340 dmg heavy on his back

[coarse lantern]

I've been hearing that from the wiki, but i also don't wanna completely cheese the game

[frosty frost]

Oh i woud not say its cheesing 😄 but you do you ofcourse

[coarse lantern]

icic

i also just found out trolls are weak to turning

[cosmic mesa]

The main reason not to use it is that the 8 Copper it uses can be combined with 4 Tin to get 4 Bronze total, which is 2/3rds of the way to the Bronze Spear, or 1/2 of the way to the Bronze Atgeir (extremely strong for Bronze Age) or the Bronze Sword.

Mostly feels like a waste of resources to me.

Especially early on in the Bronze Age.

[little zodiac]

you can also get the abyssal razor in the bronze age as well which is better then the copper dagger

[cosmic mesa]

True

[frosty frost]

Yep, since the abyssal razor is an iron tier weapon 🙂

[coarse lantern]

bronze sword has worse dps in my experience, i parry a ton and i believe the 4x bonus dagger has is making it outdo the sword (for me)

[cosmic mesa]

If you're parrying a lot, then fair enough.
I'd still say to skip the Copper Knife in favour of the Abyssal Razor though.
It's not that hard to get iirc.

[coarse lantern]

true lol

[coarse lantern]

and yeah 90% of the time im parrying, anything i dont think i can parry/know i can parry i usually swap to my bow for

i assume abyssal razor is from swamp?

[cosmic mesa]

Sea.

[coarse lantern]

ah

[little zodiac]

razor is easy to get usually

[cosmic mesa]

You boat out and find Leviathans.

[coarse lantern]

what else do i need from leviathans? i have chitin

[livid pebble]

are there any spoilers for the combat update?

[cosmic mesa]

They have barnacles on their back you use your pickaxe on, and that then gives you the material for the Abyssal Razor.

[cosmic mesa]

Finewood and Leather Scraps

[coarse lantern]

I have chitin, just not whatever else it requires

ah, icic ty

[cosmic mesa]

4x Finewood and 2x Leather Scraps with the 20x Chitin

You only need Chitin for upgrading the quality though

I believe it goes...
10x Chitin
20x Chitin
and then 30x Chitin

[coarse lantern]

is there a way to increase leviathan spawns? last one dipped before i could get all the barnacles

[little zodiac]

no they are a one and done thing

just gotta find another

[lilac coyote]

You'd need some kind of world gen mod to do that.

[little zodiac]

although past the abysal stuff theres no use for chitin so its not a mat that youre going to be really hunting for

[coarse lantern]

icic

what all affects carry weight?

moments ago i had like 450, now i have too much it says

[little zodiac]

might have picked something up or you may have unequipped the belt

[coarse lantern]

the belt?

[little zodiac]

everything has a weight to it

how do you have 450 carry weight?

base is 300

[coarse lantern]

im not sure tbh, i saw it while running to copper

then a wolf jumped me, i ran back and its no longer 450

[little zodiac]

i think its a bug your base carry wieght should be 300 without anything else

[coarse lantern]

odd

[little zodiac]

theres a belt that adds 150 carry weight

[coarse lantern]

interesting

also, do ore nodes refill?

[cosmic mesa]

No

Gotta be careful with what you craft

[little zodiac]

they dont refill but in later biomes stuff starts showing up again and allows you to collect it without having to backtrack for the most part

[coarse lantern]

icic

[lilac coyote]

The corpse run buff gives you a temporary 150 too.

[little zodiac]

i didnt ever notice that

[tired root]

Bronze sword can be actually as good or a bit better than bronze mace inside the burial chambers due to no multi target penalty: in narrow hallways the walls count as target that lowers the overall damage with mace but not for sword, even though skeletons are weak against blunt.

[steel rose]

should copper deposits fly ?

[frosty frost]

They have quite large invisible hitboxes that check for stability and they are probably touching the ground, tree, side of the hole or structure thats holding it up 🙂

[steel rose]

Ill try mining more around it thanks

Is there a way to see those invisible hitboxes

[frosty frost]

Not in vanilla, no

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Copper_deposit If you look on bottom of this page you can see how they may look tho 🙂

[steel rose]

found the sollution

thank you soo much

[jade rapids]

...and your solution was...?

[lunar cedar]

one of the things mentioned were touching it

[fallen hare]

is there a way to spawn creatures or things in valheim?

[pseudo summit]

trying to tame my first Askvin, dug a pit, but all the ones I've pulled into it just sit there with their head against the wall

is it possible to have a pit too deep?

guessing mine is around 8 m

I was able to sneak down into the hole to check it's status and it just shows wild and hungry, meanwhile there is a stack of vineberries, a smoke puff and a fiddlehead sitting on the ground right next to it

[frosty frost]

Yep 🙂 https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console

[spare ravine]

copper deposit will not break as long as they intersect with another object

once either objects are sufficiently broken so that they no longer intersect, it will all break appart immediately

[finite crown]

are there any restrictions/problems with unlocking the option to build inside dungeons? (via global keys)
portals might still have to be placed outside but are there other issues to keep in mind?
i've always wanted to build there (especially in troll caves/frost caves and once they were introduced inside the infested mines) but i don't want to break my world file.
advice would be appreciated.

[ocean elbow]

If I load up a longboat's storage completely with stacks of scrap iron will I be able to steer it and move it back to my base?

[little zodiac]

yup

[full mesa]

Huh I actually didnt notice that

does this affect the 2-h swords as well?

[frail cave]

The ships are NOTHING like that stupid cart. Gave up on the cart after my first couple runs and just ran back and forth to my base. I had the same concern when I first started sailing, if there is a decrease in mobility it is negligible.

[ocean elbow]

Got it thanks

[coarse lantern]

how bad is cart?

[frail cave]

If you use it, make sure to make a path between where you are coming from and where you are going, otherwise it will just frustrate you to no end. It is good if you take the time to prepare to use it, but if you just try and pull it through the BF/Swamp without pathing it can be a bit of a challenge; especially fully loaded.

[little zodiac]

its good on mainly flat surfaces or mostly flat, anything that gets in its way will stop it including the branches and what not on the ground. On of the better uses for it is to use it in mountains to throw stuff down to your ship/base or to put it on a longship and use it for additional storage, getting on there requires a bit of building nonsense but it will work, however the down side to it is that it wont be "stable" on the ship and will roll/damage the ship depending on the how bad the waves are

[lilac coyote]

The cart isn't bad at all, it's a great way of carrying a lot of resources easily.

[full mesa]

Useful in main bases aswell especially if your base is quite flat

[tired root]

2h swords do have MTP but 1h swords don't. Which should be other way around.

[viral cave]

Or just remove it for 2h swords

[tawny ledge]

I have mod's and for some reason I cant craft anything in my forge can anyone join a vc and try to help me??? Or try to help me figure this out without any Vc. I think Vc would just be easier.

[subtle parrot]

#mods-issues

[crystal shore]

hello! I just checked the pinned messages, but I did not find the solution to my problem.... Valheim sound started stuttering! I reinstalled, it goes on... any solutions? I looked online but there are soooo many things

[tired root]

It's a known issue with the game engine afaik. If there are too many sound sources they start stutter, which is more noticeable in Ashlands.

[crystal shore]

I thought it would be the game engine... Also that does make sense, I noticed that it stopped in the Mountains. Is there any actions I can take to minimize it?

[tired root]

Don't make too many torches/sconces in your base at least, lol.

[crystal shore]

oh... So no setting I can mess with 😛 Ty!!!

[tired root]

Well, you could set music off at least I think, I do that sometimes and put some music to play when I go to Ashlands.

[ornate finch]

Unity has supposedly fixed this engine bug, so hopefully the fix ends up in one of the upcomming patches.

[coarse lantern]

that sounds terrible to deal with if you're not just getting resources next to your base

do planted vegetables go bad? I've planted a ton of carrots while running around, twice and I'm pretty sure they just despawned

or do i just need like fertilizer or something?

[true steeple]

They can be attacked by enemies

[coarse lantern]

ah

they were outside my walls next to the trees that I've been growing

I am genuinely horrified at the possibility of finding a serpent on this slow ass boat

I found a greydwarf warning runestone on the island i thought was a leviathtan

[full mesa]

Food doesn't decay so feel free to plant a kingdom size farm

But they do get attack just like what blobi said

[coarse lantern]

honestly probably gonna make a fenced in field once im back to base

but im not setting sail yet, its raining and night 😭

is there any way to tell if somethings a leviathan or island from a distance?

[tough hare]

A tip: (when you're on PC)

When planting food items, press "C" to switch from the 'normal' running mode to walking.
After that, move forward and only plant things when the image of the item turns from red to green.
That way it's easier to get straight lines, which in turn will make it easier to get a maximum harvest.

Later, when you're more experienced with planting, you can do this while remaining in the normal movement speed. But to start going slow is better.

Also, make sure you keep at least 1-2 paces (which is why "slow movement" is that useful) between each row of crops and any obstruction like walls, poles, beehives, trees, rocks and the like.

Crops like open space and when they're too close to any kind of obstruction they will wither and die. Leaving you wondering where they went.

[coarse lantern]

rip I've lost everything in the swamp

no chance of me getting it back either, there were like 4 draugr, 2 with bows, a leech and a skeleton

[eternal pasture]

im a newbie and i wanna farm sea serpents, just beat one but idk if i can afk in the same area the first spawned, or i should explore the ocean for others

[knotty jetty]

heh, this noob doesn't even know anything about sea serpent spawn mechanics

[eternal pasture]

sadly your observation does not help my cause

[knotty jetty]

how about you observe a job application

[coarse lantern]

from what I've seen on the wiki it has to be night or raining, and in deeper water

[eternal pasture]

well yea but idk if they can "respawn" in the same place or i just have to explore more ocean

like be in the same place the first one spawned during a night/storm and hope for another one

[frosty frost]

They can but they don't have to, so exploration is usually better 🙂

[eternal pasture]

i see, thank you!! ^^

[coarse lantern]

is there a way to like

bring all your gravestones to you

[cedar lodge]

🤔 don't think so even with devcommands, maybe bring you to the gravestone is more likely

[coarse lantern]

that works for me, i genuinely cannot grab my corpse from the little swamp island its on

[cedar lodge]

not an expert in devcommands but you can see a list of them here https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console (official wiki > Developer Console) maybe "findtp" ("Cheat commands" section of the page) is what you're looking for

[little zodiac]

if you wanna get to a specific spot on the map you'd need to use devcommands > debugmode > then ctrl+middle mouse button on the location you want to teleport to on the map

[finite yoke]

Looking at it, if it's small and has barnacles it's a leviathan. Otherwise it's an island/other landmass

[coarse lantern]

I figured it out, ty

[coarse lantern]

i just used god and flew over there, had to make sure i didn't go too fast so i wouldn't explore by accident lol

[little zodiac]

that works as well just not as fast sometimes

[coarse lantern]

i mean speed wasn't an issue lol its just apparently everything that can spawn in swamp did spawn right next to my corpse

[little zodiac]

i mean more along the lines of going from the spawn point to say some place like ashlands or another place on the far edge of the map

[coarse lantern]

icic

[knotty jetty]

how do i support a stone floor that isnt directly on the ground?

[coarse lantern]

pillars

[coarse lantern]

use this for reference

[fathom badge]

After a viable area to spawn a serpent either succeeds or fails there is a time out of like 20 minutes before it will check again. So your best bet is to sail long distances in the ocean at night and during storms.

[fathom badge]

You can use pillars directly to the ground, and you can use the angle stone support pieces underneath if you have an appropriate place to attach them. Or ironwood.

[limber kraken]

what does the "Exploremap" devcmd actually do?
does it actualy force the gm to say we explored the entire world? or not? and will it affect updates?

[true steeple]

It reveals the map texture which is already fully drawn and covered by a separate fog texture, no unexplored areas are loaded.

[limber kraken]

so when an update like DN comes out i can redo the explore map command and then have that update?

[true steeple]

The map texture should update automatically as it did with Ashlands

[foggy sorrel]

I have question

are stone golems related to rocky? have i been killing rockies family trying to farm silver??

[weary socket]

I don't know if it's a bug but I have a few keybinds for emotes and freefly. However, they activate whenever I'm typing on the map or in a sign. It looks awkward to randomly start dancing if I type a specific letter when changing a map marker.

Is there a way to change this or do I just need to remove the binds?

[frosty frost]

I wouldnt say bug, but rather oversight, you can probably report it to https://www.valheimgame.com/support/
You could bind it to other keys you dont use normally, like number keys for example

[weary socket]

I am submitting a report now, thanks.

[eternal pasture]

i found a tiny swamp island and i was wondering if filling it all with workbenches would stop enemies from spawning (i know they usually do but considering how scary the swamp is maybe they still could spawn)

[tribal current]

So I'm thinking of doing a no map, no portal run of Valheim. But I wonder how navigation would work. Is it true the stars and the world tree can assist with that?

[weary socket]

Work benches will prevent spawns. Just make sure there are no uncovered areas.

[eternal pasture]

yep, thanks ^^

[tribal current]

I personally use campfires. Enemies don't actively target them and they also block spawns. Not to mention their compact nature and the ability to easily use a hoe to bury them. I use it in Ashlands, myself. Cuts down on the harassment by 80%.

[little zodiac]

i usually just make a main base in one of the existing strongholds in ashlands and dont bother with trying to nullify spawns, they are indestructible from mobs and the spikes on them kill the enemies well enough

[weary socket]

What is Valheim's current version? I can't log in at the moment to check, and Google is being inconsistent.

[tribal current]

It appears to be version 0.220.5.

[frosty frost]

Yep, 0.220.5 is the current one

[formal ocean]

i have a question on recovering a dedicated server world. i used to have

[alpine lark]

I might be able to help. If you run locally it's in you appdata folder.

C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local

[frosty frost]

Just keep in mind that the appdata folder is normally invisible 🙂

[lucid yacht]

Why no spice rack?

[frosty frost]

Look into hammer menu under crafting tab iirc 🙂

[viral cave]

Hammer, not workbench.

[lucid yacht]

my goats 🙏

[limber kraken]

how does eitr work

[frosty frost]

Stamina for casting basically 🙂

[limber kraken]

right but how does one equip it XD

[frosty frost]

You eat the right food 🙂

[alpine lark]

pretty good. no it's food for magic weapons

you use it to make magic weapons

certain foods give you eitr or weapon won't work.

[frosty frost]

Wait, you mean refined eitr or just eitr?

Refined eitr is item used for crafting magic stuff and eitr is a stat like stamina that is used for casting 🙂

[knotty jetty]

is there a command for infinite stamina?

[subtle parrot]

#valheim-help message

[knotty jetty]

ty

and is there a faster way to terraform with commands?

[frosty frost]

What kind of teraforming?

[knotty jetty]

digging out dirt

[frosty frost]

So making holes, no i dont think so, but making flat areas is possible 🙂

[knotty jetty]

with the hoe?

[frosty frost]

With commands.

[knotty jetty]

tell

[frosty frost]

I suggest you test it on separate new world first, to learn how it works and you don't mess up your main world.
It is ||location DevGround1 SAVE for an circle area with radius of around 5m and location DevGround2 SAVE for a big circle area with radius of around 20m.|| The SAVE at the end allows the game actually save because otherwise it doesent save anything past your use of the location command. And you also cant remove it once you use the command with SAVE at the end so be EXTREMELY careful with it.

[knotty jetty]

i made a separate world just for testing out builds before a make them

is the height relative to where you are or fixed?

[frosty frost]

Relative to where you are standing.

[knotty jetty]

ty

[little zodiac]

if you dont mind using mods there is a good one called terraintools that has a shovel that can dig dirt directly down to where you aim at

[knotty jetty]

O

[little zodiac]

it also has a terrain undo on the hoe that revert that tile back to what it was at game start

[limber kraken]

oh so you basicaly HAVE to kill moder to get stuff from mist land...i see

[glacial holly]

interesting

[frosty frost]

Dig the ground a bit more under it 😄

[limber kraken]

What would you suggest (as an S&S user to kill moder?)

[frosty frost]

Sword and shield i assume? Go with silver sword and silver shield then 🙂

As well as draugr fang bow with obsidian arrows

[limber kraken]

🫡

[frosty frost]

Ofcourse dont forget to bring the best food you can get 😄

[lilac coyote]

You're asking a bit much there.

[frosty frost]

Just a little

[tribal current]

I feel like Moder is mainly intended to be a half & half melee & ranged fight. Or more of the latter. Fire arrows do good work there.

[frosty frost]

They do since she is weak to fire 🙂 but the pure pierce dmg of obsidian arrows still tops them even with that.

[tribal current]

Really? I've always used a bunch of fire arrows for cost-efficiency, but I'll have to try that next time I'm doing the fight.

[frosty frost]

It just means you use a bit less arrows, the fire ones will probably still be more cost effective 🙂 but why not go for obsidian arrows, you dont use obsidian for much else anyway.

[little zodiac]

i tend to swap between the two, hit her with a fire arrow swap to obsidian til the fire dmg wears then repeat

[full mesa]

Obsidian is quite abundant aswell

Wish they had more uses

Needle arrow is practically free delivery

Deathsquitos are everywhere in the plains

[little zodiac]

still like frost too much at that time to switch to em

[full mesa]

Poison arrows is pretty much a direct upgrade to obsidian arrows

[viral cave]

I hope they add a deathsquito raid in the combat update

[little zodiac]

i wouldnt mind having a mistlands raid after you kill the queen

[frosty frost]

Meh, the majority of dmg is poison, and it doesent stack so you have to wait for it to end to get full dmg from it.

I still use them if i find them but i really dont make them

[viral cave]

Also, poison is resisted by basically everything in the game

[full mesa]

"Hey do you hear that buzzing"

What would be a good raid name for deathsquitos

[viral cave]

"The sound of buzzing fills the air..."
"The buzzing is gone"

Or, even better:
"Dear fuck."
"Thank fuck."

[little zodiac]

althought tbh deathsquitos are easily manageable with stakes/spikes

[glacial holly]

so hard to find a vanilla dedicated server

[lilac coyote]

There are dozens in #1024264966712340510 I'm sure.

[glacial holly]

u would think so wouldnt u

[lilac coyote]

I definitely would, yes.

[frosty frost]

Should be fairly simple if you select the vanilla(no mods) tag 🤔

[lilac coyote]

Oh, then yeah, just no-one wants to play with you, sorry.

[glacial holly]

yea which i dont blame someone whos 30 not wanting to talk to someone that much younger than them

[frosty frost]

I would bet that if you just tell that you will turn 18 fairly soon they still might let you play with them even when they have the 18+ requirement 🙂

[lilac coyote]

I think if you started your own it would be fairly dead.

[glacial holly]

ded as in dedicated

[lilac coyote]

People just trying to cover their backs. It sucks, but I'm very wary around people much younger than me.

Just in time for the next update, maybe.

[glacial holly]

@lilac coyote when they list with their region does it rlly matter if urs is different

u would obviously lag but does valheim not let u connect to other regions or do they just mention it so u know if ur gonna have stable ping

[lilac coyote]

No, Valheim itself doesn't care where the server is, but yeah the lag can be unbearable for people in different regions so people will often try and avoid it.

[limber kraken]

so..just killed moder...am I missing something to unlock the black metal axe? is there some hidden need?

[topaz igloo]

Have you collected the plains crops?

[limber kraken]

why do i need thread for an axe 🤦‍♀️

[topaz igloo]

Ummm, tie the axe head to the handle I guess….

[limber kraken]

thats rope not thread lol

[topaz igloo]

Ik, buts it’s the closest thing we have

[full mesa]

Flax is used to make rope irl

[coarse lantern]

on day 40, where am i supposed to be material wise?

like all my gear

[little zodiac]

ehhh depends really

depends on how much time youve spent doing other stuff in the game IE farming crops, getting materials, breeding, building, etc.

atm im on day 570 something i think >.> dont let it concern you though nothing changes/gets harder as the time progresses

[coarse lantern]

wait wait breeding?

[little zodiac]

taming/breeding yea

[coarse lantern]

ik, i just wanted to have a general idea how far ahead/behind i am

[coarse lantern]

ik you can tame boars, is it worth doing?

[little zodiac]

it can be yes the meat comes in handy for food later

where are you at currently gear wise?

[coarse lantern]

honestly like everything needs scrap leather i need to start a farm lol

[coarse lantern]

level 2 bronze pick, axe, and buckler with a copper knife, also level 2 (no luck finding leviathans)

[little zodiac]

have you gotten any bronze or troll armor yet?

[coarse lantern]

yep, level 3 troll armor

[little zodiac]

also have you gotten carrot seeds yet?

[coarse lantern]

you reminded me though, I need to get more troll hide bc i levelled my bench again

[coarse lantern]

yeah but havent felt like making a whole new fenced area for it

its not that i dont have the wood lol

[little zodiac]

start a farm youll get some good food from carrots and its some time to just chill and tend to the base; you can also breed/tame some boars while you do that just dig a pit for them and push them in or shield block them into it and give them some food

[little zodiac]

you might want to put the boars into their own house type of thing, a fence will work for now...

[coarse lantern]

do they have skyrim horse legs or does a pit work?

[little zodiac]

a pit should work given its deep enough main thing is to not have the sides at any angle they can walk up, basically if you can walk up it so can they; you dig a pit straight down and expand out while keeping vertical walls and they should be safe inside it

[coarse lantern]

[real light]

Hi everyone! 👋
I'm new to Valheim and just defeated The Elder (second boss). I recently gathered all the ingredients for sausages: entrails, raw meat, and thistle. I also have a cauldron placed over a fire, but the recipe still doesn’t show up when I interact with it.

Do I need to upgrade something, like the cauldron or workbench, or is there some requirement I’m missing after beating Elder?
Is this maybe related to my progression or world settings?

I’m playing vanilla (no mods) and I’ve tried picking up the ingredients again, restarting, and crafting stations seem to work fine otherwise.

Any help would be super appreciated – thanks in advance!

[little zodiac]

need to upgrade the cauldron to lvl 2

[little zodiac]

youll need turnips (which you can get the seeds from swamp and carrots which you can get the seeds from the black forest, you should have gotten all the other mats already)

[real light]

Thank you very much! I was going crazy trying to figure this out 😅.
I had no idea the cauldron needed to be upgraded to level 2

[little zodiac]

np~

[tired root]

For you to know, each biome after Black forest will have 1 new upgrade for cauldron.

Food upgrades are important.

[wanton veldt]

helo question does sledge / demolisher scale with club skill

[frosty frost]

Yep 🙂

[wanton veldt]

thank youu

[frosty frost]

Same goes for battle axes and axe skill 😄

[finite yoke]

FYI: Valheim has a decently well maintained wiki, where you can find answers to the simpler questions. Nothing wrong with asking here, but you usually can get an answer quicker from the wiki.

[wanton veldt]

would the "type" in wiki indicate what skill it scales with?

[frosty frost]

Yep 🙂

[lilac coyote]

Hm, wonder if that SHOULD read Skill rather than type.

[frosty frost]

I do think type still fits best, since it is actually reffering to the type of weapon, the skill just has the same name so they are interchangable pretty much.

[limber kraken]

"Why is it so hard to get birch seeds...this games realism isn't all that great" 🤭

[lilac coyote]

Heh, that name is ironic.

[signal spade]

Hey, even though i have all the ingredients for different plains food i cant see them in the cauldron, and the cauldrons level is not the problem since i have it in level 5, does anyone know why?

[true steeple]

Food that is cooked in an oven now needs to be crafted at the food preparation table

[signal spade]

Oh okay, thank you!

[crisp pawn]

should i make the troll armor or the bronze armor
i've always been going for bronze armor but i realized that its not much better than the troll armor
and now im wondering which one should i make

[fervent birch]

I would stick with Troll tbh. 4 play throughs and never made bronze armor once.

[viral cave]

I personally like troll. Less of a grind and no slowdown while moving.

[fervent birch]

And you can save that copper/bronze for other stuff.

[crisp pawn]

yeah the bronze grind really burns me out early game

and a lot of upgrades require bronze too

time to go troll hunting i guess

[viral cave]

Here in Valheim, no one chooses to spend bronze for the armor. It’s better to be efficient and do the 5 troll kills for the troll set rather than waste your entire bronze stockpile for just 6 armor points more.

[tough hare]

Oh, you're gonna loooooove the iron age then.

[viral cave]

At least that has a lot of combat mixed in

[crisp pawn]

i have 430 hours on the game and never made troll armor once

[crisp pawn]

i personally kinda enjoy it

its definetely better than the bronze age

[tired root]

Iron age unlocks all those cool weapons, like Battleaxe.

[tough hare]

The Bronze Age isn't as bad as most people think it is.
The biggest problem with it, is that you need two resources and once people have bronze it's often spend on the items you don't need right away.

In general, two copper nodes (with about 90 copper each) is more than enough for the basic needs. When the resource modifier is set to 1,5 you may even be able to get things done with one.

What's needed are:

• a bronze axe
• nails for a Karve;
• the cultivator;
• a bronze mace;
• a bronze buckler or better shield;
• copper for the forge and 1 - 2 fermenters.

What isn't needed (right away):

• a bronze pickaxe,
• a bronze sword;
• a bronze spear;
• bronze armor (although that is depending at the play style)

Given you need 10 tin for the cauldron and the amount of tin needed to turn items into bronze the "bronze grind" isn't about copper, but about tin. Which is a lot more scattered around.

[crisp pawn]

never really tried the battleaxe

i've always been going for maces just cause they're good for most things

in my current playthrough i was thinking to maybe use something else

and some other armor sets like the troll and the root armor set

but im not sure if root is that good of an armor set

[pulsar tiger]

I've always spent at least 2x as long getting copper than tin, it's also a 2:1 ratio so I'd rather mine tin than copper personally.

Bronze is the least fun imo, but I've still done it like 10 times

[crisp pawn]

same here

[viral cave]

Root is great. In fact, the chest piece is so overpowered that it still sees legitimate use in Ashlands.

[crisp pawn]

doesn't the armor set make you weak to fire tho?

[viral cave]

The light armor sets don't have movement penalties, are less grindy, and have set bonuses (improved archery for root), which makes up for the lower armor points

[viral cave]

Yes, but almost nothing does enough fire damage for that to pose any real threat even with HSS food.

[crisp pawn]

abominations are the things i hate the most

[tough hare]

Which means that for one copper node you need to find and mine 10 tin nodes.

And while tin is only found at coastal areas, it also means you need to travel quite far along the coast to get what you need.

[crisp pawn]

it also spawns near those creeks that u can sometimes see in black forests

[viral cave]

They aren't that bad if you melee them with a slash weapon.

[pulsar tiger]

Yep, tin you get to explore, follow the coast, find burial, etc. Copper you sit still and hit the same rock for 15-30 mins then cart 100 ores for 5-10 mins

Same time, one feels a lot better imo

I still do bare minimum bronze, get to the swamp and make iron

[crisp pawn]

the parry timing kinda feels weird to me

and also i always used maces so i had to use an axe to do some actual damage to them

[viral cave]

You don't even need to parry, you can just roll

[crisp pawn]

or just sit on top of a log and shoot them with fire arrows

and i also hate wraiths
a lot

[viral cave]

I run sword and later battleaxe against aboms. Battleaxe can parry aboms with enough health and does like half its health worth of damage with one 3-hit combo while it's staggered.

[crisp pawn]

do u use them for bonemass too or just the aboms

[viral cave]

Mace for bonemass

You don't need an iron axe if you have a battleaxe, so the inventory space works out the same

[crisp pawn]

oh u can cut down trees with it too?

i thought only the mistlands axe and berzerkir axes could do that

[viral cave]

Nope, battleaxes as well. That includes

[crisp pawn]

thats good to know

[scarlet delta]

y'all think im ready for moder

I also have a small wolf army

[wicked dove]

How do i turn a sail?

[viral cave]

Left and right

[crisp pawn]

yeah you definetely are

[wicked dove]

yeah a and d aint moving the saill its stuck facing right

[crisp pawn]

its facing the direction the wind is blowing in

u need to turn your entire boat that direction to go faster

[wicked dove]

oh it just does it automatically?

[crisp pawn]

yes it depends on where the wind is blowing

[wicked dove]

oh right

so if the winds not blowing the way i wanna go do i just wait?

[lilac coyote]

It's a sail.

[crisp pawn]

that arrow in the bottom left of ur minimap shows the current direction

[crisp pawn]

u can use ur paddle

it will go slow but u will still go

[wicked dove]

oh how would i make that? atm ive just got a simple raft

[crisp pawn]

u see those arrows that appear when u press W a couple of times

[wicked dove]

oh yeah

[crisp pawn]

so 1 arrow means that the oar is being used

2 arrows half of the sail
and 3 the full sail

[wicked dove]

oh yeah im moving now

wow thanks

[crisp pawn]

it will also show an oar icon on the left or right on ur screen im pretty sure

[wicked dove]

yeah the right

ty very much

[crisp pawn]

you're welcome

[inner maple]

Is there any way I can make it so build pieces only appear damaged visually when below 50%, so rain doesn't change appearance of wood?

[lilac coyote]

Not without mods.

[tired root]

It might feel slow at first, but it's effective against groups. For example: #memes-and-clips message and #memes-and-clips message

[modern kraken]

does anyone know what love potion is for?

[pulsar tiger]

Love potion
''Effect
Its consumption increases the spawn rate of Trolls (from 5% to 25%), increases the chance of starred Trolls and increases the maximum number of spawned Trolls (from 1 to 2). All Trolls are also automatically on alert.''

[modern kraken]

thanks for letting me know

[viral cave]

Farming trolls and thus gold

[tiny zinc]

So i built a large tower, and now i come back the day after on the server, and every single part has gotten damaged. Is it cause it doesn't have a roof?

[true steeple]

Rain will damage wood pieces with no roof above them down to 50% health

[tiny zinc]

So i gotta make a roof, alright, thank you

[knotty jetty]

any way to kill my friends without them having pvp on?

thinking baiting an enemy but maybe theres an easier way

[unkempt spire]

tips for navigating with no map? how do I sail my way back home / travel the lands.

[viral cave]

Why, though?

[tired root]

Remember, wood floor doesn't count as roof, it needs to be the proper roof pieces.

[little zodiac]

puffer fish will slowly kill them

[knotty jetty]

fun

[knotty jetty]

with a harpoon?

[fathom badge]

Build a deep pit under a random floor piece, cover it with some rugs, and place some pufferfish in the bottom. Don't fall in it yourself.

[little zodiac]

just toss it on the ground it will poison them and slowly kill your friend

or what pitabred said works too

[knotty jetty]

oh i have to fish it up

i see

[little zodiac]

or hope it jumps on your boat

fish can do that

[viral cave]

Refined eitr, trollstav, and sledgehammers work as well. Wary the collateral damage, however.

And also don't do that unless your friend group enjoys that kind of trolling.

[tired root]

Hehe, trolling.

[little zodiac]

anyway to check logs without mods?

[lilac coyote]

Which logs?

[little zodiac]

like the logs printed in bepinex

i want to report something but i want to make sure i can report without mods being on first, i need to see the logs though so i can see if its just mods or not

[lilac coyote]

So the player log? Just click the show player log button on the main screen.

[little zodiac]

k ty~

[wicked dove]

might just be a idiot but ive seen youtubes unlock a hammer that does alot of aoe damage once they beat the 1st boss. for me i cant see where it is, i have the forge unlocked with the finewood upgrades

do i need to find another material?

[little zodiac]

iirc its the workbench

[tired root]

Technically you don't need to beat the first boss. The hammer requires deer trophies, scraps and corewood.

[little zodiac]

for the stagbreaker i assume your talking about

[wicked dove]

yeah thats it

where would i find core wood?

[little zodiac]

black forest

[tired root]

Black forest, pine trees.

[wicked dove]

ah thank you very much

[tired root]

You can cut them with stone axe.

[wicked dove]

cheers!

[real light]

Hi! Does anyone know how to produce coal using a torch?
I’ve seen players hitting wood piles with a torch, but when I try it, it just gives me the wood back — it doesn’t turn into coal.
Am I missing something? Thanks in advance!

[full mesa]

Have you guys experieced any of your wooden structures decaying even tho theres a roof

Is there like a limit for the roof keeping your tiles from decaying?

[clever juniper]

You need to be in the ashlands or have the fire hazards world modifier checked

[full mesa]

like if its built too high

[real light]

Oh! I see, ty!

[little zodiac]

it might be the wall pieces arent covered by the roof

[unkempt spire]

if afk box them in and smoke from fire

[knotty jetty]

Peak

My fav so far

[coarse lantern]

right so should i make a different boat? I don't really want to make something that costs more than a raft if its not at the very least faster

[little zodiac]

yes def make something other then the raft

all the boats are going to be upgrades for the most part

[tired root]

You definitely want to use other than raft.

[little zodiac]

more storage, faster, more durable

[coarse lantern]

wait storage?

[little zodiac]

yea theres a storage compartment on all the ships

[tired root]

All other than raft.

[little zodiac]

wasnt sure about the raft only used it once i thought it might have one slot on it

[tired root]

It doesn't have any slots.

[little zodiac]

fitting

[coarse lantern]

are fire or bronze arrows better?

atm considering making fire arrows for the elder

[tired root]

Fire, don't waste metal on arrows honestly.

[coarse lantern]

thats what i was thinking lol i find enough bronzeheads anyway

[tired root]

Some metal arrows can be found in next biome's dungeons.

You can definitely use them but it's waste to craft them by yourself.

[coarse lantern]

any tips for fighting elder? planning on fire arrowing him to death

his ranged move is a little annoying but you can tell where they'll hit for the most part

[tired root]

It's viable, take cover behind the pillars when he shoots.
