[frosty frost]

Welp, if you have taken care of the situation then its all good 😄

[tacit breach]

There is no visible reason for her to be blocked anyways.

[frosty frost]

Yep, thats why we were all confused 😄

[echo sparrow]

#screenshots message @plain yarrow the main way I've seen people deal with golems spawning too often annoying short of the effort of spawnproofing the area is to dig a hole and contrive to get the golem in the hole (if you don't have the harpoon maybe build a walkway for them to chase you over then demolish while they're on it)--they won't spawn again provided one's still alive in the "search" radius of whatever invisible point keeps checking to spawn them in

[tacit breach]

Just put down camp fires. Spawn proof the area. If you see where they came from, just put a camp fire there.

[plain yarrow]

Thanks

I'll do it by spawnproofing.
Don't want to terraform too severely so that my build can still enjoy some scenery.

[potent hatch]

why do i keep getting invalid placement on my spice rack?

either that or "need more space"

[short yew]

Why cant i place down a campfire in my tree house? Is there some other form of fire I can place higher up?

my houses top part also keeps losing durability super quickly? Im not sure why

[tacit breach]

Pretty sure we have to put fires on ground, or stone. Been doing this so long I don't always remember why I do things the way I do. 😄

[short yew]

I haven't played in years so I wouldn't know 😭

[tacit breach]

I'm pretty sure about it being the ground or stone, though.

So once you can get stone up there...

[frosty frost]

Invalid placement is probably because you are not close enough to cauldron or you are not hanging it from something. Need more space usually means that there are other cauldron upgrades close to spice rack, but i dont think that should be an issue since spice rack is the first one you get 🤔

[tacit breach]

Depends on what he is trying to hang it from. I recall having issues with that in the past, but again, I have been doing this for so long, I don't remember why I do things the way I do them. I just recall having an issue, so its likely why I always hang it from a straight beam.

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, the beam is really the only way to do it, it's an absolute faff to place

[fading pebble]

are we ever going to get a fix for the boar bug?

[frail cave]

what exactly is "the boar bug" 😅

[fading pebble]

you aggro a boar to tame it but it just tries to head back to its spawn point even after taming

[tacit breach]

No, just kill it and only keep its offspring.

[lilac coyote]

That's not a bug, that's intentional.

[short yew]

If i remember correctly that only happens with boars that spawn near the Boar stone or the boar-village spawn points

They'll always try and head back to their "origin" unlike other boar who will stay where they are tamed iirc

[tacit breach]

Besides, if you keep it in a good pen, its not going any where, even if you don't kill it.

[frail cave]

oh, no idea.
it's not impossible?
i vaguely remember that all tamed animals behaved that way originally, not just boar runestone boars, but there's a good chance i'm misremembering and it was always the way it is right now
atm i find it strange that only boars spawned from invisible spawners behave this way, not randomly spawned ones, like, how does the game distinguish between the two after they're tamed? they both remember their "anchor" point while untamed, but only one forgets it when tamed

[tacit breach]

Regardless, until then, if you absolutely, positively, want to ensure it never runs "home", you have to kill it.

So just create offspring, and ensure you get rid of the originals.

Or just make a solid pen for it, and hope that never gets destroyed.

[frail cave]

i've had them clip through walls to get back to their spawn point before haha

[tacit breach]

I don't know if that ever happened to me.

[jade olive]

It can be done but it is very hard to place. Hard way is you can some times attach it to a branch. Or You can attach a stone to the core of the tree and make supports off that and put the fire on that.

[tacit breach]

As far as I recall, you can never place a fire on wood. Has to be ground or stone, directly.

[jade olive]

I have never come across a pig wanting to come home ever so far. But I question is it a night time pig? Maybe acting like a night time wolf that want to run away and DE spawn could that be a factor?

[tacit breach]

When you capture a pig, even after tamed, they will want to go to where they were originally. Unless they never escape.

[lilac coyote]

The great thing about evidence is that just because you haven't experienced something doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

[jade olive]

Nope you can in the swamp and place it on a branch and with supports or like I said stone off the core of the tree. I have this in all my builds that I have done high up.

[tacit breach]

I can see ancient trees being an exception, but oaks?

[jade olive]

Ahh that why I said so far good sir never discounted but yet not seen by my eyes yet but I am courious.

[frosty frost]

All trees count as "ground" for stability purposes 🙂

[jade olive]

yeah sure can

[frosty frost]

So yep, campfires like that

[tacit breach]

So that would include fires?

[jade olive]

camp fires hearths

[tacit breach]

OK , only thought about it in terms of building materials, but if that includes campfires, great.

[frosty frost]

You can even see people using pines for incredibly tall builds 😄

[frail cave]

there is no unique boar spawn attempt for nighttime
the difference here is between boars that spawned randomly and ones that spawned from invisible spawners (boar runestone or abandoned village)
i don't think there are any wolf or lox invisible spawners so such behaviour should never occur with them, wolves trying to despawn at dawn is a completely different thing in behaviour and cause

[tacit breach]

Yeah, I have seen them used for higher builds, just never seen fires being used on them.

[old elbow]

my tombstone just disappeared , guess i just have to accept my fate , my back up was so far behind that it was no use to go back.. on a dedicated server

[spring frigate]

What would've be more beneficial for me? Getting most op weapons of x biom Vs only swords?

[jade olive]

Interesting. I have boars from both and haven't come across this before, yet. Maybe this is something new added?

[lilac coyote]

If by new you mean about 4 years ago.

[frosty frost]

Entirely depends how you want to play 🙂 if you like swords, go for them, if you like to min-max, go for the most optimal weapon from the biome.

[frail cave]

yea this has been a problem for as long as i've played the game (about march of 2021)

[pure mango]

Do chickens not lay any eggs until you pick up the last ones they made? My chickens dont seem to.

[tacit breach]

Not close enough to a fire? You putting them down as singles?

[frosty frost]

The game checks for total number of hens, chickens, and eggs. If it has gone to the max limit they will stop laying them.

[old elbow]

i was on the ocean and my ship broke ,, there was no floating tombstone at the mark on the map

[tacit breach]

Oh, max in a 4 by 4 area is 7, I think. Around that.

[pure mango]

Hmm so have 5 hens right now, if I 'reconfigure' 2 of those hens, the 3 remaining ones might keep creating eggs even when I dont pick them up every day?

And if I give them more room then more eggs?

[jade olive]

Could you have gone to the wrong spot? Do you clean up your death markers after pickup?

[tacit breach]

Well, you still have to be "near by" until they are done eating and laying. I usually do 6 food, wait near by for about 15 minutes, then go about my business until they hatch and grow.

[pure mango]

I'm just harveting eggs at the moment, my crates overflow with chicken meat.

[frosty frost]

limit is 10 of the listed entities within 10 meters

[pure mango]

kk

[lilac coyote]

Did you rage quit out? You might have quit before the tombstone was generated.

[pure mango]

That makes sense with my 5 hens only create 5 eggs

5 + 5 = 10

[frosty frost]

Yep, so if you keep 3 they will lay up to 7

[tacit breach]

Yeah, its why I space my pairs out so much, and get around 70 eggs per "cycle". Sounds like I need to space them out even a little more.

[pure mango]

Nice, 2 of my hens will go to live on (another) farm

[mortal fable]

why my game looks like this

[viral cave]

That's how it's supposed to look

[old elbow]

i did not rage quit other players online as well , and i do clear some markers when i die and stuff is recovered ,, but i did not clear this one ofc ,, the tomb just fell off the map or what ever xd

[mortal fable]

grass looks to much blury

[tacit breach]

I forget what the tech term is for looking hazy, but its normal for your settings.

Play with your graphics settings, see if you get a better look for you.

[frail cave]

that's SSAO, ambient occlusion (well, may be a combination of SSAO and motion blur or something, though i'd assume grass doesn't move fast enough to get this blurred by motion blur so i doubt it's that)

can look a bit weird on grass, but 99% of the game looks better with SSAO on imo

[jade olive]

Just a silly question when you went back did you find your boat parts in the water?

[pure mango]

Nails sink
Everything else should float

[short yew]

how do I get stuff that has been dropped in relatively deep water?

[tacit breach]

Does your tombstone act as a despawner? Never left one long enough to find that out.

[short yew]

A troll died in a river and I cant get its gold by swimming

[stoic trench]

I don’t think they ever despawn as far as I know

[mortal fable]

without ssao it looks worse

[tacit breach]

Build a ladder over it, you should "dive" deep enough to get the hide.

[jade olive]

build up a few ladder steps and jump off you can pick them up after a few tries

[frosty frost]

Leather sinks too 🙂

[frail cave]

tempted to hop on to see what setting causes that myself because i don't have any good guesses.

[tacit breach]

Not the tombstone, items floating around it. I've had one in water for years now. Just nothing outside of it.

[short yew]

is this unluckily far?

[frosty frost]

Could be lot worse 😄

[tacit breach]

Yeah, I consider that close.

[frosty frost]

But also could be closer
-# Taking another look, thats plenty close

[tacit breach]

I've had them out far enough to border the green guys. Not fun when they come in.

[frosty frost]

I saw few seeds that had no elder altars closer than half the radius away 😄

[tacit breach]

That would be a bit too much even for me.

I think I had a world like that, I went in another direction and found one closer.

[short yew]

uh
uh another important question

are the mountains entirely white?

please tell me thats not the mountains

[lilac coyote]

That's Mountains, yes.

[tacit breach]

Mostly. Whitish, when its not snow.

[lilac coyote]

Looks like a really small patch though.

[tacit breach]

😄 That a baby mountain!

[short yew]

😨

[lilac coyote]

You can probably run through it without taking much damage.

[tacit breach]

Don't worry, you will find its parents.

Thats the smallest one I think I have ever seen.

[lilac coyote]

Things you never want to hear...

[tacit breach]

I've actually seen patches that small in the Mistlands, but I expect it there, with how the terrain is.

[short yew]

i think its really teeny tiny

[tacit breach]

For that biome area, it is. Like I said, smallest I have ever seen, let alone in one of my worlds. I usually get to run in the snow and start to freeze.

Do you even get the freeze effect?

[frail cave]

you would, yes, if your camera is within the biome borders of the mountain

[short yew]

I did

I saw a wolf as well which was really scary

[frail cave]

(the freezing effect comes from the weather, and weather depends on the position of your camera rather than your character, which can be exploited, albeit not for much)

[frosty frost]

-# That is new info to me 👀 good to know

[frail cave]

basically lakitu controls the weather

[tacit breach]

It spawned a wolf too? My tiny mountain next to my home base has never spawned a wolf, and it is likely 20 times bigger!

Next your going to tell be there was obsidian.

[stoic trench]

Potential early friend 👀

[short yew]

from my guesstimates thats around how bit it is

[tacit breach]

Yeah, my wife has made me help her do that. She did all the dying, though.

[short yew]

How do I destroy evil bone piles?

[frosty frost]

You hit them enough 🙂

[tacit breach]

Quickly. I'm usually using a club.

[short yew]

thank you Drake Puncher

[frail cave]

some weapons swing over them so it's a bit finicky

[frosty frost]

Spear for example

With that you have to use secondary attack to get them

[short yew]

I died in the burial chamber

[tacit breach]

Not surprising.

[short yew]

should've left with the one surtling core :(

[tacit breach]

I try to not even go in one until I have stagbreaker, but I hate dying, so am willing to wait.

[frosty frost]

Stagbreaker is quite useful for hitting enemies through walls which is nice 😄

[short yew]

it was a 1 star skeleton that killed me :(

[tacit breach]

There is worse.

[true steeple]

Now is a good time to try rolling, it gives you invincibility from most enemy attacks

[tacit breach]

The worst glows green and has 2 stars.

[short yew]

yuck

have i been adopted by valheim-help (since im basically a new born right now)

for context i last played in late 2021 early 2022 if i remember correctly

and i didn't even kill elder

[tacit breach]

We can be a helpful bunch, yes.

[short yew]

who would've thought that valheim-help would be helpful XD

[frosty frost]

When we want to xD

[short yew]

Do graves despawn?

[frosty frost]

Nope

[short yew]

thats good, i was worried that my stuff would despawn as all my honey

[tacit breach]

No, but you can empty them to make them disappear. On your map you can erase them.

[short yew]

is on my body

[tacit breach]

The one in game goes away if you empty it.

Depending on where I die, I sometimes leave things in it.

[short yew]

i was real real wrong

fuller photo for context in the final image

[frosty frost]

Its still quite small 😄

[tacit breach]

Yeah, might even be bigger than the one next to my current main base.

[short yew]

died again :(

[true steeple]

In the burial chamber again?

[tacit breach]

I am starting to think people do not watch the Valheim videos IG made. Dying is a feature of the game.

[short yew]

yeah outsode

[short yew]

oh no it 100% is, i died like six times making my base

[true steeple]

While you’re outside jumping is the best way to avoid damage, it’s better than rolling whenever possible (so not against larger attacks such as from a troll)

[frosty frost]

Tho you need more skill for that than for rolling 🙂

[short yew]

what should I make first? a smelter or a charcoal kiln?

I only have 5 cores at the moment (I thought I needed one per thing! Boy I waas wrong)

[frosty frost]

Kiln, stock up on some coal 🙂

Then you can take it apart and use the same materials to make smelter

[short yew]

ooh thats smarter then what I was gonna do! (burn a bunch of neck tails)

[true steeple]

Why neck tails

[short yew]

Cause necks spawn alll over my base and they're the easiest food for me to get! (ive got 2 stacks of em already)

[tacit breach]

Also what I stock up to feed, um, never mind, possible spoiler.

[short yew]

feed ?

[frosty frost]

You will see 😉

[short yew]

I know about Lox and duegar (im not sure about the spelling) and wolves and the such

[frosty frost]

Draugr?

[short yew]

No the dwarves

[frosty frost]

Ah, Dvergr 😄

[short yew]

Dvevgr? something like that

Draugr are those zombie things in the swamp, I keep spelling em duegar because thats how DND spells "deep dwarves" haha

[tacit breach]

Yeah, I call Dvergr Druegar because of that. Short, strange skin color, etc...

[short yew]

Is a moat filled with water still effective?

since my base is so close to the water, any where I dig is watery

[tacit breach]

Yeah, its still effective.

[short yew]

is the AI smart enough to swim around barriers?

[tacit breach]

It is. Boars have been attacking my boat despite being well away from the "ends" of my walls, etc...

[frosty frost]

If i has reason to, yes

[tacit breach]

They have been going around during raids too.

[short yew]

so do I need to make a full circle around the water portion of my base??

[tacit breach]

I eventually just put up a stone wall. My boat is just a necessary potential sacrifice.

[frosty frost]

You can just make the walls tall enough and going far into the water enough that enemies dont see anything they want to attack over them. that way they have no reason to swim and go around them.

[tacit breach]

Tell that to the boars, etc... my walls are already too high for them to see over, or around. They still go around. Not often, but often enough I have to look for it.

[short yew]

does decoration help you?

[true steeple]

Furniture pieces can increase your comfort level when resting for a longer rested effect

[short yew]

why am i vigorously shaking

[true steeple]

You're probably stuck against the bed while sitting?

[short yew]

probably
it did scare me when i sat down

i thought a raid or something had started haha

Embed failure 😔

[tacit breach]

A carpet helps, the fires to, camp then hearth, probably a few other things. Full list is on the wiki. Like Maypoles and Christmas tree, which are seasonal only.

[short yew]

https://tenor.com/view/impending-doom-impending-doom-approaches-impending-doom-approaches-terraria-moon-lord-terraria-gif-3912216512051763144

[short yew]

yayyy

[short yew]

WHAT ARE GHOSTS

[tacit breach]

Ummmm... ghosts. Wait until you meet their bigger cousins...

[short yew]

THEY GET BIGGER?

[short yew]

THEY GET BIGGER?

[tacit breach]

Do you want more spoilers?

[short yew]

yeah i dont care for spoilers
Im currently finishing up this section of the wall (im terrified)

If the durability of buildings get low enough do they get destroyed???

like through natural decay??

[leaden thunder]

water damages wood buildings if they are not under a roof but they decay until about half health, after that they stop

terrain modified using a hoe doesnt have durability so your walls are indestructible

[tacit breach]

Yeah, raised dirt is the best defense you can do. You can later improve looks with later materials. Later you can dig ditches, but with those walls, you won't need them.

Just make sure they are very straight on the outside. Amazing what can climb even the most minor of slopes...

[worn barn]

I find critters in places they have no business being in all the time.

[short yew]

is this straight enough?

[tacit breach]

Oh, you do have picks, Yes, well done.

Only fliers will be able to get inside your walls now.

[drowsy crane]

Disabling raids is far better than massive ugly terrain walls that break the enemies.

I'd recommend looking into world modifiers. 👍

[short yew]

wal

[leaden thunder]

disabling raids also makes you actually have to run around a mountain finding wolves instead of just popping bonemass and killing all 30 of them

[short yew]

personally i like raids
the challenge is cool

[leaden thunder]

very fast way of getting your first 60 pelts and meat

[short yew]

not to say im above making things easier for myself

[drowsy crane]

So why are you sidestepping them completely with terrain walls 😛

[short yew]

I like the challenge i dont like suffering (trolls)

[drowsy crane]

Trolls will only attack gates if they have no line of sight on you

It will operate the exact same way.

[short yew]

well i like the walls

[drowsy crane]

Well you best build them higher if you don't want trolls throwing rocks up at your raised building while you're in it.

They can easily see over those with that line of sight.

[tacit breach]

You can always go outside your walls when your ready to melee whatever is out there. No need to die or deal with rebuilding things when your willing to put up walls, of any kind, to keep things out. Its what we use walls for in real life. To keep things out. Why not in a game? Its sound tactical judgement.

[drowsy crane]

Sounds to me like a challenge to them = something they can easily overcome without much learning.

[tacit breach]

Well, he is playing his game. How about you play just your own? He wants advice, not to be told how to play.

[drowsy crane]

A bit ironic to say that whilst telling me how to give my own type of advice, you can just give your own advice as well, I never asked for help.

[tacit breach]

Good for you. Hope you never need any. He asked for advice, not to be told what to do or not do within his own game world. He wants walls, he can have them. Whatever way he wants to make them. Not which ones you approve of.

[drowsy crane]

Right, I advised him to build them higher, or to adjust the modifiers if the raids are a problem, no need to get upset.

[tacit breach]

You have complained about people building raised earth walls every single time I have seen you comment about them. You obviously have the problem. Leave people alone, if all your going to do is complain about what walls they use. Stick to actual advice.

[short yew]

oh uh these are as high as the game is letting be build

[drowsy crane]

People are definitely allowed to have an opinion about things, public discussions are just going to go that way. I advise you to take that into account.

[drowsy crane]

You can build regular walls far higher, or even just build walls on top of the terrain walls.

[tacit breach]

When you go from opinion to telling them to not use them and to change settings in order to avoid using said walls.... yeah, you have the problem, not them. Let people play how they want.

[drowsy crane]

I never told anyone anything, no need to twist what I'd said, I mentioned I think they're ugly and that disabling raids is better if that's the issue. I also mentioned they might be sidestepping raids with terrain walls if they enjoy the challenge. Pulling out your own conclusions to what I'm saying is likely where the confusion started.

[tacit breach]

Thats criticizing, but thankfully I don't have to listen to you any more than you have to listen to me.

[drowsy crane]

You really don't so I'm not sure why you're so worked up and looking to attack me.

Go about things exactly as you would, and I'll do the same.

[worn barn]

🍿

[frail cave]

As someone who has terrain walls on 1 base and not going to use them on new base id say I like them, and they dont completely negate raids and trolls dont throw rocks over them, the raid happens outside ur walls and u still can go outside and fight the mobs while also having ur house safe at the same time, dvger spikes are what we are going to use in next base to make it look cleaner, also side note troll raids after few and far between and you'll pass that stage faster than you think so you wont go thru many of them anyway, personally I like both terrain walls and mote and no walls and still mote lol

[short yew]

that was my thought process
i spent a lot of time on my house and i really really don't want it to be destroyed, I have a huge open area to fight the raid, i just don't want my building being obliterated

[drowsy crane]

Trolls will throw rocks over them if they see you in the base above the walls.

[frail cave]

Never happend to me so no they wont they stare u and walk around like idiots

[frail cave]

Yeah do whatever you want

[drowsy crane]

Well, I've seen it happen more than once so it wasn't a rare thing.

[frail cave]

Build ur walls higher idk

[drowsy crane]

That's what I said to do.

[frail cave]

Ours arent even as tall as our house and they are tall enough

[drowsy crane]

Right, but when your base is passed the wall's height, and has a open wall concept, they can just see you and target you.

Otherwise they will try to path to you until they have line of sight.

[frail cave]

Ive stood on my roof and on the ground as the trolls look at me and walk around like idiots as I shoot em with bow

[drowsy crane]

Yeah they don't have line of sight, the line of sight isn't exactly precise, but it will allow them to see you in certain elevations.

I would assume the check happens from the middle of their bodies, not necessarily their head, allowing for some angle abuse.

[short yew]

how to frost mead

i see wolves in my mini mini mini mountain biome i want them

i need frost mead now i want these things so bad

[drowsy crane]

Get yourself a fermenter, and some choice ingredients from the swamp. (Honey x10, Thistle x5, Bloodbag x2, Greydwarf eye x1)

[short yew]

SWAMP???

[drowsy crane]

Looks like you've got some adventuring to do

[short yew]

aughghgh,,gh,gf,h i just got troll armor what do you MEAN ITS SWAMP TIME

I BARELY HAD ENOUGH BRONZE FOR AN AXE

[drowsy crane]

You don't have to rush it

[short yew]

but
but wolvf

[drowsy crane]

Take your time with it, wolves are abundant

[short yew]

upsetting

can i tame boars at least?

[drowsy crane]

If wolves are a driving factor that can be a good motivation anyways

[short yew]

how to tame boar

[drowsy crane]

You sure can

[leaden thunder]

kick it in a hole, wait for it to calm down

[frail cave]

raspberries, red mushrooms, carrots (+ some later biome stuff)

[drowsy crane]

Boars like berries and mushrooms, just don't let them see you

[leaden thunder]

feed it some berries and you HAVE to be near them while theyre taming

the taming process takes like half an hour if not disturbed, from my experience

[drowsy crane]

You can also build a nice little taming pen with a little door, just lead them in and shut it.

[frail cave]

precisely, under perfect circumstances~
(food keeps an animal fed for 10 minutes, so if it is not distubred once, you could tame an animal with 3 pieces of food. i recommend using more of course)

[short yew]

aw man i NEED to be near them for the whole half hour??

[leaden thunder]

yes and you have to be silent

or rather, invisible to the boars

sitting quietly in your room boosts taming speed as well, its immersive

[drowsy crane]

Luckily once you've tamed 2, you can breed them and you won't need to tame another boar(unless they're attacked).

[short yew]

thank goodness gracious

[modest hollow]

so if we tame 2 boars how much hide can we get?

[short yew]

much i assume

[short yew]

can i like, have an army of boars that kill everything or is that a lox-wolf exclusive

[drowsy crane]

Essentially infinite if you have the food and time, the rate you acquire it will be more in question, as that can vary depending on the boar's pen size and if they're starred or not.

[modest hollow]

ok so for more yeild we can jsut increase the pen size right?

[drowsy crane]

Unfortunately they won't do much to be effective against later enemies, but it isn't impossible.

[drowsy crane]

It will help things along most definitely.

[leaden thunder]

i dont even know if lox work

for an army ofc

[drowsy crane]

Lox can be very vicious protectors, they're just a bit of a lumbering beast so they're easily outmatched by smaller enemies in a group.

[leaden thunder]

how well does an army of lox work for ashlands

[drowsy crane]

Unsure considering how difficult transport would be, but it's safe to assume not very well, as there's lava around and they're weak to fire damage.

[frail cave]

can't naturally spawn with stars, weak to fire, neutral to pierce...probably not well

[leaden thunder]

they cant have stars?

[frail cave]

not unless spawned with console commands

[leaden thunder]

meh

[drowsy crane]

But Ashlands does offer a solution to all of those concerns thankfully.

[leaden thunder]

ah yes, asksvin

[jade olive]

Can the extra chests from Hildir quests be put on display in your builds?

[wicked sierra]

On an item stand likely yes

[frail cave]

yes

[short yew]

im scared

[drowsy crane]

Don't panic, it's all part of the journey!

[frail cave]

Never be afraid, unless ur ship ends up in the ashlands and breaks under neath u and u end up swimming in fire water and have to get stranded on a spikey rock and ur portal dont let u go thru and u have to keep re building ur ship and going on rocks to escape barely with your life

I have a bridge that I made clearance for so my Karve could fit through it. Sadly, it looks like the top of the mast won't clear it. Does the top of the mast have unit collision? Wanted to ask here before I trash it and have to start over

[drowsy crane]

The collision of the mast is as it looks precisely, it's a long standing difficult thing to make a bridge you can pass under effectively, especially because other boats only get bigger.

[regal wedge]

tragic. I was only going to use the Karve for this specifically. Guess I'll need to redesign the bridge if I want to put a karve through it. I appreciate the confirmation

I just got finished putting a cart in the karve so if I sunk it, I'd have to put that back on and that was a miserable time

[drowsy crane]

If you're able to use stone, it should be possible, but the scaling and foundation work can be tricky and tedious.

[regal wedge]

No stone yet sadly. It's corewood poles or bust I think there's only 1 way I can make that work

It'll have a 4m wide and 8m tall hole which should just barely allow for passage

[short yew]

wait how many ancient seeds do i need

[regal wedge]

2 I thought?

[drowsy crane]

I have seen some utilize the hoe to raise a single piece of land for planting a tree in the middle of a river, which can be handy to build off of.

[frail cave]

3

[regal wedge]

ye 3

It's definitely gonna be a tight fit and if the water is bobbing up and down, I can forget about it

So much work to not have to back and forth tons of ore

[short yew]

i made it and now im scared
is 300 fire arrows enough

[drowsy crane]

That's a good call imo, it will become an easier task as you progress as well, so maybe just something to work towards and ponder.

[frail cave]

No

Maybe i cant remember lol Its been a long time since I fought elder

[drowsy crane]

It's hard to say, the amount of arrows doesn't equal general success, if you're asking if it's enough to kill things then yes.

[short yew]

i have a sneaking suspicion i shouldn't trust alice

[tired root]

300 is more than enough tbh.

[drowsy crane]

Oh they're fighting the Elder, it will be enough.

[short yew]

elder time

[frail cave]

What else are u using fire arrows on

[drowsy crane]

You might need a place to repair your bow if you haven't upgraded/packed extras.

[frail cave]

That u need 3 ancient seeds for

[drowsy crane]

🤷‍♂️ last I heard they were going to the swamp.

Fire arrows do damage to everything, not exactly indicative.

[frail cave]

^^

[drowsy crane]

Again, they could just be asking while collecting them, not exactly indicative.

[short yew]

well i need to kill the elder to schwamp right??

[drowsy crane]

You don't need to but it will be a good help.

[frail cave]

Bruh I barely read anything and I put it together lol deduction is one of my hobbies

[drowsy crane]

Here's your medal champ.

[frail cave]

You dont need to kill anyone to get to new biome but to progress the story properly and get new craft recipes yes

[short yew]

i have never been so greatful for this pause menu i am TWO inches from being launched into the stratosphere by this freaky little tentacle branch thing

[regal wedge]

The elder was definitely a big step up from Deer god but I recall it being fairly easy with fire arrows and just using the poles for cover and dodging

[short yew]

wont the poles break???

[frail cave]

No

[drowsy crane]

It might sound odd, but ignore the adds 😆

[regal wedge]

Parts of the alter can't break

[frail cave]

Same I barely remember the fight at all

[short yew]

i have such a mish-mash of knowledge i know the boar migration patterns but I dont remember whats indestructable or not

[strong cape]

eik is a pushover compared to trolls and elder

[regal wedge]

Yeah Eik does a great job of making new players say "that's cool im gonna keep playing this game" without crushing their spirit

He's the perfect hook boss

[drowsy crane]

Yeah, when people suggest starred versions of the bosses to return to, I always envision a Super Eikthyr for some reason.

[frail cave]

A 2* yagluth, no thanks

[regal wedge]

A showdown with a 2 or even uniquely 3 star eikthyr would be magical

[short yew]

please tell me this thing can die

its barely half health

[drowsy crane]

You got this, it can die, I believe

[short yew]

I BELIEVE????

[drowsy crane]

in you

[regal wedge]

Tree guy? Yea its just a war of attrition. Get the best rested buff you can and let him burn while you stay evasive

[strong cape]

keep up the damage, its slowly regens

[frail cave]

Yeah basic stuff

[short yew]

i need like an emotional support lobster or something rn

[finite yoke]

If it bleeds, it can die

[regal wedge]

Elder does a great job at testing your patience and your fundamental understanding of the game up to that point.

[strong cape]

after the trouble I had with elder when I finally got to bonemass and heard about all the cheese strats people used, I just killed him with an iron mace and was like "thats it?"

[short yew]

its at a third.

Odin chose you for a reason, end that evil tree.

[regal wedge]

🔥 🌲 🔥

[short yew]

im at 9 health. do i succeed? its at like, an 8th health

[regal wedge]

First time I beat elder was like that. I lived with low double digit or high single digit health

[short yew]

I WIN

MY RESTED BUFF WAS AT LIKE 30 SECONDS LEFT

[frail cave]

W

[strong cape]

I died and had to come back my first time, I neglected to kill the nearby spawners

[frail cave]

Same cuz i was eating stam foods vs health foods

[drowsy crane]

First try props ✊

[frail cave]

I just kept going back get my stuff and kept doing going

[regal wedge]

Nice!!! If you try to kill him again, i recommend using campires too. Free hazards for him

[frail cave]

Even if u die during boss fight if u get back to ur stuff before it re gains health u can just continue ur fight

[short yew]

guys be honest. am i fucked?

[frail cave]

Wait till u meet a 2 star troll

[strong cape]

how did you go from elder to two trolls so fast?!?!?

[short yew]

running away from elder to my boat

[drowsy crane]

"you hurt tree daddy"

[strong cape]

just keep shooting them in the face

[regal wedge]

Ur not cooked but its gonna be a lot of broken trees when ur done

[short yew]

the only food i have left is stamina food

[regal wedge]

All the better to run with

[short yew]

do i fight or do i run

[strong cape]

use your power

[frail cave]

Run

[drowsy crane]

The troll gear should let you ditch them on foot, just get away and hide in a bush

[regal wedge]

Ye no need to fight

They get hung up in the trees pretty easy

[short yew]

alright im praying i dont get a rock chucked at my cranium

[strong cape]

serpentine

[short yew]

ah, thats why theres many trolls
theres 2 troll caves, right next to eachother

[regal wedge]

I dont know if tree wielding trolls throw rocks. Never seen one i dont think. I usually get up in their crotch and roll a bunch

[short yew]

Lost the trolls, now ive got enough graydwarves to overthrow the government

[frail cave]

I like getting armies to chase me

[regal wedge]

You got the big deer hammer. They'll be a bunch of Grey twigs

[short yew]

i couldn't resist the alure of more surtling cores im sorry everyone its burrial chamber

[frail cave]

You gotta find a surtling spawner and fill ur inventory with like 15 stacks of cores

[short yew]

HOW DO I KILL THESE THINGS

[strong cape]

close the door and smash with hammer

[frail cave]

You don't

[lapis terrace]

you don't kill them? 🤔

[short yew]

ive given up on labeling things i find

[lapis terrace]

just slap them a few times

[frail cave]

I was making a joke

[short yew]

i went from writing "burial chamber" to "burial" to "thing" to "b"

[lapis terrace]

remember jokes translates very poorly over keyboard and monitors 😄

[frail cave]

Thats what makes it better

[lapis terrace]

hence the "no trolling rule" is a thing 😅

[frail cave]

Well you gotta be able to make jokes or else chat gets boring

Also while you are here smiffe

[short yew]

WHY IS IT GREEN

AW FUCK I DIED WHY WAS IT GREEN I HAD 20 SURTLING CORES IN ME 😭

[frail cave]

You are supposed to make a more optimized game thats exactly the same as current one just able to host around idk 100 - 1000 players so I can do a civilization simulation experiment video

Oh and u can make it double the price @lapis terrace

[frail cave]

They are a bit beefier than normal skellies

[jade rapids]

Now you know that those are more dangerous then others.

[lapis terrace]

because it's poisonous

[short yew]

thats it im crashing out

what the hell is this thing

[strong cape]

go check it out

[short yew]

UUUGHHHH time to make a raft to slowly make my way over

[strong cape]

raft? do you not have bronze?

[short yew]

I died

in a burial chamber to a green fuck so now i gotta make my way over slowly with a raft because my karve is parked in the next universe

[wicked sierra]

Blob? Do you not have poison resistance?

[wicked sierra]

Something real fun

[short yew]

rancid green fuck merked my ass

[strong cape]

note on that, get poison resistence soon

[wicked sierra]

Oh rancid remains

Its pretty easy to deal with if you know how to block

Just a buffed skeleton

[short yew]

he suprised me from behind a door, there were 2 evil bone piles there and a hoard of those boney mfs

im so miffed right now

[lapis terrace]

skeletons don't like a baseball bat to the face

just saying 🤔

[short yew]

why is this thing just,,, floating

IS THAT A PLAISN

trader and plains...

[drowsy crane]

Lucky find tbh, you've got a safe haven near a difficult to enter biome.

[short yew]

THIS 1 STAR FUELING GOT ME DOWN TO 6HP IN ONE HIT WHILE BLOCKING

NAWWW im logging off ive been playing for like 8 hours straight

DWAG I WAS AT 80 HOURS OR SO WHAT THE HEAEL

[wicked sierra]

hah

[lapis terrace]

your clothes doesn't seem to fit into that biome 😄

fulings are... strong...

[wicked sierra]

oh I see a troll hide armor, better have mininum silver armor

adn they still slaughter but

[short yew]

That’s like 3 minutes away from my elder arena

[wicked sierra]

Yeah for me under that

[lapis terrace]

well. usually a shield helps alot

[winged patio]

Do automatic boar farms still work? I haven't played ever since last year and after bog witch update my boars just refuse to eat food

[tired root]

It's finicky, you need to place the foods very close to the wall your boars peek from.

Btw nice name, got reminded by the "Chris P. Bacon" clip.

[lapis terrace]

I think they still work 🤔

[pure mango]

IdiotBacon is a brutal name for a boar 😅

[slate prairie]

Does anyone know if theres a Mod to stop players from world transferring resources on a server?

[wicked sierra]

If you don't want it just tell them not to

And if they do kick them and if they do again ban em

But I don't think theres a mod for that

[frosty frost]

Also not sure, but folks in #mods-discussion might know.

[midnight saffron]

Hi, what's the current go to mods page? still nexus?

[wicked sierra]

Wym mods page?

#mods-discussion the right channel for this asw

But yeah wym by a mods page?

Like a list of mods to whatever

[midnight saffron]

I mean nexusmods, or something else
it's been a while since I played, maybe people moved somewhere (esp since there's something called thunderstore as well when googling)

[wicked sierra]

There may be a mod that locks players to worlds but

[wicked sierra]

Thunderstore is the go-to mod manager

[midnight saffron]

great, thank you!

[cursive trench]

Hello 👋 ,

I wanted to start a new playthrough after 4 years, considering all the new updates. However, I’m experiencing huge lags/freezes that last a few seconds every 2 minutes, whereas I didn’t have this issue at all 4 years ago. Yet, I’m still using the same PC as back then, and it’s working perfectly fine.

I’ve tried many things to fix it: uninstalling and reinstalling the game, lowering all graphics settings to the minimum, and even adding optimization mods. However, nothing seems to work — I still have the same problem.

Has anyone else experienced this issue and/or knows how to fix it, please?

[regal wedge]

I find it odd that I've found Black Forest and Mountains but have never ever seen a swamp biome. Is there like a trick about how those spawn that will help me find them or is it just keep looking?

[frosty frost]

Usually you need to sail a bit for swamps 🙂 having them on your starter island is somewhat rare

[regal wedge]

Do they tend to spawn more in a specific direction or is it pure random generation?

[frosty frost]

Any direction

Only 2 biomes are direction specific and they are the last 2 ones in progression

[regal wedge]

Tragic. Guess I'll just let it happen organically then

gives me an excuse to spend more time on a boat ⛵

[frosty frost]

Yep, if you like sailing you will have a good time 😄

[regal wedge]

First bit of Iron I get is going to iron nails. I always need a bigger boat

[frosty frost]

Exactly

[tacit breach]

Have you tried the FPS video pinned here?

[cursive trench]

No, I'll go see it now

[strong cape]

wow at what point does this video shift from "here is how to make windows not suck as a gaming platform" to "here are actual settings in valheim and how much they effect fps"

4.5 minutes or 40% of the way into the video.....

[tacit breach]

All of it relates to performance. It can help a lot with all games. Ido think he gets specifically to Valheim. Been 4 years or so since I watched it.

[keen hound]

hey fellas, I started a no map world but changed my mind partway through. I had already engaged with hildur before enabling the map and now there are no pins for her quests on my map. any known fixes?

[frosty frost]

Go back to her and click on table again. 🙂

[narrow lodge]

is there a way to spawn a dungeon? i have a build in mind but i cant find any dungeon in a place i need it to be

[frosty frost]

Not sure, could be, what kind of dungeon do you have in mind?

[narrow lodge]

one of em skeleton crypts the first ones you encounter

[frail cave]

there are 3 different kinds and i can't remember which one corresponds to which ID 😅

[frosty frost]

Fully above ground is Crypt2, the one going underground is Crypt3 and the one in round hill is Crypt4

[frail cave]

so it'd be location Crypt(number) SAVE
keep in mind that while the crypt spawns at the same height as your player, its horizontal position is harder to control, i believe they always center on the chunk you spawn them in, and you can't undo or remove spawned locations

(entering the command without "SAVE" disables saving entirely until you restart the world or use the location command again with "SAVE", doing so doesn't immediately save, it just doesn't halt the saving feature)

[frosty frost]

You can use "location <id> SAVE" command to spawn them and keep them in your world (as Winter said when i was typing this out xD), but i would go experiment for a bit in another world since the placements can be quite finicky and not consistent, so a bit of practice somewhere else where you dont risk ruining the save with indestructible structure will be a good idea.

[narrow lodge]

thank yall so much!

[cursive trench]

I watched the video and made all the changes, but it didn’t change anythin. I still have those huge lags/freezes.

[tacit breach]

Put in a ticket via I think it is called mod mail over to the right, if you are on a PC. I am not seeing any of that on my phone.

[frail cave]

a modmail ticket for performance help? i'm not sure if the moderation team is the best help for that 😅

[frosty frost]

Putting this in #steam-bugs-discussion might be better idea 😄

[tacit breach]

They can pass it on to Smiffe, etc...They know.

[cursive trench]

okk

[short yew]

okay so i found a swamp biome but the only issue is that its right next to a plains

i was able to do a mad dash in to take some black metal using the safe zone from this girl

[tawdry agate]

For some time now, I haven't been able to light a fire; it goes out every few seconds even though I'm under a roof and using wood.

It started happening to me at the spring event.
A friend created a world and the same thing happened to him.

[frail cave]

it looks like it's suffocating in its own smoke

[tawdry agate]

I have set up the bonfire outside without rain but it also goes out, it goes out when I get close to the bonfire.

if I move away a few meters it turns back on

[frail cave]

campfires can go out from rain or strong winds, in those cases they'll still release small, white clouds
if it isn't releasing small, white clouds as seen above, it's suffocating
(made a lil video a while back comparing some the different causes for fires going out #building-tips message)

in that case, it'll suffocate until the suffocating smoke particle despawns, then resume burning until the next smoke particle gets in way

[tacit breach]

A bonfire goes out just because you get close to it? Very odd. Those never go out, unless they run out of wood or are destroyed. At least in my experience. So something very strange is going on.

[frail cave]

you seem to be very close to water, so it's also possible (not saying this is the case) that waves may be peeking through the floor and temporarily extinguishing the fire outside.
however, the fire in the screenshot above is definitely just being snuffed out by smoke.

[fleet drum]

Is there a CMD ingame for commands? Like teleport to players and such?

[tawdry agate]

I'm entering the game for other captures, it happens to me with all the campfires and at any moment.

[frail cave]

i'm pretty sure bonfires are still affected by strong winds, just not rain

[short yew]

how can i fortify my base if its surrounded by water?

I like the way this looks but I don't want it destroyed

[drowsy crane]

Once you can utilize stone walls, you can easily build up an exterior wall that goes deep into water

[frail cave]

spikes

tho u need to replace em a lot the more stuff dies to them and u want 2 or 3 layers

[echo sparrow]

you mean like fortifying the approach from the water?

[manic gyro]

I think strong winds have the same effect as rain, in the case of the bonfire it should switch to its "low burning" state

[frail cave]

Normaly when u make terrain walls u dig a mote around it, u could raise the ground by the water and still do that and have the water flow into the mote (thats what my brother and I did) so that way ur not connected to the body of water and have that extra layer of protection

Its kinda hard to explain but it works

[tacit breach]

I've never seen them get even close to going out, and I have watched mine go through what I would think are the worst storms Valheim has to offer. Its right outside my front door, so I look at it frequently. However, your the expert who tests things like this, so I defer to you.

[drowsy crane]

Bonfires can be suffocated by walls/high winds just like campfires.

[frail cave]

just hopped on to test/confirm, it's as argusmagnus said.
they're affected by both rain and strong winds, but those conditions only lower the intensity of its fire. even in strong winds and rain, they don't go out completely (it doesn't look like a gradual thing either)

[drowsy crane]

If there's too many objects around it, the player standing near the bonfire can be enough to suffocate it as well.

[frail cave]

here's a bonfire still burning at 0% cover + 100% wind + thunderstorm weather.
-# but tbh i'm assuming agro meant regular campfires

[short yew]

(The mini-mountain still spawns wolves! no silver/obsidian though! I checked, and died several times checking)

[tacit breach]

At least it makes it easy for you to tame them, having them so close to home, etc...

[short yew]

I was actually able to lure a few wolves into a pit near the mountain (theres a small patch of meadows!)
I grabbed two of em! (Took me about 4 hours, with many deaths) however WOLVES AQUIRED!
(And therefore: PELTS!)

several cold deaths, several wolf deaths, several wolf fails, sanity gone

[tacit breach]

Yeah, it may dim, but I have never seen mine get close to going out. I do have it in a open area of my compound too. Its near my longship, and it guides me in on my return from whatever.

[viral cave]

#memes-and-clips would love this one lmao

[short yew]

However babies aquired, and swamp found that ISNT across the sea
my "spawn island" is HUGE

[tacit breach]

I am sure lessons learned will make future taming easier and safer for you.. 😄

[short yew]

more like spawn continent

[frail cave]

obsidian will be small rock formations on side of mtn and i do mean small its everywhere

[tacit breach]

Yeah, I call them continents, unless they are small, then I refer to them as islands, when talking to my wife.

[tacit breach]

I believe obsidian has a height requirement to be present, and his mountain is a baby,

[frail cave]

hmm

[tacit breach]

Kind of surprised he even had wolves. I don't. 🙁

[frail cave]

they do, yea. mountains that small are unlikely to be tall enough to have obsidian

wolves don't have an altitude requirement

[tacit breach]

Well, apparently, mine failed to meet whatever the requirement is. Haven't seen any, haven't heard any.

[frail cave]

they need a full chunk of mountain to be able to spawn, so that might've been holding them back

[tacit breach]

Mine is pretty small, His might be bigger. Not sure. The world is on my wife's laptop, so I have to wait for her to even enter the world.

[drowsy crane]

"Spawntinent" 🫣

[tacit breach]

Hmmm... a good word for referring to that continent. It ended up being one of the biggest I have ever played on for this play through. It even has the first 5 biomes, even if the plains is so small as to be easily missed. 4 of the bosses too.

[keen osprey]

is this a swamp dungeon? i tried swimming inside but nothing happened

[frail cave]

there's nothing down there, it's not a dungeon

[drowsy crane]

Just a remnant of the old viking society that were the draugr.

[keen osprey]

haha cool

[tacit breach]

Be careful, they often have a draugr in there, and they seem to be an elite more often than other locations. They can rarely get out, though. The stairs tend to be broken, so no path out for them.

[frosty frost]

They can have one time draugr elite spawn point, yep 🙂

[tacit breach]

Which usually means nothing, since they cannot path their way out most of the time, and they are so deep, you cannot recover anything when you kill them.

I do love it when I find them dry, swamp or mountains. A great mini base.

[frosty frost]

You cant really find them without water in swamps 🤔
In mountains on the other hand you cant find them with water 😄

[tacit breach]

Yeah, its rare to find them dry in a swamp. Its usually on a border with another biome in order to be dry.

[frail cave]

it's possible to get the swamp variant unflooded since PoI placement is decided before biome borders are finalized, but it's extremely rare

[tacit breach]

Yeah, I would estimate I have found 10 or so dry ones in a swamp. Usually on a border with the plains.

We found two in our current world, used one, but the other had a huge rock blocking the stairs, and neither of us wanted to break it down.

[frail cave]

I see swamps on plains and mountains all the time and ive never seen one drained before

And ive had the bog which fly past me on her broom before

[tacit breach]

You haven't even found them in the mountains? The large ones usually have at least one.

[frail cave]

well that one's a different PoI that just looks almost identical

[frail cave]

Nope

[tacit breach]

Building on top of them is great if you want a ready made deep basement.

[silk oar]

does anyone know what this mod is called?

[frail cave]

#mods-discussion or #mods-issues might know

[short yew]

how to hide from draugr answer fast please

[tacit breach]

I get as high up on ancient tree as I can, or up on crypts. There is no true hiding.

[short yew]

oh no

[tacit breach]

Yeah, even with a 50 sneak those bastards know I am there.

[viral cave]

Bow. They can't see you if they're dead.

[true steeple]

Dead draugr can’t find you

[tacit breach]

They do have to get rather close to see you though, so if you can maintain distance...

[visual tundra]

is anyone else having issues runing valheim plus?

[lilac coyote]

#mods-issues will probably have a better answer.

[visual tundra]

thank you 🙂

[alpine jungle]

Anyone else having issues running valheim plus using G-Portal services

The game will run fine with no mod, but services fail to launch running Valheim plus mod

[wicked sierra]

#mods-issues still

these chats are for vanilla stuff mostly

[serene cloud]

someone knows why my pterodactyl startup isn't working? I'm getting sometimes connection issues after adding -modifier portals casua

./valheim_server.x86_64 -nographics -batchmode -name "{{SERVER_NAME}}" -port {{SERVER_PORT}} -world "{{WORLD}}" -password "{{PASSWORD}}" -public {{PUBLIC_SERVER}} -saveinterval {{BACKUP_INTERVAL}} -backups {{BACKUP_COUNT}} -backupshort {{BACKUP_SHORTTIME}} -backuplong {{BACKUP_LONGTIME}} -modifier portals casual $( [[ {{ENABLE_CROSSPLAY}} -eq 1 ]] && echo " -crossplay ") > >(sed -uE "{{CONSOLE_FILTER}}") & trap "{{STOP}}" 15; wait $!

When I disabble crossplay the server tells me im on the wrong version and nothing happens in console

[jade olive]

Is there any way to find a lost spear that was thrown. I was trying it out and now I can't seam to locate it and I have been runing out trying to auto pick up. Will it despawn after 2 in game days if not picked up?

[viral cave]

Yep, 1 hour unless within range of a workbench

Look carefully for the sparkles, turn down vegetation in graphics settings

[jade olive]

And like that I finely found. Ok great I figured and was running out of time thank you

Vegetation doesn't turn down any more like it use to for me unless a setting change happend a few years ago. I was able to go way now and it was a much cleaner ground but not any more. Now when I do it maybe only 30% of the stuff disappears so there still things in the way.

[tired root]

Yeah vegetation doesn't go fully off anymore, there is always at least little amount.
Which spear was it? Fortunately spears are quite cheap as they cost much less metal than other weapon types.

[jade olive]

Ancient Bark Spear. Yeah that kind of sucks I liked it better when we could do it fully, but then again that was a big cheat in a way. But great when you just wanted to easy far mats.

[frail cave]

I like the ancient bark spear but that was the 1st and last spear I ever used, its cool and all but not all that useful tbh

[viral cave]

Flint spear > crude bow

[short yew]

How many poison resist meads should I make for my first visit to the swamp??

[cedar lodge]

since it's first visit i wouldn't hang out at night, so 2 meads for each visit would be sufficient (daytime lasts 2 meads and 1 minute) they can also work as a reliable "clock" > when the second one is nearing depletion it's time to retire to safer biomes for the night.. also adviceable to keep some at your home/outpost/spawn point in case of death

[short yew]

Okay, should I make a base at the edge of the swamp?

[cedar lodge]

having a portal/safe resting area in a meadows (or maybe black forest) on the border is a good idea (if you want to make a full operational base is up to you, not really needed)... maybe leave some space between your base/outpost and the biome border as some mobs can follow you outside the swamp for awile (eg meadows waters near a swamp can be leech infested as well)

[short yew]

guys i fucked up i accidentally afked without being paused

[cedar lodge]

😣 uh that's most likely death in a swamp... happened to me lots of times with alt-tabbing

[short yew]

no this was at my base. midway through me fixing it look at this 😭

[short yew]

I died to fall damage (skill issue) and i had to go to an event so i just, alt-tabbed and left, forgetting i didnt pause

swamp be foul!!! for why!!!

MY WOLLLVEESSSS D:

[cedar lodge]

oh that's unlucky! anyway you managed to tame wolves pre-swamps, that's not bad

[short yew]

back at it again (not as hard as i have my route + campfires set up alongside my hashtag freak pit filled with freaks

it took me FOUR hours the first time

cheers to two hours this time

decided to be as snug as a bug in a rug above my wolf pit

thankfully im JUST sneaky enough that im not disturbing them

important question if the wolves tame at different times do they start to kill eachother

cause one of these guys was dropped a minute or two later then the other 2

[true steeple]

They won’t attack each other

[cinder timber]

i realised that the worst enemy in the game is actually wind

i feel like it's doing it on purpose

[broken root]

Hi guys! I've just got a new PC and have Valheim world and character files that should be on the steam cloud. I've just launched it and it said unable to sync files, and if I do open the game, I might permanently lose everything. And I just built a mega base in the Ashlands so I really don't want to lose it. Any help would be much appreciated!

[tough hare]

You can always use http://valheim.kirilloid.ru/weather#1 if you want to know if it's a good time to sail or not.

[lapis terrace]

https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage

you can always login on your own steamcloud and download the files individually

download them and put them somewhere safe, like a backup folder or something

[cinder timber]

moder is far worse than i thought

[broken root]

Thank you so much! I do see all the files on there. Do I need to download both the .db and .fwl?

[frosty frost]

Those are the world files, yep 🙂

[lapis terrace]

yes both

[dark lichen]

Hey, unfortunately we have an urgent problem. Unfortunately, we can't get into a mine in the Mistlands because of a root. The bad thing is: it's the queen's mine. Unfortunately, we couldn't build around it either, because after the marble there is either more root, indestructible stone or a limit in depth. Probably a gamemaster would be the last resort, right? How could I get help quickly here?

[lapis terrace]

queens mine? 🤔

[frosty frost]

This is not what queens dungeon looks like tho

[dark lichen]

should be? 😮

[lapis terrace]

looks like a normal entrance swapped place with the queen marker

[frosty frost]

Yep

[lapis terrace]

since that's not how the queens entance look like at all

[frosty frost]

Should look something like this
-# spoilered just in case you want to find it yourself

[frosty frost]

How old is the world you are playing on?

[dark lichen]

Aaaand where should we go now? This is the only marker on the map 😄

[lapis terrace]

back to where you found the map marker and get a new one

sadly it's one of the issues playing longtime on a world, when we update the game

sometimes, locations move due to we adding things to the game

[dark lichen]

oh no. Since I have such helpful assistance (and since I, like you have noticed that I haven't played in a while): what triggered this marker?

[lapis terrace]

a vegvisir as always

[frosty frost]

Stone with red inscrptions in infested mine

[dark lichen]

That means we have to search through everything infested mine we visited about two years ago.

but its a solution. Thank you very much guys!

[lapis terrace]

there are cheats you can use to find them. but it's no fun 😄

better to get all that royal jelly and stuff that respawns in the dungeons

[tired root]

Ah yeah, 2 year old world has gotten new updates and you didn't go there yet, which means generating world with new content switched locations of POIs in unexplored areas.

[dark lichen]

Let's say I don't want to go through all the dungeons again because of this “bug.” What would be the appropriate cheat? 😬

[lapis terrace]

there is a cheat command that will temporarily mark the boss location

but you know. cheat once, then cheat alot 😄

[tired root]

It helps a lot if one makes it a habit to mark all dungeons and then x mark them after cleared, especially with infested mines due to them respawning jelly nodes and some of the mobs inside. So if you have the earlier dungeon marked on your map then it's easier to visit the vegvisir again.
But yeah, then there are cheats.

[frosty frost]

Or explore more for new dungeons 😄

[midnight saffron]

how does bedrock generation work atm? it's super uneven.

I'm mining around a copper deposit, but can't get the terrain to let me under the node

[lapis terrace]

just remove everything around it, when you can't dig anymore, just remove the copper node and it will eventually explode

[midnight saffron]

I know how to do it, but the 'when you can't dig anymore' part is very uneven. I reach water level on one side, on the other it feels like copper is clipping into the undiggable part

[frosty frost]

You can modify the ground up to 8m up and down, so if you dig large area as far as you can it will copy the original surface

And yes copper almost always generates with part of it below the max dig limit

[midnight saffron]

ok, ty

[serene cloud]

how should i change my startup command to add portals casual modifier?

./valheim_server.x86_64 -nographics -batchmode -name "{{SERVER_NAME}}" -port {{SERVER_PORT}} -world "{{WORLD}}" -password "{{PASSWORD}}" -public {{PUBLIC_SERVER}} -saveinterval {{BACKUP_INTERVAL}} -backups {{BACKUP_COUNT}} -backupshort {{BACKUP_SHORTTIME}} -backuplong {{BACKUP_LONGTIME}} $( [[ {{ENABLE_CROSSPLAY}} -eq 1 ]] && echo " -crossplay ") > >(sed -uE "{{CONSOLE_FILTER}}") & trap "{{STOP}}" 15; wait $!

or how can i change the portals modifier on dedicated server?

[old laurel]

So, I got a weird problem. I play this game alot, like a helluva lot. Love it to death, but lately it's been giving my pc hell. This hasn't happened before but after about 30 minutes of Valheim my pc gets hot to the touch, starts lagging, then turns itself off. ONLY ON VALHEIM, and I have no idea why. I turned all the fancy lighting effects off too, didn't help. Tried launching it with Vulkan instead, nothin. Any ideas?

[lapis terrace]

remove dust

make sure the PC or laptop have descent ventilation posibilities

[trim meadow]

someone help me get my bag lol? i used all my boats and the resorces are killing me tryna get it back

[lapis terrace]

best place to ask is in #dedicated-server 🙂

[old laurel]

SWEET LIBERTY IT'S GRAY

Begs the question as to why no other games are affected tho, Helldivers runs fine. And on higher graphics settings

[serene cloud]

thanks, now I know but Im having a issue. today after joining the server all my doors says no access

any idea how to disable it?

[true steeple]

The only reason doors could be doing that is if another player placed a ward nearby

[serene cloud]

damn, my friend placed it xD

how can i remove it?

[true steeple]

Break it with a weapon

[lapis terrace]

you can't... not without destrying the ward

or ask your friend to disable it, then you interact with it with E button, so you sign your name on it. then you can use doors, chests etc

[serene cloud]

thanks for help, I just breaked it

[midnight saffron]

um, any ideas how to guess where the important parts are? I don't want to clear each part and fall down afterwards

[frosty frost]

Ones closest to ground or sides

[fiery frigate]

How common are trolls?

[midnight saffron]

Nothing I can realistically reach from the bottom... Will do the sides then, but it's the first time it didn't work when I removed all visible connections

[patent arrow]

in the forest biome...fairly. but obvious due to size

[frosty frost]

They can be quite sneaky sometimes tho 😄

[wooden nova]

How do i make the walls stop overlapping? Ive tried everything but they still clip into each other

And yet for some reason only this side of the wall works, no overlap or anything

Ive tried to recrate it but it still overlaps on any other side besides this one

[tired root]

Hence the sneak bonus from the set.

[frosty frost]

You can try using wooden door snap points so ofset them by 0.5 meters, they will be bit thicker tho

[wooden nova]

Thickness i care less about, thank you so much

I somehow never thought about using doors

[frosty frost]

Yeah they are really usefull since they have 3 snap points on each bottom corner 😄

[wooden nova]

The strangest thing about the side that doesnt overlap didnt need doors

It just naturally doesnt overlap

And is absurdly thin, probably some form of jank that is hard to replicate

[maiden mauve]

quick question, is there any way to allow transfer of ores by tinkering with the official game files?

[subtle parrot]

What exactly do you mean? You can just load up your characters inventory and take whatever you have to any world you join with that character

[maiden mauve]

like its not allowing me to teleport with certain stuff

forgot to mention the tp srry

[subtle parrot]

You can go to the world modifiers in the world selection and check the option for portal items

[maiden mauve]

doesnt have one for portal items :<

[subtle parrot]

I think it's an option, i haven't played in a little while so i may be remembering incorrectly, but it may be a slider option not a check option

I know I've used it before though

[maiden mauve]

i remember the last time i think i did something like "tp ores= true" or something but i cant find a fix for it now

[maiden mauve]

oh damn

[maiden mauve]

i found it, thank you very much <3

[viral cave]

[exotic hinge]

I got some specific questions regarding deconstruction; I've read conflicting accounts and wanted to double check with the Discord:

1. Does Deconstructing damaged buildings return less materials?
2. If so, does repairing them allow for full material return?
3. If so, could I repair a world-generated structure to full health to get more materials back when I dismantle it?

[tiny violet]

the answer to 1 is no

every deconstruction returns 100% of materials

the devs dont want you discouraged from re-making/re-building or up and moving base

[tacit breach]

Yeah, you only get less materials from game generated builds, not yours.

[exotic hinge]

Thanks, I tend to get obsessed over small details even if the loss is negligable

[tacit breach]

Game generated items, iirc, is around 1/3 to 1/2, depending on what the item is. Most are around 1/3 of what it costs us to build. The wood chests don't even give us the same number of slots in the first place, so at least seem to be a smaller version of what we even make.

[spring frigate]

do i miss something important before modera?

[exotic hinge]

Like preparing to fight the boss ModarModer? I'd bring a few more arrows in case you miss, at least the way I fight. Also, don't you have a better bow available you could craft?

Also, I don't think poison works on most bosses, maybe plain obsidian arrows would be more ideal, plus that other bow has inate poison damageNo, it can take poison damage, so either one works

[spring frigate]

Well ye ik darug fang could be crafted but id rather not bother with it

[exotic hinge]

Weak to fire, but I don't know if the lower general damage of fire arrows work out to be better than others

[manic gyro]

But obsidian would be the best arrows you can make at that stage

[frail cave]

poison works, it's just a terrible damage type in general, i would recommend obsidian arrows as well

[exotic hinge]

To each their own, You'll do just fine with the bow you have I'm sure, just pointing out any small optimizations

The only other thing I can think of is to bring a portal so you can evac if things get bad, but you may have game rules or personal preferences against that

Or already built one on site

[tacit breach]

I alternate between poison and obsidian myself, but the fastest way to beat any boss is via melee. Just she can fly so much...

[spring frigate]

Well that sounds like enough to me, time to roleplay dovahkiin

[frail cave]

-# well, on second thought, it depends on your bows level and accuracy.
-# poison arrows beat obsidian arrows IF your firerate/hitrate is so low that each arrow gets to finish ticking its damage before the next arrow hits.
-# but if you can hit faster than that, it's not worth waiting out the damage ticks and obsidian arrows end up being better

[tacit breach]

I also use the Eikthyr power here, to off set the stamina burn of just getting to her when she does land.

[exotic hinge]

So I would go Poison myself because I tend to space out my shots out of skill level

I had an idea for Forsaken powers where each Forsaken has a combat and utility version of the power. Modars would hypothetically be a boost to Archery by either discounting Stamina drain or some other balanced option

[tired root]

Seems good, make some obsidian arrows.

Frost mead doesn't do anything else tho, since you get resistance from gear already.

[spring frigate]

One they fear starts to play in background

[tacit breach]

The bow skill itself drops the stamina burn a lot on its own.

[exotic hinge]

That's true, I have to put a lot more thought into it for it to be a viable concept

[tacit breach]

Yeah, people complain about the skill as it is. Makes me often wonder if they have ever actually shot all those arrows to get there, or just used dev commands...

[exotic hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/princess-princessbride-castle-magic-gif-5156856

[exotic hinge]

I did use dev commands, but only to restore what I lost from deaths. I didn't realize later I could change skill loss with World Attributes

[frail cave]

hi, person who levelled bows to 100 before hearth & home without any use of devcommands here :>
it's not a slow-levelling skill like crossbows, nor is it super expensive thanks to wooden arrows

[tacit breach]

That option has only been around since 2023, still. I earn every one of my XP, so have zero problems with how good things get.

[manic gyro]

Yeah, if you use the bow regularly, it goes up pretty fast

[tired root]

Yeah, same done few times. Just make small platform on top of Bonemass altar and rapid shoot 1000 wooden arrows to gain lots of levels.

[spring frigate]

wow she called a back up XD

[exotic hinge]

You see, I thought I was just stupid, but that makes sense because I haven't played in a while and only started playing recently

[frail cave]

and it is undoubtedly the sharpest scaling skill in the game.
it has -33% stamina cost reduction like every other weapon skill, but it's effectively way more than that because you also take less time to draw arrows, thus spending less time consuming stamina.
and it's no less busted on the damage front, since the draw time reduction also boosts your firerate on top of the damage increase (which is also the same as every other weapon)

[tacit breach]

Yeah, that happens a lot. Worst I recall is 3 golems, and I forget how many wolves showed up.

[exotic hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/the-neverending-story-big-good-strong-hands-gif-11920474

[tired root]

At least wolves and golems fight each other.

[cedar lodge]

stone golems in the middle of fight are surely pain, but you halved Moder's health in 4 mins, that's nice

[tacit breach]

Yeah, looks like she landed early, and he got a lot of hits in on her.

[exotic hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/lord-of-the-rings-legolas-archery-arrow-sexy-gif-5749094

I'm allowed to post gifs in this channel right? I don't care if they embed or not, I just want to make sure I'm not breaking rules?

[frail cave]

https://tenor.com/view/lord-of-the-rings-legolas-archery-arrow-sexy-gif-5749094

[tacit breach]

Its not allowed for gifs, as it is for screenshots, for trouble shooting. So just don't abuse it.

[frail cave]

i think it's discouraged but not breaking any rules. can't speak for the less lenient staff members though

[exotic hinge]

I'll cap it off for today then

[tired root]

That was quick job, well done!

[cedar lodge]

yup, very quick!

[tacit breach]

The more often she lands, the sooner you can win. Very frustrating when she refuses to land much.

[spring frigate]

ho boy lot of stuff to build now

[exotic hinge]

A trait shared by a few dragon fights I know

*Cough Cough* Enderdragon

[tired root]

What do you think of this kind of rework, got reminded about it during this recent convo of poison damage: #suggestions message

[cedar lodge]

yup, opens up a lot of very good new food/equipment quite fast tho (the metal grind is maybe the most comfortable of all)

[frail cave]

sounds like a really good idea~

[true steeple]

Why can’t poison just stack the same as others
this rework is better than it is now but you’re still losing a lot of damage unless you wait for the poison

Also Bonemass would give poison for a few minutes at least if you don’t get out of his cloud

[frail cave]

that could be poison's thing.
it technically is already, but the numbers are so low that this approach is just...terrible

[tired root]

There could be a cap for the duration, or it could end from mobs like bosses if you leave the area.

[frail cave]

if you've hit the enemy enough times to build up a long duration, then imo you deserve to have that long duration haha

[short yew]

The only place I know of the swamp being is right next to a huge mountain, do I build my “safe house” closer to the edge of the mountain or the edge of the swamp?? There’s only a THIN Thin thin strip of dark forest between them

[tired root]

Would be bit more interesting than just working the same as fire and spirit stacking.

[uneven stratus]

if I want to transfer local world and character (steam) from my pc to other pc, do I first have to make them both local ingame and then transfer those files from appdata folder?

[frosty frost]

If you already have the world files you can just transfer them to the other pc

[uneven stratus]

I have some files but they have "cache" in the end, not db or fwl

[frosty frost]

Ah, then yes, you have to go in game and select "move to local" option in saves menu 🙂

[uneven stratus]

ok thanks

[cedar lodge]

uhm couldn't tell, if you just need a safe portal maybe even the swamp could be ok, big trees are indestructible and you can build up high, also just top of swamp crypts is decently safe from most mobs, but it depends on how you handle swamps at your point of progression..

[tacit breach]

Yeah a "safe" house built decently high up on an ancient tree is about as safe as you can get in Valheim.

[wicked sierra]

or hiding in a dungeon

[tacit breach]

That too, but you can't put comfort in those.

[wicked sierra]

troll caves can have campfires tho yes?

[exotic hinge]

Call me a dwarf, but underground is where I feel safest

[tacit breach]

So can swamp crypts, and BF tombs..

[wicked sierra]

without death by smoke'

[cedar lodge]

the only "dry" place in the whole biome, yes you can build campfires in swamp crypts

[exotic hinge]

as long as you don't build it in the ankle water

[tacit breach]

Yes, we do it all the time.

[exotic hinge]

You can also make Pottery for extra storage, though obviously late game limitations

[tacit breach]

We put it by the doors into them. Have to still be careful in a BF tomb.

[exotic hinge]

and very small capacity

[tacit breach]

Lvl 3 comfort too.

[exotic hinge]

I also use the font manipulations to make it easier to navigate sunken crypts that I'm navigating

The enemies can't walk through signs so it helps keep me from being ambushed if I missed something

[frosty frost]

Just go always left or right 😄

That way you cant get lost even if you wanted to

[tacit breach]

Signs block them? Nice.

[exotic hinge]

No way, my ADHD mandates I be impulsive, sporadic, and forgetful

Bring a little coal with me to mark what I did and didn't explore

[tacit breach]

Oh, for direction? I just leave up mud scraps until I have cleared out that direction.

[exotic hinge]

Here are some examples of the font btw if those don't know
Already Explored = <#FF0000><size=50>X\n\n
Active Spawner = <#FF0><size=25>⚔️\n\n\n
Need to Explore = <#00FF00><size=50>^\n\n
Temporary Loot Cache = <#00FF><size=50>0

You can rearrange the new lines \n if the sign is on the floor to prevent movement or ceiling for free movement

Or use different colors, font sizes, etc.

Woops, made a few mistakes

[wicked sierra]

my brain cannot comprehend such

[exotic hinge]

Yeah, it's not the easiest to read, which is why I just copy paste

[wicked sierra]

I just run

and trust my brain to not get lost

[exotic hinge]

That's no fun, everything has to be methodical, notated, and safe

[cedar lodge]

well.. always left could work if you don't want get into html (or right, left is better irl if you're right handed, no difference in Valheim)

[wicked sierra]

nah I just run

[cedar lodge]

heh, i usually settle for exploring and cleaning every angle, but can understand the feeling

[exotic hinge]

The always left is valid if you're paying attention, I often have something running on the side monitor so always left became right because I was pivoting without looking

which then becomes always lost

[cedar lodge]

ah i could never, not good at multitasking 😵‍💫

[tired root]

I just x mark cleared dungeons.

[exotic hinge]

Well yes, after the whole thing is done I remove all the signs and check it off on the world map

Unless I'm using it as a temporary cache

[cedar lodge]

yup that, but adding the iron (or cores, or fenris hair etc.) yeld to the marker for the sake of statistics

[rose vortex]

to anyone who can help, i changed my world from local to cloud and now my dedicated server loads the world without and world progress. how can i get my world progress back?

[frosty frost]

So you dont see the worlds you moved to cloud?

Try to look if you have this enabled

[rose vortex]

ok i will check

[wicked sierra]

did you copy which DB and FWL files

or was it just steam made cloud

coz you shouuld have backups still

[rose vortex]

it was already enabled

[frosty frost]

Hmm, then no idea

[rose vortex]

ok well thanks for trying

[wicked sierra]

you may want to check your backups

[frosty frost]

But Ar is asking a good question, did you copy both .db and .fwl files?

[rose vortex]

im going to screenshot the button i hit

[spring frigate]

this is the most disappointment i've felt ever, scythe does not work on wild bushes...

[frosty frost]

And what help do you need with that? 😄

[spring frigate]

emotional qwq
-# but fr sorry for whining i hoped i was doing it somehow wrong

[frail cave]

at least holding E while moving your crosshair across a cluster of bushes works

[rose vortex]

this is what i clicked except it said move to cloud

[wicked sierra]

uhuh

try loading last backup

[rose vortex]

how do i do that?

[frosty frost]

-# No worries, I was more trying to point out that this is a help channel and not a screenshot channel 😄

[wicked sierra]

(not sure abt this) expand the world and press on the last backup there is

so click the arrow next to the worlds name

-# I hope ts works

[frosty frost]

-# it should

[wicked sierra]

-# fingers crossed

[rose vortex]

am i not supposed to be posting screen shots in here?

[frosty frost]

Oh if its related to an issue you are having then 100% send them 😄
But for posting normal screenshots from gameplay there are other channels

[rose vortex]

oh ok gotcha

[rose vortex]

so i move this move this one to cloud? im surprised some of the files under valheim2 didnt move to the cloud.

[wicked sierra]

yeah move those to cloud

and press restore backup maybe

I do believe thats the newest one

even if the top one is the newest save'

[rose vortex]

gotcha. ok i tried it. now im going to load in to the world and see if it worked.

[wicked sierra]

yeah

-# fingers crossed 🤞

[short yew]

are wolves real

[wicked sierra]

no theyre spies made by odin

they are robots

[rose vortex]

still the same thing. it just loads me into a world without progress.

[wicked sierra]

damn it

thats really weird

try switching to local again

[rose vortex]

that was what i originally tried but it said that there was a file by that name alreadyin the location im trying to save it to.

[rose vortex]

this is the error message i get when trying to switch back to local

[wicked sierra]

tf

make the newest save into cloud then

[rose vortex]

ok

[frosty frost]

Try to go to worlds local folder, copy the saves somewhere else so you will not loose them accidentally, and delete the saves with the same name that are there. Then try to move it to local again.

[wicked sierra]

C:\Users(Your PC Username)\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local has local worlds yes?

[rose vortex]

last time i checked it did, ill check again.

[wicked sierra]

cut the files under valheim2

and paste them in a temporary folder

[rose vortex]

ok

[short yew]

ive discovered that a hut is good

[frosty frost]

Do you need help? 😄

[wicked sierra]

wof

that a stagbreaker?

bronze age mountain is pretty ballsy tbh

[rose vortex]

still didnt work. fml. i moved everything back into the local worlds photo and switched all backups to local.

[wicked sierra]

hm

[rose vortex]

folder not photo

[wicked sierra]

did you try making the newest save a cloud save and then restoring backup

[rose vortex]

i didnt change the latest backup to cloud, but i did hit restore, but i think that one was after i messed it up, i think i should try the backup from yesterday

[wicked sierra]

yeah

[rose vortex]

god dam it. it didnt work. my friend is going to kill me fml

[wicked sierra]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmhhh

[short yew]

why do i keep getting smoked despite the fact my campfire is outside??

[frosty frost]

Can you send a photo of the campfire and area you are getting smoked in?

[short yew]

this is my campfire set up, whenever i walk close enough to use any of the cooking-implements i get smoked out

[frosty frost]

The roofs are pushing the smoke from campfires right to your face 😄 If you make it taller it should solve the issue.

[short yew]

aw man, ok

[short yew]

can I ask you another question'

[frosty frost]

Ask away 🙂

[short yew]

if I build my safehouse in this strip of dark forest will it get attacked by drakes?

[wicked sierra]

na

drakes only spawn at high altitude

[frosty frost]

Shouldnt be, they start spawning above certain height so you would have to make A LOT of noise for some to even come close, and then they would have to see you or some object that is attacked on sight on top of that.

[short yew]

theres a tiny sliver of meadows, is that where I should make my "safehouse"?

[frosty frost]

I dont see why not 🙂

[exotic hinge]

I personally find biome boarders to be one of the more dangerous areas to build safe houses because it gives you complacency and then an Abomination somehow pathfinds beyond it's anchor point and tragedy strikes

[frosty frost]

True that, it would be a good idea to make the "safehouse" at least 50m-60m away from the edge of the swamp

[frail cave]

watch out for aboms

theyll wreck a safe house in seconds

[ornate finch]

Do you know how to manually navigate to worlds_local folder? Move all Valheim2 saves from there, then add only this one back to worlds_local folder

But after you return it back, you have to rename Valheim2_backup_20250816-153438.db into Valheim2.db and Valheim2_backup_20250816-153438.fwl into Valheim2.fwl

[rose vortex]

thank you, ill give it a try tonight

[jade olive]

Is there a height limit on how high you can cut a tree? I am thinking I have to hit the core of the tree and I am to high up so the branches don't count?

[frosty frost]

You can hit anything your character can collide with i believe 🙂

[tacit breach]

Yeah, as long as you can still "connect" you can cut it down.

[jade olive]

I tested your theory and I got stopped once so that is part of the tree I can but the rest I went there so they don't seam to count towards it thank you.

[tacit breach]

I only deal with hitting trees "high" in the Mistlands. As long as you can connect on the main trunk, it will all go down. Just as if you were at the base of the tree.

[jade olive]

Well that the issues I am to high up so what I'm trying to hit isent counting towards the main core of the tree itself but I found a part that is so I just need to get to it so I can land a hit.

[final thunder]

Anyone knows if exist a command to show the number of a specific creature I already kill? I'm trying to get a new Golem trophy. My world has almost 2k days, and my first an only trophy was on the beginning of the days. Thnks!

[frosty frost]

Try /stats in chat (open using Enter) and then open chat again and you can scroll up and down using PageUp and PageDown buttons 🙂

[regal wedge]

@drowsy crane
I did manage to make a bridge using corewood that would allow for a karve to clear it. Bit of a tight fit. Having the lateral mast be inline with the boat helps to not get caught on the sides

That said, after I was done, I realized I could just clear the land gap with a running jump so the bridge is pointless aside from looking kinda neat

[drowsy crane]

Hehe well the effort is always a appreciated

[regal wedge]

Right for science if nothing else. For those in the future, they can do what I did if they what it to look kinda nice but if they just want function, they could just raise the river bed and jump it when needed

[pastel hill]

How do you get the cultivater, I've made bronze and got other things but that is one I cant seem to get

It requires core wood and bronze. If you have both of these try restarting the game.

[pastel hill]

Ive been tryin to get core wood, the fir/pines in blackforest right? I must have just cut like 20 trees and got zero core wood. Will keep trying tho

[strong cape]

just the pines

Okies

Thank you 😄

I started a solo world and am planning on building a fortress since I've seen what a raid of trolls can do to a base. Does the game distinguish between a solo and a multi-player world?

As in, once I get it built solo, could I invite friends to join?

[tired root]

It doesn't, you can invite people in your world you've been playing solo already, you can set it as server from menu options.

[regal wedge]

Awesome thanks. That'll be a fun project for later then

[sleek notch]

any tips on how I can get more surtling cores early game? im playing modded with a bit of qol mods from thunderstore

[cedar lodge]

if "early game" means "before Swamps" the only way is clearing more Black Forest dungeons

[maiden thorn]

burial chambers or surtling spawners

[cedar lodge]

yup, if you're already around Swamps you can mark surtling spawners and visit them every 5 minutes (wich is the spawn interval iirc), pickaxing and flattening the ground below water level around those will insta-kill newly spawned surtlings, just don't leave workbenches / torches /any base item around that could shut down spawns

[sleek notch]

Thanks :DD

[sleek notch]

ohhhh yeahhh the swamps have those spawners :oo I'll try to get there too then, ty both 🤝

if I have a worldsave file from another server, where can I put it so I can run it on my private server?

[frosty frost]

C:\Users\ "your username" \AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local
here should work 🙂

You will have to have both .db and .fwl files tho

[faint jackal]

two files for one save?

[frosty frost]

yes

Should look something like this

[faint jackal]

I found the users folder but nothing else beyond that

[frosty frost]

The appdata folder is normally hidden, you have to enable hidden folders to show

[manic gyro]

Or type %LOCALAPPDATA%Low into the explorer's address bar and press enter

[faint jackal]

no matches

[old laurel]

That seems to have worked, 'preciate the advice. However obvious it may be

[lapis terrace]

usual issues with laptops overall (and also PC's if you have pets or dirty house) clean fans regurarly 6-12 months

[frosty frost]

Once you are in your user folder go to "View" tab on top and there should be "Hidden items" check box

[faint jackal]

i did that and nothing new showed up

[frosty frost]

No AppData folder? A bit transparent maybe?

[lime pollen]

who knows what to do in the misty lands, otherwise he got stuck there

[frosty frost]

How far did you get?

[lime pollen]

we just made an extractor

[frosty frost]

Have you done the dungeons

[lime pollen]

No

[frosty frost]

Then that is what you should do next 🙂

Explore, conquer, upgrade

[lime pollen]

how to find them?

[frosty frost]

Explore mistlands 🙂 look for blue round lights that clear the mist and big staircase, one of 2 types of enterences has those. The other type of enterence looks like a black marble building with vines grown over it and therte are seekers guarding it.

[lime pollen]

Okay,ty

[patent sluice]

did you guys experienced crashing during start up? until now?

[frosty frost]

Not really

[patent sluice]

we've tried so many solutions and we did not solved it.

[frosty frost]

Are you playing with any mods?
