[thorn spire]

alert state is fine. they'll still eat and breed.

it's only frightened state (red exclamation mark) that will stop the breeding process.

Chances are your issue is that they can't get at the food past the wall.

[reef narwhal]

Why do bears and trolls not fight?

[frosty frost]

They are both part of the forest faction 🙂

[reef narwhal]

Ohhh

[vast geyser]

I decided to go to the Plains to test out my strength (Level 2 Iron armor + Level 2 Iron Axe + Buckler, pre-Bonemass), and ended up clearing out a Fuling Village for the first time! 😄

Now for the question: Do they respawn at the village?

[frosty frost]

Nope they dont 🙂
And good job! 😄

[vast geyser]

Awesome, thanks!

[reef narwhal]

How good are the new bear armor and weapon

[tough hare]

Pretty good. Even despite the added weakness.

[sharp cobalt]

We're trying to put down 3-4 Iron cooking station above a hearth, but it keeps telling us we're missing a fire. There's obviously a fire underneath. Any tips?

[royal shale]

2 moders?

[strong cape]

yes there can be multiple locations for each boss. there are always 3 eikthyr locations

[lethal swift]

i think theres just always 3 of each boss location

does anyone know if the game secretly uses decimals for stamina? like it only shows whole numbers but does the like 4% stam cost reduction from my skill level actually do anything for weapons that dont take enough stam to actually do anything with it?

like mistwalker takes 16 stam to swing so a 4% cost reduction brings it from 16 to 15.36 -- is my stamina actually reduced by 15.36 instead of 16, or does it just round to whole numbers? i know it rounds for the visual stuff but

[subtle parrot]

I can't find the message i remember seeing somewhere on here of someone explaining about the use of decimals, but i believe that you are correct

[lethal swift]

[compact heath]

Not possible without #mods-discussion

[regal citrus]

Ye I had to use small wooden doors instead to feed them. I think it may be patched tho, cause I can't seem to get more than 6 offspring in my pen below

[trim gull]

Hello guys, how does chunk loading work? Like I put a portal in my base in meadows to the plains where I grow stuff. Do they grow when I’m not in plains biome or how does it work? Thanks.

[tough hare]

They will "grow" when you're not there.

Which basically means they freeze from the moment you leave the area and then update to the right state the moment you enter the area again.

[trim gull]

:O ok that’s cool ty

Also, if I put the barley and flax makers there, will they be done when I come back?

Also i know that u can fuel up the furnaces for them to be done when I sleep, is it the same for those?

[tough hare]

For the windmill it may depend at how much wind there is and how much you actually put in it.
The spinning wheel has a fixed speed and with that, one night isn't enough to turn a full load of flax into linen.

[trim gull]

Ohhh ok I see ty

[shadow cairn]

have thier been any fix to the console commands thing on xbox since i can't open it

[strong cape]

#xbox-bugs-discussion message

[shadow cairn]

thank you

[mystic onyx]

Is any one having issues with deconstruct not working? I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, removing mods before reinstall, changing key binds, new worls, new char, middle mouse works fine for secondary attack, and all other windows like fast scroll, ect.
Is there anything I can do?

[willow charm]

Q is there a comand to make my IN. bigger?? 🤔 (hoping so)

[exotic tree]

I'm playing coop with my friends on steam, how do I make them admins so they can use debugmode?

[upbeat garnet]

im vanila Valheim, you can't use debugmode in multiplayer, you can install a mod to allow that :o

[exotic tree]

If it's fine can you share the name of that mod

[upbeat garnet]

never used, so i don't know, search on https://thunderstore.io

[exotic tree]

okay np, thank you

[upbeat garnet]

you need to have a workbench nearby for deconstruct to work.

[mystic onyx]

do. I'm going to try a clean install.

[willow charm]

Now, if you go and creative, all the rules are kinda like out the window if you wanna play and creative and set a your own little server, a.k.a. world and have your friends come over y’all can play in creative if you can go that route and go from there there’s commands for creative yes but like they said you can’t do much. We need your multiplayer on this discord servers game that they have running I mean, if I wanted to invite a friend, we could easily go in creative if we wanted to, but you can’t really do a whole lot when you’re in multi that’s why I love to play in creative a lot. I do that with Minecraft to play in Minecraft creative I like playing in creative in a lot of games. It’s more fun like that cause I could build I like building more than I do playing to be honest, but that’s just me just do what you can

Creative you just have to ask for the commands for creative creative is fun. I like creative more than I do playing the actual games. You can still defeat the entities or the little monsters if you will be creative defeat them.

[frosty frost]

Always 3 for Eikthyr, 4 for Elder, 5 for Bonemass, 3 for Moder, 4 for Yagluth, 5 for Queen and 5 again for Fader 🙂

[lethal swift]

wait has it been 5 of queen, i thought it was three

[frosty frost]

Yep, always been 5 afaik

But when Ashlands came out i was surprised that Fader has 5, it breaks the 3,4,5 patern xd

[vivid sundial]

ah the pattern is obvious then. deep north boss will have 8

[vapid ingot]

hello im new can someone help me why it's doesnt work pls?

[frosty frost]

Did you put coal from one side and ore from the other?

[vapid ingot]

yes i do

[frosty frost]

How many of each?

[vapid ingot]

oh ok mb i see

i only put one thing

mb tysm

[frosty frost]

Yeah i had the feeling 😄 its 2 coal for 1 ore piece, thats also why the max for ore is 10 and for coal its 20.

[vapid ingot]

mb lol

[frosty frost]

Glad i could help

[fiery frigate]

is there a way to hide all icons, including the traders and hildir chests?

[frosty frost]

You can delete the hildir dungeon markers but not hide them, and trader icons you cant even delete i believe.

[cold minnow]

is dodging finally a skill? 😄

[frosty frost]

Yep 🙂

[cold minnow]

hell yeah, thank you!

[urban anchor]

does anyone know how to unlock thrinket receipts in a workd where you already completed the Ashlands ?

[frosty frost]

Just pick stuff needed for them again 🙂

[urban anchor]

I tried but didnt seem to do it :S

will try a couple more then and see ...

[frosty frost]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Trinkets look here if you want to know the exact crafting materials 🙂

[hasty meteor]

hello

can i joint your server?

[reef narwhal]

I saw somewhere to fully mine the leviathan you log out and back in do you save before or no

[true steeple]

If the leviathan is unloaded while sinking (which is most easily done by logging out) the sinking will be cancelled

Logging out will save it automatically

[reef narwhal]

Dope

[plucky pollen]

I don't have Spyral Staircases yet so I wanna ask you if it would fit in here:

We haven't killed Yagluth yet but my friends can't play until monday and I am bored rn so I figured I build the tower already and add the staircase later.

[languid salmon]

Why not create your own spiral staircase?

[frigid haven]

can someone tell me what would be the optimal location to build a base on this seed?

[thorn spire]

Starter base or late game?

Take advantage of the Maypole for your start.

[frigid haven]

im new to the game so not sure what u mean by that.

do i have to build 2 basses in this game?

[thorn spire]

Eventually, yes, you'll need a second base in a different biome. If you're just starting out, build a small base anywhere near spawn. For your first permanent base, build around the Maypole.

[vivid sundial]

youre a free viking, do whatever you want but here are my reccomendations for optimal base locations, based on only 2 criterion - 1 close to wherever you are currently and 2 access to clean ocean for hunting and material hauling reasons.

[drowsy crane]

You can always build a Maypole during summer, I would recommend building a base nearby a large patch of raspberries that also has water close by for a dock.

[plucky pollen]

Definitely something near water. (ocean)

[quasi vault]

To minimize time transporting ores and for convenience I think it's best to build 2 bases during a playthrough. First one in a meadows near a black forest so you can quickly get bronze. Then start building a final base later on in a plain, much further on the map. It will help a ton for gathering black metal, allow you to plant more crops and it will be much closer to the mistlands.

[plucky pollen]

Any of you know why my eggs won't hatch? Is there a maximum amount of chicken that can exist in a cerain area? I only got 2 chicken tho.

[quasi vault]

they just need to be warm and be dropped one at a time

[vivid sundial]

i dunno why everybody insists you NEED a second base. I mostly play with one base, sometiems 2-3. You dont need more than one base.

[drowsy crane]

There is a limit with tames, but chickens can be surpisingly abundant. It says Warm yes?

[drowsy crane]

Not true, I usually hatch 5-10 at a time.

[plucky pollen]

Yes, they are warm and sheltered. I have already hatched 2 with that same method, even tho they've already been a pain.

[vivid sundial]

they mean eggs gotta be single not stack

[drowsy crane]

Ah, yes

[drowsy crane]

Okay, they take 30 minutes, are you just standing by? 😛

[plucky pollen]

No I am working but rather close from them.

Like 50 m tops. Probably not even.

[vivid sundial]

wheb you look at the eggs, do they say (warm) or something

[drowsy crane]

Interesting, I would perhaps adjust it's position and leave for another 30 minutes before maybe resorting to slaughtering some chickens.

[plucky pollen]

I've read online that it might become problematic if they're too close to each other or a wall.

How's that?

[drowsy crane]

I've had them much closer and had it work just fine, seems okay to me!

[frail steeple]

never had that problem...im fact, in my farm the wall stopps the eggs. 50 of em at same spot, no problem

[quasi vault]

The only thing that's missing is patience

[plucky pollen]

Considering that they should hatch in 30 minutes and I've been playing for at least 2 hours now without an egg hatching is kinda stretching my patience.

[frigid haven]

this is another seed i found where most bosses are quite nearby especially queen on same island as spawn and leading to deep north. is this map better than the previous one i shared?

which of the 2 should i start my journey on for a relatively easier playthrough

[plucky pollen]

Okay for whatever reason all of the chickens spawned at once even tho I placed the eggs days apart.

[drowsy crane]

Ah, your timer updates at the same time, for some reason it was delayed

[drowsy crane]

I would personally base this on which has more Swamp Crypts nearby, the first seems like it has more swamp biomes that are closer.

[quasi vault]

I'd highly recommend not looking up the seed of your world before starting it. This is an exploration game which you shouldn't spoil entirely. What makes a playthrough easy and efficient isn't the map, it's an efficient use of portals and ease of access to metal.

[frigid haven]

alrighty ill do that then

[quasi vault]

Good luck and enjoy!

[unkempt finch]

What is the most efficent way of getting Soft tissue if i just entered the mistlands

[quasi vault]

Break their dome

[unkempt finch]

Whose Dome?

[quasi vault]

Long gone giants

[unkempt finch]

You mean just kill These giants?

[quasi vault]

You are much too late for that

[unkempt finch]

Im not understanding

Is that like a boss ?

[quasi vault]

I tried not to give it away, soft tissue is giant's brain, you can find bodies laying around in the mistlands and you will have to mine their skull and brain to get soft tissue

[unkempt finch]

Oh

[unkempt finch]

You mean These giant marble things if yes i never saw the brain only the ribcagd

[tawdry bone]

Where you can get chikens

[quasi vault]

Not all of them have the skull, keep searching and you will see some ticks and hugin will visit you once you find one, alternatively you can break open boxes for some tissue at dvergers outposts

[unkempt finch]

you get them from the big towers in the 5th biome or if you kill the yaguluth boss you can buy them from haldor

[vivid sundial]

you need head. find the head. (if its not ontop of the body, move along find a new one)

[vivid sundial]

yes either find the tower in plains or ask Hildir where the towers are

[tawdry bone]

What is the best way to kill a bear

[clever juniper]

slash is the only thing it doesn't resist, so typically a sword

[true steeple]

An axe would be best before you have metal

[reef narwhal]

Does a better pickaxe also give more yield or just faster break time

[thorn spire]

more damage.

yield is per chunk broken, not based on the pickeaxe.

[quasi vault]

More damage and more durability, which means much faster break time, an upgraded iron pick is always the first thing I get with iron to mine the rest of it much faster

[reef narwhal]

Gotcha

[royal shale]

where moder? 🤔 could it be that unlocking the 2nd location got rid of the 1st one?

[frosty frost]

Nope, but you most likely got the pin before the update and just now generated the area around it right? Just go to some vegvisir nearby and mark it again 🙂

[royal shale]

I did get the 2nd mark from one of those stones after the update, so ig it just moved? gotta bring the eggs back then 🙁

[floral token]

Hello. Do torches still stop mobs from spawning? I forget if that was patched out or not

standing torches, i mean

[frosty frost]

Yep they do 🙂
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

[floral token]

thank you awesome asatru

[mortal wraith]

does a campfire provide player base even if its not lit?

[true steeple]

Yes, it doesn't need to be lit

[mortal wraith]

neat

[acoustic kayak]

Has anyone got any tips for pushing tamed boar? Ive got a penned in boar at my base thats tamed but i need to push it towards the main boar pen. It just wont budge

[thorn spire]

Is it one you found near a runestone? They don’t like to be moved. Keep trying to push it and put up fences behind you. Or try luring it with food

[acoustic kayak]

I eventually used a harpoon and stairs to pull it into the main pen!

[thorn spire]

If it’s from a runestone, it’s just gonna stand in the corner. As soon as you have piggies, you might as well slaughter it.

[misty hollow]

or push them in a fenced way with fire - dont know if it works with tamed ones. but i would try it

[thorn spire]

tames aren't afraid of fire.

[main dust]

any ideas why the game keeps crashing

yo anyone hear

[pure mango]

Version, any error messages, any mods?

Not that'll I know lol but thats what people who do will likely ask

[hard zinc]

hey, i have the same issue since the last update. I crashed 3 times already. No Vulkan, no mods

[misty hollow]

i was told to make an update with the grapics driver. my game was freezing after round about 30 sec - then it was running well again

[tiny violet]

have you seen any giant bones or giant swords around? they are the remnants of giants. ||if you find a giant skull, you can mine its brain for soft tissue||

[tiny violet]

often if you find a ripcage, you can look to the top of it where a head would be and find the skull

also a good way is finding a small dverger camp with crates. lure enemies towards the dverger camp.. they may kill each other. otherwise when there is only 1 or 2 dvergers left, you can take them out then and break open the crates

[unkempt finch]

thanks for all the tips and this one is really helpful, i thought of dvergers as like "friends" so i never thought of attack/killing them

[frosty frost]

Try updating graphics drivers 🙂

[tiny violet]

welcome. any dverger who witnesses it will aggro you and never forget it. dvergers who did not witness it will be neutral as usual

[ocean abyss]

I everyone im french, and my valheim game crashed ! Can i have help ?

[ruby scaffold]

It is probably a video driver issue. Current Nvidia driver is 581.29, last stable one for me was 566.36, I'm still using that one... NVIDIA drivers have been godawful the last year. Try reversing driver version until you find one that is stable for you.

[magic turtle]

question anyone know if expand world stil lworkd and if it does how to use it ?

[ocean abyss]

I download my udpate graphic 👍

[hard zinc]

indeed I have new drivers to install. Well if you don't see any new messages from me, it means it worked.

[minor jetty]

Guys I wanted to play with my friend today. First time ever playing the game. And I constantly got the failed to connect error. I looked up the solutions. I turned off firewall, turned off crossplay, checked the files. Any other solutions? Would a dedicated server fix this issue? I'd be very thankful if somebody helped out

[pure mango]

If nothing else a dedicated server provider (assuming you'd be renting rather than using your own) would provide support to resolve the issue.

You can get something for less than $10 equivalent per month if thats OK for you. Worth it if youre going to be playing together a lot maybe.

[minor jetty]

Ah okay. And can I make my own pc a dedicated server? Or something like that. I have no clue how that works but if it's too elaborate to set up I'll just rent a server

[pure mango]

#dedicated-server will be able to help. They dont recommend server rental companies though if you think you might go down that route.

I mean, specific ones.

In general the concept is fine.

[minor jetty]

Thank you 🙏

[ruby scaffold]

Yeah, if you have a stable connection and a spare computer - for a valheim server they don't need to be particularly powerful - you can easily set up a dedicated server that stays online 24/7. Takes a bit of twiggling with port forwarding etc, but it is not that hard. there are plenty of youtube tutorials that go through it step by step.

[hard zinc]

it still crashes ;__;

[ruby scaffold]

For me, I had to reverse to older drivers. I'm using 566.36

It all depends on a combo of operating system - W10 or W11 - hardware and driver version. Problem with nvidia the last year is they seem not to test older systems extensively, so if you have older pc:s their later drivers can be horribly unstable.

My PC is too old for W11, so I'm using W10, driver version 566.36 and haven't had Valheim crash ever, not once.

[hard zinc]

W10 here too

i'm going to lower a bit my ingame settings if it changes anything. I activated FoV today too. not long before crashes arrived

[ruby scaffold]

FoV?

[hard zinc]

i mean the blurry effect far away

[ruby scaffold]

Ah right

Motion blur and Depth of field I have deactivated, don't like the effects

[surreal pagoda]

If building a base near ocean (for transport etc). Do you prefer/recommend building it right on the coast (making the dock part of the "main" building) or nearby, with a dock being a separate thing?

Currently planning an early game longhouse near this natural harbor - debating whether to put it across the thin strip of land seen down near the water (raising etc when needed) or up where I'm standing.

[ruby scaffold]

I personally try to make my primary base right on the coast so I can make a protected dock where greys and other vermin can't get to the boats, so I don't have to deconstruct them all the time.

So, peninsulas or other places where a bit of land protrudes out into the ocean is my go-to locations.

[hard zinc]

most important to me is to make the path from boat to furnace the shortest and flatest possible

[ruby scaffold]

But then I'm playing no-portals so sailing is a major part of my game...

[ruby scaffold]

Yeah, full carts and steep slopes don't work well together...

[surreal pagoda]

Any issues with building over shallow water (like, more or less walkable without getting wet)? Weird terrain textures or anything like that or is it fine?

[white vapor]

One other thing to consider is how shallow the land comes up out of the ocean. Don't want a dock/main base if you get storm waves rolling inside your base all the time. Little annoying.

[ruby scaffold]

Any issues you have can easily be dealt with by use of hoe and pickaxe

Also do use the hold shift to swap snap point feature, it is a godsend when trying to build near water

[surreal pagoda]

Good point... Maybe I should build just a little further up to begin with and then plan out a later game build at the water (which gives me plenty of time to get to know how the waves act in this particular area)

Will be mining mostly on this landmass for now anyway 🙂 And probably will want to rebuild at some point anyway due to new materials and/or ideas

[white vapor]

Most likely. Depends on the difficulty you play with, which effects how fast you move along. If it's a lower or "normal" difficulty, you usually speed through things too fast to build a whole lot. If you play increased difficulty, no map, no portals etc..., you might build 4-5 bases. Also, of course, depends if you're playing solo or you have a dedicated server with others.

[surreal pagoda]

Right

Playing solo and taking my time. More hanging out, building and "tending" rather than pushing for progress

[white vapor]

Ah, gotcha. I have a "build" world that I use for just building (free build mode). Thing with that tho, a lot of the builds look cool, but a lot of times cool looking builds are actually not all that great for using during a play through.

I have one that is basically a whole village, perimeter wall and all kinds of crazy. Never would do something like that in an actual play through unless it was some group effort to gather all the mats.

[surreal pagoda]

Yeah, I'm guessing certain end-game mats are a bit more effort to farm than stone and wood :>

This will hopefully be both manageable to finish and last me through the bronze age. Might even look nice and function fairly well (going to have to be a bit creative with fireplaces though to cover all of it)

[ruby scaffold]

I tend to look for cool builds on youtube and then try to replicate them while actually playing, I tried using free build but that just got me bored quickly, I need the requirement to find and haul home the required mats or it's just not fun. So if a build turns out to be too impractical to use as an actual base, I just don't finish it. I'd rather start over and build something I'll actually want to live in...

[surreal pagoda]

Better start smaller and replace it as you outgrow it than aim for a mega build right away... and then realize it's not feasible or that you just don't spend that much time in that area anyway

[ruby scaffold]

One I found by Chiselchip (his Plains fortress) turned out to be an awesome practical home base in wood/stone tier if you just simplified it a bit. Still using that castle...

[surreal pagoda]

Question is - do I need to go find some core wood before I build this? 😄 not sure if it will work with regular wood

[ruby scaffold]

https://youtu.be/a4NidrXlMh4?si=2CpkBbM_W5xuZvST

[white vapor]

I'm kind of the opposite. I think farming 30k wood gets boring, but copying someone elses build makes it cheesy.

[frosty frost]

Seems large enough to warant it, but try without if you dont want to go for it right now, if roof starts to break you can go for some, shouldnt need much more than few colums of it i think 🙂

[white vapor]

Depends if you're going for 2 story build or not. Like you said you'll have a couple different chimneys, so good place to have columns that don't get in the way as much. Seems like a good size base.

[surreal pagoda]

I'll build out the main frame and see what the stability is like before I start filling in and/or detailing anything then

It'll be better than the repaired pre-generated hut I've been using so far 😄

[strong cape]

you really dont need that big until you get materials from the 3rd biome, and then you have the materials to build big

[frosty frost]

I dont make bigger stuff even with iron, i just stay in my starter base and at most make additions to it but they never requite more stability than normal wood or very rarely core wood provides 🙂

[worn barn]

@surreal pagoda I just posted a lousy screen shot of my current island base; but this is my 2nd world so it's a LOT less extravagant than my main world. I was going for simplicity and modesty this time around 🙂

[white vapor]

Guessing you play with maps and portals then?

[surreal pagoda]

I think you really don't need any more... but having a bit more air between your things is nice 🙂

[surreal pagoda]

Interesting!

[frosty frost]

Well, yes, i didnt really change the way i play, meaning modifiers, since 2021 😄 (Appart from very last playthrough where i made it a bit easier)

[white vapor]

Ah, yeh you can stay in first base that way. If you're playing No Map, No Portals, having big sailing trips to plant food and stuff isn't too efficient.

[frosty frost]

Welp, that is part of the no map no portal experience 🙂

[strong cape]

solo vs multiplayer will also be a big difference multiple beds and that damn cartography table use up a lot of room

[white vapor]

hah, we had a crazy "bed stack" in last play through. Think it got about 10 beds high. Once you get to a certain point, the lower level guys can't even get out of bed anymore. 🤣

[worn barn]

My first base is HUGE, lots of room between the thigns

Ok maybe not huge by some standards but it's still sizeable

[tawdry hamlet]

Started playing again after a year out, I’ve seen the “No Build Cost” option. Is this only for walls/roof or is it for stuff like workbench upgrades etc?

[frosty frost]

Everything 😄

[surreal pagoda]

Well, the main structure seems viable even with just regular wood. Might need core wood if I get into some fancier chimney-work though

Next build I'll try to work in some verticality inside... Not quite ready for that yet 😄

[tawdry hamlet]

Is there a way to only have it turned on for the building aspect? But still need resource for that stuff workbench upgrade, cooking station upgrades etc

[frosty frost]

No, you either have everything from your hammer menu for free or nothing.

[strong cape]

it effects everything made by the build hammer, but not things made at workbenchs etc

[frosty frost]

You could throw away the materials needed for the stuff you want to cost something, but you also don't get any resources back once you break the stuff so you would be stuck to one position of that thing.

[pure mango]

I wish there was something half way between normal building and hammer mode.

Like a 50% off hammer.
I mean, theres 2x yields but that affects all crafting and building obviously.

[orchid jungle]

So like halved building costs?

I’d be kinda shocked if there’s not a mod for that

[opal peak]

how do i break my builds bro 😭

it takes so long with an axe 💔

[unkempt finch]

i need help, i just got told that there is a decoration piece that only spawn on the main island and is very rare but i dohnt know the name. if anyone knows the name or how to find it that would be nice

[orchid jungle]

The maypole is the only thing I can think of

But it’s just super rare

[orchid jungle]

Middle mouse with a hammer within crafting bench radius

[unkempt finch]

yes thats the thing thank you

[opal peak]

that doesnt work

i click my scroll wheel and nothing happens

[orchid jungle]

Weird
If you look at controls in settings it should tell you

[opal peak]

i set it to middle mouse

and nothing still happens

[orchid jungle]

Are you within the radius of a workbench?

[opal peak]

ye

[orchid jungle]

Then I’m sorry but I’m honestly not sure

[opal peak]

😭

[orchid jungle]

I mean you don’t have any mods on right?

Besides that the only thing I can think of is your hammer durability being zero

[opal peak]

moods?

[worn barn]

@opal peak if you want to break the whole thing and not just certain parts, you can take your axe to it.

[opal peak]

i tried my axe it takes awhile

[worn barn]

But I'd check hammer durability first. And there are some things you can't deconstruct like ships and carts.

[opal peak]

ok

ill check whenever my friend is back on

[orchid jungle]

I meant mods
My bad

[opal peak]

ohh no i dont have mods

[worn barn]

@opal peak I have had issues in the past in other games, where the scroll wheel click simply refuses to function properly; I am quite pleased that it is working as intended in Valheim.

So to be sure:

1. You have the proper crafting station
2. You are within range of that crafting station
3. Your hammer is not broken (flashing red bar underneath means it needs to be repaired)
4. You have the piece highlighted with the mouse (I like to be "on" my hammer, like I'm going to repair - reduces clutter)
5. You are clicking the scroll wheel.

If all of those things are true, you should be able to break just about anything.

[opal peak]

alr ill check when my friend is back on

[frosty frost]

What are you breaking?

[opal peak]

wall

cant test anything rn tho since my friend is offline

[frosty frost]

Ok ok, i asked since certain things have to be broken down with weapons and can't be broken using hammer 🙂

[surreal pagoda]

This is going to work well 🙂 Decided to drop the central part (including the entrance by 1m) to create some internal depth (and then have two "raised" wings for crafting/comfort). A bit plain right now - only did some detailing around the entrance, but once windows and chimneys go in, I think it'll look and work great 🙂

[lethal swift]

how does the printseeds command work since it doesnt seem to work

[drowsy crane]

Looks like you typed the seed incorrectly, it worked for me. Here's the seed : spBzmAlX7F
I believe you didn't capitalize the F at the end. 😅

[lethal swift]

wait am i dumb; ty

[hearty flint]

how to delete items completeely?

[jade olive]

Obliterator

[hearty flint]

what type of weapons are good for each biome? like spear sword whatever the attackt ype is

[bright socket]

What is the most efficient way, solo play, to clear out crypts when just starting in the blackforest? I need to get the cores but always get swarmed even blocking perfectly doesnt always help

do i fight around the forest trying to get my skills up

[bright socket]

Yoyenix its not by biome its by creature type

Meadow i use spear (always bow for every biome as well as secondary), forest i use mace, swamp is mace, mountains, pierce, plains, pierce, mists bludegoen/slash, firelands, slash. however you can use slash overall.

Slash has the fewest direct /hard/ resist, meaning using it will give most consistent damage across biomes and mobs, there are exceptions

[gloomy chasm]

Anyone using the famed boar/wolf farms? Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XF0XH7mMRhk

If yes, have you noticed any change after the recent call to arms patch? Boars/wolves not eating?

[bright socket]

I will let you know soon but im not using that setup i just make a larger pen and let them roam eventually there are enough sepearted they keep breeding or i cull them

[gloomy chasm]

Yea normally they eat, its specifically this kind of setup im curious about.

[white vapor]

For me, I usually try to kite a troll first. Get one piece of troll armor, then with mace and shield you can take a dungeon normally. Just careful if you happen to get 1 star archer skeletons and ghosts. The sledge hammer (can't believe I can't remember the name atm) is also great as you can aoe dmg/kill skeletons without even opening doors. Stagbreaker....finally remembered lol

Also, make sure you upgrade your shield, then also your mace once you get some bones.

[mortal wraith]

does the player character vertical location change raid spawns / types at all?

i have like a roof base, wondering if it prevents certain raids from happening

[obtuse vector]

is there a mod available? I don't know how to ping mods but the most recent suggestion seems very mean and not like a serious suggestion at all

[stoic trench]

You can send a message to @lofty orchid

Usually at least one person is available

[unborn viper]

How do you open the command console for Xbox? I tried all the bumpers and triggers then pressing the menu button, but it doesn't seem to work anymore

[hoary ocean]

Question = Does Firepit Iron cause sparks that may burn my whole base?

[obtuse vector]

No. You are safe to put fires inside your base, but Smoke comes out of the fire. You need to make a very tall roof, or to make a chimney so the smoke does not extinguish the fire. The same smoke comes from a Hot Tub so that needs a tall roof or a chimney as well.

But no, it will not burn your base. No campfires in the game will

[tired root]

Having all 3 covered (blunt, pierce & slash) would be wise for all situations. So if you carry a club weapon plus those then you're all setup.

[pure mango]

Why 9 slots and not 10 lol?

[lethal swift]

if you have the fire hazards world option turned on normal campfires will; and i assume that was the context in whcih the question was asked

[silver plaza]

Hello everyone, I have a question. Does Valheim support crossplay?

[drowsy crane]

Yes it does 😄

[wanton hawk]

Just killed first boss, second boss spawn location is not marked on my map after placing the deer had at right place, ehat should i do?

[frosty frost]

Explore black forest and look for the stones like the one that revealed Eikthyr 🙂

[quasi vault]

It's not what will lead you to the next boss, it's exploring the next biome until you find a vegvisir for it

[lime pollen]

can i kill the last boss with a friend with this inventory?

[frosty frost]

I would say so, yep, tho repair please xD

[quasi vault]

There's nothing you can do to give you a better chance gear wise

[vernal solstice]

Hey guy's can you get valheim chat in Thai language?

[frosty frost]

LLike on this server? No. In game? Not sure if there is Thai translation, will check.

[vernal solstice]

thnx I live in Thailand I want to play with my boys... whosapeak thai

[frosty frost]

Yep there is thai translation, tho 35% of stuff is not translated.

[vernal solstice]

well that's a start

where do you find the translation

is that in game?

[frosty frost]

Yep, in settings

[vernal solstice]

thanks, any thai discord channels ?

or googgle translate I guess

[frosty frost]

Not here, no, but you can make a post in #1024264966712340510 that you are looking for Thai players 🙂 just keep the post in english as to not break any rules.

[unkempt finch]

can i dig under a grey dwarf spawner without it breaking or does it need a support under it?

[white vapor]

So, on solo (free build) server, just trying to build weird stuff. Have a pool and bar, but was trying to make a dance floor. 🤣 I got this little one going, but just doesn't seem like enough. Anyone have an idea for something weird like that?

[unkempt finch]

disco

[white vapor]

eh, that was terrible pic...

Maybe it needs a ceiling with some sort of lighting?

[frosty frost]

I think you might have more luck in #building-tips and #building-discussion 😄

[white vapor]

yeh, probably 😅

[unkempt finch]

do you know if i can build a deep hole right under a grey dwarf spawner? , i dohnt want to destroy it.

[frosty frost]

Yep you can 🙂 it will keep floating

[unkempt finch]

Ok thanks !

[primal bramble]

Guys is there a good mod for flattening terrain?

[frosty frost]

Its called a hoe 😄

But if you really want a mod you can ask in #mods-discussion 🙂

[white vapor]

You having trouble making it "perfectly" flat or you wanting something to do it auto for you (not even sure if there is something like that)?

[zealous oxide]

How can I use admin command on Xbox? It used to be LT+LB+RB+RT+option button but now when I try it instead of bringing up the command menu it brings up a ping and fps menu

[frosty frost]

Go to settings and enable the console 🙂

[zealous oxide]

Can I do it in game or do I have to do it to the server while in the main menu?

[frosty frost]

Should be possible in game i think, but i dont have xbox so not 100% sure🤔

[zealous oxide]

Ok, thanks

[frigid haven]

hello im new to game so i just started i defeated the first boss so far and im trying to build a base near the ocean so i can sail to second boss and i made a circular barrier for starter. is this area going to be enough for starting out or should i expand the area a little

[true steeple]

That looks good, you can always expand later if you need to

[frigid haven]

just flattening the area took so long

[frosty frost]

You dont need to flatten everything 🙂

[quasi vault]

It's plenty big enough until you are past the mountain biome, where you may want to build further on the map and you may need more space. But I can already tell from seeing it's on the coast, near a black forest and from your gear that you are doing good

Just make sure that you craft bronze nails before you start sailing and that you drop a portal immediately once you land

[frigid haven]

why portal?

cant i just sail back?

[white vapor]

Yeh, he meant in case you die and get sent back to your spawn location.

I don't play with portals, so making a quick camp/bed is first thing I do when going to new lands.

[quasi vault]

It will allow you to go back to base to deposit, rest, sleep, etc, allow you to recover your body without having to spend hours getting back there again if you die, give you a point to go back to and explore further from. The map is massive and you need to go very far on the map if you want to beat the game so the sooner you start using portal, the more time and frustration you will save yourself

[jade storm]

I’m at work but trying to find information about how to start a server on my pc for friends to play on

Please @ or dm if your about to help

[zealous oxide]

Where can I access this?

[frosty frost]

In game

[zealous oxide]

But where

[frosty frost]

gameplay tab, near the bottom iirc

[zealous oxide]

Where is that on console?

[frosty frost]

In settings, in gameplay tab, near the bottom...

[zealous oxide]

Ok, thanks, sprry for the trouble

[frosty frost]

Different button combo? 😄

[surreal pagoda]

How does aggro etc reset when you exit a dungeon? Just made it out of a burial chamber that was an absolute mess (two star bowman, four regular skellies and a rancid were right behind me)

[frosty frost]

Just wait few minutes, if enemies dont have anyone to hit for a while they will de-aggro

[surreal pagoda]

Right, they're still loaded though and processing even when exiting the dungeon then I take it?

[frosty frost]

Yep

The dungeon is just really high up above you

[surreal pagoda]

Imagine that 😄

[noble pendant]

This may sound amateurish, but is anyone having issues bringing up the devcommands on their xbox?

[frosty frost]

You have to enable them in settings after last update 🙂

[noble pendant]

Ive saved and still nothing

Rb+lb and start disables the hud

[frosty frost]

Try LB+LT+Start 🤔

[noble pendant]

Nope

Last week I was able to use the devcommands, now I can't. Even on a new game.

Kind of sucks when you're in hammer mode

[frosty frost]

Should be something + LT, just try to go through everything.

And maybe try to restart the game, maybe it could help 🤔

[noble pendant]

Maybe. Just weird that I was able to use them last week, but not this week. 🤔 Wonder if the developers got tired of people cheating. Lol

[frosty frost]

There was an update 5 days ago 😉

It is said in patchnotes you have to re-enable it

[noble pendant]

Even for xbox x/s series?

[frosty frost]

Yes, for valheim, that means the game will update on all platforms

[noble pendant]

^_^ thanks Asatru.

[frigid haven]

i dont understand why this is red

[true steeple]

That means it has low support and you can't build much higher without stronger materials

[frigid haven]

the whole thatch roof is basially red

[frosty frost]

It will not colapse so dont worry 🙂

[frigid haven]

ah ok thanks coz im not planning to build anything above

[noble pendant]

Patch says developer console is disabled by default and be enabled by new gameplay.

Lol had to go to settings and enable it in the gameplay settings.

[white vapor]

haha, I doubt that since they've literally said Vanilla servers are the way they are so people can "cheat" if they want.

[noble pendant]

With the new patches and developments, never know. It may happen.

[covert hedge]

hey ! I have a question, if I place 2 training dummies next to each others and I can hit them both while attacking, will I lvl up skills x2 faster ?

[light cypress]

is there a way to tune down the difficulty abit? I used to play the game at launch and it was fun, but now it feels a bit too difficult for me to enjoy. I love this game regardless

[frosty frost]

Before you launch the world you can fiddle with world modifiers 😄

[surreal pagoda]

Considering you don't get two increases if you hit two enemies/two trees etc... no 🙂

[light cypress]

thank you

[pure mango]

I recall someone saying the other day they had created a circle of dummies for turbo levelling lol and it worked, but I cant confirm that.

If it does work, its clearly an exploit, so you'd have to make peace with if thats worth it for you or not.

And could maybe be patched out.

[pure mango]

Out of interest, are you saying the biomes that were there at launch got harder, or just the new biomes?

[white vapor]

My guess is he/she is probably just a little out of practice and/or the UI is taking some adjustment time from the game they've most recently played.

[tired root]

Could also be due to this latest update bringing few new enemies in earlier biomes.

[woven sparrow]

anything im doing wrong for getting sea serpents?
im sailing at night/while raining (is thunder needed? or just rain)
and im usually circling islands while still being a good bit in the ocean biome, i've found two leviathans and not a single serpent

went a bit out in the open ocean too without any success so far, am i missing anything or am i just unlucky?

[tired root]

Rng messing with ya.

[woven sparrow]

man.

i really want that shield :c

spawned one just now, but i learned why i should be using harpoon.

are the spawn points fixed in my world or do they spawn wherever btw?

[true steeple]

It’s random

[woven sparrow]

aight, thanks!

[wooden mica]

Hello, if I played the game on XboX game pass and now I bought the game on Steam, is there any way I can transfer my character from Xbox to Steam?

[earnest fog]

Real quick questions about dedicated servers. Coming back to Valheim for the new update but I have a dedicated server running on another machine. Beyond running the dedicated server update on that machine do I need to do anything to get my world updated or do I need to start a new world?

[opal peak]

how do i make a campfire not go out in the rain???

i built a roof over it and everything but it still goes out

[jade rapids]

Build short walls around it, and make sure the smoke can escape. Or that will also choke out the fire.

[opal peak]

does this work

[jade rapids]

That is floor, not roof

[opal peak]

but its the only flat stuff i can build with

[jade rapids]

And that is no flat roof, until later in the game

[opal peak]

so why cant i use a floor

is the smoke able to escape tho

[jade rapids]

Because floor isn't roof. You have tilted roof to use

[opal peak]

whats the difference

it looks like a roof to me

[jade rapids]

Only roof stops rain

[opal peak]

does this work

[jade rapids]

That should do it.

[opal peak]

thx

[surreal pagoda]

Is this far enough from the black forest for a base/outpost so as not to become mad from creature harassment?

[frozen gorge]

Build a castle wall with a moat then prepare strong tower with Miscalculation. Then build a church to spread god’s wisdom upon the land.

[surreal pagoda]

Or maybe I should just screw it and build in the forest for once

Immediately encounters bear Guess not

[dry cloak]

Has anybody else noticed a change in RNG generally since the update? I know it's being bandied about that getting a bear trophy can take up to 60+ kills so you can finally make a rug. (I've killed about 14 now and still no trophy) But I went into an Infested Mine yesterday to harvest some more black cores. Nothing. Nada. Not one core, not one seal breaker fragment, no stone with The Queen's location. Nothing of any use. Which is a first in my game. Does this happen often? The other 4 Infested Mines I've cleared out all had SOMETHING of value besides many many bugs. Just seemed odd. And just finding the mines themselves can be frustrating enough.

[pure mango]

We did some burial chambers on my server today and they felt smaller than usual.
Humans go wild with pattern recognition though it could be nothing.

I think someone a couple of weeks ago said they did an infested mine with nothing in it

[sand tapir]

how come theres no more workshop page in steam for valheim anymore? how do I disable my mods? im trying to join a server but it wont let me because it says version incompatible

[pure mango]

I dont think they were on the test branch

[sand tapir]

how do i remove mods from my game?

[true steeple]

Manually delete everything inside the installation folder then re-install the game

[sand tapir]

How do i find the installation folder?

[true steeple]

Right click Valheim on your steam library and there should be an option to browse the files

[frigid haven]

guys this is my progress so far

theres a bunch of space left in the circle what should i build there?

[white vapor]

carrots 🙂

You have a forge/kiln inside? If so, carrots and maybe some boar taming. Looks like you're playing with maps/portals, so maybe a couple portals.

[jade rapids]

Some raids can do AoE damage pass your walls. Build double walls or dig trench.

[frigid haven]

i was thinking about making a trench soon

but i dont know how

[jade rapids]

Dig with a pick.

[quick current]

Does crystal heart stack with bone mass?

[true steeple]

No, the only resistance which can stack is on the serpent scale shield

[quick current]

shame, ty

[opal peak]

can i put more than one cooking rack on one campfire

u can

[jade rapids]

4-5

[paper shale]

is there update dedicated server in linux. I did the update to it and new call to arms does not work with it.

[opal peak]

how do i get copper

@jade rapids help 🙏

[quasi vault]

Definitely a farm and more beehives

[opal peak]

found it

[viral cave]

Solo eperimentation would probably answer most of your questions before you need to ask them here.

[light cypress]

thank you for your question 🙂 sorry for the reply delay.

i think it got little bit harder, zones like swamp and black forest felt like it has increased in enemies count. and it felt kinda annoying to try and farm, like i had little time to farm because of large encounters and enemy count over and over, one example is i was in the swamp i placed a portal. I tried exploring and ended up overwhelmed with enemies, i couldn't like look for the iron or something like that and i was focusing in killing enemies, which wouldn't end approaching me. back then i felt it was more on the chill side, kill a few nice you have a break go farm, and idk maybe the game didn't change and its just me but yeah...

[sand tapir]

why cant my friend join my dedicated server? my other friends can join no problem though

it just says failed to connect

[compact heath]

maybe folks in #dedicated-server know more, is he on the right version, same as the server or an older one, (assuming server and him have no mods) and is he whitelisted if you use a whitelist, does he have the right password, is he trying to type the password and has capslock on accidentally?

[sand tapir]

Password menu wont pop up just says Failed to Connect'

he reinstalled the game 3 times now

[compact heath]

it hasn't changed afaik, but some areas have more monsters than others in biomes if the conditions for their spawn are right, then it also depends where the zone boundaries are, I think abomination is 1 per zone but if you're at a zone boundary its also possible to get abom from both zones

[compact heath]

and there is space on the server too? I think it can also fail to connect if his internet is too bad for it to connect

[light cypress]

yeah as i said mate, might just be me. i started a new world tweaked down some options. thanks anyway

[smoky acorn]

Are they running on macOS, Linux, Windows, or Xbox? Using the Steam version of the game, Apple App Store, Microsoft Store?

Is the server using Crossplay or the direct/Steam networking mode?

[sand tapir]

Server is being hosted through Ale Forge

[smoky acorn]

And is this player running on macOS, Linux, Windows, or Xbox? Using the Steam version of the game, Apple App Store, Microsoft Store?

And is the server using Crossplay or the direct/Steam networking mode?

[sand tapir]

He's on Windows. Steam Version. And hes just typing in the 6 digit join code to join us

[sand tapir]

and for the cross play / steam networking how do i check that? im just renting a server from aleforge

[smoky acorn]

It would be in your server logs. Your hosting vendor also likely has some site, command line tool, or API for configuring the server, and the networking mode would be a critical part of the server configuration. Given you're using a 6-digit join code, I'm going to assume it's a Crossplay server.

Is the player running any kind of VPN to access the Internet? Any Internet security suite? Are they in Russia?

Also note that Crossplay join codes change over time. You should check server logs to make sure the code they're trying to use is the latest.

And while you're checking those, it would be handy for the player to send you their Player.log file so you can help them troubleshoot.

[tired root]

Well, swamp got new enemy after launch (||abomination||) and just recent update brought new one to black forest (||bear||), but also new equipment.

[sand tapir]

Are you able to vc? Could you please guide as we share our screens 🙏

friend is restarting his wifi now

it works now! @smoky acorn

[smoky acorn]

Nice!

[sand tapir]

he turned off his vpn and restarted his wifi! thank you so much!

[mortal wraith]

do flametal plate and legs outres the feather cape?

[tired root]

Do you mean the heat resistance? Then no, heat and fire resistances are 2 different stats.

Heat resistance reduces the damage taken by lava and spicy water, plus you can stay there bit longer too.

[mortal wraith]

interesting id have never thought that lol

[tired root]

Heat damage was new in Ashlands update, it deals pure damage and can only be affected by the heat resistance granted by Flametal armor.

Ofc lava can set you burning too.

[real marlin]

need help killing queen

[tired root]

What kind of help, tips or actual fighting help?

[tired root]

Incase tips needed, here are.
General tips:

• Best foods available
• Have rested buff
• Bonemass power grants slight resistance to her attacks
• Useful meads are poison res, HP, lingering stamina, tasty, berserkir, Ratatosk and Lightfoot meads (eitr for mageplay)
• If running out of stamina or want to have slight break you can jump off from higher ground and glide with Feather cape while regening HP/stamina/eitr
• Bilebombs are very useful against her and her summons.
  For melee:
• Mistwalker or Krom are very viable options against her
• Demolisher or Himminafl for her summons
• Between her melee attacks you have time to perform secondary attack with sword to deal more damage stamina efficiently before dodging/parrying (parry doesn't cost any stamina now since CtA update).
  For mageplay:
• Ember staff is very useful both against her and her summons
• Keeping distance is recommended
• Protection staff for shield to protect you if she manages to hit you.

[quick current]

How does the dmg vulnerability effect of the bear/vile armor interact with bonemass/crystal heart?

[frosty frost]

Resistance overrides weakness 🙂

So you end up resistant if you have both the set bonus and the bonemass/crystal hearth

[deep geode]

Are there any rules for the build of the month?

[tired root]

I believe no mods and hide UI. You can use devcommands for freefly camera.

[misty hollow]

does it mean, you can use the armor to recover the corpse in lava? i had no idea yet, how to reach my corpse, when an askvin shot me inside

[tired root]

Even with the armor jumping into lava is not good idea, lava deals more damage when you're deeper.
Have you used basalt bombs? They create temporal platforms which help to traverse through lava and also get to your gravestone.

[misty hollow]

just used them for flametal mining, but when it goes up, it was not easy to grab lower things, so i thought this will not work

[tired root]

Try get the platform lower if possible.

[misty hollow]

ok. will try next time - thx for the hint

[tired root]

If jump height becomes a problem you could try using Lightfoot mead.

[frigid haven]

guys i have 20 bear skin hides. im right now rocking a troll armor set and everything is level 2 currently. should i go for a bear armor set now or stick to troll armor?

[lethal swift]

honestly what i did when this happened was me was i just hopped in, grabbed it, and brought it closer to the shore like 3m then died and respawned again

its not fast and its probably not a good strat compared to good basalt platform placement HOWEVER it is an option if you dont care too bad about dying or dont want to deal with the platforms for whatever reason

[misty hollow]

haha - ok. this of course another way to get back to it as long as you dont lose more xp - i will take it into consideration next time

[lethal swift]

tbf you only lose the xp once if you do a big string of dying like that

because of the no skill drain buff, that is

[lethal swift]

when you switch from L2 troll you end up losing 3 armour, gain the 1.25x weakness to phys, and also the 30% health regen and 15% stam regen - personally i think the stamina buff alone is worth it for the bear armour, and double so if you're using a slash weapon (for the slash buff)

3 armour isnt much but rq lemme do math for the stuff you'll see in black forest for how much that will change the damage you take

[frigid haven]

By slash damaged you mean from the axe

[frosty frost]

If you do a string of deaths like that you don't loose more xp ever since the do skill drain refreshes with each death. 🙂
So as long as there Is not more than 10 minute pause between deaths you don't loose any more xp

And now reading your message again o realize thats exactly what you said...

🤦

[lethal swift]

greydwarf brute - with troll (24 armour) its slap doing 30 damage gets reduced to 9.3; with bear (21 armour) 30 damge becomes 13.4 damage
log troll - 60 damage becomes 36 with troll armour, instead is 48 damage with bear armour
bear swipe - 50 damage to 26 with troll, 36 with bear armour
bear armour definitely makes you feel weaker, but if you upgrade it, your armour value increases enough for the bonuses to be incredibly worth

would anyone happen to know if the damage resistance (or weakness) applies before or after the armour calculation? wiki doesnt seem to say, but for that i just multiplied it in after

if it multiplies in before the armour then the gap between bear and troll is larger than listed

[tired root]

Any weapon that deal slash damage (axes, swords, most claws).

[frosty marten]

Somebody gave me huge list of mods to make into a mod pack but it so biiiig and he didnt make mod pack he just gave me names can somebody make from the list a mod pack

[tired root]

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

[frosty frost]

I believe Its after

[lethal swift]

ah good to know, so the weakness is even less of a thing

[frigid haven]

can someone tell me why are these stones spawn like this

[tired root]

They're one type of POI that can have chest buried inside the stone formation.

[frigid haven]

sooo after digging all of that i finally found the chest and all i get is this?

and 2 bone fragments

[drowsy crane]

Ah, you'll get an accessory that will make locating these chests take 2 or 3 swings with a pick. Best to wait for that, it's called the ||wishbone||.

[subtle parrot]

Tbh the chest is usually at one end or the other, no need to dig up the whole area

[frigid haven]

so i have some bronze ready to use. i have so far made a bronze axe and pick. what should i make next with bronze or what should i prioritize first

[tired root]

Nails, cultivator and fermenter.

[wooden mica]

Hello, if I played the game on XboX game pass and now I bought the game on Steam, is there any way I can transfer my character from Xbox to Steam?

[tired root]

I'm afraid there is no way to transfer Xbox files to Steam version.

[wooden mica]

Thank you.

[pure mango]

Were you playing on an external server? Because you MIGHT be able to get the world files

[wooden mica]

Hmm .. yes, but was a rental server, and also not the owner. I though the chars are hosted on Vallheim cloud.

[pure mango]

You can ask the owner if you can have the world files I guess

I can see this dissapointment

But since you last played I'd imagine a lot of stuff has been added

Not just the new biomes but to the existing ones you played already

If you want most things to be in the same place you can use the same seed. But then you would have the excitement of discovering a new seed.

[wooden mica]

No problem, i will grow on the new char and this time will be held on steam cloud 😂

Thank you anyway for help.

[pure mango]

Enjoy!

[frigid haven]

i wanna know how deep should a moat be

should i take the moat straight or around the fence into the ocean?

[frosty frost]

As deep as you can make it 🙂

[frosty frost]

From where you have it now to the ocean i would say

[frigid haven]

i guess i dug a little too close to the wall right? or is it good ?

[frosty frost]

Seems good to me if you dotn want to expand in near future 🙂

[frigid haven]

not sure why but for some reason some part of my base is randomly getting damaged. dont know what is damaging them

u can see stool is also damaged

[frosty frost]

Try to look if you have roof connected properly above them, and even if yes try to replace the ones under which the dmg happens

[frigid haven]

so i was using these flooring. are they the reason?

i used them as ceiling coz i wanted a flat top

[frosty frost]

Yes, that is the reason, floors dont count as roof

[haughty stump]

Exception for grausten material, later on

[frosty frost]

Correct 🙂 from stone onward
-# And ||ashwood|| again not being counted as roof iirc

[haughty stump]

Oh right, my bad, black marble too

[frosty frost]

Stone, black marble and grausten flors should all count as roof i believe 😄

[frigid haven]

well i covered it with a roof but its not symmetrical.

thats why i wanted a flat roof 🙁

[haughty stump]

Did you use the wood beams 26 degrees or 45 degrees to make that X at the end of the roof?
Thats whats not symmetrical?

[frigid haven]

used 26 degrees one since roof is also 26 degrees

[haughty stump]

Alright, but you used 2 beams, right? One snapped, one didnt and you manually made it fit, correct?

[frigid haven]

maybe i have to shift that whole part 1 metre to the left

[haughty stump]

Just use the X bro, if you did what I assume. One X has 45 degrees, one is at 26. Use the 26 wood X

[wanton escarp]

Quick question, is cooking station (the early wooden one) affected by cooking skill ? I noticed my left meat finished faster than my right one, when in fact i placed the right one before the left one

[frosty frost]

Not the speed of it, no

[haughty stump]

Cooking skills do not affect time to cook AFAIK.
Also you dont get to choose the order, it auto places them if im not mistaken

[wanton escarp]

So it has something to do with either server or client, aight thank you

[frosty frost]

Possibly

[wanton escarp]

Oh yea the auto placement puts the right one first then middle then left because of the orientation i think, but apparently the left one finished cooking first, then right then middle, which is a lil odd

[frosty frost]

But if it is right after each other does it really matter? 😄

[wanton escarp]

Yea i had time while cooking atm so i might as well listen to my curiosity 😂

[haughty stump]

Well, there you go, clarified 🥸

[wanton escarp]

Thank you for the answers you guys

[light cypress]

i just met the bear this morning, is he by any chance tamable?

[frosty frost]

Nope

[light cypress]

that's really un-bear-able huh

[frosty frost]

Not really 😄

[bright portal]

Can you zoom the camera out while sailing?

[frosty frost]

Yep, just use scroll wheel 🙂

[viral cave]

You can zoom it out even farther than you can normally while on a boat

[visual kayak]

Is there a mod that has the World Map? Like from Real Life?

[flat oyster]

Hey guys, I have a question about the new update. To find the new enemy types do you need to find new land in an older world or do I need to start a new one?

[true steeple]

The new creatures will spawn in previously generated areas

[viral cave]

New structures will not be retroactively added, though.

[flat oyster]

Thank you! I guess they just don't spawn often because I haven't found any after 30 minutes.

Never mind I found a bear!

[bright portal]

I will have to see how to do this with a controller

[frosty frost]

should be the down arrow i think 🤔

[true steeple]

It will be different depending on the control layout you use, so you can check in the pause menu

[viral cave]

The default "Classic" controller layout maps zoom to up and down on the dpad

[indigo herald]

Hi! I have "Failed to Connect" when trying to connect to friends servers without giving me option to input the password. They can't join me either, they can join each other.
I have created a new character, restarted the game, re-installed it, checked the files, restarted the PC, turned off my anticheat, my friends created multiple new servers with and without crossplay and with and without a password.
I'd really appreciate some help

[frosty frost]

Are you using vpn by chance?

[indigo herald]

No

[frosty frost]

Hmm, just asking since yesterday there was someone with pretty much the same issue and the reason was vpn

[drowsy crane]

iirc wasn't the fix the host restarting their modem?

[smoky acorn]

They had a VPN

[frosty frost]

I think it was turning off the VPN, but could be remembering it wrong 🤔

[drowsy crane]

I can't recall tbh

[smoky acorn]

Are you running any security suite software that might act as connection middleware? Some antivirus programs will do this.

I would check your Player.log file after one of these failed connection attempts. You're welcome to post it here if you have trouble interpreting it, though feel free to obfuscate IP addresses or other private information. In most versions, you can find a link to the Player.log in the bottom left of the background of the main menu screen.

[lone frost]

I need a perfectly flat building space for testing builds how do i get that?

[indigo herald]

I have turned off antivirus for a few tries. I don't have the time to troubleshoot anymore right now, please if anything else comes to your mind tell me and I will get the info and screenshots in couple of hours

[haughty condor]

hi all, does any body know how the drop rate of bear throphy is?

[frosty frost]

Its 10% 🙂

[haughty condor]

thanks, sounds a lot better then my personal rate ... - I go on hunting

[frosty frost]

Dont loose hope 😄 RNG is gonna RNG sometimes

[haughty stump]

TBH i suspect a bug for bear trophy drop - it was an issue on some earlier versions of valheim for other trophies and it got fixed.
Everyone has the same problem with the trophy, i cannot believe it's 10%, we all have the worst RNG? Maybe me, ok, but everyone? 🤣

[smoky acorn]

Sure. Player.log after a failed attempt will be your best bet if there is no VPN or security suite running.

[frosty frost]

It just because you need the new trophy for quite a few of new things so everyone is paying attention if they got it and after how many kills 🙂
Other trophies with the same drop rate might also drop after the same number of kills but since they are not new or needed players will not pay that much attention to it.

[primal gazelle]

anyone know what the deal is with this bug? me and my friends started a new dedicated server yesterday and was making bronze fine, next day we tried forging the grey'd out, we've tried destroying it making multiple forges changing location with no luck, restarted the server hoping that would work but no luck and it seems rare this happens because there isn't much help online

[frosty frost]

I would almost bet one of those stacks of bronze is bugged, try to put them in a new wooden chest somewhere you will not mistake them for any other stacks and try to get new 11 bronze.

[primal gazelle]

does it help to know we spawned some in? but it worked for some but didnt for the others

I had friends join late so wanted to get them up to scratch

[frosty frost]

Could be, if you can spawn things in just destroy these or throw them in the ocean and spawn new 11 in

and use spawn bronze 11

[primal gazelle]

Yeah I'm spawning on a different server and bringing them over at the moment might be the issue! thanks ill give that ago

yeah the stack was bugged thanks a lot for the help mate

[indigo herald]

What am I supposed to exactly check?

[smoky acorn]

Yes, you would look in that file in a text editor or logs viewer.

(after a failed connection attempt)

[indigo herald]

Yes, I just failed to connect

[smoky acorn]

You are welcome to scramble IP addresses and attach the file here if it's not very clear to you. BTW, if your PC happens to be in Russia at the moment, you will have trouble connecting to Crossplay servers.

[indigo herald]

I can't even find the IP address and I'

m scraed I'd miss it and send it regardless. I'm not in Russia

[smoky acorn]

Well, if you want a second pair of eyes you can DM it to me.

[solemn osprey]

Use a hoe to level ground? You could also research dev tools, im pretty sure there are terrain generation options.

[indigo herald]

I wrote to you on private

[lone frost]

Yeah but the hoe is too slow to make big areas perfectly flat

[frosty frost]

Be carefull with that devground command tho, dont spam it too much or it can become pretty laggy 😄

[vagrant pulsar]

How do you get copper in the black woods without a bear hearing you and coming over to rock your ||shit|| before you get the copper bc they just come out of nowhere while I mine and it’s only bears that I got a problem with

[frigid haven]

Should I unlock bronze spear or bronze atgeir first?

Which one is better as a weapon

[frosty frost]

I personally like atgeirs better 🙂 but do you want ranged option or crowd control tool?

[frigid haven]

For range I already have a bow

[frosty frost]

Welp, i would say atgeir then, its secondary is op as heck 😄

[lone frost]

I personally prefer swords due to the slash bein thw best ovr damage type but Atgeirs are usefull for crowd control

[frosty frost]

I have swords and atgeirs tied for my favourite really 😄

[solemn osprey]

You dont, you just pay your dues for that copper. IE having to stop every 5 seconds to kill some damn blackforest busybody rushing over to "politely" explain that mining outside the hours of 1-2pm is expressly against the HOA rules.

[frosty frost]

You can just playce few campfires around the node and you are pretty safe from most BF mobs 🙂

[solemn osprey]

Although... i havent played since Call to Arms dropped. Are bears scared of fire?

[frosty frost]

They avoid it

[solemn osprey]

Oh, well there you go

[vagrant pulsar]

Thank you so much also I am a professional HOA rule breaker lol
Hate hoa

[surreal pagoda]

I'm a serial restarter. I like using the same character though (but with no gear - just keeping the skills makes it feel like a "prestige" more than a full reset). I know I can reset Hugin (eh) - is there any way of resetting crafting recipes? Getting that popup when you find a new material for the first time is satisfying - I would like to repeat it in subsequent worlds

[frosty frost]

I think you might be able to with commands, let me check tho.

Hmm, let me test, found something but i am not sure if it will work.

[surreal pagoda]

Wouldn't want to risk messing something up if the method is too out there 🙃

[frosty frost]

Just commands, but i am not sure if it works the way i think it does

You can reset the build pieces, but workstation recipes you seem to be stuck with

[surreal pagoda]

Ok 🙂 Thanks

[frosty frost]

Ah, maybe fugured how to reset recipes

Ah, ok, so you technically can do it using commands but it will also remove all skills, so no use there

[surreal pagoda]

Kind of defeats the purpose then. Would probably be easier to set the skills to the previous levels I suppose

[frosty frost]

Pretty much.

[lethal swift]

wait since when can you die inside a trader protection bubble

[frosty frost]

Is it the bog witch?

[true steeple]

It's always been possible

[lethal swift]

elite walked through her front door and killed me lol

[frosty frost]

Yeah, inside of her hut was always dangerous, for some reason enemies can aggro on you if they see you even when you are inside, i personally think its besause of Kvastur, so that he can attack you when you cause trouble. But anyway, if you want to chill in her bubble specifically ou have to be outside for nothing to aggro on you. 🙂

[woven sparrow]

the hell was that guy???

[frosty frost]

Your boss 😄 be respectfull

[woven sparrow]

oh dang my bad

[drowsy crane]

Grim Creeper

[frosty frost]

Yeah thats Odin 🙂
He will check on you from time to time

[woven sparrow]

chill
he's just making sure im fine <3

[lucid jewel]

do trinkets stack?

[lethal swift]

you can only equip one at a time but the ones with durations on their effects will stay for the full duration even if you swap what you have equipped

[native parcel]

anyone having world generation issues? i got the boss stone so i traveled all the way up here and there are like swaths of blackforest just gone and not generating. same with the boss platform :/ i have never had this issue and have 0 idea what could be going on

[native parcel]

looking at other boss spawns, all the zones around them are not spawning either where the marker says they should be. and then the area around them is totally empty.

anyone encounter this??

[compact heath]

assuming you never had any mod installed, have you tried to verify game files? also has the world been created prior to the latest update or after?

[strong cape]

when did you create the world? before or after the most recent update?

[native parcel]

created it after the most recent update 🙁 i believe just last night

[compact heath]

and never used any mods?

I'd try to verify game files first, also potentially backing up all worlds and chars and reinstalling

[rough bronze]

Does the black marble 2x2x1 just not exist to the player?

[queen beacon]

how do i read the spawn compass, im no map

[native parcel]

i guess it is a new issue with dedicated servers?

it just takes a few min for certain areas to spawn in. took about 3 minutes shrug

[regal wedge]

Is this a commonly used breeding system?

I set it up and got it working once but then the boars just stopped eating the food for some reason so I tried to make the food more visible but no matter how close I get it to the wall, they won't eat

Got it fixed. Changed from having a flat wall to 2 sets of diagonals leaving a gap big enough for the boar to properly see the food but not enough for it to escape

Could cause piglet problems. Unsure

[orchid venture]

is there any devs

i need help im about to loose my mind ive tryed everything im not jokeing when i say ive tried everything read every reddit post and steam post

asked people in the vc i need actual help

[sand tapir]

how do I change boss difficulty? I have 8 players on my server and we just shred the bosses too fast

[lethal swift]

you can’t change boss diff specifically

if you want you could change the combat diff to very hard for the bosses and then back to normal

[compact heath]

I don't see your post about your issues in this channel, what is the problem

[orchid venture]

it is way to much to type out do you have tiime for a vc @compact heath

[compact heath]

also devs probably still asleep

no can't vc right now sorry

[orchid venture]

im not jokeing when i say id have to write like 5 eassays

[compact heath]

you can always describe something shorter usually

[orchid venture]

not this

put it this way i had to force make a pref file and it still hasnt worked

[compact heath]

hm, we had another player with a really odd problem the other day, and it ended up fixing itself eventually he reinstalled game a lot etc

[orchid venture]

thats how far ive had to go to fix this and it hasnt

[compact heath]

which platform you on, i guess game is not launching and you already have fully removed all files and done a clean install after a pc restart?

assuming steam

[orchid venture]

im on pc no far worse the game didnt even have a pref file to use console commands to spawn things the game didnt register my recipes to make fine wood stuff ive reset the game cleared caches verified files made another work bench dropped and re picked up the items got to a point were i had to go into the files beacuse f5 wasnt working with or without fn and now even the pref.exc file i made didnt help to bring up the comman prompt

and ive tried everything restarts reinstalls verifying

[compact heath]

there is a pinned post too how to properly removed mods if you ever used any of those

[orchid venture]

my pc isnt old i have a 3080 and 32 gigs and have only had it for a month so its nt ahardware issue either

its not a mod this is vanilla

[compact heath]

so never used a mod at all?

[orchid venture]

nope

my first time evn playing the game heck my fiancee is in my world and even she doesnt see the recipes after we got the bronze axe and shes even done everything i just did

plus she has bear pelt recipes were i only have one and im the one who killed the bear and grabbed the pelt so its not registering recipes even after all the fixes

[compact heath]

so she has the same problems?

Did you only uninstall or also remove folder?

(Do backups beforehand of chars and worlds as needed)

Step 1: Uninstall Valheim.
Step 2: Delete the entire Valheim installation folder.
Steam default installation folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim
Gamepass default installation folder: C:\XboxGames\Valheim\Content
Step 3: Reinstall Valheim.

[orchid venture]

i fully removed it already

its a step i already took

the other issue is f5 isnt working at all in game for commands

[compact heath]

so you have the -console enabled etc of course, just going through troubleshooting steps

in properties somewhere

[compact heath]

oki

and you tested with another newly made char and world?

[orchid venture]

yes

thats why i said it might be a dev issue i might have gotten a curropted copy of the game

[compact heath]

we also had a guy that had an undiagnosable problem a few days ago, and after a few hours is suddenly all started working

[orchid venture]

well i could see bear recipes yeterday but icant today

[compact heath]

also don't ping devs obviously, but when they wake up and you see them active including another guy who is very good with game problems when they all arrive they might be able to help

6am in sweden rn

[orchid venture]

fair enough no i totally understand

[compact heath]

some of them may ask you to send log files etc or world and char files to you can move them to local

another thing I would try, if your saves are cloud saves, both world and char, move them to local, or if they are local move them to cloud, both of them and see if that fixes anything

and then touch the items again that give you recipes you should have etc

[orchid venture]

made awhole new world and look

still doesnt appear

[lethal swift]

i will note you do need the trophy if you cant see the hat recipe @orchid venture

[orchid venture]

the bear recipe?

thats understandable there but what about the bow recipe we killed the deer god

[lethal swift]

which bow

finewood?

have you tried having both finewood and corewood in your inventory while you stand next to a level 2 workbench

[compact heath]

have you touched core wood?

and finewood, and deer skin, else the new bow will not show

the recipes only unlock after touching every single ingredient

[lethal swift]

and having touched a workbench of the correct tier

[compact heath]

the only thing that unlocks after eikthyr is the pickaxe beause it uses hard antler as an ingredient

true

[orchid venture]

core wood is the first woood yo ucan get right

[compact heath]

no

[orchid venture]

then what is it

[compact heath]

its from pine trees in the forest

the first one is "wood" so core is technically sort of the second, as you can use flint axe to get it etc

fine wood needs a bronze axe or some trickery to get, so technically the 3rd wood

[orchid venture]

the big trees in the dark forest?

[lethal swift]

pine

[compact heath]

yes the real tall ones, not the christmas tree "fir"

[orchid venture]

i dont think ive even come across pine

[compact heath]

then you will not have the new bow unlocked...

[orchid venture]

fir and beech and the fine wood

[compact heath]

if you black forest is very very tiny its possible, otherwise look again

and cut down one of the pine trees

but that explains 100% why you would not see the new bow recipe...

which other recipes you think you are missing

beech gives just "wood" the fist one

also seems you can see bear armour again now which is good

[orchid venture]

still doesnt fix the f5 but it does fix the other issue

[compact heath]

not sure why you can't press console, I only use it for my server admin stuff and when I need it for testing content, not in a normal playthrough and during normal play, what you trying to do with it

[compact heath]

can see all recipes now then you are meant to? your workbench can also be upgraded to level 3 already before even killing eikthyr

level 4 after eik with bronze etc

[orchid venture]

yeah were in a dungeon so give me one second

[compact heath]

all good

[orchid venture]

found corewood

[compact heath]

if you have deer hide and fine wood will unlock new bow

but whatever you did made your bear chest and pants appear again so thats a win too

[orchid venture]

thank you

[toxic agate]

I downloaded this game like 5 times and after playing it for 1 hour i uninstall
And the reason is idk what i suppose to do
Anyone interested to play together, teach me basics

I have mic btw

[cedar lodge]

hi! if you want to look for players there's a dedicated section https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 you can look for exiting parties that could fit your needs or make a post yourself (specifying details such as language, timezone, playstile / mod usage etc. usually helps)

i personally love solo playing, and enjoyed having to rely on no information the first time, if you don't care about that aspect of the experience there's a well fournished and fast-updating wiki, and also asking here works

if you wanna try the "blind-solo" instead, the general advice is focus a lot on Hugin the raven's hints (wich are also listed in the "raven" icon section of your inventory menu), some of the loading screen random hints are very useful (example it's the only way the game teaches you on how to "test" mob's damage type resistances/weaknesses), and generally always check and recheck inventory, hammer's build menus and crafting station's crafting and upgrading menus, picking up for the first time any new material will likely add options to at least one of the 3. Ofc try picking up and building everything possible to see if unlocks other stuff itself.

The "home page" of the "raven" menu is also very useful as explains in details and numbers the "status effects" currently active on your char, wich are summarized as symbols with brief description on top right of the regular in game ui

[silent delta]

i need to settle something. When sailing, the little golden circle on the right of the screen that shows the boat and wind direction, and is slightly greyed out at the rear. My friend believes that the boat travels slower in the slightly grey region, while i think that would be illogical and the boat would travel faster when the wind is directly behind.

please let me know yo

[frosty frost]

Direct back wind Is always fastest

[surreal pagoda]

Marginally so according to wiki though

"The brightness of the golden part of the circle indicates how strong the wind is pushing the boat, however most of the vertical force is lost to dampening. All wind directions from crosswind to tailwind end up being roughly the same (with the optimal wind angle being only ~3% faster)."

[silent delta]

that's why he thought the golden part would be faster, because the wiki states "The brightness of the golden part of the circle indicates how strong the wind is pushing the boat". I normally just believe the wiki but it just seems so illogical

[cedar lodge]

yeh as wiki says wind direction, given it's not in grey area, impact speed little to none, wind speed counts much more ofc, anyway wouldn't be that "illogical", i'm not an expert in sailing but i'm quite sure to have heard by experts that direct tailwind is not always the best performing option for boats, ofc depending on type of boat and sails etc..

-# this comparing to rl sailing ofc, in Valheim the beast is tailwind as said before

[surreal pagoda]

I think some sail types do better when coming on from the side or an angle (think ones who are tied from the front of the ship to the mast). Also if you have multiple sails, having wind come from the tail would mean the one furthest back could shield front ones from wind. So assuming force transfers without too much loss when wind comes in at an angle (minimal sliding sideways etc), the optimal might be from behind but not straight behind 😄 Speculating here though, but makes sense I think

[cedar lodge]

yeh i'm not that deep in sailing knowledge but makes sense and kinda matches what i heard, all Valheim ships rely on a single sail tho, so maybe direct tailwind bonus would make realistic sense 🤔

[short forum]

How high needs a cage roof to be, that boars still mate?

[cedar lodge]

uhm, boars will mate and breed regardless of roof afaik, mine do both in the open and in 1,5 m tall roofed enclosures

[frigid haven]

can someone tell if i can equip heart of the forest trinket with bronze pendant

both of them at same time

[sleek vault]

Does the 2 star regular bear despawn after night due to it only spawning at night?

[cedar lodge]

nope, one trinket at a time can be equipped, heard something about switching them during fights but yeh, still one at a time

[frigid haven]

ok thanks

[cedar lodge]

never encountered one but it should despawn as any other night exclusive creature in game

[tired root]

You can have multiple trinket effects on when switching between but not equipping at the same time. With accessories (like Megingjord) you can wear trinket too.

[tired root]

I would assume the same, night spawns usually despawn at dawn.

[woven sparrow]

do serpents have a range they won't leave or smth?
i can't manage to consistently drag them on land, they just loose interest at some point for no appairent reason

[pure mango]

I'm pretty sure its based on how far away you are from them, rather than how far from home

You should be able to bait them if you go slowly

[woven sparrow]

aight, guess i'll swap between half and no sail next time

[pure mango]

Do they swim back or just dissapear?

[woven sparrow]

swim back

[pure mango]

Yep that should do it

[woven sparrow]

sadly was a night spawn and despawned on me the second time it lost interest

thanks for the advice!

[tired root]

They usually stop chasing if they can't reach or hit you in a while.

[frigid haven]

so i made this ship docking place. my first attempt so not sure if it will hold up storm or damage my boat.

can someone tell if i can make improvement on it

[drowsy crane]

Needs roofing!

[tired root]

Not necessarily, wood degrade only to 50% HP when rain damages it.

[frigid haven]

is this better?

[drowsy crane]

Looks lovely well done

[surreal pagoda]

Is having all three traders on the same island a geniune advantage or just something "neat" that seed-fans like to look for?

[drowsy crane]

It will surely save you time, that much is clear.

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1352161012689801309 Here's a seed I found with exactly that, and more advantages as well.

[surreal pagoda]

Is the advantage (as you see it) primarily that it's easier to get to them all for the first time, or does it keep paying off after that point? Like how often does one actually go back to them late game to where proximity matters

[drowsy crane]

It's also just going to involve less risk, and provide options should anything happen to portals. Of course, it's also great for no portal gameplay.

[dusky veldt]

how do i repair broken tools?

[noble pendant]

Use the work bench

[dusky veldt]

i've crafted like 20 hammers rn just building my base

didnt know it was that easy

[noble pendant]

It's all good. We've all done it

[surreal pagoda]

No harm done when it's just wood and stone 🙂

[dusky veldt]

my first base so far not sure if i should have anything else

[tired root]

Remember, you have the whole playthrough to build anything you want. 👍

[surreal pagoda]

No no, just saying that going with throwaway tools isn't a problem until you start upgrading or crafting tools with materials that are more annoying to get 🙂

[dusky veldt]

there's a lot of cool stuff aesthetically but i mean for gameplay reasons if there's anything

im still quite new so i'll just let myself figure out how to expand the recipes menu

[tired root]

If you're going to build big, you need some materials for better support, like one wood type from the next biome.

3rd biome also unlocks new building pieces and better support pieces too.

[dusky veldt]

so i'd need more of regular wood to support the same structure?

[tired root]

You'd need different kind of wood for better supporting.

You can look at building pieces and tell by the color how well they're supported.

Blue is strongest, connected on ground, green is good, then going more yellow, then orange and then bright red is when the piece doesn't hold.

[dusky veldt]

i've noticed some parts of my structure are breaking down but not getting destoryed, is that because they're in the yellow/orange zone?

[tired root]

Orange is still when it holds but red doesn't.

You cannot build much further from that point.

[dusky veldt]

like this

[tired root]

But making those poles from the stronger wood will offer better support for your building.

[tired root]

Ah, that is when your building pieces are not covered by roof.

[dusky veldt]

odd, i've got roofing all over it

nvm it's probably just these lookout points that arent

[silk fjord]

Is there any dish you can make out of bear meat? Because I got it and I haven't unlocked anything, or is it unlocked later? ((I just got into the swamp))

[frigid haven]

i finally cleared the second boss.

so what am i suppose to do with crypt key that i got after defeating the second boss

[junior ingot]

swamp

[frosty frost]

Whats its name? 😄

[frigid haven]

something to do with crypts.

not sure what that is and where it is

[frosty frost]

Its name Is Swamp key, so guess where you should go 😁

How does someone who's been playing vanilla Valhiem solo since the early days and wants to try co-operative gaming go about finding a similar minded group to game with?

[jolly spire]

thanx

[gleaming sun]

yo i was playing today and got an orange +1 next to a mushroom i picked up and it gave me an extra one, has that always been a feature or is that new?

[frosty frost]

Its been a feature since Bog Witch update 🙂

[gleaming sun]

and today is my 1st time getting that 😢

[junior sierra]

There is a whole stat revolving around that

Honestly, it is a good addition to the game

Making consistent farming more rewarding

[white slate]

yo why can't i put down forge cooler

[echo sparrow]

some of those are wonky in their spacing requirements--neither too close, nor too far, from the associated station or other upgrades

[frigid haven]

so im thinking about making a farm now. this is going to be my layout.

is this going to be a good idea to built it here?

[white slate]

do you have image how it should be placed? i cant find any spot

[glad narwhal]

I’d take the inside splines off. You’ll nearly double the planting space then

[white slate]

omg im an idiot

i've been trying to put forge cooler into SMELTER this whole time

https://tenor.com/view/crying-happy-but-sad-face-gif-3965076157677852181

[echo sparrow]

well at least the maddening mystery has been solved

[frigid haven]

for some reason a mob spawned inside the base

[surreal pagoda]

If you have spots further than 20m from the nearest workbench, torch, campfire etc (there's a list on the wiki), they will spawn

[frigid haven]

when i exited my house after a night sleep i saw a greydwarf shaman standing at that place where im pointing with roundpole fence

[frosty frost]

If it was in an area covered in the expanded zone of upgraded Forge or Workbench and you loaded the zone then they have chance to spawn due to a bug

[frigid haven]

so it was a bug?

[frosty frost]

Did the enemy spawn in the area protected by the expanded radius or the base 20m radius?

[frigid haven]

he spawned inside the area of workbench

as u can see there are guiding lines running from the workbench showing the area where i can build

i think he spawned in that small gap

u can see 2 workbench area overlapping and then theres a small gap in between where im pointing with roundpole fence

[drowsy crane]

Yeah only the workbench areas are spawnproof. I found the best method is to place workbenches along the outer wall, and then on top of that creating a radius of watchtowers with workbenches in them. This prevents things from spawning close enough to aggro the walls randomly as well.

Here's a visual example I made a while back

This also makes any raid far easier to meet as they travel in to your base and keep anything from disturbing tames or hitting walls.

Hello, it seems my friend trolled me by putting this gigantic skull at the middle of my village. How can i remove this? With console

[echo sparrow]

troll? that's a gift friend!

[frosty frost]

Its destroyable with mistlands tier pickaxe, you can either spawn it or wait till you get to it normally 🙂

[echo sparrow]

do know how much trouble it was to haul that thing all the way from the mistlands, presumably?

[cloud dragon]

well if i can destroy it with pickaxe can i also destroy it with console?

[frosty frost]

Maybe, but i dont remember the id for that skull

[frosty frost]

Do you have devcommands enabled?

[cloud dragon]

yes

[frosty frost]

Then try standing on the skull and type forcedelete giant_skull

[cloud dragon]

It didint work but thanks anyway looks like i'll do it with the hard way⛏️

Thank god its not some kind of indestructible object

This would be much worse

[frosty frost]

You will need blackmetal pickaxe tho, if you want to spawn it then spawn PickaxeBlackMetal

[cloud iris]

hey, would anyone be able to help me recover my stuff? i keep getting killed by a mosquito

[sharp cobalt]

Does anyone have a greydwarf farm that is raid safe? Or relatively raid safe. Youtube video on how to make is preferable.

[fading rampart]

guys can we please get a fix on PlanBuild mod since new update this is now broken i cant place builds

[frosty frost]

You have to take that up with the mods maker 😄

[fading rampart]

have no idea how to contact them

[frosty frost]

Me neither 🙂 but folks in #mods-discussion might be more knowledgable

[fading rampart]

thanks

[frosty frost]

Just dont have more than 2 player base items there and you are safe 🙂

[echo sparrow]

relatively raid safe would be fairly easy just spam the area around the farm with campfires, if you wanna be extra safe add a trench too far enough away from the edges of the build that mobs at the edge can't hit it with ranged attacks--to get flying mobs that some raids will add though that can be a lot harder to be sure you've covered all the places than can spawn from, there's just not really a reliable way

[echo sparrow]

this, IF your build plans allow, is honestly the most reliable way--but there's more than enough such objects it's very easy to NOT be able to really do that, and have what you want conveniently able in the build (e.g. a portal is one, a workbench is a third already--I wanna say campfires count too)

except for that one raid...

[frosty frost]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base
Everything here counts as player base 🙂 if you have only portal and workbench you are safe.
-# Also, that one raid doesent happen in BF 😄

[echo sparrow]

oh yeah--i forget how biome limited it actually is, I swear I feel like it's triggering constantly lol

[lusty trout]

Hello, do bears have set spawn points? There is one that keeps spawning in the same place next to my base. It's a great bear farm, but it's mildly annoying to keep seeing it.

[true steeple]

The spawning is random

[sharp cobalt]

2 player base items?

[drowsy crane]

2 https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base items

[sharp cobalt]

There's so many of them that is needed for a greydwarf farm though 😅 One portal and one hanging brazier/campfire will do the trick?

[drowsy crane]

I can't be sure personally, I've never needed a farm, I can't seem to run out of wood/eyes/sap.

[lethal swift]

the other option is spamming campfires around it the farm in a large enough area nothing spawns if you get raided

[lethal swift]

resin and eyes i never run out of but im always out of wood somehow

never stone tho

[royal shale]

are there any preconditions for a vegvisir to appear in stonehenges? so far I haven't found any with it

[drowsy crane]

None, you're just getting unlucky

[sharp cobalt]

Sounds like an idea.

Thank you for the input everyone.

[white slate]

is meadows good place to build a main base for first playthrough?

i like the area, it's chill but idk how annoying it is to constanly leave there to explore

[sharp cobalt]

Had mainbase in Meadows multiple times, really chill indeed. If you find one in between other bigger biomes, you dont have to go to far to get minerals for example.

[wanton hawk]

Guys i have question regarding coop. Can my friend play on server i created if im not online?

[compact heath]

not if you are hosting it from your game, it has to be a dedicated server on your computer or through a hosting service, if its hosted from within your game and your turn that off that no one can join

[compact heath]

yes but ideally near the sea and relatively close (not too close) to a black forest thats not just 10x10m big

[white slate]

thanks im very close to forest (maybe too close because sometimes trolls come around my base lol)

but not close to sea, i shall move and build a real main base

[compact heath]

imo helps a lot to be able to transport things to your base by ship, like a viking 🙂

[wanton hawk]

Im not really sure how can i do it in a way so me and my friend can play it separately. Can you share more info?

[compact heath]

you can pay someone to host for you a third party service, or host it on a spare PC (not sure if that works super well if its on same PC you play with) with I think a separate dedicated server client you have to set up. Third party is easier, but you have to pay them but you don't need a spare PC that you need to have turned on 24/7 then

some people just open the game up as a server while they play, but if you do that your friend can't play when you close the game, but it works for some

might be more into to find in the channel #dedicated-server as well

[wanton hawk]

Understood, thanks alot man! It was a really great help!

[woven sparrow]

do rain spawned serpents just not let themselves be dragged over a certain radius of their spawnpoint?
genuinely can't drag them beyond a certain point, they always loose interest even if i let them bite the boat and go on oar alone

do i just need to hope for a closer spawn if i want to trap them in my harbor?

[steep tusk]

Literally anywhere you build you will have to constantly leave to go explore.

[white slate]

yuh but i meant like how far you have to run and back everytime

[steep tusk]

That will be the same as well. 🤷‍♂️

Like when you first move anywhere, it seems shorter. And then you consume everything in the immediate area and boom, back to making longer treks.

So you either accept that and just base wherever you feel like it.
Or you accept that and never build a single permanent base and always be on the move.

🤷‍♂️

[compact heath]

I sometimes build a base in every biome as well, just cause. But a base near ocean, on a plains shore, beneath the mountain, with black forest and swamp on the other 2 sides can make your travel needs significantly less, but not easy to find a perfect biome intersection

[steep tusk]

Being near the ocean is essential unless you allow portalling everything.

[lethal swift]

does ||queen|| spawn less enemies if you resummon her a second time because it feels like it

attempting to farm the mistlands food stuff from the enemies she spawns and it felt like the first time she would do her ||spit beam attack that spawns broods|| like every 30s and summon normal enemies about that often; now on the second time she only summons normal enemies like once a minute and i havent seen her do that first attack a single time (ive been in here for like 20m)

she will also randomly just sit there and stare into a wall :/

[cold crane]

What food item?

[lethal swift]

the ||royal jelly from killing seeker broods||

[cold crane]

Ah ok, it respawns in the caves just go back through and grab it again.

[lethal swift]

i am well aware but that was also not the question

the question was does she spawn less enemies if you resummon her

[cold crane]

Yea sorry i didn’t know the answer to that part so I answered the part that wasn’t asked my bad.

[lethal swift]

nah is ok

[ripe pebble]

Is there any word on the Ashlands stuttering sound bug? I feel it's getting worse every day. We don't use mods. We play vanilla. I don't remember this being an issue when I did my playthrough when Ashlands came out.

Please note the issue starts after we enter a Putrid Cave, and then continues after we leave. Going home to the Meadows and then coming back to Ashlands seems to "fix" the problem, but only until the next cave.

[ripe pebble]

Scratch that, when we got over lava to get to flametal, the music stutters again.

[tender silo]

Anyone having issues as off rate now with there dedicated server were it cant register lobby ?

wait wrong chat my bad

[lethal swift]

am i stupid or if forge capped at level 6

its level 1 base and theres 6 upgrades so it should be level 7

but i have all 6 placed and it doesnt go above level 6

[steep tusk]

It should be at 7 if they are all in radius.

You have screenshot?

[crude fog]

I'm having an issue where I've failed to connect to a server I've previously had no issue connecting to

I've tried the basics of restarting and verifying files as well as a modem reset but nothing has helped thus far

[gusty slate]

Any tips for finding bears quicker? I've killed like 10 now tonight and no trophy and its taking me like 20 minutes between each to find one

And I noticed they aren't spawning in previous spots that i've killed them a couple days now before. So it's like I gotta keep finding new black forests

[steep tusk]

./spawn Bear 😏

[gusty slate]

Without cheats preferably lol

Though tbf I did try save scumming only to find out it won't work

[lethal swift]

ya it fixed itself, i just had to pick them up and put them back down

sorry late reply i got dragged away for irl stuff for a moment or few

[steel summit]

hi guys my gf and i are 18 hours in then we died in a situation where getting items back would be very hard, so i used console commands to get it back. recently she cant join, getting "failure to connect" issues when we never had it before. i see that others have the same error message. any help would be appreciated

[spare ravine]

to find bears, throw away your leftovers in the trash

I'm helpful

[gusty slate]

Upon reading this one did spawn lol. Unfortunately no trophy

Least im getting my practice in with these new fists ig

[steep tusk]

Imagine if bears were naturally attracted to the Obliterator 😄

[spare ravine]

zapped bears

that would be funny actually, they want to mess with it and theres a fifty fifty chance of activating it

[rustic wadi]

Me and my friend are also having this problem, it seemed to maybe be triggered by the recent windows update? I can’t even join a server if he tries hosting one. All the information online varies so much and is difficult to understand 😵‍💫

[gusty slate]

Little did I know I was about to punch a 1 star in the rear. Still no trophy but for anyone who was struggling like I, I found you can cheese them by hiding in catacomb entrances lol

[spare ravine]

Thats when they use the eye beams

[steel summit]

we restarted pc and it worked. idk

[plucky pollen]

How does the water level in this game work? Will I always hit water no matter where I go down?

[surreal pagoda]

It's a fixed level everywhere. But since you can only modify the terrain so much from the default level, you won't be able to get deep enough to hit water unless you're starting pretty low down already
