[full mesa]

check your dm

@sullen hollow I kinda over complicated this lmao

But I'm pretty sure you get what I mean atleast

[eager mango]

can you world skip with a 2 star wolf in your inventory to get it into another world?

[gleaming sun]

whats a good way to get coins
like a lotta coins

[eager mango]

so you can't take wolves in your inventory?

[gleaming sun]

what

[eager mango]

wym

[gleaming sun]

who r u talking to

i just asked about coins

[eager mango]

I just asked about wolves

[gleaming sun]

yeah well why did u ping me

[eager mango]

well you replied w the coins

[gleaming sun]

i didnt reply to you

this is #valheim-help i asked a question

where did i reply to anyone

[eager mango]

I'm js messing XD

[gleaming sun]

what is wrong w u bruh

[eager mango]

crypts give you gold

sell treasure to traders

[tired root]

Run some dungeons, raid fuling villages, hunt trolls etc.
Hint: you can use love potion (sold by Bog Witch) for increasing troll spawn rate and make them spawn with at least 1 star when you're 2000m outside from center.

[languid bison]

I know its not 2 Star, but I got my first wolf trapped

Unfortunately I can't see the taming bar. Even after it already ate

[tired root]

You need to be next to it to see how much % it has tamed.

[obsidian prawn]

So I put 2 hogs in a pen and feeded them so there those little hearts above them but it's been 5 ingame days without a mini-hog, is this normal? Do they not love eachother?

[subtle parrot]

Did they tame already?

[fiery lichen]

If anyone know please tell me the best armor/weapon set it game

[frosty frost]

The ones from ashlands 🙂
There is quite a number of gear and weapon pieces so you will have to try them out and choose for yourself
-# Certain pieces from earlier bimes might proove usefull too in certain situations tho

[fiery lichen]

Do you have any suggestions like good ones

[tired root]

That's subjective, but Fenris, Bear, Vilebone and Ask sets are my favorites.

[fiery lichen]

Ok thank you both

[tired root]

Or like Asatru said, in terms of armor rate or other stats the Ashlands ones are the current "best".

[full mesa]

Once you tame this one find a 2** wolf, dont bother with 1* wolf

And let the pair produce a 2star which then you can ahem... oof the other one and let only 2star offsprings give birth

[hollow jackal]

Which weapons are best to fight bears and trolls, i only have bronze 🙂

[true steeple]

Atgeir for trolls, sword for bears

[tired root]

Once you kill 2 bears use their own weapons (paws) against them.

[true steeple]

I forgot about those

[tired root]

Sword still strong but axe also suffices. 👍

[hollow jackal]

I have crafted them, but are they any good? They feel weak lol, but they do bonus dmg against bears then?

[bright rampart]

Hey guys, i have a question regarding performance. I already have gfx jobs enabled in boot. Generally i get a pretty stable 160fps (max settings 4k) and it takes about 60-70% usage on gpu. Yesterday i finished my base build which is around 8000 instances. I noticed the frames drop to 90fps or so when around it which is totally playable but also noticed gpu usage drops to around 30-40% when around the base. If anything shouldnt it take more? I dont get why it doesnt throttle the gpu when near the base to keeo the normal frame rate. CPU never rly goes above 30%

[languid bison]

Is it random which parent gives birth each time?

[astral finch]

Unfortunately, the game’s still not as stable as we’d like, it’s nothing on your end

[bright rampart]

Ahh gotcha. Thats unfortunate. At least it does seem like its better since the last big update. Last year i had way more frame drop issues

[astral finch]

There are different mods for FPS issues, but you’ll have to try them out

[drowsy crane]

This sounds like VRM throttling to me.

[bright rampart]

Could you explain? Im not familiar with the term

[drowsy crane]

VRM throttling occurs when a motherboard's Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) overheats, forcing it to reduce power to the CPU or GPU to prevent damage, causing severe performance drops, stuttering, and lower frame rates, especially during demanding tasks like gaming or rendering, often due to insufficient cooling or poor board design.

[astral finch]

In my opinion, if you’re not having this issue in other games, you can ignore it

[sullen hollow]

i am sorry man i had an emergency situation

[drowsy crane]

It can easily be fixed though, strange advice.

[sullen hollow]

no AHHAHAHA but i wish you can do it with another animal in ashlands btw but unfortuneatly not with wolf

[sullen hollow]

is love potion effective for farming gold ?

[astral finch]

I’ve been playing this game for a long time, and my system is above average, but as the number of instances increases, you can still run into issues like this. The problem is with the game, not us.

[sullen hollow]

to be honest with copper age thats a great acomplishment man especialy if you didnt die during this

[bright rampart]

Ok but… how? Mind you when i am in a normal zone i can push up to 240fps or so stable and it goes to 90-100% gpu usage no problem. In only throttles down near the base. Temps are at 60 for the gpu and 45 on the cpu when capped at 160, 75-78 and 55-60 when running uncapped

[drowsy crane]

8000 instances isn't a lot, and certainly doesn't explain -70fps in most cases.

[sullen hollow]

if it had hearts shaped particles on him its mean its taming but a good note its should not be aggroved to eat (he should be not aware of an player around him)

[drowsy crane]

How does VRM work or?

[sullen hollow]

there is no best armor set but you can mix things to get better results for against spesific biomes and enemeies

[bright rampart]

Im mostly wondering why its happening only near the base, cause out of what you told me the vrm throttles when overheated yes? but if it doesnt overheat and throttle when running at 95-100% on the gpu and 60% or such on the cpu whats the logic?

Im just trying to udnerstand how it works

[drowsy crane]

Not necessarily overheating, just to prevent overheating it will kick in at certain temperatures. You can underclock your CPU until you find more stability, though it will take some trial and error.

[sullen hollow]

its random has chance percentages like
if parents
1 star and no star
1 star %50 no star %50
if parents 2 star and no star
%33 2 star %33 one star %33 no star ? not sure something like it
2 star and 1 star
%50 - %50 like kinda thing

[bright rampart]

The cpu never climbs above 55-60 degrees tho

[drowsy crane]

That's a fairly decent indicator of your VRM threshold.

[eager mango]

Which animal

[sullen hollow]

do you want a spoiler

||not exactly the animal itsself but its egg || spoiler for ashlands

[sullen hollow]

.

[eager mango]

I already beat fader

Finished the game

[eager mango]

The massive eggs?

[sullen hollow]

||i take asksvin 2 star egg and transported to another world you can transtport them || just hided for the other players

[eager mango]

Got a ton of those but didn't know what to do w those

[sullen hollow]

||not the vulture eggs if you tame an askvin they do not give birth they eggs like chicken||

so if you tame one you can transport them to any valheim world

or location you have to wait for them to grow tho

||https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Asksvin_egg|| you can check the wiki if you want here is the article

[eager mango]

Ohh

Does the vulture egg hatch?

[sullen hollow]

nuh its not its only edible

btw try to avoid writing ashlands contents open here there is a lot new players its not neceserly tho XD

[sullen hollow]

||only chicken egg and askvins eggs are hatcheable || at least for now

[bright rampart]

Is there any way i can check something in the computer logs see if its thermal throttling the vrm?

[sullen hollow]

i wouldnt say no to hatcheable troll eggs tho

[eager mango]

Kk

[drowsy crane]

I'm on my way to work, so I can't get too deep at the moment, but there is plenty of guides and information surrounding this online. I would just suggest looking into CPU clock drop monitoring and underclocking CPU.

I will see if I can find anything helpful during my first break.

[languid bison]

Thank you :)

[fiery lichen]

Alr

[sullen hollow]

if you have spesific question i can advice but its always subjective

[fiery lichen]

I just wanted to know good build to fight against hard bosses like the skeleton idk it's name but ye

And weapon,shield

[sullen hollow]

for example for best defense in mistlanse
heavy helmet
Root Harnesk
heavy pants

[sullen hollow]

3 th boss ?

some bosses have weakness and resistances

[fiery lichen]

Morgen

[sullen hollow]

ahahahah for ashlands i suppose

[sullen hollow]

so morgen is hitting a lot of pierce damage

if you are having hard time with them root harnesk is a litteral cheese

[sullen hollow]

if you use root harnesk in ashlands you gonna be
stronger against
||Fallen Valkry
Morgens
Warriors
archers
vultures||
weaker against
||Twitchers
Warlocks
Blobs
Askvins they are gonna be a major threat tho before ashlands nerf askvins was dominating me||

[bright rampart]

Ill do some research on my end. So far i been looking into the specs of my motherboard which is an x870 aorus elite wifi7. Vrm throttling shouldnt be a thing until 90C and under heavy load the vrm averages 76c in most cases from what im reading which is way off the throttle limit and im not overclocking anything so its wierd. Yeeey pc troubleshooting xD

[fiery lichen]

Thank you so much and 1 more question is yagluth harder than morgen

[sullen hollow]

if you ahve inventory space to spare you could use 2 chestplates switching between them

[fiery lichen]

Ok

[sullen hollow]

one of them is a boss one of them is a mob to be honest yagluth easier for me but its subjective i think

[fiery lichen]

Alr thanks again

[sullen hollow]

you should definitly check the Tossacoin's video btw he shows all the numbers etc.

[drowsy crane]

Yeah I've had this situation a couple times myself, I suspect you're using a prebuilt PC? That's been the case for both times I had to underclock.

[bright rampart]

Yeeeepp

[obsidian prawn]

Can I see somewhere what recepies I just unlocked if I missed them top left when I picked something up?

[bright rampart]

I can send you the full spec sheet

[sullen hollow]

i think there is not a thing in game for its if you ask in game i think best way is checking every single tool and workbench

there could be a web site like thing maybe but no idea

[visual ivy]

I have noob question, do I need multiple vents to air out like a fireplace or do I really just need one airspace? Does it have to come out the roof or does the sides work well?

[sullen hollow]

one is enough

but i think you can make more ventilation points

[tidal geyser]

Smoke is weird. If your roof is very high you can get away with having no airspace. Side airspaces work, but require a bit more height as smoke will collect in the ceiling before drifting sideways, this can result in the fire getting snuffed if the ceiling is too low.

[ruby oar]

the physical hitbox of smoke particles is 1x1x1 meter big so if holes are needed, they gotta be big enough for smoke to fit through, and not have a rim preventing the smoke from slipping through - smoke always tries to push upwards as it moves so the ceiling geometry kinda has to guide it out

[visual ivy]

Thank you

[languid bison]

Is it possible to fortify this base? Its close to the sea and I raised the ground to cover a brook. But according to a video of Snazzy Games I should build a deep moat around my base

[tidal geyser]

Deep moats are very effective at breaking enemy pathing, which is the best way to keep your base safe. The moat doesn't need to be super deep, the wall of raised earth just needs to be steep enough that mobs can't climb it. You could just use walls to fortify your base, but as you progress you'll be raided by tougher and tougher enemies with increasing capability to destroy them. Most people opt for some sort of raised earth protection because it can never be destroyed (save for some very specific enemies that only spawn in very specific biomes)

[languid bison]

Should I change location?

[drowsy crane]

Just utilize the stakewalls, the moats make half of the base defense options pointless, and makes the game very passive.

Enemies aren't difficult to defeat anyways. 👍

[tidal geyser]

You could stay there for now and relocate later on, you'll probably need to relocate later anyway, to a bigger base, or a different biome (to farm certain resources, many people will often build a base for such purposes)

[languid bison]

Is that deep enough for now?

[languid bison]

Plains I assume will be a good location?

[tidal geyser]

a plains base is handy to have, aye. Some people look for a place between Plains and Mistlands, that way you can have one base to farm both. The tricky thing with being so close to water level is it means enemies can swim over rather than falling in, you may need to raise the edge a little to make sure it's steep enough that they can't climb it

[marble roost]

Play how you want, a moat is not required at all. It’s rare your base gets raided and when it does it doesnt last for long and you can fight them off.

Some walls around the base could be good if you wanna feel more safe

[sullen hollow]

to be honest there is no need for extreme base defences if you dont leave afk but if you afk or things smiliar moats and raising ground helps a lot

[sullen hollow]

to be honest you never need any more defense than a wooden stake wall thats just enough

except the ashlands tho

[languid bison]

My main problem is, I'd like to do a little afk for breeding or just terraform a little, but I now have the 4th raid in 2 hours

[marble roost]

IMO moats are a bit silly. Theyre basically used to break the enemy’s AI so they can never ever get to you. But at that point if you just want to ignore enemies there’s also an option to just turn raids off

[marble roost]

Oof thats unlucky

[languid bison]

All my boars got killed during the last raid. And right now there is a raid again

[sullen hollow]

so then you need to raise ground at least but to be honest i recomend you to quit and change world modifiers to no raid when you gonna be afk

[sullen hollow]

its the best solution

[languid bison]

I know, right :(
Boaris is dead

[languid bison]

Just did that. Thank you :)

[sullen hollow]

most players dont like raid and turn it off and never open them i found most of them quite boring except few

[ornate finch]

That's normal behaviour in Valheim.
Game gathers data on a single thread, which is why you won't see high CPU usage (other cores not utilised much).
When this single thread is overloaded, such is the case around large bases, CPU can't feed the GPU, so GPU usage is also low, and FPS is lower.
Playing in d3d11 and gfx tweaks is currently the best way. If you want to boost FPS more in large bases you can consider installing mods that remove structural mechanics.

[languid bison]

Most raids?

[bright rampart]

whats d3d11?

[ornate finch]

You can launch the game in Vulkan or d3d11 (default) renderer

[sullen hollow]

i like some raids like hilders bosses geirrafa / zil and thunder

thunger? not sure

[languid bison]

Reminds me that I wanted to do the Brenna boss fight.

[full mesa]

[kindred frigate]

Hi, i just tried to transfer steam saves via a second installement of valheim through gamepass ultimate to XBox. But without success. Transfering saves from XBox zo Steam id possible but not from steam to XBox. What went wrong?

On PC i have both Valheims Steam and Microsoft, installed. The Microdoft Version recognizes the Steam saves immediatley. Then i transfer those files in the XBox Cloud. I have Gamepass Ultimate. But nor on the XBox Console, nor via Cloudstreaming with Gamepass Ultimate the save could be found.

[drowsy crane]

Before I underclocked my CPU I had a similar issue, now I only drop 15-20 FPS(as opposed to 50-60) in my 14k instance base. Hardware throttles can inherently affect how Valheim handles it's data.

[ornate finch]

If you moved saves from Local to Xbox Cloud in the PC Xbox app, they should appear on your Xbox console as well.
Since you gant force Xbox Pc app when to force sync and upload those saves to actually Xbox Cloud, you should leave the game closed, and Xbox PC app opened for an hour. Gameservices.exe process is responsible for uploading those saves.

[kindred frigate]

Ok. I will wait about an hour and check again. I did it exaxctly in this way.

[keen vessel]

hey, so uhm, i made a surtling farm thats is very near a bog witch (around 20-30m), however when i do stand in the safe zone, they do no spawn, do i need to make an afk room somewhere outside the safe zone for the farm to work?

[frosty frost]

Do you have a portal or workbench near the geysir perhaps?

[keen vessel]

nope

[frosty frost]

Hmm, afaik there shouldnt be anything in the bog witch hut that prevents spawns 🤔

And if there isnt anything blcking spawns the surtlings should spawn every 5 minutes if i remember correctly

[keen vessel]

i stood there for like 15-20 mins and got 0 spawns, i started going to my portal, and right as i passed the geysir they spawned

[frosty frost]

That is weird, your distance to the geysir also shouldnt matter as long as it is loaded

[keen vessel]

i couldnt find any info on it online, thought i hit the jackpot with an afk spot like this one

[frosty frost]

Are you using any mods? That is only thing i can think of could mess with this.

[languid axle]

Heya, hoping someone more knowledgeable than I can help me rq, I'm trying to place down a shield generator for my Ashlands base but it's claiming the generator needs more room when it absolutely doesn't. I can place it fine closer to one end of the room, but if I try moving it out beyond a certain point it just goes red claiming theres now not enough room even though it's in the middle of a LARGE open room. It's on solid ground, I'm hoping theres just something that I've missed that I can fix. Getting this placed in a good spot is the last step till I figure the base is more or less done

[sullen hollow]

i think its due to ship flag

[frosty frost]

Try to move the Drakkar

[sullen hollow]

i think the same

[languid axle]

See, I thought that too but even after I moved the ship it was doing the same thing and turning red at the same spot so it's not that

[wooden jacinth]

So what's the purpose of Tankard and Horn of Celebration? Skål? 🤔

[sullen hollow]

so maybe its not suported enough like thing maybe i dont think so but even tho

could 2 different shield generator placed close to each other is there a limitation ?

[frosty frost]

To be able to have one tool in your hotbar that can drink all meads you have in your inventory, downside is that you cant really choose which one taht will be. (well you can technically i think but you have to be familiar in the order it picks the mead)

[sullen hollow]

because there is another one at right ?

[frosty frost]

They dont interfere with each other, they even connect the bubbles if they are close to each other

[sullen hollow]

just maybe there is a limitation at some point ?

[frosty frost]

That would break it, not give the space meassage 🤔

[wooden jacinth]

I gotta try this! I thought it was a silly tool for decorate your table. lol

[sullen hollow]

yeah probably even tho i think its worth to try

[hallow plaza]

does anyone have any up to date info on boar farms and animal vision?

[keen vessel]

no mods, but im playing multiplayer idk if that matters, in a dedicated server

[frosty frost]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Taming#Eating

[frosty frost]

Then no idea, i would make absolutely sure there isnt anything blocking spawns around the geysir and try few more times to afk at the bog witch.

[hallow plaza]

tamed boar vision has been changed
its cool to lnow that some things DONT work, but i'd love to know what does

[keen vessel]

thank you for your time, i will look further into it

[frosty frost]

The vision doesent really matter for eating food, they have to be able to pathfind to it

[hallow plaza]

is there currently a way to allow them to pathfind to the food, while at the same time, keeping them in a spot where the piglets fall down?

[frosty frost]

No idea, i never made these kinds of farm as i never had a reason to

[hallow plaza]

I require large amounts of meat for a wolf farm

moder wont know what hit her

[frosty frost]

Just make normal big pen 😄 it will probably take less time to do that and breed them normally than to faff with auto farms

[hallow plaza]

https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/the-sunk-cost-fallacy

[hallow plaza]

how would I utilize food effectively in a large pen?

[frosty frost]

Well boars chack radius of 10m, so just drop a stack every ~10-15 meters 😄

[hallow plaza]

nut the babies will inhibit more breeding in like, 10 minutes?

[frosty frost]

No idea. I never was into "Lets make this thing as efficient as possible so no second of time is wasted." kind of playstyle in valheim. Just cull them once you think there is too much of them.

[hallow plaza]

its more so i dont have to spend more time manually farming carrots

and a small footprint to fit it in my base

[solemn osprey]

Hey is there a way to report known hacking griefers in the valheim community?

[frosty frost]

Then i recommend to use sausages and not plain meat to breed the wolfs, since that way you will use less meat and therefore you need less carrots to breed boars

[frosty frost]

Not here really, each server is responsible for itself pretty much as there are no oficial public servers

[hallow plaza]

aight, new question, any blocks that animals THINk they can pathfind over / through

[marble roost]

I don't think mobs will try to walk over anything that they can't walk over

Only thing would be if they were walking like a tight beam and other mobs pushed them off or something as they collided

[hollow jackal]

What is the best three foods for black forest and fighting the Elder?

[frosty frost]

Carrot soup, deer stew and either queens jam or minced meat sauce. Depends if you want more health or stamina

[true steeple]

if you don't want to kill a neck you can use bear meat instead of minced meat sauce

[hollow jackal]

Is there a page where you can find all the weaknesses and resistance from all beasts like trolls, bears, wolves etc?

Wiki fandom doesnt contain the info sadly

[frosty frost]

It does, each individual enemy page has it

[true steeple]

the damage page shows modifiers for each damage type too

[frosty frost]

• this one does too https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Creatures

[hollow jackal]

Hmm thanks when i looked at the bear or trolls page it didnt, but this page does 🔥

But it doesnt say here bears are weak to slash or pierce, but i thought they were? Here it only says fire

[frosty frost]

bear site

troll site

[hollow jackal]

Ah i see it is under a dropdown menu on mobile site

You have to press the button first for it to show lol

[frosty frost]

Ah, yeah fandom on mobile is awful

On desktop its just fine 🙂

[hollow jackal]

Does the bear also get staggered from the bronze atgeir second attack as trolls do?

[frosty frost]

Not nearly as easily

[true steeple]

Bears have 33% higher health and take 1/3 of the pierce damage a troll takes

[hollow jackal]

Ah okay, damn, and since bears only get extra damage from fire, its quite hard to fight them head on I presume, with bronze, if you cant stagger them?
Or do you sneak up, attack few times, run away and sneak again?

[true steeple]

Slash is good, use a sword or paws of the bear

Parry or dodge to stay close to them, you don’t need to run away

[hollow jackal]

Will try, but staying close is scary 🤣

[kindred frigate]

I have waited several hours, but it still doesn´t work. It seems, as the files of the XBOX App on the PC , the Microsoft Valheim, is mot communicating or synchronizing with the cloud. I,porting saves from XBos to Steam is possible, but not from steam to XBox consoles. Only the XBox PC App recognizes the steam files, cause they share the same folder obviously. But the PC App eg. corresponding Valheim is not sending the files to the cloud.

[ornate finch]

Were you playing Valheim on Xbox while waiting PC to sync files?

[kindred frigate]

No. I did not. Strange thing is, that Microsoft Valheim sayd it uses about 700mb of the cloud. Which is fine withe save files whereas xbox console valheim says it uses 22kb of the cloud. It must be the same cloud! I really do not understand this thing. Everywhere i was told the exact steps i have to do, but in my case it is not working.

[ornate finch]

Are you sure that you are using the same account on Xbox consoel and Xbox PC app?

Check your signed account on Microsoft store app as well

[obtuse echo]

Any tips for starting the mountains? (Best food, what to go for first, etc)

[quasi vault]

For best food serpent stew and meat, equip the wishbone you got from bonemass and wait for it to blink quickly and dig

[obtuse echo]

With serpents--I've killed one but they run away when I get them down to like one hit

[frosty frost]

They do that if they dont get to attempt to hit you for long time 🙂

[obtuse echo]

Good to know!!

[kindred frigate]

I have only one account. But same question come to my mind, cause it looks so. But its my only account, my name, my profile....so the answer is absolutly its the same account.

[frosty frost]

But if we disregard serpents then best food would be sausages, turnip stew and either black soup or muck shake, depending if you want more hp or stamina 🙂

[kindred frigate]

By the way, i am able to use cloud streaming via gamepass ultimste andthere it is also not working. For example, i can open xbox App rigjt on smart tv and start valheim there vias streaming...samething, no transfered saves in the cloud.

[kindred frigate]

And the other way transfering x box saves to steam is working.....tjis is so strange

[ornate finch]

I'm not suprised that it's not syncing properly.
I had my fair share of issues with game services not working as needed.
You might need to reinstall them. Before thatn, can you paste a screenshot of your manage save menu on the Xbox PC app, showcasing how saves you want to transfer look like there?

[inland spruce]

hey guys, i cant click on the "visible to others players" in the map and neither my friends; we are using a few mods like valheim plus but until yesterday it was working perfectly, does anyone know how to help us?

[kindred frigate]

Yes. Here it comes scteenshot from the pc app on my pc. It says its using around 700mb from cloud, but i am more or less sure, it is not sending the files to the cloud.

[ornate finch]

Looks good. Try loading into the world once on PC, then exit the game.
Go start → apps → find game services (different name in german) and try to repair the app or reinstall

You might also want to check that it's updated under Microsoft store →downloads

[kindred frigate]

I appreciate your efforts. I already found arepair tool in the pc app and used it....it says everything fine...what makes me so made, there are other people who did this 2 or 3 years ago and it worked acording to youtube videos about this stuff...hopefully itwill work with the playstation, when Valheim is released on PS. I think many players want to transfer their worlds from pc to console

[kindred frigate]

I also tried to reinstall nothing. It is not working, seems i have to surrender for now.

[sharp pendant]

I've been playing valheim for sometime with my partner and we’ve been having synchronization issues despite literally sharing the same internet. Is their a way to fix this?

[frosty frost]

Try to remove all mods and try again, then put them back on one by one until you get to the one causing problems.

[inland spruce]

found a solution by verifying game files and then opening the game, it worked. thanks for the help dude, appreciate it!

[surreal star]

i’m not sure if this is the right chat, but can somebody help me build a house later tonight? i have the corewood im just newer and dont know how to build a good comfort house and all of that stuff

[abstract eagle]

comfort comes from the things that are in the house like chair, bed, decorations, etc, not from the house itself or its size. Just think of a regular house and make something that resembles it. Start small then expand, you'll learn and then get better

[late bear]

Hey do I need each lvl improvement for forge to use it, or if I can make lvl 4 improvement I don’t need to place lvl 2 and 3

[frosty frost]

Each upgrade raises the workstation lvl by 1, so you need all of them to have full level

[late bear]

Ok

[late bear]

Do you make many houses with like lvl 4 station or not

Or whatever, like just high lvl

[frosty frost]

Since i usually just do one main base, i stick to one of each workstations

So i have all of them full level

[late bear]

Yeye. But I found better base I think although a little risky

It’s small meadows but it’s next to plains swamp mountain and Black Forest

[frosty frost]

No problem with moving main base and having the first one just as a backup/outpost 😄

[late bear]

But I raised ground and hopefully those mosquitos won’t invade

The goblins tried to before though

[frosty frost]

For those walls will be more than enough 🙂
And if you want to be even on safer side of things you could put campfires or workbenches around your base as a spawn prevention

[late bear]

Might do

But they destroy it often so idk if I wanna do it

[frosty frost]

Thats why campfires are good choice 😄 enemies dont attack them on sight

[late bear]

Okey

But I need to put fire there

I mean wood

[subtle parrot]

You don't need to keep the fires lit to prevent spawns

[late bear]

Oh okey

[ornate finch]

This is not a Valheim issue. Transferring Xbox saves from PC to Xbox Cloud works in general, and it's not done by Valheim app.
I transfer my saves to my Xbox console on regular basis.
However I'm not surprised that you have issues with it, as I had as well in the past. Think I re-installed Xbox app 50 times by now.
Ensure that you don't have VPN running in background (e.g. hamachi makes Xbox services not work). Try PC restart if you already haven't and let me know when you wanna deal with it again. Still many things to try.

[terse pendant]

Anyone here who knows Linux pretty well able to help me? Just switched over to CachyOS and the game runs pretty well, but I can't seem to get the middle click/mouse3 working in game.

[frosty frost]

Folks in #linux might be able to help 😄

[terse pendant]

Thanks!

[wooden jacinth]

mf copper deposit is levitating!!! lmao 🤯

I was expecting to fall by gravity.

This method is not optimal at all... Quite the opposite! 😂

[livid mortar]

It will be, once you find the right spot to break all of that at once.

[true steeple]

The areas that check for terrain are larger than the model for performance reasons

[visual ivy]

hi im new but where do you get eggs??? i never seen a chicken

[quasi vault]

There is no chickens wandering around but you can either buy them from haldor at one point or find them at the bottom of a very tall structure

[marble roost]

Need to get to mid-late game. Can't get them before progressing well into the plains biome

[visual ivy]

Ohhh thank you!

[robust quiver]

Do any of you have functioning eitr refiners where you don't have a cage surrounding the entire thing? I'm trying to integrate a refiner into an existing crafting room, but I don't want to have to encase the entire device in iron bars/black marble. I have seen it done before but I can't seem to find anything on the web.

by functioning, i dont just mean they work, i mean they arent destroying anything around them.

[subtle parrot]

Need roughly 2m between the ground and trees and rocks around the whole vein for it to gravity pop

[subtle parrot]

Since the refinery randomly fires off in many directions it's hard to keep it from damaging things around it if it isn't surrounded by iron cage or marble. I usually just make it it's own structure.

[tawny solar]

You could have it outside on an elevated platform so that the random blasts shoot into the sky

[robust quiver]

I could, and it would totally work. But, then it would be build outside of the area I'm trying to integrate it into.

More or less trying to figure out how much of the iron cage needs to cover the refiner in order for it to not damage anything around it.

[tawny solar]

You just need iron bars around it at any place or just have a black marble room or just a black marble roof if you want it inside

[subtle parrot]

I'm not sure about the iron cages, but i like to build a marble structure around it and it seemed like only 1m isn't enough to keep all the sparks from escaping but 2m of marble did. However the refinery was clipped into the marble so that may have been why it leaked in some places.

[robust quiver]

I noticed that it definitely does damage regardless of how much cage or marble I have around it, if its clipped into the floor or wall.

[subtle parrot]

Kinda like this, but this is a bit over built

[robust quiver]

That looks great! I seriously don't think you could build a safer encloser than that.

[subtle parrot]

It works great

[robust quiver]

I got a smaller cage to work.

I'm going to fiddle with it some more to see how close I can get the iron bars before it starts damaging things. I think as long as nothing is clipping the sap deposit and the eitr deposit, it should work.

Thank you for the help!

[grim cloud]

Question, i am playing solo and i died upon a mountain. I went to where the grave marker said my tombstone should be but it's not there? I have died again after that timbstone and before getting my contents, is it gone forever?

[wary iris]

its possible i havent had tombstones dissapear personally that i can remember

[grim cloud]

Im praying its just a little hidden is some rock crevace

[subtle parrot]

Tombstones shouldn't disappear no matter how many times you die, until you pick up the tombstone. It is potentially possible it clipped into a rock or something maybe though

[viral karma]

Can someone help me out? My friend is trying to host our world but valheim doesn't let him. He said he got a notification saying "Download C+++" or something like that

[grim cloud]

Anyway to check?

[subtle parrot]

If you don't mind using devcommands you can enable those and then use the freefly command to take control of the camera to look around the area it should be, the camera can go through the ground and such in this mode

If it isn't there though, you can use other commands to spawn what you've lost or try loading an older character save from before your death, or recraft what you lost

[grim cloud]

Yeah actuvated commands, dont see it, tried find player gravestone couldnt find it

Couldnt see through the ground tho...

[grim cloud]

Figured it out

Attempting to spawn my stuff back

Saying it cant find stuff tho

[kind sand]

does it make a difference whether I place an iron beam on top of an iron beam or on top of an iron beam with floors inbetween?

[jade anchor]

no as long as the beams themselves are touching eachother

[marble roost]

I think that would kinda break the structural support yeah. I would stack a few iron beams on top of each other, then place floors attached to them. Otherwise they (might?) not connect properly. In any case the important part is just that the beams are touching eachother, as Tyr said

[kind sand]

so, floors connected to or not is not really important as long as they are directly above, ok

thank you

[peak ginkgo]

Made a blank portal and it linked to a strange structure. Help figuring it out.
So we didnt build this structure. we just placed a portal after changing the game mode to casual after dying too many times in the mountain biome. and it linked to this weird cottage thing that we didnt build. we dont even have the roof unlocked to build it yet.

[jagged drift]

that is really odd I've never seen anything like it before

[peak ginkgo]

nvm I was just getting hardcore trolled.

[tired root]

That's what I suspected too.

[eager stream]

Is there HDR settings for Valheim? Can't seem to find any in the menus

[ornate finch]

You would have to enable it in boot.config and you will have to do some experimenting with Windows HDR settings as well after enabling that.

[eager stream]

Okay, thanks! I'm ngl I'm just using auto-HDR for now and im happy with it, but good to know

[late bear]

hey i went into a dung and there was a path i could swim and im trying to go back and i cant swim out, is it a trap and i cant leave it?

[true steeple]

You should be able to swim out, I've never seen this happen before

[late bear]

like i was wiggling trying to get out when i still had full stamin

but im gonna die soon

yeah i died i coultn get out

thats so bs

[subtle parrot]

Occasionally you may run into something like this if a root is blocking the way a little bit. I've had that happen to me once before.

[hallow plaza]

anyone got any boar/ wolf farm designs that work since they changed the food pathfinding

[visual ivy]

can u gain weapon exp by hitting the dummy?

asking beacuse i want bow exp but im assuminng that sthe best way to lvl it?

[tired root]

One can spam arrows on T.W.I.G. too.

Archery target also grants xp but less than hitting the dummy/enemy mob, but arrows are retrievable from it.

[eager robin]

potentially dumb question : can i reinstall valheim " clean" and still keep my savefiles ( aka my world?) or do i need to make a backup first? ( on steam)

[tired root]

Afaik you don't need to, as savefiles are found in AppData folder which doesn't get deleted when uninstalling the game.

[eager robin]

okay good 😉 thanks

[balmy bridge]

@sullen hollow soo i got my 2nd piece of abomination armor now what?

the swamp key's still pissing me off lol

[sullen hollow]

didnt find a dungeon yet ?

[balmy bridge]

no

[sullen hollow]

definitly make the mask

[balmy bridge]

did

[sullen hollow]

you gonna find abominations in other swamps anyway you should be looking for new swamps for dungeons

because without entering them its nearly imposible to keep progressing at least normaly

[balmy bridge]

yeah idid find one
and btw do u remember how u said you have your friend's steam account now?

[sullen hollow]

so sailing time

[sullen hollow]

yeah ? is there something you need help about ?

[balmy bridge]

yeah i want bronze nails...

i HATE getting bronze its the most boring thing ever

[sullen hollow]

hahahaha let me quick check if he is in the game or not

[eager robin]

so another question : can you in theory also place a bonfire in the house?

planning a bigger outpost/ warhall, and yeah, bigger fire more oomph and all that XD

[sullen hollow]

check your dm

[fiery lichen]

Adrenaline rush or eikthyr Power Better?

[eager robin]

another question of my part as well : crypts description suggests farming draugrs with the body piles etc.. suppose only for entrails ( for sausage making)? or am i missing some point?

[ruby oar]

it would only be for entrails and maybe trophies.
if i remember correctly, sausages used to cost more entrails than they do today, so that may have seemed more worth doing at some point than it does now.
-# edit: nope, they cost 4 currently and it certainly was never higher than that, something else about their recipe probably changed then haha
-# edit 2: checking the wayback machine, it may be that their recipe was never different at all and i'm just crazy
personally i never felt the need to actively farm them, you encounter so many just exploring swamps

[eager robin]

well thats what i was thinking as well, since i took out 2 spawners in my current swamp, and they still roam like an overcrowded kindergarden' letting their kids loose XD

[livid mortar]

There has been a time or two I've farmed body piles for elite draugr, since you need a trophy from them to make the iron sledge

[ruby oar]

o damn yea that is a very good reason if you care about that weapon, i don't so i forgot 😅

[tired root]

Or just want to collect all trophies.

[quasi vault]

Or just want to farm coal while leveling weapons. I did that a few times just farming all 3 spawners (covered in raised ground to keep them alive) and all their drops and trophy will give you a good amount of coal in the obliterator

[eager robin]

will we actually get a " better" kind of "floor" or " roof tiles" than the 2x2 wood floorings? ideally i'd want the X beams but you cant use them horizontally unless i missed how?

[true steeple]

If you want a flat roof piece you have to use stone. Any flat wood pieces will let rain damage pieces below them.

[eager robin]

well i do want a " layered" base, and yeah, the ceiling looks rather meh ish

the X would be more pleasing optically ( could prob find a mod but i wanna do without, the most "cheating" i allow is passive when i build a new base XD

[eager robin]

done with it for now.

[dreamy sphinx]

is there an alternative way to download the game for steam? its refusing to update and i've tried just about every fix

[frosty frost]

Do you not have version 0.221.4?

[dreamy sphinx]

last time i played was the ashlands update, but i uninstalled the game now to see if a fresh install would make a difference with the download

[frosty frost]

Latest version is the 0.221.4, which is the Call to Arms update

[lapis terrace]

game have diffrent versions atm for diffrent platforms

some are .4 some .5

[frosty frost]

Which platform/platforms do have the .5? 👀

[lapis terrace]

think it's Xbox 🤔

[dreamy sphinx]

Ok, well it's really a steam issue but searching for a solution gives you a million suggestions. I bet if i could just download it somehow i can copy paste it into the steam folder

[lapis terrace]

clean out the steam cache

logout and login again

restart PC

usual suggested fixes

[dreamy sphinx]

done it all

[lapis terrace]

verify games files?

do you run any mods?

[dreamy sphinx]

No mods, and cant verify since i uninstalled the game now. Getting stuck at 43% every time. It's probably something on my end i'm running windows 7 lol, so likely not worth troubleshooting. Just wanted to see if there was any other way to download it and maybe i could get it to work that way

[spare vault]

Wait you're saying deep north is already out but it's only for xbox?

Almost all neck related ones are by him definitely.

[tired root]

[solid lotus]

hey guys i need help, im somehow stuck under the world and cant move or do anything, and even if i teleport to 000 or do /die i cant leave the ground and move

[bold lynx]

Maybe use console and turn on noclip. I don’t know if it’s a thing but I think so?

[compact heath]

if you have any mods installed I'd first kill those and play without, how did this happen?

[solid lotus]

i fixed it! it happened when i was sailing to the ashlands, the second i crossed the threshold i got sucked beneath the earth and frozen in place. to fix it i backed up my previous saves for my character and world.

yeah i have like 37 mods installed so that is my absolute last resort second to fully uninstalling and reinstalling

[tired root]

IIRC floating items mod is culprit for Drakkar sinking in Ashlands spicy ocean.

what would you guys do in this situation

[solid lotus]

I DO HAVE THAT, dude thank you i was wondering what caused it.

[tired root]

I'm not mod user myself but have witnessed that happening with people using that mod. Afaik the mod author hasn't fixed that persistent bug in the mod. That's sadly the case with some mods, messing with the game unexpectedly.
In the future you might want to ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 👍

[glad coyote]

just purchased the valheim official soundtrack via steam, can i benefit from it in game somehow or do i just play it in the steam app?

[subtle parrot]

It's just the soundtrack of the songs in game, afaik there's nothing extra otherwise

[wooden jacinth]

Hmm... I'm trying to build a Hearth at the center of my longhouse, but it selfdestroys.

🤔 I wonder what's happening.

[ruby oar]

probably a lack of stability, it needs to be placed on stone, metal or the ground (or core wood if it has blue stability, so just barely)

don't recommend the core wood approach upon testing, it's really unreliable, can only get it to stand on a 2 meter log 😅

[wooden jacinth]

Aw... I want it on a floating wooden floor but I don't how to stabilize it without sacrificing space.

[compact heath]

it can't be floating as such needs to be "grounded", not sure if it can get stabilised by connecting to iron wood, i usually build mine on stone floor as that works 100% (iron wood I didn't test yet)

[wooden jacinth]

That's where I want it.

The first image is the main hall of the longhouse. I built a "secret" basement below to have my portal.

[marble roost]

Probably need a stone pillar. At least that’s what I do

Iron beam could be interesting if it works, since you might be able to do that horizontally from the stone wall

Or maybe the stone arch piece could extend from the stone wall to hold the hearth

[wooden jacinth]

Oh... Stone arches sound like a good idea!

Better yet! Haha Finally!

Thanks, guys. I was struggling with this one.

[north kindle]

why is the swamp so brutal

[subtle parrot]

It is a steep learning curve, but it'll get easier once you get used to it

[marble roost]

@true steeple Why are your cousins lookin' so blue? You should do something to cheer them up!

[compact heath]

I think because some significant new things happen, I was scared of it too, much more than trolls, I didn't know how to deal with leeches and that you can just step out of the water and they can't go on land, then you have the big bad in the swamp that can be scary, you don't know their weakness (its not pierce = bow like with trolls) and that, then for the first time the night monsters in the swamp are real scary. But you also get new tools to deal with all of that after a while, and now its one of my favourite biomes.

[wooden jacinth]

NooooOooo... I lost my Yule tree!! 😭 👌

I was rebuilding my longhouse and now I can't built the Yule tree anymore.

[compact heath]

Just build the maypole instead, in about 3.5 months... or use devcommands for the tree if you are on solo world and don't mind a little cheesy cheaty thing.

[wooden jacinth]

Hmm... What about changing the date of your computer? Would that work?

[compact heath]

I think it might, easy to test this!

[dense raft]

Any help? I am trying to get my game started after a while but its not starting up for some reason. Tried to "Play Valheim" then "Play with Vulkan" and neither work.

I've verified the files, uninstalled, reinstalled, you name it. The thing just won't start up.

[swift ingot]

what do you need to successfully melee a bear?

i went in with a copper knife and a wood shield with some troll gear and got absolutely murdered through blocks

[rugged sandal]

i did it easily in iron gear.

[rugged sandal]

what is happening? absolutely nothing? blank screen? spinning cursor? what GPU and are drivers updated? afaik vulcan drivers have something to do with Linux

[swift ingot]

think full bronze can do it?

[rugged sandal]

no

[marble roost]

a fully upgraded wooden shield can for sure parry a bear. A lvl 1 one might as well. Only the sideswipe though because its pretty low damage

The overhead slams and bite might need a fully levelled bronze shield or something

Food (health) matters too. I'd at least eat two health foods when trying to parry a bear

[swift ingot]

ive been eating deer+boar+raspberries since is tarted playing, havent thought much about it tbh, are those foods good enough?

im going to make a full suit of bronze tomorrow and try my best to melee the guy

[compact heath]

Deer boar raspberries is not even the best for meadows, I'd go for something much better in Black Forest!

Honey is better than raspberries in total stats by quite a bit

[swift ingot]

I was saving honey for mead

[merry vector]

make a hive with a queen bee and you will have plenty of honey when it comes time for mead

[swift ingot]

On it

[wooden jacinth]

Is there a (legit) way to delete or detroy an item?

[merry vector]

not vanilla. you can with some mods

sorry, im wrong . .you can with the obliterator

[spare vault]

Alternatively, leave it somewhere outside of a base item radius for a while and it'll despawn

[light shore]

First time in the swamps, overstayed, got killed by a wraith. Now I read "don't go/stay in the swamps at night as a low level player" but sometimes you can't leave on time. Now should I actually just go in and out in time or should I build a small base there? Like am I save from swamp enemies in a basic house with a fire?

[tired root]

Portal on top of sunken crypt has been safe option for me so far.

You can also build small outpost on top of that, or around those big trees that has terrain level stability for building.

[light shore]

Are exposed portals attacked and destroyed by enemies? Or can I just put down a portal and it's safe?

[compact heath]

put a small base on an indestructible tree, fully enclosed its safe, if you have a special new metal you can also make a fire up in the tree

[tired root]

You could surround them with walls, what enemies cannot see they cannot attack either (on purpose).

[gleaming sun]

Will the 1.0 deep north update be the last update?

[plain lava]

it will be the last progression update

[tired root]

Yeah, progression vise as it's the last biome in order.

[languid bison]

Can I find 2 star boars near world spawn?

[tired root]

Near (inside 800m radius from center) you can find starred boars only at boar stones and some ruined villages where they might have one time spawners. Outside the radius they can spawn randomly with stars.

[languid bison]

Thank you. I think there are two or three stones near me

Is the boar respawning near runestones still bugged?

[tired root]

I don't think there is bug involved, they just can spawn randomly anywhere in meadows.

[gleaming sun]

i kinda want to add someting to my base. What should i build?

[glad current]

What do you have so far?

[drowsy crane]

A portal hub

[lapis terrace]

Due to exessive spam of scam-bots in this channel. I've temporary removed the posibility to embed files here.
will see if they stop or find another channel to "spam"

[ruby oar]

they'll find another channel, it's probably an automated system

[lapis terrace]

it is. but I want to find out what triggers them to post here 🤔

[solid lotus]

maybe make joining have a small typing requirement? like you have to make a joke about a recent meme or something?

[frosty frost]

Isnt it just spam to all channels they can embed things? 🤔

[lapis terrace]

doesn't help

these accounts are legit accounts who fall for these scams and fall for the trick

[solid lotus]

have you noticed anything that the cant do or clues you in that theyre a bot? maybe use that as a joining req like a kinda captcha

[ruby oar]

yea compromised accounts rarely join a server after being compromised

[solid lotus]

wait, theyre just real people that got bamboozled?

[lapis terrace]

yup

[wooden jacinth]

Is it necessary to have the forge at Lv. 7 when everything I’ve upgraded only requires up to Lv. 5? 🤔

[tired root]

Plains tier equipment will require forge lvl 7 for full upgrades.

So eventually you probably want to have it at that level.

[frosty frost]

Look into id:customize real quick 😉

[livid mortar]

Oh, that's this server. Never mind.

why my portals refuse to connect

same tag

[thorn spire]

tags are case sensitive.

Also, you can have more than 2 portals with the same tag, but only the first two will connect.

[spare lichen]

there are no other portals with this name

and its the exact same name

[thorn spire]

not sure. Got any mods running?

[spare lichen]

a few but the portal was working just now, i changed it's place and it broke

[thorn spire]

I'm going to say it's likely an issue with mods then. Try asking in #mods-issues or #mods-discussion

[spare lichen]

its not a mod issue, this problem used to happen even before i installed mods

[thorn spire]

dunno then.

[raven lantern]

At this time, does anyone know how many unique objects are in the game? Like if I wanted a Matrix style warehouse with rows and rows of storage, how many chests do I need to have a chest holding only one type of item?
https://thebrokeprofessional.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/matrix-guns.gif

[drowsy crane]

About 1000 individual objects.

[subtle parrot]

Including all the weapons and gear probably north of 250 maybe 300 would be my guess, that 1000 would likely include build pieces and other models.

[true steeple]

There are 1069 unique items but many of them are unobtainable

[raven lantern]

I guess I'm hoping for the number of obtainable objects

[subtle parrot]

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

[true steeple]

200 are enemy attacks and a few more will be enemy equipment and player hair/beard models

[raven lantern]

If say I were to build a warehouse at the beginning of the game, already knowing how many things I would store in a chest by themselves, how many chests should I build

[true steeple]

idk the exact amount of obtainable items

[subtle parrot]

Go for 300 to start and then add if you need to

[jade olive]

Hey all I have been having some odd issues of late were things are disappearing. I had a iron cooker near a simple base and a lox stopped it but the iron and chains were not there but the rock was. No major time happened. I have lost a scythe right out of a storage box. I knew it was in there had just used it to do crop and put it in there. Has anyone had this issues ever? There is no mods either.

[raven lantern]

Thanks for the help!

[marble roost]

I don’t know but I do know that I absolutely hate storages like that

I’m guessing it’s more for a collectivist type mindset than anything practical?

[cloud mural]

Hi! Is it possible to lock the time of day ? My friend gets day night cycle sickness when he plays valheim . Trying to make accommodations for him. This is on a 24/7 hosted server, no mods. Is theres any commands to help with that? Thank youu.

[lapis terrace]

no

Technically you could stop time with one command/setkey but it would stop all movement all together, players included (iirc).

[lapis terrace]

that's only local for that player

[quiet zealot]

does the staff not make coal any more from wood stacks?

[tired root]

Directly hitting then with fireballs won't.

[quiet zealot]

How exactly do i do it, does the blast need to hit the ground near it? or do i have to make a big wooden floor, then light the floor on fire?

[tired root]

Hit the ground with fireball, it will create wildfires. Place stack of wood on the wildfire and let it burn the stack.

[quiet zealot]

Im hitting grass right now on a clear day without rain and theres no wildfire, does this work in meadows? or maybe a server setting?

[tired root]

Either in Ashlands or change world settings to allow spreading fire in other biomes too.

[quiet zealot]

oh this only works in ashlands shit i thought it would work elsewhere

[tired root]

It works in other biomes too, but only with the world modifier setting enabled.

[quiet zealot]

ty!

[lyric copper]

Is there any way to get rid of runestones?

One was very unfortunately in the way of one of my builds and now I can not continue building unless it gets removed

You could dig/mine under it so that it should fall and then cover it with a hoe by raising the ground

Or you could integrate it into your build

[dusty trellis]

So I have two questions 1. is there a way to get boars to follow you after you tame them? I want to move them to a different pen.

[viral cave]

You could stick em with an abyssal harpoon and drag them

[dusty trellis]

2. Can someone please point me in the direction of some good videos on building in the game. The ones I find fall into one of two camps... either the player is turning on cheats, flying and spawning in resources to build really complex structures.. or they are extremely basic.... (build a crafting bench to place wood floors). Im looking for something inbetween like how to build simple efficient bases. Mine always turn out such a disorganized mess.

[dusty trellis]

I don't have that I guess its farther along in the game. But thanks for responding.

[viral cave]

It's accessible with as little as a pickaxe of any kind and a boat. Sail around and find a weird looking island with barnacles on it to get the necessary materials. They're a wee bit rare

[dusty trellis]

oh ok, that sounds like it will be dooable soon

currently in the copper age, working on getting my base setup, mining more copper and getting boars and carrots going

and need to build walls before invasions start

[compact heath]

there is also dungeon in the black forest, and not just copper, another metal as well (slight spoilers but tried not to spoiler too much)

[compact heath]

have some sort of defenses is great, means you don't have to try lure attackers away from your base

[simple jewel]

so i have a chimney that is just a 1x1 open tower on one of the walls of my house, but when it rains, my fire goes out. is there any way to stop that? even when i covered the chimney it would still be out

also when i put a hole in the top of the chimney but on the side, while the top is covered, rain still stops my fire from working so i cant sleep or cook until it stops raining

do i need to make it sloped at the top or something?

[undone monolith]

you need an angled roof above it, for example. to protect from the rain but allow the smoke to go out.

make sure to cover it with roof and not a floor tile, since the floor allows rain to pass through

[simple jewel]

oh yeah i had a floor tile on the top with a hole in the side so i guess thats it

i just beat the first boss, but i don't see a little red stone in the starting boss stone area telling me where the second boss summon site is like the first one

do i just need to run around black forest to find it or something?

[undone monolith]

Basically that. Some points of interest may have something about it. 👀

[storm ember]

I've recently built a boar farm but I can't get them to eat so they can produce babies

[undone monolith]

are they tamed already?

[storm ember]

Yes

[undone monolith]

if they are "hungry", they should automatically eat any suitable foods that you drop on the ground near them.

[storm ember]

Which is carrots, mushrooms, raspberries or blueberries to my knowledge

[undone monolith]

Yes.

They must be fed and happy in order to breed. Maybe petting them will help?

[storm ember]

I've pet them plenty

And I know the farm design that I used works because I've done it before. Meaning I also know that they can eat through half walls, full walls and beams

[undone monolith]

🤔 I see. maybe there's some problem with the space somehow. But since you made it before, I don't really know what the problem could be.

I have only tried to feed them with no walls between them and the food.

[storm ember]

Honestly it could be something as simple as because it's not directly north, south east or west facing the pigs just simply don't want to eat

[undone monolith]

Are the boars frightened?
Because of raids or enemies near your base?

[storm ember]

No. There's no way they could be. They're 12 m in the air on a platform I don't know if you've seen the farm design that I'm talking about, but I know it works and it's a way to get past the limit of only being able to have five bore at a time before you have to kill some

[undone monolith]

I haven't seen that design.
Interesting 🤔

[storm ember]

I could try to send screenshots, although I don't know if I'm allowed to in this chat

[undone monolith]

maybe in the screenshots chat?

[storm ember]

Maybe

[drowsy crane]

You're allowed to send pictures here

[undone monolith]

loke this. all in the black forrest "zone"

[wet river]

wow this is interesting

[lapis terrace]

it's somewhat old info, since mountains cannot spawn that close to the middle anymore

[wet river]

so i am assuming deep north is the final update? Biome and boss wise.

[lapis terrace]

that's the intended plan

Final biome and 1.0 release

[full mesa]

The only ashland enemy I hate are the twitchers

[lapis terrace]

oh?

and here I was betting on the asksvin 😄

[full mesa]

I dont hate them by design like their looks and stuff like that, but fighting them can be a nuisance sometimes

Since theyhave the tendency to just run away after getting hit once or they hit you and you're trying to hit them but they just keep running bc they're distancing themselves to try and throw a skull at you

[compact heath]

I feel like I'm not even ready yet haha haven't got a perfectly prepared world yet!

[undone monolith]

Valheim map content ❤️ love it

I like to just look at Valheim maps sometimes.
To see the differences and similarities between seeds etc

and to see the shapes of the islands and biomes

The other day, I just found out about the three highest mountains in Valheim. They even have names. UwU

[lapis terrace]

you can always start a brand spanking new world in 1.0 and enjoy the entire journey.
And see any gameplay atm as training session 🙂

[compact heath]

I will do that as well, I will do EVERYTHING 😛

try to get to 4k hours before release haha

[ruby oar]

the swamp ring has also been shrunk significantly with the mistlands update (the outer limit was decreased to iirc something around half the world's radius, to give mistlands more room in its ring)
-# (swamp PoI limits were mostly adjusted to suit the now reduced swamp coverage, f.e. the total amount of crypts in a world went down from 400 to 175, but one PoI's total wasn't changed at all so it became extremely common and i'm not sure if that's been fixed yet 😅 it's like that small collection of rocks with 3 monster spawners in it and sometimes a chest in the middle)

[ripe bone]

🐻

[true steeple]

swamp distance is 2000-6000 now. also the old maximum distance was 8000, not 7500 like it is in the image

[ruby oar]

ah right, the image wasn't even fully accurate before mistlands 😅 i vaguely remember that now

[tired root]

I remember exploring one swamp in world created before the Mistlands update that was quite large but had no crypts whatsoever, so adjusted limit for POIs seems like the reason why.

[ruby oar]

yepp, pre-mistlands worlds kept their old biome coverage but, as usual, PoI totals were updated and reshuffled, so those worlds have more densely populated mistlands and more sparse swamps

[full mesa]

So less iron now?

I mean we have mistlands those big tall bridges but that not enough

[glad current]

Not necessarily

Iron can be acquired through other methods

[marble roost]

Iron went from being infinite to still being infinite

[full mesa]

What are the other methods to gather iron

[sturdy folio]

standing in the swamps and calling for slimes by going "pspspspspsp"

[glad current]

Oozers will drop some, dismantling things in the Mistlands…

[lapis terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-weeee-wot-cat-wot-cat-weee-gif-13998817719669189446

[full mesa]

I already know the swamps, mistlands bridges, and mountain frost caves with the doors, ashlands occasionally drops iron from the pots

[sturdy folio]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-scared-shocked-funny-animals-gif-14395038

[full mesa]

I cant remember exactly despite being present playthrough, do they respawn infront of the sunken crypts?

[sturdy folio]

The red slimes? both slimes are a re-occuring spawn anywhere in the swamps iirc

red slimes typically more so at night time - again, iirc

[full mesa]

I rarely encounter one if they even respawn

Mostly blobs and other swamp enemies

[tired root]

Oozers can spawn once in front of sunken crypts but they spawn more regurarly during night.

[full mesa]

This is probably because I go by the rule of dont go out at night so I rarely encounter them

[hollow jackal]

with which weapon can you farm a lot of crops at the same time? I tried it with a bronze atgeir 2nd attack and now all my carrots are gone lol

[tired root]

Scythe is for that purpose.

[full mesa]

You did not just try to use atgeir special attack on your crops

[sturdy folio]

Hey, Atgeirs are the OG scythes

[full mesa]

There will be an item you can use that will make gathering easier

[hollow jackal]

I think i did, it was very effective xD

[full mesa]

But for now its just your own hands

[glad current]

Historically, scythes are the OG atgiers.

[hollow jackal]

is scythe already possible in BF?

[full mesa]

So get back to farming and make those carrot soup

[tired root]

Before people used atgeir secondary on barley and flax only, other crops it will destroy.

[glad current]

Lots of farming implements and tools adapted for use in war

[hollow jackal]

wish we could make dynamite to make farming copper easier xD

[tired root]

It's after Moder and if you've found Bog Witch.

[hollow jackal]

oof, didnt even do elder yet lol

[tired root]

-# Kinda can, but much much later.

[full mesa]

Theres a weapon you get late-game that will make gathering of resources so much easier

To the point that its too much

[thorn spire]

Now I'm confused. Which weapon does pickaxe damage? (Pls spoiler answers)

[sturdy folio]

wait, you want to know but you want it spoilered?

[thorn spire]

spoilers for others who aren't there yet.

[sturdy folio]

ah, makes sense

[full mesa]

Spoiler warning ||you will get a magic weapon the trollstav which will allow you to summon a giant fiery troll that will first drop down as a meteor causing a giant explosion, doing massive damage to the environment and structures affected in its explosion range||

[thorn spire]

thx

[full mesa]

it very good :]

[thorn spire]

I actually haven't used it yet.

[full mesa]

Makes ashlands honestly a bit more easier to traverse

[true steeple]

||50 pure damage 300 fire damage 100 chop damage 100 pickaxe damage||

[glad current]

I used it accidentally when first testing it. Very effective!

[thorn spire]

what tier? anyone know?

[full mesa]

||Wearing the feather cape will accelerate the burning process||

[true steeple]

||tool tier 0||

[thorn spire]

ahh, can't have everything I guess.

[full mesa]

Was this intentional or just experimentation for now?

I would imagine it being able to destory other resources like birch and oak

But they dont

[true steeple]

how would I know if it's intentional

[full mesa]

IT BIG EXPLOSION IT MUST DESTROY TREE

[true steeple]

but the tree is too hard

[full mesa]

WHY NO DESTROY BIRCH AND OAK

[full mesa]

It can destory long and ancient ash trees but cant even make a dent on a birch tree

[true steeple]

because they need tool tier 0

which is weird for being so late in the game

[thorn spire]

lol it's funny that scorched trees only need a stone axe to chop

[glad current]

Who needs to chop them? Half the time they fall over on their own

[full mesa]

The occasional ||lava blob|| or wild ||fire rain|| can cause a dominos of just randomly fallen over ash trees

[tired root]

What, you don't?

[sturdy folio]

||I love the ashland raids which delivers 3 free charred enemy spawners||

very handy for bones at home farming

[thorn spire]

That's true of pretty much every raid, once you get used to the patterns. It's just free XXX delivery to your door.

[full mesa]

Mmmm charred bolts

[ruby oar]

the density of crypts in swamps is roughly the same as it was before the mistlands update, but you're not wrong, if you actually were planning to clear every single crypt in a world, that would have yielded significantly more iron before the mistlands update due to that lower total

[full mesa]

Iron is only enough when there is no more to gather

[sturdy folio]

nah I mentioned the ||charred spawners|| because the ||spawners remain there after the raid until otherwise destroyed ||

[quiet zealot]

Asking to make sure my afking is safe.

I’m afk auto farming bloodmagic/ wood / stone at a greydwarf spawner.

I don’t recall, if somehow I get raider and die. (I will prob get raided at some point and hopefully raids won’t destroy my spawner farm as it has walls around it.

If somehow I did die during a raid, bats?

Upon dying, will I respawn automatically at my bed in my main base ? If so that would not be ideal as then that would be targeted by raids

[wooden jacinth]

Guys, I've seen videos showing signs with colored text. Can that be achieved in vanilla?

I'm making sign posts in a swamp to stablish my hauling route for iron scraps, but the black letters lack contrast.

I want greyish white letters instead.

[glad current]

It can. Start the sign with <# and whatever hex code you want for the color

[thorn spire]

Yes, if you drop a bed by your afk farm and claim it, you'll respawn there. Better to ensure no raids. Make sure you have fewer than 3 player base structures at your farm and you won't get raided

[glad current]

“<#FFFFFF> Tools” will give you the word “Tools” in white text

[wooden jacinth]

<#F8F8FF SOUTH?

[wooden jacinth]

Ah Classic hex code.

[glad current]

Don’t forget the close bracket but yes

[wooden jacinth]

Readable at last! 🫂 Thank you

[visual ivy]

Got a question here my friends, I find the Bronze Age to be the slowest of them all. Is that true or am I just bad at farming?Iron is pretty fast and me personally I never made it to mountains or plains but silver and black metal looks significantly easier to get and yield is just way more.

[subtle parrot]

That or you can do <color=white> for the same effect

[subtle parrot]

I usually just get enough copper and tin to make enough bronze for the cultivator and maybe a bronze buckler, and move on to killing trolls

And the bench/forge upgrades ofc

[glad current]

True but that only works for the main pure colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet/purple, white, black. Hex code gives ALL the colors! 🌈

[subtle parrot]

True

I don't usually use exotic color though tbh

[glad current]

My storehouse is so bougie All color-coded

[visual ivy]

Oh is the bronze armor not worth making (I so made a full set 😭)

[glad current]

The eitr chest is eitr-colored. Meat chest is dull reddish-brown.

[subtle parrot]

It's alright but it's not that much better than bear armor

[subtle parrot]

Used to i would get troll armor and use that up til mountains but now i go for bear armor

[wooden jacinth]

I'm using #D7CFC2, which looks like a pale brown, similar to when you carve onto wood naturally. So it doesn't break my immersion.

[glad current]

Nice choice!

[subtle parrot]

That's pretty neat

[gleaming sun]

does anyone know whats the commands to spawn the plains stone pillar

[subtle parrot]

Try spawn rock_4_plains, idk if it's the right one but it's the one that says plains in the item list on the wiki

[gleaming sun]

thats not the one

[ruby oar]

think it had pillar in its name

and heath

one of those words might auto-complete to it

[subtle parrot]

Try highstone or rock2_heath

[ruby oar]

it's HeathRockPillar

[wooden jacinth]

For some reason placing these signs to stablish a hauling route feels like if I was playing The Witcher + Darksouls instead. lol

[untold pulsar]

is there a way to remove " the forest become alive " i just wanna play and chill and not have to worry about my base getting raided

[drowsy crane]

You can toggle raids on/off in your world modifiers.

[untold pulsar]

OHH thanks yea i see the Raid rate thing now , i was just blind , thanks ❤️

[drowsy crane]

No problem 🙂

[untold pulsar]

i wanna go on adventure now

[viral cave]

You can cheese it with relative ease with a ||bronze atgeir alternating walking with spin attacks||. It is pretty brutal when you're starting out, though.
After some practice, raids become free resource delivery. They really seem much harder than they are and just click at some point.
That's my advice anyways. If you don't want raids, by all means turn them off

[untold pulsar]

good to know because at some point i gotta try with raids also 🙂

thanks

[viral cave]

Just remember that most monsters in the game can't hit moving targets to save their life :P

[hollow jackal]

Is it wise or possible to block/parry a troll hit? With a bronze buckler

[pulsar tiger]

Wise, if you can, possible with a bronze buckler, yes. (If you have enough armor, high enough health and blocking lvl and enemy aren't too hard)

[compact heath]

I would say possible yes but I don't know high high block skill and armour / health need to be for it to be successful, quite high imo, much easier with the buckler after the bronze one

[hollow jackal]

Is a troll too hard?

[compact heath]

so like possible yes, wise no

and if the troll has a star, DO NOT TRY with a bronze buckler

[hollow jackal]

I tried dodging but it got me killed

Dont want to lose more xp lol

[compact heath]

i walk / run away - and shoot with arrows, also a level 3 atgeir special attack is troll easy mode

[pulsar tiger]

If you get one shotted, it's unlikely you could parry

[compact heath]

bronze atgeir

[jade olive]

Don't forget trolls have two weak spots as well

[frosty frost]

Two? 👀

[glad current]

I only know of the one

Maybe the sole of its foot. The Lego™ offensive!

[jade olive]

Well if only we had viking Legos but yeah there is two

[frosty frost]

Which ones do you think those are? 😄

[jade olive]

Well you got the classic head shot and the crotch shot for that sweet yellow damage

[frosty frost]

Crotch is not a weak spot 🙂
You say "crotch shot", i guess that would mean you are using bow for them, right?

[glad current]

The crotch is just a legend

[orchid scarab]

Do you ambiently freeze in frost caves?

[frosty frost]

You are only cold there 🙂 not freezing

[orchid scarab]

Thank you.

[jade olive]

Bow or cross for head and knife or artger for the stager effect except for a 2 star

[frosty frost]

Little hint, all of those do pierce dmg 😉

[viral cave]

This depends on your food
If you're running 2 stamina 1 health food, you could probably parry a lot of stuff that could kill you in one hit

Assuming 50 health, lvl 1 buckler can parry everything except for ground slam and vertical log swing. Lvl 2 can party everything got the block armor equation backwards

[marble roost]

Should be fine. Just eat like eat a couple Black Forest tier health food and you’re set

Armor doesn’t affect parries pretty sure, just the shield and your max health

[viral cave]

Okay... If you're at 50 health, you can parry the rock throw and maaaaaybe the punch attack with a lvl 1 bronze buckler
If it has a log or does a slam attack, you'd want a lvl 2 buckler at least
The formula for parrying is 2√(0.4*maxhealth*40) for a lvl 1 buckler at low health values and 2√(0.4*maxhealth*55) for a lvl 2 buckler, possibly with a small increase from the blocking skill

[lapis terrace]

totally possible. but I would advise to learn the timing on skeletons on other enemies before trying on the troll

and also gain a few levels

[full mesa]

Curios, how does the fire hazard work with stuff like torch, campfire, hearth, bonfire?

does it just spread to a nearby wood buildable or can only spread only within like a 0.5 meter or 1 meter?

[marble roost]

Depends on the item. Standing torches have a super tiny radius, think I only lit something on fire when I literally placed the fire part INSIDE my roof

Campfire is a pretty small radius, I wanna say like anything within 0.5m can catch on fire

Bonfire will be bigger radius

Things don't insta catch on fire, it just depends if a spark from the fire hits it or not. It'll send out sparks fairly frequently

[fallow lantern]

is there anyone here running a private server.. that can help me with admin controls and how to add permissions for admins but not regular players?

[feral hawk]

Anyone have any idea why I am having issues with dev commands? I’m returning to the game after a long break. Used to use them all the time. I’m on Xbox. Trying to use them exactly as I used to. But it’s not bringing up the menu. Has it changed or been disabled?

[subtle parrot]

It's a setting in the menu now you need to enable them, then you can use them like usual

[desert shore]

hello may i ask why our sever dont have any sliver

we run 3~4 mountain found nothing

[humble crescent]

how are you searching? are you finding obsidian? drakes? drake eggs? golems?

[desert shore]

yep we all got

how you get that

[subtle parrot]

Are you using the wishbone?

[desert shore]

yes we use to run mountain

and we found nothing

is sliver usually to see?

[subtle parrot]

The mountain needs to be like 120m tall and silver is underground, so you won't just see it sticking out of the ground usually.

[desert shore]

how to know how tall isit

[subtle parrot]

If you see obsidian you're almost at the mark

[thorn spire]

Obsidian is your marker. Silver starts about 50m higher than Obsidian.

[desert shore]

is that usually to see

[thorn spire]

Obsidian you can see, yes.

[subtle parrot]

Make sure that you have the wishbone actually equipped, it will start blinking and glowing and making a pinging noise that will get faster the closer you get to hidden treasures or silver vein

[sturdy folio]

I don't know what this is about 600m on a mountain but the wiki says it's 120m

as it should be 😄

[desert shore]

k got it

[crude granite]

what can i do

[thorn spire]

If you have the wishbone equipped and you can see Obsidian, you`ll find the silver if its there.

[sturdy folio]

You can go in any direction you choose

[crude granite]

So sad

[feral hawk]

Ahhh ok. I see it. Just called “enable console”. I might’ve eventually figured that out

[sturdy crane]

I have a new computer arriving on Friday. How do I transfer my save data from my current computer to the next so I can play my worlds?

Do I just need to copy and paste the save folder?

[eager stream]

so if I copy the seed name from a world, I can make a new world that is the exact same or?

[frosty frost]

Pretty much, yep 🙂

[eager stream]

sweet, thanks

[frosty frost]

There are few things taht dont have to be exactly the same, iirc ore positions are one of them, and stuff based on rng ofc

[eager stream]

but the geography would be?

also another question, the homes I find strewn about the land has music playing, is there any way to turn that off (for i wanted to make them a base)

[echo sparrow]

i think the geography is unchanged (provided the versions have changed--the same seed yields massively different results for example in the pre vs post Ashlands release terrain generation)

as for the music, I believe it changes to the situational environment--for example, you stumble across the POI for the first time, 'spooky exploration themed music' is playing

you plop down a campfire, and a roof so you have the 'fire' (in the radius of the fir warmth) and shelter buff, suddenly you start hearing the familiar tones of the "cozy at home" music

[light shore]

So the day is 21 minutes right? Is that exactly 21 min from when you wake up, no matter when you went to bed?

[frosty frost]

You always wake up at the same exact time, no matter when you have gone to sleep, if that answers your question 🤔

[wheat glade]

I picked up vineberry seeds but didn't get the "recipe" for the vines, so im unable to plant them with the cultivator. Any ideas?

[hollow jackal]

Is there a video about how to get mods for valheim? I saw a video about a few that seemed to be good

[frosty frost]

Folks in #mods-discussion might know 😄

[lament kiln]

What is better against the Queen, the Root Harnesk or the Carapace Breastplate?

[full mesa]

Theres some attacks that do pierce but im not sure if it works with root harnesk as pierce

as such pickaxe dmg

[lament kiln]

They do, now the question is, is it worth it? Some Queen attacks do Pierce damage, but not all of them

[full mesa]

I prefer going full defense to reduce all damage on all attacks instead of just one

[eager robin]

Small question on spears : the secondary attack : is that like " Throw weapon at ennemy" or more of " throw a copy of it"?

[subtle parrot]

It throws your weapon you need to go and retrieve it afterwards

Be careful on mountains, they can get lost quite easily

[eager robin]

well guess ill not get spears then, was thinking, oh the range might help against thougher ennemies but with my luck i am " woops missed" and " weapon miles behind the ennemy"

[subtle parrot]

That's partly why i don't use them either, bow and arrows is better in that regard imo. The quick attack speed of the spear is nice though, but i prefer knives over them even though the range is quite short on knives

[abstract eagle]

Spears work great in infected mines

[icy brook]

I love spears they're great. But I wouldn't throw them unless your on fairly flat terrain or your throwing them towards a hill

If you throw them off a hill or mountain they can soar away and you'll never see it again

[abstract eagle]

Add ability to tie a rope to the end of the spear for easy retrieval .. made from linen. Kinda like harpoon mechanics

https://tenor.com/view/mortal-kombat-scorpion-get-over-here-mk11-mortal-kombat11-gif-17129778

[eager robin]

well i am doing my first crypts in swamp, so a bit away from mountain and co 😄

[lament kiln]

I prefer spears over knives because there's an Ashlands spear and no Ashlands knife. That's literally it.

[subtle parrot]

Lol that's fair

[marble roost]

Unless you're playing on increased difficulty I'd say Carapace

Kinda depends on how much of a threat you find regular seekers to be too, as those are mostly pierce and you'll be encountering them in the fight too

[spare cargo]

Is there a reason I'd be getting over 13k instances just meandering in the black forest? I'm pretty far from all of my buildings on that continent

any other players? have you been there before?

[spare cargo]

Yes I've been there before and just me and my buddy. We do have a mod list, but it hasn't been nearly this bad so far

He had 2,500 instances where he was building

[thorn spire]

If you had fun with a troll and left a mess, that could add up.

[spare cargo]

Hmm okay

Is there a way to reset instances or something?

Is there a distance affect for instances? Like how far away you need to be to not be affected by your base instances

A few days ago I asked about a way to delete or destroy items, and someone told that's not possible in vanilla, but I just unlocked the recipe for the Obliterator and it's just what I was looking for! 😮

Now, I have no idea how to make it work. lol

[clever juniper]

open the lid on top, put stuff in like a chest, pull lever, stand back and pray to thor

Are Giant Skulls always on the surface, or can they be underground? (Like, we would need to dig with the pickaxe to find them)

[tired notch]

always on the surface, sometimes protruding from the ground or a rock next to it so it may be hard to see.

Not sure if you know but look out for the ribcage, it's easier to notice in my opinon and try to listen to ticks, there'll always be some next to the skulls.

[undone monolith]

Yeah, I usually look for the ribcage. But I have heard that we can find Giant Skulls by themselves too, but I never found one (Only ribcage+skull or ribcage alone).
So I was wondering if some skulls could be buried underground near Ancient Armour for example.

I guess I'll keep looking for ribcages 😅 The soft tissue journey never ends...

[tired notch]

I believe there will always be ribs with the skull but not always skull with the ribs. Also the skull could be almost completely inside of a giant rock.

Also I think they spawn more often in larger valleys, but that's just my experience.

[undone monolith]

same. I usually find them like that too.

Thanks!

[ancient falcon]

Hey guys, can you tell me if the effects of arrows stack when passing the game in 2 players, and if the effects of different types of arrows stack

[sullen hollow]

different types do stack i am sure

when its only one player fire stack

poison is not stacking on its own

frost and pierce insta damage no need to stack

so question is does fire and spirit stack ?

[ancient falcon]

And from different players? Or is it better for only one to use arrows with an effect, and the other with normal damage without effects?

[sullen hollow]

you could test it out easily just spawn an elder and shoot him with a single fire arrow and check the fire damage numbers

then after fire on him extunguish

you and your friend hit him with 1 fire arrow each if fire damage tick be higher its means its stack even if the damage is from different resoruces

[tired root]

All fire damage should stack. Poison doesn't.

Or by stacking it means that the burning effect is added again (lasts for 5 seconds) and it recalculates the remaining damage from remaining ticks and applies it as new damage number.

[ancient falcon]

Thank you for the detailed explanation, long and happy years of life to you kind person😁😁

[marble roost]

Eh to be fair the guy that said you couldn’t immediately amended his statement and said that the obliterator exists

[brave cloak]

Is there a video guide on how building stability works? my gf is making a root and it is supported by pillars but some parts just fall off we dont rly understand why

[tired root]

Are those pillars connected to ground?

Also, what material? Corewood is stronger than regular wood for supporting.

[marble roost]

Also they should preferably be Corewood pillars and not regular wood. Regular wood gives less support

[spare vault]

The most important thing is the highlighted color. If it's green, all is good. If it's a dark red, anything you attach to it will fall.

[languid bison]

I don't get any seeds from Oaktrees. Is that a bug?

[quasi vault]

just RNG

On average you will get 1.25 of them per oak

[languid bison]

I thought its always 2-3

Now I just got 6 from a single tree

[icy birch]

The power of RNG

[quasi vault]

It's 1 to 3 set of seeds that can give 2 to 3 each I think so you can get up to 9 seeds from 1 tree IIRC

[languid bison]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Oak
So this info is wrong?

[quasi vault]

It is correct

[languid bison]

How can it be correct? It says 2-3 saplings
I just got 6. And the three oaks before gave none

[icy birch]

Seed drops are 40% chance. That’s each time. You could fail to get seeds ten times in a row.

[quasi vault]

50% chance that you get a drop and it will be 2-3 different items (It can be the same twice)

[icy birch]

It is all random

[languid bison]

Ohhhh
I thought they mean 50% chance for 2 seeds and 50 % chance for 3 seeds

[quasi vault]

if you got 6 that means you either got the seeds to drop 3 times, 2 each or twice with 3 each

Just trust the process, oaks are the way to get a renewable source of fine wood

[languid bison]

Does the harvest outfit affect the seed drop rate?

[brave cloak]

Yes from basic wood. Basically I was making pillars on solid ground to support a roof but it seems like eventually even with many pillars the roof just collapses. I even tried to add angled pillars to the existing pillars to make them sturdier I guess but after a while the roof just can't handle it anymore and falls off.

[quasi vault]

There's limit to how high you can build with each materials, each level of them lose stability. In your case, it seems like you have roof pieces higher than your pillars so try adding core wood pillars up the highest point on the roofs from the ground

[brave cloak]

While my gf was making a tall and large square / rectangular house and the middle roof made either of floor or the roof tile just collapses in the middle so kinda similiar problem, partially fixed when she added pillars in the middle but kinda ruins it if theres too many pillars

[tired root]

Try corewood pillars. They support higher.

[brave cloak]

alright thx

[languid bison]

Has anyone a tip on how to find turnip flowers?
I'V been looking for over an hour in the swamps

[quasi vault]

Look from all angles, check behind you past trees, etc. They spawn on land so the edges of the swamps bordering other biomes have more lands, therefore more chances to have turnips and they are easier to see

[spare vault]

They only show up after 10 hours of searching

[late bear]

Hey, I wanted to kill the bone mass now and I checked on Reddit they say I need to have blunt mace, do I really need it or sword is fine since I’m lvled up in it

[stoic trench]

Sword is doable, will just take a little longer

[late bear]

But later on there’s no downside on sword?

[frosty frost]

Not really, its one of, if not the, best all rounder weapon

[late bear]

Okey bet thx

[stoic trench]

I mean, there might be specific case scenarios, but it’s generally a solid weapon type 👍

[abstract eagle]

Best all around weapon is ... raised ground. Works every time and makes it much easier, plus you'll get a cool house on top of the skull.

[spare vault]

You deal ~3x as much damage with a mace but other weapons will eventually do the trick too

[echo sparrow]

the damage resistance/weakness of using the mace (blunt) vs any other weapon damage type will ALMOST CERTAINLY outweigh ANY skill gap

[quasi vault]

Even if I use swords as my main weapon, which is often the case, I craft a level 4 wooden club just for bonemass and drop it on the ground when the mass is down

[barren crescent]

Why is it only this game that constantly disconnects me? Its happening every 5 minutes now

[onyx pivot]

Hi, I'm tryna build a new base but the terrain has alot of height differences. What is the best way to flatten it out? And make it look nice, so I don't have these stone cliffs everywhere.

I've been trying but It's pretty tedious lol

[fossil needle]

How do i connect to my friends server via steam??

[eager robin]

so i was trying to get the ruperts drop done on a copper orevein, yet it seems i cant dig further down, do i need to level the sides more to be able to dig deeper?

[fossil needle]

I can only see community servers and i can not join my friend through steam. how do i solve this??

aight we refund then

[abstract eagle]

Hoe

[eager robin]

has friend opened the game as "server" ? if yes he should share you the game id and the password

[fossil needle]

Yeah but where can i type it in?

[eager robin]

join game. add server, enter the number friend sees in his options. connect then ask password when prompted

[fossil needle]

Where in options may I see what for him to enter the add server

nowhere to be found

[eager robin]

well when you open the game, ( make sure to click start server) and a password when opening the world

when in the world, if you click ESC it should show you a fancy number in the screen

[fossil needle]

I'll have to go check my eyes for sure. Thanks alot ❤️

[eager robin]

found it then ?

[wooden jacinth]

I ||found another merchant called Hildir and she speaks something about retrieving her lost goods that were stolen.|| Is that just flavor text or an actual sidequest? 🤔

[thorn spire]

It's definitely optional, but worth it. Sidequest for sure; there are actually things to get.

[true steeple]

interact with her map table

[eager robin]

^ map table is your friend, bring food and gear tho

[wooden jacinth]

Ah, nice!

Now it makes more sense.

That hag sent me to a death trap! 💀

[echo sparrow]

correct

[thorn spire]

the bird did warn you though.

[echo sparrow]

lololololololololololololololololololol

[eager robin]

well hence the bring food and gear 😄 gives slightly better odds 😛

[wooden jacinth]

I mean, even Hugin warns me about that place. I'm regretting my choices right now.

[quasi vault]

Sidequests are in 3 different biome the 2nd, 4th and 5th. So if you are not far into the game do not just go straight for some of them because the biome in which it is will destroy you before you even reach it

[wooden jacinth]

I wasn't even there, but I had to traverse a lot of autumn like grass fields to reach a small black forest. The giant mosquitoes killed me twice. They won't surrender. 💀

[wooden jacinth]

Are there more sidequests after these 2?

[quasi vault]

There's 3 chests for hildir and then further along there's a quest to get a unique item

[strong forge]

Hildir offers 3 quests where a mini-boss drops a chest that you need to bring back to her. This unlocks more items in her shop.

[wooden jacinth]

HAHA "Mini-boss" Hell, no! This place is like a Burial Chambers on steroids.

[strong forge]

You seem to have moved into "Plains" territory - it should say what biome you're in on the minimap. What's your current gear? Going to Mistlands in bronze isn't a good idea at all

[wooden jacinth]

But where is my viking spirit? I must overcome my fears! To battle!! (...or not? )

[wooden jacinth]

I'm full upgraded Iron / Root set with fully upgraded Iron Sword and Iron Buckler.

Getting the final touches to challenge the 3rd boss.

[echo sparrow]

that's not bad, but still, would be rough for even an experienced player

that's jumping a WHOLE biome of progression--which is typically very punishing alone

[wooden jacinth]

That hag appeared at the Meadows.

[echo sparrow]

the transition from "last" to "next" biome (i.e. entering the next, in the more or less best possibly upgraded state of last biome gear) is already usually challenging

[strong forge]

Full iron sounds workable but I suggest that you nip a couple of Fuhling for black metal before you go fully into plains

[echo sparrow]

SHE is, but her QUEST objectives are not

[wooden jacinth]

I haven't encountered those Fuhling fellows yet.

[echo sparrow]

the thing about it is, you really CAN'T get that much benefit USUALLY from 'jumping progression'

like take the example of just 'sniping a few fulings' for blackmetal way early--even assuming you can kill them--great

now what do you do with the unrefined blackmetal ore?

[wooden jacinth]

That's convincing enough. I fled like a true prudent Viking.

[echo sparrow]

discretion is the better part of valor people say
