This. Every time you die, the very first thing you should always do is mark your body on the map. Pretty much the only way you can gently caress up in this game is to lose your body location.

Is there a goon server at all? I've gotten up to bronze gear and defeated the second boss and feel like I'm missing half the fun of this by playing solo.

dunno if anyone said, but you can skip the no teleporting on ores stuff by going to another world and dumping your stuff, going back to your real base, then going back to the alt world for your crap.

Welp, went to the mountain biome to check it out, and found a Dragon Egg. But it weighed so much that I had to open my inventory to toss some stuff out, and a wolf saw the opportunity to drop me in 3 hits.

I wanna play with other people real bad. I'm gearing up tp do the third boss now. I dont have a server, though... can you just make your own world available? My internet is da poop is the only thing.

Edit: I have been using two worlds: one to go out and adventure and then one to use as a merchant hub with chests and repair benches. I dont think that this is the intended gameplay, but sailing back and forth with ore feels more like an inconvenience. I really would like to use portals with ore. It's just a roadblock. Maybe there could be a server option? So everyone can be happy.

Broken Cog posted:

Speaking of swamps, is there anything you can do with those huge trees with green blobs in them?

Edit: Also here's the thing about iron: Not everyone needs an entire iron set. For example, if someone is playing archer, they really just need the bow. They can just keep upgrading the troll set.

im using it right into mountains and even did a bunch of combat in the plains. shield quality is more important than armor quality after a point and troll armor is honestly really good upgraded

Ok cool. Very much the same spirit. Activates the same part of my lizard brain deep underneath the scar tissue.

Off topic: Given the limited availability of flint and the specific crossroad of progression I offer this advice: Instead of upgrading your flint spear, make a second flint spear. An unupgraded spear is the choice method of Meadows Deer Hunting. You will lose that spear someday, and you will be far away from your crafting bench. Build the safety spear.

Viking man living in viking hut only knows mastery over nature with his skill. It is just instinctual, as I wander my constitutional sometimes I hear the deer call, I hit stealth button and survey my surroundings. Seeing the doe past the next couple trees. The start/stop pacing of trying to get ID and sneak up for first throw is tense. Then when you toss your spear and hit the buck, you rush to claim your spear and stab the doe as it AI Panic turns.

I mean, I get the benefits of arrow hunting. I just don't wanna do the inventory management of arrows. Spend enough of my lean-to viking brain on the meat cooking rhythm beat.

I really dig the conceit of Valheim requiring a password for community servers. Add that with that with dedicated hosting, there's a real opportunity to see some "boats in bottles" type crafted hobby worlds.

But nobody can see it unless you post the password. But if you post the rune words towards your home you could invite vikings who will burn your poo poo down and take your core frags and flint. It is a beautiful tension. But very lightning in a bottle.

You could connect by knowing something of the server name. When you get in client you can filter all 5000 worlds and pick that. Then you input the password, the ancient runes. But you must repeat this ritual every time you log on. Easy for to call out for a warband, a crew, a tour group.

But, if you know the true old magic, on the steam client you can click view-server to see the ancient pane. From there you can put in the server's true name (ip), and number it's port. If the stars align and you recite the correct words it will be favorited. You can click join. You must still input the password.

Really wish you could keep upgrading older armor sets to be competitive with the raw numbers offered by more advanced sets, especially if you prefer their appearance. Skin transfers and dyes when?

With decent food active I can soak a dozen or so hits from deathsquitos and fulings with a mix of fully upgraded iron and silver/wolf armor, whereas in fully upgraded troll I'd be 3-4 shot. Yeah sure "don't get hit" but that's not always possible due to server lag and stamina.

And holy poo poo the longboat is as noticeable an improvement over the karve as the karve is over the raft.

God, you vindictive bitch, why can't I ever have any "me" time

This game had me by the short and curlies for 40-50 hours but after making one lv2 iron helmet and one lv1 iron pickaxe in solo I want to remove my brain with a corkscrew. I didn't even mind copper farming that much because it's just plain satisfying to rip that entire chunk out of the world and hand-truck your spoils back to camp, but iron? Whoever designed the crypts should be loving shot. It doesn't matter if you're looking for iron, chains, or bones, you still have to spend hours on end unclogging all those corridors. There is zero satisfaction in this.

Serious question: does playing in a group actually somehow make things go faster in spite of needing [times # of players] more materials, or does it just feel like less of a chore because you have company -- like any other game on the planet?

in the server launch bash script otherwise you'll need to do a bunch of annoying direct-IP adding nonsense in Steam to connect. Public makes it appear in the server list.
