Shield question and base defense question. Tower shields vs bucklers - do you guys find parrying better than fully absorbing an attack even at the risk of taking more damage? Getting the stagger and an uninterrupted shot at 1-3 crits is pretty nice, but also just being able to hold block and eat all the damage is pretty sweet too. Haven’t tried 2h weapons much yet, tho; that might change things. For base defense I’ve just been sticking stakes out by the entrances where Greydwarves like to spawn - I was thinking maybe dig a dry moat with stakes on top might be the easiest option? They don’t seem to do too much damage to walls yet, as long as you’re checking on things every so often.

I uh, made a big catch and have a pretty good shield now; stats are def better than comparable tower shields even at base level. I haven’t actually noticed a ton of stamina drain from blocking with it but I’ll compare to the banded shield I made last night.

I haven’t actually noticed a ton of stamina drain from blocking with it but I’ll compare to the banded shield I made last night. Stamina comes into play vs mobs that hit for a lot of damage. You'll still block 99% of the damage but you'll take the stamina hit as if you took the damage. It really starts to show how bad towers are when you start trying to block mobs in the plains biome. Blocking becomes nearly pointless because you'll just end up at 99% health but 0 stamina, which means you're dead.

I just installed this and intended to play for ten minutes, then looked up and an hour had flew by. Easily the best first impression any survival/crafting game has ever made. Obviously I'm still in the very early stages, but what stands out so far is the way that things like eating are presented as bonuses rather than obligations you need to do to avoid severe penalties. It's a seemingly minor difference, yet it shifts my mindset and makes the whole experience more enjoyable.

Is there a limit to how densely you can plant tree seeds, like carrots? I want my tree farm area to be as tight as possible for maximum domino, but not at the expense of wasting a lot of seeds if there's a limit. I'm sure other people figured this out too or maybe it's just obvious, but you can bring Fir and Pine seeds back to your safe meadows areas and plant tree farms for those tier 2 woods without having to make trips to the Black Forest.

Yo where da FUq is iron! We've hit a wall (lol) with technology because we can't find iron. Having a great time though. Accidentally built a base near a troll cave. Have to fight trolls now and then before they destroy my buddies extremely tenacious city on stilts. Still get wrecked by wolves when i get near mountains. Found a cool draugr spawn and farmed gutz for like 30 mins.

Found a cool draugr spawn and farmed gutz for like 30 mins. Go to where those draugrs are spawning, should be in a swamp biome. You need to look out for the dungeons in the swamp biomes that are marked by green torches outside of it. Use the key that you got for killing boss #2 to open up the dungeons. You may need to look around for other swamp biomes depending on how large the one you were at is, I think I sailed around and found 4 or 5 of them before finally getting one big enough to have a couple of the dungeons in them. Keep a lookout for the janky bare trees in the distance to easily identify a swamp if you're boatin' around.

Our group has built a reasonably large primary settlement, but now the outermost wall is large enough that random idiots spawn inside it and trample the crops. Is there a way to prevent this, and do we really know anything about the game's spawn logic in general?

I believe crafting benches prevent enemy spawns within a certain radius, so just line your walls with those and make sure they more or less cover your habitation zone.PIZZA.BAT posted:Another thing that I'm actually unsure of that someone else may be able to answer: Do your death drops also get deleted from the server after a few in-game days?

I believe enemies will not spawn within a workbench's efftive radium, so you should build small network of them to cover your whole base.

Heads up though, the poo poo weighs a lot more than copper/tin so I suggest bringing a boat nearby to dump stuff in so you can sail it back home. If you get lucky you can get 100+ iron from a single crypt!

If wards are hidden inside walls you have to smash your way in the old fashioned way.
