Probably wouldn't look as cool as I hope but I really want to see a tree house town meet lumberjack dominoes and see what's left standing. Posting a screenshot of an outpost / harbor I've been working on to make up for my shameful snipe. Finally getting the hang of building out into the water and made a fancy boathouse around our longship but now that it went to sea it won't fit back in without the perfect wind and tide combination which hasn't happened yet so now the boat lives lives on a regular old dock instead. Is there a way to disable the HUD or point the camera in a Viking-less direction for better game photography? Stanley Goodspeed fucked around with this message at 11:59 on Feb 19, 2021 |

I'm considering dropping 15 bucks on a month of server hosting for me and my friends as kinda just a fun thing to do. I know this is inefficient when I could just run a dedicated server myself but I also am not really savvy about that sort of thing and would rather hand over a few bucks and not have to think about it. Does anyone know how individual worlds work with the premium server hosts? Do you make a world and upload the file on a web interface, and that becomes the world the server is hosting? Or do those services generally generate a world themselves and that world is the only one that can be on the server? Also, any recommendations on premium hosting? I had an Ark server a few years ago through Nitrado and it worked...fine but also their website felt really sketchy at the time like I was relying on my credit card's fraud protections or something.

The very fist tree I cut down went physics crazy, the bottom kicked oit instead of the tree falling over and it gunned me before I even knew what happened. I've been playing nonstop ever since.

I noticed that while I couldn't damage a giant oak tree, falling trees sure could. So I basically sent a barrage of trees down onto it until it fell. Then I realize I could push the log up a hill, so queue a half hour of my rolling the giant oak log up a hill and then letting it go to crash into trees that would fall over and damage it. Finally got the wood from it and was saddened to learn all I could make from it was new furniture. Also, I cleared out my first crypt last night. Found a bunch of bones and cubes and gems. Another couple and I'll probably look into finding a seed with an easily accessible merchant. All in all I'm incredibly stoked to see what this game will bring in the future. There are a few planned updates but given their sales and the hype, I wonder if they'll plan more, or do expansions It reminds me of Conan Exiles, but somehow better.

If you are that early in your game, I'd say spend at least a bit of time making the Karve (2nd boat) and sailing around your starting island to look for him, most of the time I've heard people find him somewhere on the islands next to it (I did in my own and our MP server)

I'm just going where the wind takes me. We've reached the edge already. If he's not a 2km distance reveal, do I need to get out at every Black Forest and run through it or will the shore be close enough?

I'd just use a seed to shop, honestly. My friends spent six hours looking, we still haven't found him on our two week old server with us scattering across the world.

I used that 42069lolxd seed and the merchant wasn't where the map I found pointed to (south) but instead east. It was a relatively short run from a shoreline after a little boating over to fight the elder. I dunno why it wasn't where I expected it to be though, maybe I needed a caps or something? Is there a gear recommendation for swamps? I floated around until I found one and the leeches weren't bad but the draugr were pretty tough, and their arrows hurt like hell. I saw the green torch spot, and I think two crypts near it, but I dunno if I need to upgrade my junk or what before trying to get into the crypts. It's just bronze armor/shield with bronze sword/spear/mace at level one. Maybe I need to bother finding bees and making potions or something?

You can upgrade your bronze, if they're hurting too much. But I found that just grabbing level 1 Iron stuff after a couple of painful attempts was enough to make the swamps a non issue

I did my first crypt runs wearing level 2 troll armor, level 3 bronze mace, sword and shield. You should probably take the time to make poison resistance because otherwise you will need to bow down every slime and it's just all around going to be a slog. 6 poison resistance potions was enough to raid 3 crypts before running out, but at that point my boat and personal inventories were full. I had heard that the mace was better against draugr but I'm really only seeing a boost against the slimes. Personally I prefer the fast attack of the sword over the knock back from the mace.

Oh, I guess I wasn't doing a crypt, I was doing a barrow? Whatever is in the Black Forest. I normally really dislike drop loot on death, corpse run type games, but for some reason I'm enjoying this and it's somewhat exhilarating. That said, I haven't had an attack on my base yet, but I do wish I could toggle raids or invasions or whatever off. At least until I take the time to make a proper base with walls and such. Though if I do wond up doing lots of flattening/building/etc land I will mostly likely console in stone, because eff spending (and mining) thousands of stone to do it.

Well I can make poison pots, it'll just take a bit. I didn't REALLY want to upgrade stuff needs copper was getting tedious but I suppose I can just drop a portal and forge stuff somewhere after finding another collection of ores. Maybe I'll plop a portal over by the swamp and try a suicidal run to see how tough it gets or if I can cheese my way around.

 I think I was pretty lucky with where my trader was. You can basically see on the map where I noticed the tag and turned left. Also, I almost want to kill Moder again for her trophy, but she's such a pain to summon solo. Decisions, decisions...

Used SteamCMD on a fresh Win10 system and it was a breeze. I realized I didn't have a power supply for my old i7 920 system, but had a newer system with an i3 7100 that's actually not too shabby! We get a little bit of lag when chopping down trees but it's manageable. Hoping to get all 5 of us in the server at the same time this weekend to see how bad it gets.

I know this is inefficient when I could just run a dedicated server myself but I also am not really savvy about that sort of thing and would rather hand over a few bucks and not have to think about it. If you’re willing to a bit more tinkering you can get a Google VPS (a virtual machine) going for free for 90 days and more credit than you could realistically use. Doesn’t auto charge you either. You could be up and running in about 15 minutes and have full access to your files and so forth. Nothing against the services that just just the server for you, but they’re doing the same thing and charging you for the trouble. Shoot me a PM of you have any questions and I can help walk you through.

I uhhh I really should have done more work today but they just extended our lockdown by 9 weeks so....  I tried to set down the stone paths and they were ugly as hell so instead I set about paving areas properly, this is a lot of stone that I dug out in my portal quarry.   Here's the bridge I wanted to build since I moved here, it leads back towards my tiny farmhouse I built on first night. The house with the chimney is an old abandoned one I fixed up. Also that little raft was a godsend, I dunno how else to make bridges, even if I can't sail under it.   And finally for today the side of my new house (with some of the stumps from the metric gently caress tonne of trees I needed to plant) and my smithy area which is closed off in case of fires

In my case, my storage system was built with small chests because that's all I had access to when I built it. I imagine I will eventually rebuild it with the iron chests but it's a low priority.

Can anyone confirm if sconces burn resin more efficiently than regular torch stands? I haven't been able to do a good side by side experiment but it certainly seems like it takes longer to consume a resin in addition to being able to store 6 at a time.
