I do wish we could play with world gen settings a little more. Two big continents with a smattering of small islands would be cool.

Boats are safest when you leave them a bit out to sea where the mobs will have a hard time swimming out to attack them. As long as no one is standing/sitting in the boat it won't drift off. It seems to keep completely still other than rising/falling with the wave action.

Killed the mountain boss which was an anticlimactic fight since the dragon doesn't do anything 50% of the time when it's stuck in some rocks like an idiot. Funny though. At this point the game really started to feel to me like an early access game. Not really enjoying the plains, everything hits like a truck and takes forever to kill. If I aggro more than a couple of Fulings I'm essentially forced to run away until they deaggro, which makes doing anything here tedious as hell. I might be done until the next update, tbh. Still really enjoyed the 60+ hours I sunk into this game in a week, looking forward to the game being fleshed out further.

Anyone ran into an issue when digging a moat of a section that won't go as low as the rest? There's a chunk behind my house that just won't go low enough to let water in. Really annoying  I hit it with a pick and nothing happens. Looks the same as every other part. I love it overall anyways. Took loving forever though, holy poo poo

Really annoying As far as I can tell there's basically a "bedrock" heightmap that I believe is the same as the starting dirt heightmap, just subtracting several meters, so probably the original ground level in that spot was just a little bit too high to be able to get it to water depth.

The original heightmap that the world is generated with can only be raised or lowered by ~4 "units" (a wall piece height). When digging down your effective floor is often when you hit the water table, but if you're starting from a high enough elevation, you'll hit that limit first.

I spent a big long time the other day getting one line of wall down. I figure the walled in area is the richer area of town. The only interesting part is the guard house atm.  Here's my pig farm, with a little spot for them to sleep, I'm actually gonna have to move this later, but I like their little house    I made a whole rear end lighthouse. to get a huge fire in there I had to raise the land the whole way up and then trim the edges, you can't just plop it on stone like the others. It also just... goes out every 30 seconds...  My market area. This is pretty fun so far. I gotta see what I can and can't place on the stalls.  And finally for the moment, those vikings sure did like to poo poo in weird positions

I built a little entrance for our village but I can't figure out why some of the beams get damaged constantly, while others don't. At first I thought it was the water, but other beams are in the water and don't get damaged. I raised the ground, and they still get damaged? In the picture below the red arrows point to the beams that get damaged, the blue to beams that don't. I stayed around, and they don't get damaged by enemies!

Ok so here's a big exploit for server admins. Don't look at this if you don't want to be tempted to do some cheaty fuckery as a server admin. So you can't use the player cheats to move around on your server, even if you have admin access. What you can do is this: 1) Download your server world through FTP 2) log on to that map in single player. 3) use player cheats to move to your desired location 4) log off and then long on to your online server. Your position on the map is apparently saved to your character for each map id so your position on the offline version will equal your position on the online version. I used this to fill one of my players death bags with the contents of a death bag that had gotten eaten by a glitch so he didn't have to start over from flint. I could have just given him the stuff but that seemed more cheaty so now he can go get it.

If I aggro more than a couple of Fulings I'm essentially forced to run away until they deaggro, which makes doing anything here tedious as hell. Gonna spoiler this for folks who want to learn about plains stuff for themselves. It's mostly generic strategy/tactics stuff for dealing with the beasties there, though, not any spoilers about the boss: Using Bonemass' power is extremely helpful in the plains, especially when taking on Fuling camps, but yeah, you do need to have your ducks in a row by this point concerning gear, food items, and healing/stamina mead. Regular Fulings themselves actually go down pretty easily if you have an upgraded silver weapon (I cut through swathes just fine with a silver sword), and the black steel sword I'm now rocking eats them for breakfast. It is important to not engage too many at once, though (when attacking camps, you can aggro small groups at a time with a bow), and you have to be extra careful around star versions; these can break through even upgraded black steel shield blocks (although the tower version might be able to stop them, I guess?), so you really want to isolate and 1-on-1 them when possible, moving back from their attacks instead of blocking and then quickly diving in with a heavy attack before they can swing again. Also Lox are really easy to kill with the silver-tier spear. Their sluggish attacks can be blocked and parried effectively by a silver shield, and when they're stunned you can get in a ton of damage with rapid spear thrusts to the head. It usually only takes me about 3-4 rounds of parry/thrust to bring one down. The Lox meat you gain is a fantastic food source, as you can just roast it on the spit as you do with regular meat instead of having to worry about combining it with a million different things in the pot like other high-tier foodstuffs (though as you progress, you will unlock a recipe that utilizes it in something even better). By itself, it gives you like 70 health and lasts a really long time, so go to town on some Lox (Loxen?) asap and get that meat because it'll help you a lot.

Well, if we're still map-posting, here's my current map: I finally got the core-thingos needed to make a smelter+kiln, so I've now been able to get myself some bronze nails for a karve! To celebrate I've been exploring the outer coastlines of the north and west - I actually managed to find some swamp too, up in the north-west! Now I'm torn between finishing off exploring the huge eastern island, or just jumping straight over to the northern island, establishing an outpost near the edge of a meadow/black forest, then taking a look at the swamplands. But in the meantime, now all I need to do is scout the rivers and straits in the west, then find the last of the southern islands. EDIT: I kinda wish there was a toggle to hide the icons (or at least the text) so that you can get a better view/screenshot of the map itself

How do you guys choose where to put bases? It's always in meadows near other biomes, and by water for boats? Just trying to plan out where to put a portal vs where to put a forward base. The second boss is super far for me to get to , and I don't see swamp or mountain biomes anywhere Also, what's the best way to stop sailing and go check out a building? I was assuming run around on sand but from what people are saying I should just stop the boat a bit off land and swim?

I'm starting to question my dream of living on a private island. I built a nice little cabin on a decently elevated rock on a small island close to the coast. Just as I was about to rest, a storm (or just extreme full moon tides?) came out of nowhere and the waves swelled up to rogue wave levels! Suddenly I was drowning in my own house. I managed to escape to the roof where I slowly died of exposure as the waves extinguished all my camp fires inside the building and I didn't have enough resources left to a new one and protect it from heavy rain. To add insult to injury, I don't even have any screenshots because I forgot that I had turned off all overlays.

Bumping into a new island and slapping up a new outpost is the best part of the game, and pushing into the new territory to see what riches you can find is a close second. In multiplayer the frenzy of activity to get the basics up and running asap is glorious. I hope long term they (or the inevitable clones that will be made of this game) lean into that mechanic, some kind of system where resources get richer the further from 0,0 you explore and there's a game reason to need ever increasing amounts of "stuff."

Oozes are pretty slow, they are easy to pick apart at a distance, or by poking them whenever they do one of their jumps. Alternatively, make some poison resistance meads, they should make your life much easier.

Poison resistance meads will lower poison damage to extremely small levels that's mostly covered by food regen. You really, really want to have a poison resistance buff running all the time whenever you're doing anything in the swamp.

A longhouse is just a rectangular log cabin though?? Maybe with some 45 degree beams along the outside to sell the illusion. And slap some gates on the short ends.
