In my experience its the height of the ground being above the wave level that matters, an earth wall at the edge of shore hasn't stopped waves for me.

xzzy posted:There's no fluid simulation in the game, it's just a wavy mesh that rises up and down. So if you don't want any water to clip through your base you need to build above the highest point water can reach.

OK, hope it'll let me build that high, and that I can get the stone. I guess I could maybe just get the fires up there so they don't go out, and live with some occasional swimming. Hmm.

I have only about 12 hours in this game and I read there are tides. How high or low they might be? I noticed waters near my beach base going bit higher or lower, about half a meter maybe, does it ever go higher?

Clitch posted:The worst part about the tombstone inventory thing is that Valheim doesn't auto-stack like items, so if you run over 2 pieces of wood and a greydwarf eye while running back to your corpse, oops, you're over your inventory space limit. Get rekt while you try to toss poo poo and get your armor back. It's another one of those basic QoL things that I don't know why they aren't in before EA release. Even Grounded didn't have paper doll armor slots at release, and that's a AAA studio. They made sure their hunger and thirst mechanics were tuned for tedium, and you only got half your mats on building refunds, though! The one thing I really want is something like the sort inventory button from satisfactory, which both sorts and auto-combines stacks.

Fruits of the sea posted:Our base is like a vortex of bugs, although they mostly occur when 3+ people are online. Mushrooms and wood levitate up into the air. It takes about half a minute for the 20-odd pigs to pop in to my Pig Hole. Invincible greylings are running in place or teleporting through walls. Doors only open for some players so our current method of egress is jumping out of windows. One bonus feature is that we can cram an extra 10 or so ore and coal into the forges before the game updates. Try not to terraform so much in your new base. Terraforming seems to be the biggest lag generator

But it's always your last tool, not your weapons. They should make the T button always pull weapons or something.

Terraforming seems to be the biggest lag generator Yeah, I figured that out some days ago but the damage was already done  The moat, terraced forest, underground cellar, docks dredging, pig hole, raising/lowering ground to get campfires on the second floor of buildings, miscellaneous flattening for projects... I should probably take some screenshots before we abandon home.

Hmm. I had this same issue with my current base. Build your floor just above the water by putting down walls and building the floor on top of them, and then reinforce with beams as needed. If you need more reinforcement, you can build stone pillars under the floor as needed. Then just raise up only the parts of the ground that your hearth etc. need to be on. As a side effect you'll have a nice unfinished basement area you can put all your workbenches that are only there to allow base construction! I don't have a good solution for docks/boathouses though. No matter what I do, they get flooded during high tide and hard to reach the boat during low tide.

After a dozen plains corpse runs past deathskitoes, I finally learned a way to not get ganked. for a long time I was bringing old shields until I finally ran out of old shields, then I realized if you just rolled away when they come in for the attack dive you can dodge them indefinitely.

ChristsDickWorship posted:Or make a last-equipped button like an fps so its one press to go back and forth from tool to weapons, or melee to bow Exactly. For me it was most prevalent when mining silver. I'd hear the drakes coming, break out the bow, then hear the wolves coming. I'd have to dodge-roll while fumbling for the shield/weapon combo etc. A single key for all 3 setups would be great.

While we're talking simple things we'd like, I'd like a button press to "snap under" and "switch sides" while building. Or some sort of way to do manually the sort of placements the game is willing to do automatically with things overlapping. Or both!

As much as I love doing this as well, I got bit by a related thing the other day. Had 7 serpent meat, and 3 cooking racks on the hearth. I rapid clicked to throw 6 meats on to cook. 5 meats ended up on the racks and two were deleted from existence.

One thing I’d wish I’d started doing earlier: Create a pier into deeper water instead of dredging. I’m fairly certain some of my inverted/exploded boats were because the boat spawned on original dangerous terrain and terraforming redraw took too long.

Terraforming seems to be the biggest lag generator There's a mod for that: https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/235 It'll let you find the areas with tons of terrain edits and undo them. Though this might make some structures die, so you might want to test it on a copy of your world file first if there are some parts you want to keep.

I’m fairly certain some of my inverted/exploded boats were because the boat spawned on original dangerous terrain and terraforming redraw took too long. My main bases has a stone pier that goes straight out and then wooden docks one staircase lower that come out perpendicular to it. The wooden parts occasionally flood over but the stone is about a foot above the highest water line so I can always get in/out from the pier when it's choppy, or from the dock when it's calm.

Are the terraforming costs incurred per-tile, or per-change? Like if I mine one single square 8 times, does it get counted only once (base height -> adjust to new height), or 8 times?

Honestly if that's the thing causing issues I have to imagine that'll get fixed in time. "All" it would take is simply updating a new default so it only has to translate the changes once. Obviously that's easier said than done for a team of 5...

bus hustler posted:Using the shelf-stacking technique i've gotten pretty good at dropping small useful bases that don't really require a lot of changes to the land Yeah building shelves has been pretty great for that. I think I've got a pretty decent looking but also practical setup of a fenced mining encampment consisting of a forge/workshop shed with smelter/kiln in the back, a sleeping/cooking hall, and portal building all spaced roughly evenly around a circle, entrances facing in, with the gate being the 4th in the circle. I'm still building variations on that based in environment (I've got my eye on a swamp tree fort) but it's a decent overall look of "inhabited living area carved into wilderness" that is nice.

When you start the game it should spawn a terminal first that spits out a bunch of unity loading information - if you don't see that no mods are going to work.

It's not necessary at all, but the Nexusmods.com Vortex mod manager will also try to install and set up any dependencies you might need (like BepInEx). Kind of a heavyweight option, but it might be worth trying if you are struggling to get mods working (because gently caress having to manually pull wood out of a chest to use it)..
