The theory I heard about the pigs is that there are floating point precision issues when respawning them when reloading an existing area, and that can cause their respawn location to clip to the other side of a narrow wooden fence. Replacing the wood fences with stone walls stopped the issue for me altogether, which definitely makes it seem accurate.

Stone walls didn't really help me with the issue to the point where I gave up.

I have a poltergeist in one of my houses. Every few days, a piece of the front roof will fall off. I'll put it back up. It's attached to a deep green piece which itself is attached to stone, it was fine for weeks. Now it likes falling. I put some (unnecessary) vertical supports under it just for fun.

Then the stone archway under the front door collapsed. These are blue pieces. I put them back up.

The falling pieces are adjacent to each other, and were up forever before these random collapses started. It's not mobs, because these pieces are on a house that is completely surrounded by 5 stone high outer walls. Nothing else has collapsed.

This only seems to happen if I'm manually walking to the base from an excursion, not if I teleport in or stay around. My working theory is that when I approach the perimeter of when the game starts to draw in my structures, the pieces are loading in an order that loads these pieces before the supporting pieces, and the calculation that has them fall occurs before the rest of the structure gets loaded.

If I'm right, I have zero idea what to do about it.

I have the same issue with 2 stone bricks in my big portal tower. Every few times I return to base they'll be gone with the stone sitting underneath. Thankfully it didn't cause a chain collapse.

Making a 1 tile wide trench also maximizes the space usage. Make the trenches 6 tiles apart and you can get 6 pigs in each one. Any closer and they won't breed.

No good deed goes unpunished

Do you have to have the animals in an enclosure to breed them? I managed to two tame wolves. Can I just leave them out by the back yard with a pile of meat?

Here's my experience: we left two tame wolves and a pile of meat in town. They eventually bred into a pack of over 20 wolves, who then got so aggro'd they tore down the fortress walls to murder all the greydwarves and trolls outside. A few stayed back, but most of them ran off into the woods to rampage and upset the local ecosystem.

I just found out the cultivator's "grass" mode restores dirty brown snow to pristine white, and I'm so happy. The fact that you can have fuckoff huge whiteout blizzards but it didn't cover up dirty snow was highly triggering!

No, but it helps. Tamed animals have a chance to breed when they are happy (read: not hungry or frightened), in close proximity to another happy animal of the same species, and not in the immediate vicinity of more than 5 other tamed animals, including themselves. (Immediate vicinity = a sphere of 6 tile spaces)

If you see for example 2 tamed wolves or boars and they are roaming around with no enclosure, you can throw food on the ground and they will generally come eat it. They will become Happy and if they don't wander off in different directions, they can breed. Having an enclosure just makes sure they don't wander off and the chance of breeding becomes effectively 100%

Here are a couple screens of my set up. It's great for keeping a huge stock of meat for when I need it. Usually I just get meat from hunting and this is just a backup, but I can get ~100 meat from culling these out in about 2 minutes.

Have boar breeders not gotten set up in plains? I just rotate lox meat, lox pie (lox meat+barley+cloudberries from plains, way more plentiful than rapsberries) and bread (barley), with honey supplanting for bread most of the time. It's so much less effort than sausage and cookdd meat just doesn't cut it

Why not turnip stew? 50/50 stam/health and you can farm both turnips and meat.

Farming turnips/carrots is way more busywork than flax/barley

Lemme check food values

Lox 70/40
Lox pie 80/80
Bread 40/70


Vs
Meat 40/30
Sausage 60/40
Turnip stew 50/50
So turnips are more balanced but take more effort, and it's just the same ingredients pumped up for the top 3. Lox are easy to hunt and drop 5 meat each so you can really stock up fast on them
Or if you have blood bags laying around, blood pudding is 90/50 which is even crazier, but I don't bother farming leeches outside of prepping for a boss fight. I did yagluth with blood pudding, serpent stew and lox pie and had insane amounts of health

Once you get fully setup in the plains you have functionally infinite lox pie and bread. My current barley farm I plant 500 barley, so harvest time is 500 back in and 500 for bread/lox pies. I usually get two full stacks of each per harvest, which is only a couple game days.

There's this: https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/415

It basically checks over all the terrain-height-adjustment objects and applies them to a permanent heightmap that gets read instead of thousands of objects. I haven't tested it though, and it sounds like once you put this on a world you can't take it off without damage (not surprising) and it doesn't have multiplayer support yet. Hopefully it continues to get development though, sounds promising as a fix until IronGate puts something out.

drat, just had my first death in a while, died against Bonemass. I could kind of tell about midway through the fight that I wasn't going to make it, then I got sloppy and missed blocking two of his swings (once while in a green cloud and couldn't see, then once while fighting adds).

I thought about running and healing up, how does that work on bosses? Would he have pretty much just stayed in his little altar area?

I ended up dumping my stamina swinging on him and got him to about 10% before I went down, then respawned and ran in, grabbed my corpse, equipped my mace, and finished him off while naked but protected by the corpse run buff.

I fought him with another player and we tag teamed out into a crypt with a campfire inside to restore rested status. Not sure if that works solo, but it might. I believe he regenerates health, however, so you wouldn't want to hide for too long. The easier answer is to bring 10x medium healing and stamina meads with you into the fight (on top of your poison resist meads) and just use as necessary.

How long was your fight? I guess this also might have been the wrong strategy, but I just slugged it out with him face to face and it was under 3 minutes total. I popped my heal and stamina potions about a minute in, but they didn't refresh by the time I went down. The final corpse run assault was like 10-15 seconds.
