Halman posted:Had a quick look through the last couple pages but didn't see anything, just picked this up but was wondering if there are any mods I should be looking at Here's the ones I like. Convenience mods: Instant Monster Loot Drop - Removes the delay between a mob dying and loot dropping. Better UI - Does a lot of nice things. Craft Build Smelt Cook Fuel Pull From Containers - Pulls materials from nearby chests to do all the things listed. Slope Combat FIX - Fixes not being able to attack up or down sloped terrain. Quick Stack - Pressing a hotkey will automatically deposit stuff in your inventory into nearby chests that already contain the item being deposited. Allows you to protect inventory slots from being auto-deposited. Show Container Contents - Shows the contents of a chest in a tooltip on mouseover. Hold Attack - Hold down the mouse button to keep attacking. Very handy for mining especially. BetterPickupNotifications - Better display of the items you just looted so it doesn't skip anything when picking up a lot of items. Clock - A display for the in-game time. Best to config it for its fuzzy display of "Evening", "Morning", etc. Slightly Cheaty: Snap Points Made Easy - When going to place a build piece pressing a hotkey will turn on snapping for that piece even if it's not lined up. Then you can press 2 other hotkeys to cycle through the snap points on the piece being placed and the target piece. Does let you do some snapping that's not possible without it. Terrain Tools - Lets you delete nearby terrain modifications with a console command. Handy for fixing mistakes. AnyPortal - Separates a portal's tag and its destination so any portal can be connected to any other portal. Destination portal tags are in a simple dropdown menu in the window where you set the portal's tag. Removes the need for a monstrous portal hub or keeping a list of portal tags to type in whenever you want to go anywhere. Mass Farming - Plant or harvest a square of perfectly spaced crops instead of one crop at a time. Farm Grid - Draws a grid in the world and snaps to it when planting to perfectly space crops. CropReplant - Automatically replant crops you harvest. Very Cheaty But So Handy: AutoMapPins With Configuration - Automatically adds map pins to your minimap and world map showing the location of crypts, berries, ore veins, etc. within a set radius. Pins are removed automatically when moving out of range unless you set them to save. Bigger Minimap Explore Radius - Large increase to exploration radius when sailing and smaller one when running around. Makes mapping coasts much better.

I would highly suggest getting an HD texture pack mod. Prettier games are better games. This one is the best I've tried but I've only done a couple. https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/1030?tab=description

This mod looks even better. Does it have much of an fps impact or is your rig too beefy to tell?

My base isn't very big yet (2 levels with a 20x20 base using 4x4 foundations) and I have an RTX 3080 (so fairly beefy) but I didn't notice any change in FPS (still hovering between 100-110fps @ 1440p). I did try the HD Valheim pack that's the first one when you google for HD Valheim Pack and that dropped my FPS by 20 to 80-90 and it didn't look as good as the Willybach one I linked.

Running down deer is super easy once you beat Eikther, I run them down and dropkick them to death all the time. Even easier with a knife. Although I mostly just casually toss a spear at them whenever its convenient now instead of actively hunting them at all, and I'm awash with deer products as a result. I hate the bow and do not plan on ever using it again for anything if I can help it. causticBeet posted:Are there any content mods that add Stuff To Do TM in the game world? There's OdinFlight that adds some late game equipment and a whole new exploration mechanic with its flight system. There's also a few mods that add in new enemies with new abilities (mostly variants of existing enemies, but still) including new bosses, or add stages to existing bosses to make them harder as they get lower on health. Finally, there's the magic mod that adds a spell system. That's all I can really think of for content mods. GlyphGryph fucked around with this message at 16:41 on Apr 30, 2021 |

I just carted back a few stacks of silver. What's the best way to get my bang for the buck in terms of silver? I see that the armor is frost resistant. Does that mean I won't need frost resist potions anymore?

The Wolf Chest Amour similarly for the Frost resist, but you can get that a bunch of other ways. Frostner is the other major consideration if you have the other materials for it.

Does that mean I won't need frost resist potions anymore? Wolf Cape, Frostner, Dragur Fang Bow, and Silver Buckler. The cape will provide you with frost resist, which I believe is a Boolean on or off - no point in stacking pieces. Should still be the first thing you spend silver on since it’s just so much easier than making frost potions, Silver Buckler is pretty cheap and shields are useful and generally one of the more important upgrades for a tier since parries are so OP. Dragur Fang is the bis bow and looks cool as hell, and the Frostner is similarly a super useful weapon. After that just fill out armor pieces based on what will be the biggest upgrade for the least silver spent. Without checking the values I want to say the drake helmet is a really good value. causticBeet fucked around with this message at 00:42 on May 1, 2021 |

You can also use a Lox cape if you happen to have poached some of those randomly. The armor is good (and the helmet looks pretty cool), if you don't have iron armor you should make it. If you do, skip it and just go for a shield and weapon of choice. Frostner is fun and you should try it, but a regular iron sword is just as effective. Draugr Fang is the top end bow so that's a good investment.

Bonemass was pretty overhyped in terms of difficulty and I can't imagine building a tower and a billion arrows to avoid fighting it. Gearwise i ended up having all iron armor and an iron mace, no upgrades on any of them, and a bronze buckler, likewise. I ended up using one medium healing mead but probably didn't need it, and one poison resist mead. All told iron-wise that was 80 iron, plus another 20 for the pickaxe. Food was turnip stew, sausages, and cooked fish, so nothing too extravagant there either. While there is clearly a lot more iron stuff to make, if you want to move quickly through tiers it isn't THAT much of a problem to get that iron, once you actually find some goddamn swamps with some crypts. That was roughly two good crypts (so, 4 total for me) worth.

I'm convinced that anyone that has issues with Bonemass has little or no experience with any sort of RPG. Even if we're scraping at the bottom of a barrel and going with Skyrim, a big part of the gameplay loop is unlocking new tiers of weapons and armor and actually using them.

Eh, they are nice to have but I haven't played many RPGs where the solution to something being difficult is to just grind out better equipment, that's a pretty old idea, generally more modern games attempt to make the process of finding things appealing enough that you do it anyway or otherwise pace the content to your level, in fact that's literally a thing for skyrim because the world is dynamically leveled. The approach of "this enemy is too hard so go and do something repetitive for a while until you have done it enough at which point it will be easier" is something I think I last experienced playing Secret of Mana.

Acquiring better fighting capabilites over the course of a game is, yes, but I haven't played any RPG since I was a child where I would describe the process as "grinding" in the sense that I have to go and do something I would not ordinarily do because the progression of difficulty and the progression of improvement do not line up. For the most part games have gotten much better at making the two occur together naturally.

per request for mods on the server, i'm looking to install bepinex and valheim+ on this google cloud console has anyone done this in linux? I grabbed the unix zip and extracted it, and edited the run_bepinex.sh scrip which wants you to point it at the executable. pointing it at vhserver doesn't work, since that's a bash script i tried pointing it at serverfiles/valheim_server.x86_64 , and got Unhandled Exception: System.MissingMethodException: void System.IO.File.WriteAllText(string,string) [ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.MissingMethodException: void System.IO.File.WriteAllText(string,string) anyone seen this?

For the most part games have gotten much better at making the two occur together naturally. So you should be able to complete the whole game with leather armor and flint weapons? (hyperbole, but you get what I'm saying) Many games have a component where you need to farm something to progress, this isn't something that's new or unique. It sounds like you're not a fan of those games, which is okay. But many people like those styles of games.

Requiring long stretches of repetitive grinding to unlock further process is perfectly fine, if you’re aiming to develop the hottest new release of 2003. These days it’s just lovely game design. I don’t think Valheim is particularly bad in that regard, AFAIK there’s no need to kill greylings for hour upon hour until you get that rare 0.3% drop or level your skill to a particular level.

These days it’s just lovely game design. Crafting bronze alone is a severe grind, followed by the sewer cleaning job you have to do for Iron. It's like the Norse version of Dirty Jobs, Odin just having you clean his lands of guck and rock.

It loving sucks that it comes with a -10% movement speed penalty for some reason, so I avoided it for as long as possible, and I imagine others did too. But Bonemass is really the beginning of armor being actually very useful.

Are carts and roads worth the effort? I'm still at the point in the game where I'm mining copper. I've taken to building little shelters near wherever I'm mining so that I can repair my antler pickaxe. Even with two pickaxes, I have to run back to repair before I am full of copper. Then I just take trips every now and then running the copper back to the main base. I feel like flattening everything for the cart and pulling the cart would be less efficient? Especially because the black forest has so many hills.

Depends on the amount you need. We’ve done it but it was building a large base for 4-6 people. With iron you can use a longship for the same thing which I found a lot easier.

This is just the two worlds I’ve seen so I don’t know if it’s generally possible but I feel it was far faster and/or less stressful to mine enough copper/tin to build a karve and then find the copper close enough to shore to just run back and forth between it and the boat. Yes there’s only 4 storage spots in a karve but there also aren’t any hills, trolls, and grey dwarves on the water. And tin is on the water anyways when you’re needing more of that.

I don't think anyone struggled, its just arrowing trolls and fire arrowing The Elder programmed their minds to think they gotta go into wussy-wuss mode everytime they fight something bigger than a greydwarf. Also if doing it in multiplayer, some deadweight players can make it drag on a tiny bit. Like I did it with 5 guys and 3 of them were too scared to get close and only shot arrows so it dragged on a bit. Ornery and Hornery posted:Are carts and roads worth the effort? Maybe I used it wrong but I hate the cart with a passion. It get stuck if the ground has a WRINKLE, even paving didn't help. I hope next expansion has a "gently caress realism, this is just to make the video game fun" level of cart upgrade that just has it flying up unsteep terrain.
