Looks like that latest patch nerfed the unlimited boar farm designs. They simply wont eat. Not surprised they put a stop to that clear exploit, a bit surprised nothing was mentioned in the changelog. I'll miss my 4x4 wall pen overflowing piglets onto the surrounding terrain.

Azhais posted:The game only renders the area around your character(s) so nothing is going to happen while you're away. No floating boats, no coming back to a destroyed house because the trolls gangbanged it while you were in swamp dungeons. No farm growth, no smelting, no nothing. Stasis is a pretty common mechanic in these sorts of games, Medieval Dynasty did it too. Not really, when I travel to my farm after a few days all the plants pop into fully grown form after a few seconds. When I get back home the kilns have exhausted whatever I put in them. Maybe it plays catch-up as I'm getting close, but it's effectively the same to me, and different from saying "your house didn't get knocked down" because that's not something the engine will catch up when you walk up to a troll that's already next to your house.

It's really easy to test this. 1) Build some portals 2) Build farm/smelters at one portal, and a bed at the other 3) Add stuff to your smelters/plant seeds/etc 4) Jump through portal to bed, sleep 5) Jump back to farm/smelters When you jump back, you should hear your smelter plunk out ore rapid-fire

Yeah that's the same thing as plants popping to full grown after you show up. Effectively it's the same, so it is worth it to plant stuff and fill kilns/smelters even if you're not gonna be somewhere for a while.

Certain events are timestamped, like plants growing. So if you pick some seeds and ignore the area for a week they'll respawn when you come back. Other stuff, like enemies, completely stop moving once players are out of the area. If you have an event and jump through a portal the event will never end (and your base will never take damage) until someone comes back to the area and activates all the mobs.

It's basically that timers still keep going (plants, smelters, wild plants respawning) but nothing actually happens unless a player is in the area. Hence the plants sprouting up instantly or a smelter vomiting out 10 ingots at once.

pik_d posted:The only thing about the sword I don't like is that it doesn't hit very effective on anything. Years of Pokemon games have me doing attack type matchups in Valheim. Clubs and bows cover quite a lot of the enemies you face. Yea, in the current state of the game blunt and piercing are the best regular damage types with clear strengths and weaknesses while slashing is neutral against everything that isn't resistant to it. If you can't shoot it to death due to resistance then it's probably weak to being bashed by a mace. One weapon I wrote off when I first started playing but is actually legit early game was the Club, for the low price of 30 bone fragments you can upgrade it to max for 30 damage a swing, 5 less then a tier 1 bronze mace, but it only takes 5 stamina to swing instead of 15, has 50 more durability then the t1 metal mace and can be repaired anywhere you have access to wood for crafting benches.

I'm a little nervous to see how the monsters attacking my bases go. I would rather have monsters attack me and ignore my base. I spent far too much time building my bases and I would rather not have to redo any of it. That being said I have been making heavy use of the raise ground tool for elevated bases so hopefully that will protect me.

I'm rapidly losing motivation to play this game. I can only get in about an hour every other day, and that involves exploring every mountain biome I can find (7 large and innumerable not-so-large) looking for Moder's altar or any stone building at all that might have the vesigr in it -- I haven't seen a single stone building in the mountains! I'm wearing my wishbone and marking a ton of silver... I've already maxed all my silver/wolf-tier gear. Any tips for finding this drat thing?

It suprises me that you haven't found any stone structures as in the mountains I'm in the process of exploring I have already found 4 stone structures. Granted none of them have shown where Moder is, but it still suprises me you haven't found any stone structures.

If that's really killing the game for you and you still want to keep progressing, you could just start up a world using that seed with all five boss altars near the spawn point, kill Moder and get the tears, then go back to your other world and keep on going.

There is a world generator online that will show you your full map if you put in the seed, including bosses, if you just want to find Moder in your world too. Apparently not every world will have Moder.

As Ravenfood said, get your world seed and plunk it into this world generator if you want to keep playing and just get past this one sticking point: https://valheim-map.world/ It will show you all the possible locations for each boss (assuming you click that checkbox).

On my solo play I basically decided that if I didn't find $boss naturally by the time I finished crafting everything I wanted from that biome, I'd just look it up. I ended up having to look up Moder, the trader, and the Elder, everything else I ran into naturally in the end.

The gently caress is the secret to building docks in this game? Every youtube video makes it look terrible and tedious, and building it on land and then digging down tot he water isn't viable either since you end up swimming in shallow rear end water and Wet, so that's even more tedious. Someone give me some sort of dock building secret knowledge.

Can't really build too far out with those unless you pick your site well.

You just have to accept that building docks is not a feature of the game. There are numerous work arounds but nothing can really cover for the fact that the devs didn't intend for you to build docks.

Every youtube video makes it look terrible and tedious, and building it on land and then digging down tot he water isn't viable either since you end up swimming in shallow rear end water and Wet, so that's even more tedious. As someone who absolutely loves building cool looking docks, I have a bunch of secrets! Unfortunately, things ARE a lot more tedious than they used to be, since they changed raise land from "raise to this height" to "raise up one unit", but you can start by raising some land and squaring off a section to hook the dock onto that gives a good angle into the water. This isnt strictly necessary, but I always have extra stone so I usually start here. Next, you want to download https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/299 All this does is give you manual control of the games autosnapping, which imo is something the game really should have by default because it makes things just... so much *nicer*, and is really the key to making most complex builds less painful. Once youve got that, you want to build your frame - start as low as you can get using core wood full and half pieces, and then build out as far as you can along the sea floor, dropping an underpiece at every join for support. You can then extend the frame up and across and repeat to get it out further, or you can get a boat and do the whole base first. Actually mod or not, building a raft makes a lot of water builds easier, especially if you're adding details after the frame is complete. I usually don't bother for the frames themselves, and instead opt for building temporary platforms/floor pieces attached to the frame sides for me to stand on and build from. Having a raft nearby can still be useful in case you accidentally fall in or get swept off by a wave - otherwise youll also want to add regular access stairs as you get further out. When the frame is done, tile over the top and add details and you're done. I love building docks and bridges, and if you want to get cool stuff in the water that also goes up here there's a couple more tricks that you can use but for a dock those aren't really necessary or desirable.

The BepInEx winhttp.dll file should have arrived there with three other files and three directories, including the BepInEx directory. How did you install BepInEx? I recommend grabbing it via manual download from Thunderstore; inside the zip, just extract everything inside the BepInExPack_Valheim directory into steamapps\common\Valheim. You should end up with the directories you're missing.

It is generally tedious and terrible. What I found worked much better on my second pier was to raise tiny strips of land out into the sea and then build on that, but that was before the latest change to Raise Ground, so it might not even work any more.

My long term hope for boats in Valheim is something equivalent to the Cyclops from Subnautica (and a reason to have it). Forget a built in chest, make it a cargo hold where you can build your own chests. Bonfire on the deck, hearths below. Space for all your crafting benches and upgrades. Hang a Karve over the side for lowering into the water (I also want pulleys).

Hang a Karve over the side for lowering into the water (I also want pulleys). I cheated and loaded up a cart, then filled it, then drove it onto the boat and smashed it. This created a bunch of cargo boxes sitting on the Karve, and then you just remove everything except 1 thing in one slot, so they don't despawn (in my case, I just left a single stone in each box). A few fell over the side, but I got 4 of them on there, so that's 12 extra slots of cargo space. Tedious and dumb, but it's an option. Ideally they just make the boat system more robust and let you upgrade parts of the boat.
