If you want to move ores quickly. Logout to another seed. Dump ores in container. Log back to original seed. Portal to intended destination. Logout and log back with your ill gotten ores you lazy git. e: or just install a mod for it ofcourse. Ikonoklast fucked around with this message at 08:05 on Sep 23, 2021 |

Blaise330 posted:Modern games need fast travel to hide their 98% empty worlds that they made to brag about how large it is God, yes. Case in point: Even though I just said all that about portals and W3, I'm currently playing through Assassins Creed: Valhalla and I started enjoying the game a lot more when I began focusing almost exclusively on the main quest and liberally fast traveling. Like you say, the open world in that game is so hollow that ignoring it makes a dramatic improvement. On the other hand, Ghost Recon breakpoint, played on harder difficulty and with few UI aids, is a legitimately good stealth/action game and, interestingly, the open world isn't any more detailed than Valhalla but, because the game play is based on stealth that can devolve into punishing firefights and there are unique mechanics like hiding from drones, the overland travel still feels meaningful. But also, Breakpoint's fast travel locations are more like staging areas; you never teleport to exactly where you need to be, it's always a secluded camp that you have to move out from, which made much more likely to use them. Underappreciated game. Jack B Nimble fucked around with this message at 14:28 on Sep 23, 2021 |

I've also been using Terraheim and Epic Loot to spice up the game, which were also included in this modpack called Valheim Reforged that came out yesterday and I ended up downloading since it felt fairly lightweight. Even alone the game feels so much fun and I have many more fiddly bits like magic weapons to play around with. I might revert the mod allowing metal teleportation just because I do legitimately enjoy building new outposts and hauling freight between them. Hopefully the modder working on Valheim Reforged gets around to integrating the new monster mods from before while keeping Magic Overhaul out, or at least letting it be disabled. I dunno why Do or Die needs Magic Overhaul to work, I just don't care for the class system it adds.

I think portals in their current incarnation would be perfectly fine if you didn't need hundreds of pounds of metal to make a loving helmet. In fact a lot of my problems with the game would be solved if that weren't the case.

It takes 240 pounds of iron ingots to make a 15 pound shirt of mail. The belt that increases max weight capacity helps but then you're down one of your precious inventory slots.

After the adjustment, I'm liking the food system changes a lot more than I thought I would or expected to given the discourse around them. My current group and I started a new world and I stood up a dedicated server and we've been having a blast figuring things out (shout out to that docker image by lloesche by the way - as a non computer toucher I got an old Mac mini running Ubuntu and that image in my basement, wired in to my router, in around 2 hours, much of which was spent downloading things). We did bring our gear and our spare metal, but have had to get more of all of them for various things. It can be confusing learning what food is optimal effort/reward and how to balance stamina and health, and starting on a new server our farm was much smaller at first and that's made getting good stamina food a lot harder. That said, now we're reliably producing enough turnips and onions for our group, things are feeling better and I'm looking forward to bread way more than I thought I would be. Situated ourselves on a little island with the elder and a small and entirely tamed slice of plains for farming in the southwest of the map, Bonemass east across the water, a huge mountain west across the water with some visible towers where fingers crossed there could be a vegvisir. I'm really looking forward to getting our gear up and trying yagluth with this group. We have a builder in the crew who doesn't want us to kill elder until he finishes his great hall because of invasions, so I built a big stake wall and trench and am hoping he'll come around to us progressing the bosses - we brought our metals and gear to the new world and are basically ready to kill Moder except for this holdup and I want to put all the barley and flax I've farmed to use. Hunting lox and tar in unupgraded silver armor is fun, but it's tough. I suppose I should go farm out some more silver from one of the like five or six nodes I've discovered but I'm too busy exploring to deal with shipping. Anyway, game good.

Welp, I just got mauled by wolves, then respawned into a troll invasion, then died again to a 1-star wolf that didn't despawn overnight and mauled right through my bronze gear. I really hope we get some kind of softcore mode that doesn't drop items (or at least not equipped items) on death because "corpse runs" are loving godawful chores than never should have outlasted Everquest 1.

I still think Boat Stuff that isn’t fighting sea serpents could be a good answer to portal woes. The issue isn’t just that portals don’t move metal but that the only way to move metal is a potentially long boat ride where preferably nothing happens. Who knows what is actually possible to execute in the game but giving Vikings nothing to do on the ocean but move from point to point is my biggest peeve with the game. We could fish/trawl, whale hunt, maybe there could be floating wrecks to find, literal ghost ships, I’m going to guess swimming will never ever be a thing but on the outside chance it might be we could dive for treasure. Wait gently caress I just made Black Flag.

I've been doing another playthrough with the Hearth and Home update. This time, I've gotten more invested in farming and breeding animals, even captured a 1-star wolf to tame. Obligatory base photos: first house and smithing pagoda  first house, from front  kitchen  workshop and storage  smithing pagoda  tiered farm, no plants currently  wolf pen  wolf kennel (with fire and deer pelts so they can be cozy)  boar pen  a WIP throne room and bedroom, still looking for enough tar to finish the roof  throne room (also WIP)  bedroom  overall  bonus: swamp base on top of crypt  I am extremely pleased with the new 1x1 walls and the upside down side roof pieces. The new wall pieces have allowed me to make aggressive use of curved corners in the base, and I'm solving the problem of "square roofs only" with some cute beam placement. I'm hoping to experiment more with the new dark wood pieces as I come across more tar, we'll see how the base continues to develop.

Has anyone had trouble taming boars this patch? I found a two-star one that spent all of its time huddled in the corner of my pen, and once it was tamed it immediately bolted out the door and went back to the runestone where I found it and eventually died when a gray dwarf attacked it. I found two others and managed to tame those, but they just won't breed. I keep tossing in raspberries and they keep eating them, but no offspring.

I don't think so, else they wouldn't have ever gotten tame. Only thing I can think of is that the boars that spawn around the runestone that tells you how to domesticate them behave differently in that regard.

Do you have a fire of any kind (including torches) near them? Boars are dumb and are terrified of fire, even if it's behind a wall

I will absolutely not dive for treasure with 150 iron in my boat, in fact I will beach the longship the moment the weather becomes slightly inclement if I have to account for ghost ships or whales. otoh I played that Raft survival game for a bit a while back and that was kind of cute, I don't expect Valheim to let me construct a floating viking fortress but a bunch of ship upgrades to passively soak up resources while traveling and maybe the odd floating, harpoonable treasure chest might make it more enticing.

My biggest wish for boats is a cabin and storage so you can live on a boat to a greater extent. I’m playing our new world as a sorta boat nomad, mostly settling for short periods in the ruined buildings I find along the coast, most spaced a day’s sail from each other. No portals or anything so I gotta plan my trips and manage my cargo. It’s incredibly relaxing. Not a lotta real threats to kill me, just sailing down the coast and fixing up little huts to sleep for the night. Might settle somewhere eventually but I can’t resist the itch to explore.

No portals or anything so I gotta plan my trips and manage my cargo. I imagine what you mean by a cabin is a bed spot for respawning, as well as the rp reasons. With how much mobs want to destroy boats I don't know if I see that working. I regularly have them ignore me just to try to kill my boat if they're within eye-shot of it. imo mobs should never attack your boats unless you're in it. They obviously have something to tell if you're in/on it other than just being at the rudder because you can unfurl the sails and be traveling while walking on the deck, but as soon as you go overboard the boat instantly stops.

I love this game, I love the H&H update, I've spent so much time just noodling around with everything. My biggest gripe of the game is that if you have a dedicated server and some people are progressing through the bosses faster everyone gets hit with the higher level invasions and gets wrecked. Has anyone found a good work around for this?

Once you have the materials to burn, making like 8 karves on the fringes of a shore base is probably a good way to turn every siege into a shooting gallery as all the mobs ignore you and you stand on a tower whistling and shooting them down while they attack the boats.

I don't know that there's a solution to your problem, but it makes you wish that invasions only spawned in appropriate areas rather than everywhere (especially the Troll and Fuling ones) Maybe the invasions could be specific to whatever equipment was nearby, like say having the Trolls only spawn next to the anything (e: I mean smithing whoops haha) bench, etc HOMOEROTIC JESUS fucked around with this message at 05:56 on Sep 25, 2021 |

There are ghost ships? I enjoyed Raft as well. Then I got to the part of the game where you have to fight enemies that actually fight back besides a predictable shark. Kind of rage quit after dying because it just seemed prohibitive to rebuild everything I lost. However, I do like the idea of scooping up goodies out of the ocean. Wish there was more reasons to travel around by ship.

This Epic Loot mod kicks a lot of rear end, but it did end up making me OP when I would kill like 4+ star Oozers in swamps and they'd drop legendary silver items without any risk whatsoever because poison-resist meads just shut them down completely. Thankfully there's config options to prevent this.

There’s a bounty mod (nexus only I think, not thunderstore) that I tried yesterday and it’s pretty cool. Basically turns the trader into a gambler + bounty board. I burned my 3k coins on gambling and now I’m running around the world doing procgen bounties. I’m still barely into Iron. I really should progress a bit. edit: speaking of which, I will most likely do Bonemass at some point today. I almost always use a Bow so I understand I'm basically hosed. Will the Staghammer do the trick or should I go about getting a fancy Iron Mace? Obviously also going to use the best food and mead and so on, just not sure about the combat aspect.
