Yeah if you must explore for a goal, then it might be a bit harder but I definitely enjoyed looking exploring for locations. Certainly will last several tens of hours at least.

They do often have a chest with some goodies in them, but the loot isn't exactly exciting in itself. But, simply put, every now and then I still come across a place that just... looks cool. Like okay, I came across this thing, and it's technically Just Another Ruined Hut #159... But, by sheer serendipity of the map generation, it's sitting on this super picturesque outcropping, at the edge of a clearing with a beautiful view to the sea, under a majestic oak tree. And I just have to stop to quickly fix up the place and mark it on the map as a safehouse, no matter how unlikely it is that I'll actually come around to visit it again. So yeah, it's true that patches of any given biome are basically just more of the same, but even still Valheim somehow manages to have this "sense of place" about it that I don't think I've experienced in any other randomly generated game world before. I have almost 600 hours in this game by now, and I still sometimes do things like roam the wilderness purely for the purpose of clearing off all fog-of-war from a nearby island to make my map prettier. Though maybe that says more about me than about the game, idk. Nordick fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Feb 7, 2022 |

Yeah the sightseeing is what keeps me playing. And the feeling of coming back from a long trip, cresting the hill and seeing your home is so nice.

My favorite is the emergent stories you can tell yourself. I once found a nice abandoned village in a Meadows area. Turns out it was abandoned because of a draughr infestation, with almost every home having a corpse pile spawning zombie after zombie. So I sailed on top safer havens. On my return trip the village was destroyed and there were nothing but troll and draughr corpses left behind.

This is a complaint i have not just for valheim, (skyrim in looking at you), and so many other games but why do enemy npcs have no ability to jump? Most enemies in valheim can be defeated by a hole in the ground.

At least for me, the "someone goes out and explores/hunts/etc, brings stuff back to the other person who's building" works way WAY better in Valheim than Satisfactory. Resources like basic lumber, stone, etc never really go out of style and someone doing a lot of building can go through a LOT very fast. There's also no way (outside of modding) to fully automate the process so it feels more useful to just romp around rather than doing that, getting back to base, and going "....oh." since nothing you're hauling back will be especially useful

Planting like 200 trees on a hillside near your base, getting the woodcutting buff, and then playing dominos and filling up multiple carts with wood owns

Finding multiple standing stones in the plains is really fun for megaprojects. Once I started playing with console commands, the only real building limit was the strain capacity of my building materials. It's been really fun seeing what you can theoretically make with the highest grade of materials and favorable conditions. All I need to do now is make my 10 story tower fortress look like more than just an ugly cinderblock tenement.

I framed with iron wood and glassed (crystal window) the entire front of my 10 story 16x12 Viking Office tower. Was gonna do the other three walls but petered out cause gently caress farming that much crystal.

I stand by that this game would be nowhere near as fun without the necessity of a chimney to let smoke out of your house.

I finally unlocked masonry and decided to bulldoze my old place and start working on my fancy forever home. Basically wearing nothing but my belt and putting everything else in chests off to the side. Of course this is when the game decides to just send 35 mobs basically in a procession to gently caress with me all night. Bastards. They killed my carrots. Sweaty rear end Viking smacking them on the back of the head with a bronze battle ax and they're attacking the root vegetables. Best thing about stone ruins is you can excavate the foundation and get buccu stone. Eifert Posting fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Feb 8, 2022 |

Yes, I mark stone tower locations in the black forest then come back with a cart and some iron to craft a stonecutter, then delete all the lower blocks. Usually only takes 3 towers to fill a cart.

I just keep the ingredients for a portal with me. That way the only thing I really have to carry back are the actual iron ingots. I think I should be able to have all of the stone work I'm planning on done by the end of the night today.

The friend I play with is on vacation for a week so I'm thinking of ways to gently caress with him when he returns. This game needs more ways to grief, but so far I've come up with these ideas. He has no idea what wards are for, so they will play key role in this. First I'm gonna lock him out of our base for a little while, to get him riled up. I'll dig out a cave under the elder area and put an iron cage in it. I'm gonna stick a portal in there, name it something that matches one of our regularly used portals, and put a ward nearby. Once he ports through, I'll unlink the portal. Also going to do the same, but with a replica of his little outpost that he has a portal to, but in the plains. He hasn't been to that biome yet. Also thought about making a portal exit surrounded by fires, in a cage. Might try setting up a flood-able underground area, again with portal/cage/wards. Maybe even rig up a bunch of logs I can let loose to crush him. Bonus points if I can trick him into setting his spawn location to a bed I place in one of the death cages. I don't think he knows about the respawn command, but when he figures that out the bed would keep him trapped. Am I missing anything about these? Got any other ideas? isaboo fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Feb 9, 2022 |

I want to make an invisible maze with animal skin rugs, dice you can clip through them. One safe path and the rest of the floor is open air that drops you off the side of the mountain

The animal skin floor trap is pretty good. I remember somegoon made one where you drop into a small room that's largely taken up by a troll headed mannequin mid-stroke on his hog

The Devs did a fireside chat for the 1 year anniversary. Highlights include a visit from the Swedish royalty and that their team has gone from 3 people at release to 10 now. Also a new floor covering and new armor type lurking in the corners of the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15tM0hbyCs4 e. the mountains update ended being bigger than they anticipated e2. mistlands will have new mechanics that we haven't seen in game before NoNotTheMindProbe fucked around with this message at 03:38 on Feb 10, 2022 |

The belt he sells is such a huge QoL buff to miss out on. They really should have a vegvisir that points you to the merchant location.
