if that was attached to how they do terrain everywhere else, it'd mean doing a constant number crunch like the landmass was a huge jello mold... i think. if so that'd be a hell of a computational thing

I'm hoping the new mechanic is something to do with verticality, cuz the screenshots we've seen have made the mistlands look really uneven and full of peaks and pits. Climbing rope? Glider made of moth wings? Sirtling-powered jetpack?

Is Valheim Plus the best option for increasing inventory slots that wont break with every minor patch? Can I still join vanilla servers while using valheim plus? Does anyone know if this mod still works? After having the 7x sailing map reveal radius I can't go back to default it's unbearable.

I can get behind that though it requires that you have the building bug too. You could dot an entire map with great looking towns in great looking vistas.

Got a barle farm going before I got siver ore #1. Lucked into a chest and set up a quick wall around a plot in the plains. Hopefully I do the same with some linen.

That's a game changer. I still haven't tamed any wolves yet. Keeping my boars alive is hard enough on its own.

It is, to the point that it's contributed to some friction in the group unfortunately. Fingers crossed we'll resolve it. Boars take care of themselves as long as you double fence them. Getting them enclosed in the first place is the trick!

I'm tempted to turn this on because I'm about to start exploring the mountains and it seems like a good idea to not prevent all the caves from spawning. Those of you who have been using the test versions up till now, is stability generally a pressing issue or is it usually not a huge problem?

I built my second place right next to the first since moving materials is a pain. I'm thinking I'm going to level and rebuild on the same spot too. Might re-check some areas but I don't think there's anywhere on my island that really stands out as superior. I have a bunch of deer and boar spawns and it's safe. Forest is fuckin troll infested and they spawn right at the border with meadows.

That's why you build in the plains, the Fulings take care of any wondering trolls.

I've built in each biome and my favorite is building in a meadows/forest adjacent to plains. I can extend a wall/moat/earth mound into the plains for barley/flax planting but still have easy access to handy lower level stuff like thistle, red berries, etc.

Though I would only try that once you can handle the occasional skeeter. Building on that border and feeling safe behind some walls and moats has worked poorly for me in the past. Stupid tall walls of earth around you can prevent mosquitos from even being interested in the first place and plains crops can pass through portals so I tend to just make a big, ugly box of dirt with fields of crops and a portal inside then bring it all back home where the processing stations are.

While I'm Posting instead of Chopping, how many clicks of raising the ground do you need to make a safe wall/building platform? I think I'm making mine excessively high.

Lox can climb a bit more than you'd expect, luring one to your wall would be a good test. Fulings get stopped by lower walls in my experience.

I decided to try taming wovles since I've never done it before. Lassoed a pair from the mountains, led them a short distance to a pen I had built for them. It took like 45 minutes to tame them because they kept detecting me and almost breaking through the stakewalls I had set up, but it worked. So I went off to get some more meat and breed them. I came back to find a troll had spawned in the exact same spot, right next to the pen, for the second night in a row. I run over to kill it and it immediately starts attacking my wolves (or more accurately, clipping though the walls to damage them). It loving ignored me as I stabbed it in the back so it could kill the wolves that hadn't even been tame for 5 minutes So I spam workbenches around the perimeter to deter enemy spawns. This actually made things worse, as now I would find roaming packs of greydwarves right in the middle of the base when I never did before. What's more, I come to realize that my wolves won't settle down no matter how long I wait. Eventually I figured out that they were going nuts trying to destroy the workbenches. That they had no line of sight to. That were there to keep them from getting loving smashed by trolls. I'm not sure it's even worth trying again honestly. Say what you want about the slow update cycle or whatever, but it's becoming really clear that the devs got incredibly lucky with the release and are either completely clueless about or hysterically afraid of making the game more fun.

I’ve found that building anywhere but the meadows and on top of a plains spire can be tough. There’s just too much coming at you all the time. I’ve built small outposts in the Black Forest and mountains for chopping and mining before but never a true home. I think the mountains are actually easier than the forest because the spawn rate is lower but all the cliffs, sharp edges, and giant rocks add their own annoyances. Plus the meadows just nails a picturesque and homey feeling. Even when it’s raining and stormy it feels right to just go inside, cook on your fire for a while, and go back outside later. Once you’re established in the plains it can replicate some of that but then a horde happens and now you’re running from 2 berserkers and 6 fulings  (hence building on a spire).Jabarto posted:I'm not sure it's even worth trying again honestly.

Taming animals is just weird and bad right now. I’ve only ever done it for lox because they mostly just stand around unless you get really really close and by that point you can build stone walls to keep them in and everything else out.

Greydwarves detect workbenches from like 15 miles, it's ridiculous. When you pick your spot in the Meadows make sure it's a long loving way from any Black Forest.

Use workbenches to establish good spacing for spawn suppression, then replace them with torches that are part way up a tree or on a stone column. They count as 'player base structures' even when unlit. Set up like this they're very robust and can create a huge pocket of no enemy spawns in most biomes. It's easier if you're on a peninsula or otherwise surrounded by water.
