Hemish posted:I dropped a Karve yesterday and sailed a few minutes to reach 2 copper nodes close to the shore. I logged off for the night as mining it will be in my next session but before leaving I wanted to make some kind of dock.... How do you even build in the water? I could somewhat snap poles to the underside of the planks but when the pole is not long enough, I couldn't snap a second one to reach the floor and be a support. I spent 10 minutes not managing anything. I can't help you with the dock construction issue any better than the other folks here, but I can offer this tidbit - boats only need a workbench to build and you get all your materials back when it's destroyed unless the nails sink. Solution - find somewhere with not too steep shoreline and loving ram your boat way up the beach. If you like, you can build a workbench and chest (wrap em in a small stakewall too, heck, and make a covered fire to get rested easily even in rain and freak out greydwarves) and then use your axe to, ahem, dismantle the boat and stick the mats, nails and all, in your chest. But even just leaving the boat beached at the waterline will do it if it's not too steep. If something actually destroys the boat, your nails will sit on the beach. In other news, I'm very excited for mistlands! The slow schedule has not been my favorite thing, but it's not really detracting from my excitement re the next big content drop.

Remember, trolls are not only great lumberjacks but also great miners when it comes to copper. As for building underwater, you'd probably want a mod to help with that too because it's frustrating without a mod for it. Ra Ra Rasputin fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Nov 18, 2022 |

The jagged surfaces from troll mining mean either the troll or myself always get stuck on something. If I get stuck, the troll kills me. If the troll gets stuck I get closer to help the troll move, then he kills me.

In that case what I recommend is using a hoe to raise an earthen pier into the water. It won't look as nice, but especially while copper mining you'll have no shortage of stone to do it with.

There used to be something you could do with silver where you broke the top couple points and the whole thing would explode and pop up above ground. Does that still work?

There's always some tiny connection remaining despite being visually broken. Spires in the plains though, I'll break those just for fun sometimes.

Silver no longer floats in the air screaming 'too hard' at you when you disconnect it from the ground, which is sad. It doesn't explode spontaneously either, you have to break a chunk and the rest goes, but it's again by far the most efficient way to mine it.

I broke my no mods rule. I couldn't handle planting carrots anymore. I installed CropUtil ( https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/NoPetRides/CropUtils/) to plant a bunch of them quickly. I spent some time mining copper and tin to upgrade some of my bronze equipment and I'm now ready to go to the Swamp. I found another landmass close to my starting island and built a shelter in a nearby Meadows with a portal. I'll probably venture there this afternoon. I forgot about the better foods, for some reason I thought they came after Swamp but no I just had to build my first cooking pot. The foods changed and it seems like a lot of work. What foods do you guys suggest to roll on Swamp for the first time? Carrot Soup doesn't seem as good as when I first played since they need normal mushrooms. Getting those red mushrooms suck rear end and they're pretty rare. I was thinking Deer Stew, Minced Meat Sauce and Carrot Soup but I feel like I need to subsititute the Carrot Soup to get something easier to make. Maybe just eat a normal yellow mushroom which can only be used in meads?

First time into the Swamp I think I typically just eat cooked deer/boar meat and either a yellow mushroom or queen's jam depending on what I have on hand. You will very quickly be able to start cooking sausages once you get in a bit which helps a lot.

And if you don’t mind a cluttered map red mushrooms (and raspberries, and blueberries, and thistles, etc) grow back in the same place you found them. Mark the spot and go back after whatever the reset timer is and you’ll find them again. If you have a stock of raspberries and blueberries you can make queens jam with a cauldron.

Trip report : - Removing the vegetation really help with red mushrooms - I always run out of stamina in the swamp - gently caress Abominations hanging out every 5 steps in the Swamp. Spent 15 minutes killing my first one but then I'm trying to avoid the countless others. I barely started exploring the swamp I found (2 crypts in eyesight of each other) and they're everywhere I turn. - Also gently caress 2 stars draught archers

Yeah the Abom spawn rate could really stand to go down a bit. They’re cool and scary and impressive but not when there’s one every ten feet.

I played like 50 hours back at launch and didn't get past Swamp. I played a bit last winter and didn't get really far as my friend never played again after the first initial session so I was farming and gathering trying not to advance stuff so when he never played again, I lost interest quickly. I just restarted last week and I must have 20 hours again at least and I'm back in the early Swamp. So I think after Mistlands, there will be enough content for 23$Cnd and I would really like more QoL improvements and maybe a better version of the terrain generators to have real rivers that could be navigated to travel on bigger landmass than currently. Also other water that the ocean level like mentioned earlier in the thread. Waterfalls and sources of water going down an incline and rocks would be amazing. Then just call it version 1.0 so people will stop complaining (some arguments are valid, this IS an Early Access game. It comes with the expectations of bigger patches at a more rapid pace). Anything else would be just gravy or just sell it as DLC.

After mistlands there is still the entire north and south pole that is entirely devoid of life, with the south pole at least having a good source of surtr cores.

Depending on the quality of your internet connection we found that fewer people is often easier. Both because the game would lag itself to death with 8 people fighting a boss, and it'd have 8 times as much health or whatever, so if you brought the less skilled players along it made your life vastly harder. In your specific case though it's not too bad: level a section of ground, pop some mead for poison immunity, get good at parrying, and then wail on him with an iron mace. And bring armor if you want but I did it in troll hide last time

Ravenfood posted:Way less fun and way more work, imo. Get an iron mace and go hit the blob in the face. Yeah pretty much the entirety of the challenge in fighting bonemass is understanding how to prepare. I was scared of him for a while and waited until I had fully upgraded iron everything and then rolled right over him.

I primarily use a bow to kill stuff. I still killed Bonemass with melee. His hits are easy to dodge and the poison resist potion trivializes the dot, so it's fairly idiot proof. I don't have anything against cheesing him on a philosophical level, I just didn't want to spend that long in a single encounter if I could avoid it

There's a lot of different ways to fight him, and i think what people are saying is that you can make it boring if you want to do the arrows method, but he's made to be fought with blunt weapons and face to face. I fought him solo for the first time last night, died once (thought the root armor would be enough poison protection it wasn't), using iron mace, banded shield, etc. Did give myself a little fighting room using the hoe since his shrine was in a particularly wet area of the swamps. Gotta use block and dodge, but completely do able. This game is one of the greats, i keep coming back to it trying to chase the dragon, but it's killing me that I'll probably have to wait years for the finished product. Not sure I'll still care once it's done, despite previously defending their slow releases. Trying to pace myself.
