You'd end up just walling off a small area to break line of sight and setting up a portal in it. The crops grow but nothing else happens if you're not nearby so remote farms are pretty easy to maintain. You just roll in, gather, replant, and high tail it out of there.

thespaceinvader posted:They do this in general because the best way to do any non swamp biome (and arguably the swamp as well) is to make an outpost there and smelt and farm etc in situ rather than carting huge amounts of stuff around the map. I still think an outpost near but not in the mountains is better, mostly because hauling everything you need to make a full base there in on your early runs is a pain, and it's far easier to explore the mountains when you have either 20 fenris hairs,, 20 (30?) silver for the wolf chest, or a wolf trophy. All of them I think you're better off making expeditions from there with a portal on your outbound trip until you get situated, then if you really need more (or you just want to) you can build a mountain base. That said, if you get one of the big structures on an easy approach that it's easy enough to settle in, by all means. I've done both and they were both differently fun. E: swamps and plains you can just sail up and start building, which helps. E2: swamps might be better to sail up to for your second swamp base if the first didn't have enough crypts. I'd still probably walk in from a base built just outside the first time. Ravenfood fucked around with this message at 10:47 on Jan 6, 2023 |

My corpse is currently on an island that is literally just one giant swamp, in the middle of a Draugr camp.

my favorite thing about the game is to civilize the wilderness, carve roads into dangerous areas, build huts and sheds and bridges and forts. that's one thing i like about the swamp, it feels very rough and dangerous when you start out so it's fun to impose some order onto it by raising bits of land, laying stone roads and building treehouse complexes

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Classic case of "oh, they DID go that far..." Yup, and the air particles are not just there to be pretty, and the weather on the map, along with wind-driven clouds actually helps determine if it is a good idea to go sailing at any given time. I love when folks (mainly on reddit) whine about the wind always being in their faces when sailing, while they could have simply looked at the map before setting off.

Anyone know of a good mod for making chests/storage management easier/better? A friend was looking into it but the thing they ended up linking to me looks like a huge overhaul mod (Valheim+ or something?) and I think we just want something to make offloading stuff at our base a bit easier or something.

I think it's also different if you play solo vs in a group. When I play solo I can get all the materials I need out of a biome in one go and just do a single boat trip back to the central hub base, but if you've got half a dozen people operating at different times it's easier to bring the metal with you and set up a small base when you get there so people can come and go. Also the benefit to building a mountain base is that snow doesn't degrade wood like rain does so you can get a lot more creative with your roof setups.

Valheim+ isn't really a huge overhaul mod if you don't want it to be. It is basically a giant set of extra settings and options, one of which is chest and inventory size. It can do a lot more than that though, including iirc an auto-deposit option where it sorts items into chests if you already have that item in them.

As I understand it, there’s a server specific version of it that automatically configures any joining players to the server’s settings, as long as they have Valheim+ installed. I haven’t really messed with any of that though.

Don't feel compelled to repair water damage on every wooden surface, unless a troll comes by it probably won't get destroyed, just get used to the "outside" wood coloring.

V+ is nice because you say that you only want to do this one thing but when you decide you want to do thing 2 V+ probably already has it and you just need to enable it in the config. Having said that, if you absolutely don't want to install the Swiss army knife that V+ is, you an take a look at Quick Stack - Store - Sort - Trash - Restock

All of these build piece ideas plus stuff like half length angled beams and quarter sized roof pieces makes me hope that they release an advanced building update at some point. Right now it seems like they're trying to have enough build pieces to be useful but not so many it's overwhelming to new players. They could have a toggle for "advanced mode" that enables the much larger set of pieces.

quick fyi about spawning lots of materials for building type in 'spawn BlackMarble 1600 p' (or whatever thing/quantity) and itll auto fill your inventory as much as it can before the rest goes on the ground. saves a lot of time https://thumbs.gfycat.com/FemaleThriftyAlabamamapturtle-mobile.mp4 mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 22:18 on Jan 6, 2023 |

Is there a mod that colors in territory that's considered "base" territory? I have one that draws dotted lines but it's nigh impossible to figure out just from dotted lines where there might be potential monster spawn points in my base.

If there is it’ll be the second time my poo poo was rocked today. First was the trick to spawn stuff into your inventory by invoking P. Can’t believe that existed this whole time.

The 'p' trick is hella neat, but if you're spawning a shitload of building materials you might as well just use 'nocost'? Edit: unless you're transferring stuff to a server, of course.

If we're talking things I would like for building elements, some earthen elements would be nice. I like making rammed earth and palisade walls but it would be nice to have an earth lump I could snap to the back of the palisade to make it join with the terrain. No tensile strength and unable to support as much as proper stone, but it would be very good for early foundations.

Yeah, there's a set of pieces that emit a "base" property, which includes but is not limited to crafting benches. I have a mod that draws dotted lines but it's nigh impossible to find the holes with a bunch of overlapping dotted lines. I'm trying the ESP mod now but I don't see any highlighted zones; I turned on both spawn points and spawn zones in the config but nothing's happened. Might be because it needs to be installed on the "admin client", which I assume is the server? But that doesn't make sense; if I can have a client-side mod that represents what I want as dotted lines, surely this doesn't need to be on the server either?

So a question. Me and some friends want to build an eye of sauron type tower for a final project as we conquer the mistlands. The only way I can think of to do it the way we want is to use the DigDeeper mod that lets you raise earth as high as you want. Problem is, if I raise an earth tower and someone who doesn't have the mod comes close, the server won't recognize the earth tower as valid and deletes it. The server is being run by a friend. How can we make it a requirement to have the DigDeeper mod for everyone? Or run it on the server to make it irrelevant for a client not to have it.

Sorry, I should have noted that we want to build it in the Meadows or the Black Forest because we have a few friends who are slower and they are still in iron and silver gear. If we built it in the mistlands they would get spoiled and wrecked.
