BobTheJanitor posted:The spear I just don't get. It was useful a useful ranged option for 5 minutes until I crafted a bow, but outside of that it's very meh. You attack with it like it's a knife instead of jabbing with it, so its one potential advantage, keeping your distance, is wasted. And yeah, you can throw it. Congrats, now you've pissed off a monster and you aren't holding a weapon. I haven't made one since bronze tier. That's really a shame because spears are pretty loving Viking. Odin used one, dammit. I just want a game where spears are good.

If I just got the game should I try to start a game with a "good" seed or just roll with what I have for now and see how it goes? Also how does the game handle asynchronous progression? I work mostly night shift and play during most people's workdays usually. If I set up a dedicated server (because I think it'd be cool to work on stuff with friends even if not totally contemporaneously with them) and one of them kills a boss or whatever is it dead for the server and I wouldn't be able to kill it later?

Is there an easy way to get mushrooms? I tamed some boars but now they're hungry and I don't have more to feed them. Also, I think I went overboard on making a house and its two stories, got a nice roof, and way too much time spent on making it look decent when I should probably just go kill the first boss.

I have to say, I love the little ruins you can find. I initially found a tiny ruined stone tower and used it to start a base to explore the black forest and then once there, found another, much larger one you can actually climb well that I'm thinking about moving to. The first one was fun because i was getting there at nightfall and so had a tense night guarding a fire and throwing up some barebones structures between greydwarf attacks. I really need to find more Surtling cores and get started in bronze.

Taffer posted:Everything that is time based progresses while it's unloaded, the reason taming doesn't progress is that you actually have to be physically near the animals to "acclimatize" them. I just made a pen for some boars right next to the building I was constructing, they were tame before I finished. I think they can eventually go wild again too, either with hunger or not being present. I initially made a house right next to the standing stones and had been using that as a base, including a hogfarm, then ran off into the woods and built myself a walled in logging/mining base. After exploring the woods for awhile I came back and the hogs were wild again. Is there any reason not to use the stones as my nexus for a portal network? And is there any reason not to make a portal network anyway? E: so far I've made those two bases and I think I'll try to turn the stones into a hub/tavern/port thing now that I have some ability to terraform with pickaxes and hoes, but not really doing too much manufacturing there. If I'm not near a base, will it get attacked? And will I eventually be able to get defenses that stop trolls? And do I actually need to build walls everywhere anyway?

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:I hope in a future update they make it so comfort items radius is vastly increased, it's weird having to hunt for the most comfy spot in large buildings. Yeah, and it feels weird to throw a banner up inside a building because the sleeping rooms aren't close enough to the walls to get within the radius. Also benches overriding chairs sucks. on the plus side I can build sconces now and so can actually loving see things inside without a torch or weird standing ones. Also can stock heads on stakes. Bronze brings some really nice advances to comfort.

If I'm trying to place it in the water and its showing that it is going to spawn in the air, I assume that means I have nowhere near the draft depth for the boat and I need to get to digging/building a longer dock, right?

piano chimp posted:I generally roll with a spear, mace and a bow. The spear is very quick which is great for parrying and dodging single, tough enemies. You can also lob it at enemies for extra style points. The mace (especially Frostner) is great for crowd control and the bow is just great all round. I haven't found a use for the sword, axe or two-handed weapons which isn't done better or at least covered by these three weapon types.

Also making two of the "magical" weapons Clubs, plus having swords and atgeir only show up at bronze, plus mostly introducing skeletons around that point so you want to get a mace around then anyway, goes a long, long way to making clubs an incredibly good weapon type. Does anything resist blunt at all? E: maybe greydwarves should be resistant so your bronze tier gives you a reason to use a pierce/slash weapon the way skeletons encourage a blunt one?

Eschatos posted:Meanwhile here I am wondering if people really build new forges every time they go out mining. To me it's so much more convenient to have one centralized zone for it, assuming you're transporting stuff in a boat/cart. And if you're tearing it down after you move, it's not like it will cost you anything extra, and even if you don't tear it down, the materials for a forge are pretty minor.

bus hustler posted:Using the shelf-stacking technique i've gotten pretty good at dropping small useful bases that don't really require a lot of changes to the land Yeah building shelves has been pretty great for that. I think I've got a pretty decent looking but also practical setup of a fenced mining encampment consisting of a forge/workshop shed with smelter/kiln in the back, a sleeping/cooking hall, and portal building all spaced roughly evenly around a circle, entrances facing in, with the gate being the 4th in the circle. I'm still building variations on that based in environment (I've got my eye on a swamp tree fort) but it's a decent overall look of "inhabited living area carved into wilderness" that is nice.

Well...poo poo. I was sailing around my island and a giant mosquito showed up and one-shot me while I was sailing. Its going to be a long, long sail back to my karve. I didn't think the fucker could catch up to me the way that he did or I'd have just tried to shoot him. e: I am learning now I definitely should have run as close as I could and THEN built a raft to sail out to my stuff instead of trying to sail the whole way. gently caress this raft.

Bioshuffle posted:Does structural support affect how much damage the building takes over time? Will my house fall apart if i don't do maintenance repairs from time to time? I noticed the floors took damage when rained upon. No. Buildings take damage in the rain if they don't have roofs (except for some "outdoors" buildings like log walls and fences and stuff) and can degrade to a max of 50% health from that. They will never collapse from environmental damage.

Lakitu7 posted:I got mosquito one-shotted half an hour's sail from base and ultimately just used console cheats to recover the body because otherwise I'd probably have quit the game. Sure I should have been making little outposts and portals and had backup equipment and all that but eh, I have no regrets. I hope they make the drat mosquitos stay the hell in the plains someday because that was not fun at all. Yeah I'm considering it. Or they need to make sailing faster. It's weird that sailing is so slow given how much faster even paddling a canoe is compared to walking in real life. Paddling a raft being half of your walking speed is just...yeah. Boats were primary transport for a reason! Lesson learned about sailing too close to plains I guess but drat. E2: I hate the wind.

My mistake was definitely using the raft. gently caress the raft, I can't ever see a reason to use it unless you spawned in on a meadow-only island. Also if their roadmap is accurate I'm sure they'll address it in their sea update.

Bioshuffle posted:Is there an accepted build order for bronze age stuff? I was going to do an axe first, but it takes forever and a day to mine with the bone pick, so I'm wondering if I should upgrade the pickaxe first. Axe first. The antler pickaxe will last long enough for you to get as much ore as you can carry (which isn't much) before it breaks. The axe gets you access to fine wood which gets you the finewood bow (assuming you didn't get enough wood from chopping other trees into birch trees), which is both a significant upgrade over the crude bow and really important for killing trolls. It also gets you the karve boat (which is way better than the raft), a ton of decoration for comfort, and portals. I haven't upgraded to a bronze pickaxe yet because I'm finding it easier to build a workshop and shed near a copper deposit and repair the antler pickaxe on-site, then haul the ore out either on foot or by cart depending on terrain, and having to drop a forge as well as a workshop would be annoying.

Rotten Red Rod posted:Just build a portal, drop your ore in a chest next to it, and pop back to base to repair.  well, I'll be doing that from now on. I've got a decent supply of fine wood and Surtling cores now, but early on I was struggling to get either in decent quantities. Either way, you should still get a bronze axe before a bronze pickaxe, which was the original question.E: and thanks for the tip on waiting for a bonfire.

Anything else i can do? Where are trying to find a location for the second boss? The sigil at the standing stones only ever shows you the first boss. Do you mean that when you find a marker for The Elder in the dark forest that it still shows you a marker for Eikthyr?

C-SPAN Caller posted:There was a tiny guardpost outside where we placed down our base that was a pre-existing structure that I fixed. Unfortunately in trying to make our base more resistant to invasions, the troll went and targeted the tiny pre-existing tower since it could path easily to it since it was outside the moat You can't actually build near the runestones, since there's a magical field there that prevents it. That said, I'm planning on just keeping them in the rough center of the town-ish thing I'm hoping to lay out there. Boathouse/pier with berths for a few longships and karves, a teleportation circle built up as a temple-looking thing, a greathouse, and set of workshop buildings. Little farm. Just make it clear that it's very much the center of the place, since you can't decorate with it at all.

It almost feels more realistic to skip the troll and try to mine enough ore that I can make metal armor, but maybe that will change with other gear upgrades. A new bow, a stack of fire arrows, and practice kiting them. Failing that, you can parry them with a bronze buckler.
