Where do you find a good deal on a rented server? I've always had a mind to cobble together my own server, but I can't really afford the hardware at the moment.

It uses Viking mythology as a theme — and pretty loosely at that. It's like a Saturday morning cartoon representation of Viking culture filtered through lovely metal music. There aren't really any historical elements present that you could hitch your Volkswagen to. You can also make your Viking black as night. Which of course isn't a perfect assurance that the devs aren't Nazis. But probably they're not, you know?

Definitely more fun if you cam all just pop on at any time and if no one else is around just explore or build up your little town.

This was my first house, before I moved to a community server. Kinda miss it. And this was my second. Ineffective use of space. It's now been converted to a common sleeping quarters and I'm in the process of furnishing it for comfort.   This is my current HQ, close to the main base. I call it the Den of the Hill Jarl. I need to decorate it some more.       Sorry for the screenshot diarrhea!

Disparate senses of aesthetics is stressful as hell. Until Viking HOAs are enforceable on a server level I'm building a secret base far away from my fellow players' reenactment of the Destruction of Isengard.

Man, I really messed up not turning the evil piled-up Draugr village I found into an entrails farm. On another note, I've seen some screenshots going around featuring an inventory that makes sense (separate equipment slots, etc) — which mod is this, and is it safe to use when playing on a dedicated server?

It would be so nice if the portals were all networked and you could just pick your destination on the map.

Warning: incoming screenshot diarrhea. I feel like I'm ready to leave my current base and colonize the other side of the world. It's been a good HQ. When I found a nice piece of headland I felt like I had to build some kind of mansion there. Nothing too opulent, 'cause I like small and cozy places.  The front of Steadfast Manor.   Behind the throne is a secret door to reach the top of the tower.  To the right you have the dining and storage areas, and a small mead basement.   To the left is the bedroom.  There's a backdoor leading to the outdoor workshop.   Eventually you'll reach the modest turnip fields and a small harbor.   The back of Steadfast.  A rich land, and fairly quiet. Lots of game and very few greydwarves. Except for the one single greyling that keeps spawning in my fields, welcoming me home to destroyed crops and beehives. Killing this fucker never took. So I dug him a pit.  It worked. He's been hanging out there for a while now. Threw him some sausages, but the ungrateful bastard won't eat them. I feel good leaving Steadfast now, knowing its only major nuisance has been taken care of. anatomi fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Mar 7, 2021 |

I want a mod that lets me train drakes to transport goods for me. Imaging having a drake drop off a bunch of iron at your main HQ and then going to roost in the nest made of greydwarf trophies.

Black Griffon posted:Speaking of mods, are there any I should pick up? I see Valheim Plus has a bunch of downloads, but it changes so much I'm not actually sure I can trust it. First Person View: Allows you to zoom all the way into a first person view. Great for dungeons and for admiring your lovely fort. Any Portal: Travel to and from any portal. Equipment and Quick Slots: Adds a separate section to the inventory for your equipment, and adds a few quick slots. No Lens Dirt: Removes the dirty lens effect. Immersive Hud: Lets you tailor when and how HUD elements should be displayed. Imo these mods add/change features that should've been part of the base game. I also use Valheim Plus, mainly so that I don't have to refill my torches and poo poo all the time.

Mods have to be installed on both server and client side. If they don't match you won't be able to connect. Maybe that'll change if mods ever become an official feature.

Padded armor is pretty good. Its defense rating is like three times that of root armor. But I suppose the latter is better if all you wanna do is plink arrows from afar.

Captain Oblivious posted:It’s more that all the threats of consequence in the Plains are piercing damage and Root armor is tankier against Pierce than Padded while also protecting against Poison. The weakness to fire also makes me think that the root armor's more suited to keeping your distance. But to be honest I haven't played around with very much — I'm gonna give it a shot and see how it fares.

Speaking of building, I'm almost finished with my current projects: an inn and a temple/stores. Not sure what to do next. Maybe a harbor? Or a small house somewhere, because right now I sleep in one of the inn guestrooms. From the shore:  To the left of the entrance is the smithy:  If you head upwards the grounds you see the inn and the temple:  Ample storage inside the temple. There's a basement level that contains a workshop.  The view from the temple balcony.  Aerial shot:  Inside the inn, the kitchen to the left:  To the right: eating area, food/mead storage (can't seem it because of the hearth fire) and guestrooms  EDIT: Also, if you want to make a chimney without using any roof pieces, this solution lets through smoke and protects against the rain. Or at least it's been working for me.

Loving all of this. One of the best parts about Valheim's building system is the restrictive stability. It breeds a lot of creativity.mastershakeman posted:youre all doing it wrong. vikings live in obelisks Reminds me of the tank in Raised by Wolves. I don't follow any Valheim channels, so this may be common knowledge but it blew my mind when I accidentally stumbled upon it – you can offset pieces by using a wood door. This allows you for instance to make trimming that juts out:    Or to center pieces, like doors and windows:    You can also use this method to make thin(ner) double-sided wood walls with air gaps:

We just got to Mistlands and I like it a lot, but you can't use the belt and a mistlight at the same time? Why not? Such a strange decision. And does the mist lessen the deeper into the lands you venture or something? It's a beautiful biome but you can't see poo poo.
