Well, damn. At least I can have fun with the new world modifiers, gonna make the best structures that I possibly can. Just need to figure out how to make ground flat first on console lol.
Valheim Early Access [OT] Nord Man's Sky
- Thread starter CountAntonio
- Start date
- OT
it's functionally identical - there are two limits to terraforming - a 'soft cap' for which the hoe's leveling function works to, and a significantly larger 'hard cap' for which is the maximum total height you can raise/lower terrain vs its original condition. the hard cap is uniform across the board. the general idea is to hoe-raise and mining pick stuff to 'generally level' an area (which resets the midpoint for the softcap) then hoe's level function to get it perfectly flat
So I should try and aim for the soft cap?
Both, mostly coop
tl;dr really is use the other two tools to get a ballpark then the leveling function to take it the rest of the way - the overly long explanation is if you hit a limit and are wondering why
unless you're trying to e.g. make an island in deep water or level a mountain chances are you never see the hard cap

In the middle of the Palworld and Enshrouded craze my group of friends decided that now would be a perfect time to get into Valheim instead lol. We are hooked.
We would like to get a dedicated server going can anyone recommend a nice server hosting service for this game? Something that is reliable, simple to setup and if possible not too expensive.
It annoys that survival games are not all copying the Grounded thing where you and your friends share a single synced save in the cloud that anyone can use even when some of the others are offline and it advances things for everyone, and you just join the session if anyone else is already using the save.

we used to pile into a discord and post saves for satisfactory and valheim (lol cheapos) with a searchable keyword.
when you want to play you search that keyword to see if the last activity was a checkout (means someone is currently playing) or checkin (no one's playing) - then you either ping the person who has the save to host so you can play together, or checkout the save yourself
was really rudimentary and took discipline but it worked well enough
edit: to answer the prior question i used to use GTXGaming for Valheim and it was a decent enough experience that didn't break the bank, but i really don't have any point of reference because it p much was the first and last time i ever rented a box instead of setting up one on my own
browser-based FTP to access files for grabbing and tweaking saves/configs/mods/etc
edit2: since the thread is bumped, have some pictures of my recent valheim build lol (creative mode; i've paid my dues enough with various survival runs and CBA mining black marble in the current shitshow that's mistlands)
and a video walkthrough

because i'm an absolute clown i also recorded rebuilding the entire thing from scratch in two sittings (across 6 hours) since a few folks were asking for a tutorial. linked in desc of above vid

When I looked into it, a hosted server seemed expensive. Luckily one of the friends in our group just runs a server PC that our world is hosted on.
Hey guys, mods please let me know if this is not allowed.
I've played all content available in Valheim when it released in 2021, before Mistlands.
I've been running a dedicated server with a few randoms for a short while and we've just killed The Elder so we haven't really done much yet progression wise.
The server is running 24/7 on an Asus MINI-PC PN53 with Gbit connection.
If anyone feels like me, to start fresh, we are looking for more players.
We allow client side mods like plant everything, inventory and equipment etc.
Server credentials: Server: rostad.tplinkdns.com:2456
Pwd: dm me
We have a small discord running to show off our build and stuff too you can join here: https://discord.gg/Z7VHpsgy
Some dude has been breeding wolves like crazy so feel free to grab a few if you join! :)

Wife and I were desperately waiting for this (well, just doing yet another playthrough)!
for some reason the mobs and armor are giving me huge WoW vibes
it's like if icecrown citadel went the other way for temperature
edit: oh shit lol
edit2: spoilered since this is all beta content and not actually released released - the new build pieces

I'm going to wait for the full release, but with the public beta out I can't imagine it being too much longer. I'm ready to put another 100+ hours into the game once its out.
actually on the topic of full release (i know i said this for mistlands and had a pie-in-face moment) i might sit *this* one out if the next update is 1.0
i don't think they're gonna actually talk about that till Ashlands has been out for a while though, so decisions, decisions
Valheim's penultimate biome update Ashlands, out now!
https://youtu.be/QZ3kJlaMUvU?si=xQLQh4LrArSiUncB https://valheim.com/news/patch-0-218-15-ashlands Let's go! To new players who haven't heard of Valheim or haven't checked it out, now's a great time to join in!

Wife and I finally played through alle biomes (again) and set foot on Ashlands (after a first disastrous landing attempt, lol)
Really excited
Really excited
So we finished Ashlands a couple of days ago.
Overall we like it. As usual, there is some adjustment period because of the increased intensity (or difficulty) of a new biome. And there is definitely a step up here, even compared to Mistlands.
I think the siege part is a cool addition, catapulting fortresses is actually really fun (lost my shield and pickaxe by accidently catapulting them which is hilarious but also annoying).
That's another thing Valheim does really well, always adding some new mechanic or wrinkle in different biomes. The approach to the Ashlands through storm and rocks is also great, once you figure out that you can repair the boat by making emergency stops at the rocks (you can actually build on these). The enemy spawn rate is definitely high but it is getting to the end so we kinda accepted that. It's not the meadows anymore after all.
The boss is pretty tough and as usual, melee chars get kinda boned with all the AOE around the boss. Hit boxes are bad as ever and you can get stuck under the monster's head which is basically a death sentence. But it is an epic fight so there is that.
Edit: Oh yeah, the new weapons are kinda weak which is a little disappointing.
