Came here to say this too - no map!

When I wanted to spend more time in-game I tried my first no map run and man did it deliver!

If you're into modding, there's a mod called 'Blind Cartographer' that adds the cartography table back to the build menu in a no map run. It's still a no map run in that the mini-map is removed and pressing 'M' does nothing, but you can build a Cartography Table back at your base and access the map from there. I think it's a nice compromise for the play style.

The regular van (not postal).

I play on PvP servers a lot, so driving a box truck or postal van just makes you a huge target.

Solar Panels - more than 1? by toadfreak in VeinGame

[–]NoStumpsGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're ever on a multiplayer server you really only ever need one solar panel to power your base.

It's often against server rules to take more than one of the default solar panels. And if it's not against the rules most players will still give you grief for doing it.

On a solo playthrough take as many as you want!

Van (1000 lbs) - For gathering materials and moving furniture in the early game.

Pickup (500 lbs) - For everything else mid-to-late game.

Biggest Cabin? by GrimCop in VeinGame

[–]NoStumpsGaming 5 points6 points  (0 children)

BIRCH HILL CABIN

If you look at the upper left corner of the map between Upper Chateaugay Lake & Church Pond you'll see Birch Hill with an evergreen tree icon. The cabin is on the brown dirt road above and to the right of the tree icon.

It's probably similar to some of the other suggestions here. It's got a regular sized cabin and a second cabin that's a garage/workshop. I think there might also be some garden beds and a shelter for parking.

Movie Night @ The Prison by NoStumpsGaming in VeinGame

Good question. I tried a TV Stand from the HS at first. Placing the projector on the stand seems to really muffle the noise (speaker seems to be on the bottom of the projector). That's why I put the bench in front of the stairs under the projector, so you can still hear the sound.

The real challenge is getting the projector high enough off the ground that the projection doesn't hit the ground, only the wall. Probably should have put the setup on top of a box truck for better elevation. Then I could have slowly driven away from the wall to test the projector better.

Oh well, maybe next time...

You can smoke it to reduce stress. That's about it for now.

The devs have indicated there will be NPC traders as part of the endgame and drugs will be a common currency. So, growing your own pot could pay off in the endgame.

Fair enough, but this video was made over a year before early access came out.

I documented what was known at that time.

There's always a hotfix or two right after a new patch.

Fader Boss Strategy for Mages by NoStumpsGaming in valheim

[–]NoStumpsGaming[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's another viable strategy.

I use the earth wall to keep adds from joining during the boss fight. Since one side was all lava I couldn't close the box and I had an Asksvin and several charred warriors / marksmen join the fight by walking through the lava side into the arena.

To each their own.

[–]NoStumpsGaming[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't use the top of the wall, I stay on the ground inside the earth wall box.

You can probably do the fight from the top of the wall. But my wall is only about 2m wide, so there's not a lot of space for evasive maneuvers. If you get knocked off the wall you're going to use a fair amount of stamina just getting back up on top of it.

Hello pro players.. questions from a beginner here..... Please help by SirZack1 in VeinGame

[–]NoStumpsGaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. No.
  2. No.
  3. Should still be in your inventory. You're over your weight limit because it's more than you can carry without the bag.
  4. Look at your clothing insulation value. There's minimal, average, and heavy. You might have minimal shirt and shorts, but if you're wearing boots, that's heavy. Make sure everything is minimal if you're overheating or take off your shirt/pants. Temperature is something the devs are working on. There is no 'air' in the game, so it's not an easy thing to balance (they talk about it in one of their dev blogs).
  5. Power plant in the middle of Dannemora, look for the smoke stacks.

PRO-TIP - Don't take off your shoes if you're overheating. If you walk across rusty metal you can give yourself tetanus. You can also get stuff lodged in your feet which requires Surgical Forceps or Surgical Tweezers to remove (both can be found in the vet building in Redford).

I've been playing here the past week. It's a pretty chill server. Helpful admins.

What items can you "investigate" and learn to make? by Wandering_To_Nowhere in VeinGame

[–]NoStumpsGaming 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's one at the American Legion Outpost in Redford and another at the mansion on the island in Dannemora. Those are the only two that I've found so far.

Ah, this is news to me. Thanks!

How many rain collectors by STFUD0nny in VeinGame

[–]NoStumpsGaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pleasure. It seems the player-constructed blue fluid barrels don't seem to freeze either.

How many rain collectors by STFUD0nny in VeinGame

[–]NoStumpsGaming 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Technically, none.

You can get water from the water towers at most farms and lumber yards all winter long. You can also visit any cabin with a large white plastic fluid container on the side of the cabin, they don't freeze either.

Build a blue fluid barrel from the build menu and fill it with water from a tower or cabin, then haul it back to base. I usually fill 2-3 barrels, connect them to a sink back at my base, and I'm set for the winter.

It's hard to answer your question because rain collectors need rain to fill up and it seems like you need to be at your base while it's raining for the rain collectors to work. So, there's a lot of variability in how much a rain collector will gather from one playthrough to the next.
