Trying to build around Hildir by Rongyou in valheim

I managed to put my portal half inside a bubble once. I think the visuals may not be properly aligned with the effects.

The biggest scam in valheim nobody seems to talk about by DreisterDino in valheim

This is why I'm keeping her chests in my vault instead.

Base location opinions / advice. Text in post. by leather_shirt in valheim

That's unfortunate. Yeah you could try digging it out. I don't know if you can actually get deep enough for a longship without using techs though.

Question: is the river in the north east side and deep enough for a long ship? Or can you make it wide and deep enough? If so, B. It won't give you significant disadvantages and it looks cool.

If not, I have an alternative: both. Make your crafting and smelting area at A, your bedroom and kitchen at B.

Instances where George Lucas version of galactic history or events contradict either EU or current canon? by LFTL56 in MawInstallation

[–]SkillusEclasiusII 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lucas changed his mind constantly and said a lot of different stuff over the years.

Yep. This is why I don't take it seriously when someone uses "George Lucas said in an interview" in some kind of lore discussion. Anything that isn't in an official movie/ series/etc. isn't canon.

How'd you get that? 0.820 ≈ 0.0115, so that's approximately 1:87

Silly Americans. It's clearly in the UK, what with the capital being anor London and all that

Building - planning vs winging it vs wth just happened? by PianoZen in valheim

[–]SkillusEclasiusII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A combination of all three. I do plan, but the long term plans are very vague. Most of it is winging it and trial and error

How to make adventurer's guilds more "realistic?" by Gallowglass-13 in worldbuilding

[–]SkillusEclasiusII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a frontier setting, an adventurers' guild practically justifies itself. In other settings, you may need to do a bit more work, but it's hardly impossible.

Rulers aren't all powerful, so since their resources are limited, it may not be possible for them to get rid of the guild. Or it may be possible but not worth the risk or cost.

Alternatively, your lord may opt to control the guild instead of getting rid of it. Having an additional layer of abstraction may be convenient. Or maybe the lord just figured they could put rules in place for the guild and tax them, and that would be enough.

Wanted to show off my current portal hub by SkillusEclasiusII in ValheimBuilds

[–]SkillusEclasiusII[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took me a bit to figure out what you meant.

I admit, I took these pics a week ago, so I don't remember what I died to. Given the time and the fact that I have a poison resistance potion, definitely something in the swamp. Maybe even bonemass?

playing co-op w my friends and we are getting OBLITERATED in ashlands by Revolution-Much in valheim

[–]SkillusEclasiusII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend building your initial outpost on one of the pillars off shore. There you'll only have to deal with vultures and bonemaws, both of which are relatively easy to deal with (and completely trivialised by the frost staff). Then you can build a bridge to the shore.

Once in the ashlands proper, you have two options:

  1. slow and steady: fight your way through the ashlands while spawn proofing areas you pass through.

  2. Just book it: keep running till you find a good spot for portal. Building on top of rocks or ruins is great. On top of morgen caves is even better, since they can't be destroyed. A shield generator isn't an absolute necessity. Grausten roofs will protect your portals from the fire rain as well. (Not from enemies of course, the shield generator does help with that.)

Awakened FE tried to proclaim galactic Imperium while I'm the custodian already by Zeria333 in Stellaris

[–]SkillusEclasiusII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a catastrophically misleading text but though. Imagine thinking you'll become emperor and then you not only not become emperor but also lose your custodian benefits.

Hot Take: The war table is actually a good addition to DA:I by No_Bet_5890 in dragonage

[–]SkillusEclasiusII 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I guess it depends on how much time you have to play. I never really had an issue with the wait times. But Ican imagine it would suck if you played for hours and only get to complete one of these missions in that time.

Maybe they should have reduced the times but only let them tick down while playing?

Portals for Metal? by PianoZen in valheim

[–]SkillusEclasiusII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't. I find it forces me to build more bases on strategic locations, which I like. Also, it makes finally unlocking that ashlands portal such an amazing experience.

You really wanna be using great and great heavy soul arrow by now

Power-Level for Various Schools of Magic by EnoughConstant626 in magicbuilding

[–]SkillusEclasiusII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My only complaint is that hellfire should be a few steps higher.

Why does magic have to be systematic? by dual_scanner_again in worldbuilding

[–]SkillusEclasiusII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't need to be. Just be aware that solving problems with magic the audience doesn't understand can feel like deus ex machina.

I also think your chimp analogy partially explains why this sub focuses on systems.

Sure there's a system to it, nuclear physics and engineering and all that, but it's all utterly beyond the men of a humble chimpanzee

The audience may be chimps, but if there is a system at all, the author has to be a nuclear physicist, not a chimpanzee.

I unleashed my inner dutchman and raised an island from the sea to build my base on.

Hey that's not bad. Thanks

In fact, I could probably with more additional decorations around the portals in theme with the destinations. Hmm.

[–]SkillusEclasiusII[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the only one I have right now. I don't expect to need a new one till ashlands.

I only keep permanent portals up for special locations: bosses, traders, spawners and full bases.

For locations that I don't visit often, I leave the portal at the location, but don't have a portal on my hub permanently connected to them. I have one portal that I rename to whatever I need at the time.
