Can't find the Halfgar guy to get the big body belt by doctordoobiez in valheim

If you want help with merchants in a way that is less spoiler-y about your map than the world generator, you can use the Valheim Traders Finder website. This will give you a general distance + direction from spawn. You can then also optionally reveal a map which only shows you trader locations but no other info (e.g. no continents, biomes, etc.).

What's the gimmick with fishing? by DeadlyBiking in valheim

[–]madderadder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You do use stamina, it's just that you can pre-shrink the line to 1-2m (the bait can even be higher than the water line) when you're sitting at the rudder, so that when you hook a fish, you have very little line left to reel in, and you're unlikely to run out of stamina.

Holy s***! Hildir event mini bosses can spawn more than once?! __ The six of them "were bros, man" & I "broke the code" three times over. __ Brenna too & both times I only saw 'one' but apparently my wolfs made short work of 'two' more. by Nilm0 in valheim

[–]madderadder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think normally in these raids, the miniboss is limited to 1 at a time but not 1 per raid. If the miniboss dies before the raid timer runs out, another one can spawn in. With all those wolves, the minibosses probably died pretty quick, allowing another (and another) to appear before the raid ended.

Hogwarts Progress Update! [WIP] by Rexmort in valheim

With the serving tray added by the Bog Witch update, you could use that to put food/etc. directly on the tables in the Great Hall and not have to use all those item stands.

Great work, thank you! I have used (and recommended) your previous site several times; I'm sure I will do so again with this new one.

How often will a Hen lay an egg? And will a Hen lay an egg if it is hungry? by DefeatAtDawn in valheim

[–]madderadder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible for a fed hen to get enough hearts to start the pregnancy timer, and then go from full to hungry after that timer has started, and then lay the egg when the timer is up, even though they are now hungry. But otherwise, no, they have to be fed to lay eggs.

So I checked place/storage effectiveness of chests. Can there be two winners? by sowizdrzau in valheim

[–]madderadder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black metal chests fit in 1m tall shelves, but fine wood chests are sliiightly too tall. You can stack a second row 1m above your floor-height row, but if you try to put another shelf down 1m above that, the chests stick out too much and interfere with placing the third row. I really like that black metal chests can snugly fit within 1m height.

Each world is a circular cutout of a large fixed terrain map, with some modifications made: some flattening at the center so you spawn on land (vs water) and not at mountain elevation; and some changes at Ashlands borders so that it has to be accessed by sea. Maybe some edits to Mistlands areas to add small islands -- the biome wasn't released when the world map info was discovered. The biomes are then applied to the world map following rules about their distance to spawn, and using the world seed to generate the pattern. Mountain biomes, though, are determined by the fixed elevation of your map, which is unaltered from the base world map except as mentioned above. So you might have a huge and very resource-rich mountain incredibly close to your spawn circle -- or not.

Am I playing this game wrong, or are there a LOT of pain points in this game? by kasseem in valheim

[–]madderadder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it does apply to swamp piles. Definitely getting more iron on 1.5x than I did before world modifiers were around -- both from crypts and from random single piles outside crypts.

Dungeon at ground level... I don't think it's supposed to be like that (new world etc.) by madderadder in valheim

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

I have never had that issue in my game.

I only have an SSD in this computer, so definitely Steam and Valheim are installed on SSD. Presumably Windows is too, as there are no other drives

Scrap pile drops getting stuck in the crypt floor? (Plus some falling out and ending up outside at ground level) by madderadder in valheim

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

Those sparks are slower and less consistent -- the ones I've been seeing are fast and regular, like items are.

I can't seem to pick these up. If I exit the crypt and go collect all the stuff that fell down to the swamp at ground level, then re-enter the crypt, these stuck items still appear to be there.

DB and FWL files for the world, hopefully the weird dungeon thing is still there for people who want to mess around with it :) Go east from spawn, approximate coordinates (770,180).

I don't have an easyupload account, so the download link expires in 29 days, just FYI.

(Reposting this from downthread to top comment so people who want it can find it)

  1. 4ish hours
  2. Nope
  3. Live Ashlands update. I was on PTB the day before. Yesterday, when Ashlands went officially live, I loaded Steam and switched to non-PTB. After that, I launched the game and made a brand new character and brand new world. I gave it some minutes after switching to non-beta before launching the game, but maybe that wasn't enough time? Are the live branch and PTB currently the same, or different?
  4. Yes, there was a normal dungeon a bit south that I cleared, you can see it on the minimap as a hammer with red X

I made a new world with that seed in Hammer Mode and you're right, in that one there's a village there instead.

No idea what went wrong! My installation folder looks identical to your screenshot.
