    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Just cleared a small fagling camp and a full-sized one. The small one had nothing, but the full-sized one had 2 barley fields and 2 flax fields so I'm plantin' mah way to victory! About 90 dark metal off those two raids too. It was a good run. :)

    I got 3 barley from a chest, so at some point I need to put a minifarm on the edge of one of those small plains biomes.

    Ya, bows work well, just wait for it to start its attack run. Or aetgyrs also work, wait for it to start its run then circle swing it.

    The entire east arm of our starting continent is untouched, including at least 2 queens I left alone for newcomers. (newcomers- follow the coast south and east from the start point)

    Iron nails too to unlock stuff, once you get iron. Cynical- Whats your opinion on whacking Bonemass, in terms of when? I'm perfectly ready now, but I dont wanna pee in other peoples progression soup, as it were, since I dont know where everyone is in terms of bronze and iron tech.

    My original intended base is a short distance north of the starting spot, with (currently) 5 portals around it. The Mine 2 one leads to the edge of the local black forest. The Merchant one leads to more black forest not too far from both the merchant (obviously) and the Elder spawn point. In...

    Heh, that would be me, and its only 6, which was my total haul from that north peninsula which nobody else had been to. None from elsewhere. Afaik the whole east wing hasnt been explored or settled yet so try looking for queens there. In the meantime people are welcome to drop by and harvest 3...

    Cynical- The merchant has been found, along with an apparently iron-rich swamp, so popping the Elder is now valuable. Its your server, so I'm not gonna go whack him without your say-so, but keep it in mind.

    Ah cool, thanks for the perimeter map. There's a few small mountains too, but unless that northeast arm has a larger mountain I have grave reservations that any of them are large enough to have silver or obsidian or drakes. They might be able to manage a wolf or two. Well, thats what boats are...

    Lemme see- Roof (actual roof, not flooring above your head as someone tried to do), bed, fire, deerskin rug (and later wolf and lox hide rugs too, they stack), table, chair, banner. That gets you to comfort 9. Mine is comfort 9 anyway, and i think thats everything I have there. Later, add a...

    Well if you go harvest the leviathan and get yourself a harpoon you can farm the serpents... Edit- Logged off for a while, but a good start- full level 1 troll hide gear, level 3 weapons, 5 beehives and 10 surtling cores. Next its on to copper mining. If you come play and go north, watch out...

    Heh, nope, havent had any lag apart from the usual stutter when it saves the world, except when deer from that spawn explode. The boar didnt cause that pause for some reason. No worries, I'm happy enough hunting trolls and looking for a ^%#$ dungeon so I can get bones. Where's the nearest...

    Ok, it appears to be just a local bug- deer and pigs die normally elsewhere, but at the bugged area there were around 15 deer milling around and after killing around a dozen (eventually, took 3-5 arrows each) the place looked like THIS- And each of those is a 20 stack of meat or 50 deer hide...

    Popped on to your server, built my house a bit north from the start point. One thing- please god, whatever you did to the deer and pigs, turn it back or at least down a bit- I get 20 second pauses when the game tries to render 300+ items at once.

    Yup, I wear lvl 1 troll hide when I go sailing etc so I dont really care if I die that much. Exploring I carry a portal kit for getting stuff home or settiing up in interesting places if its a keeper, and if it is I use it to go home and set up a new portal and get another kit to take with me...

    Well Mount And Blade was only 2 people originally, and Banished was 1 iirc, so it can be done. And I'd like more, please. :)

    Go sailing around the various coastlines till you find swamp- be aware that swamps that are thin tend to not have any crypts in them, so look for ones that are a bit deeper. Similarly, thin mountians tend to have no obsidian or silver.

    The trees have to creep back from the edges but the branches have no trouble spawning in the middle of huge open spaces even when you can only barely see the nearest remaining trees with a telescope. :P

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    I think only the areas that are loaded continue to have stuff happen really. I go and hide in a cleared dungeon right beside my friends base when I go to bed and nothing seems amiss back at our main base when I go back when I wake up. There's some dwarf debris around his place and his pigs are...

    Or just start in the middle so you can plant your supports and then work towards the banks. This is what I did for my first bridge- I dug a canal across a very narrow point at the junction of two continents so I could sail from our badly placed base out to the western sea instead of having to...

    Nope, I barely had bronze and was in the narrow channel seperating our base from another arm of the same continent. I could see land on both sides, and suddenly- SNAAAAAAKEE!!!

    Try to lure 2 star or at least 1 star boars if you can. They breed 1 or 2 star piglets which give more meat

    This site will show you the map and as much other info as you select. Just punch in the map seed. Note, as it warns, it does take a minute or two to complete, so dont think its hung or something just because you dont get an instant response. http://valheim-map.world/
