That's pretty awesome. My stuff looks like something a four year old would build out of Lincoln Logs.

I guess you can see my progression tho.
#1 - First base took two tries. The original was a mess that I think I posted a few days ago
#2 - Solid attachment to #1. I've been in this one the longest.
#3 - Took about three teardowns to finally get it right.
I actually tore down 1 and 2 this morning.

Valheim - Three Million Vikings! - Steam News
Greetings! This February has been truly wild! Less than three weeks into Early Access, we’ve already hit another milestone. Valheim has now been purchased by over three million brave Vikings looking to survive the 10th world of the Yggdrasil - or die trying - probably crushed by a falling tree...

These guys really did hit the jackpot, with timing, price point, and theme. I still think this game gong to fade away rather quickly. Hopefully they made their game easily modifiable, this is what keeps games like 7d2d, Terraria, and many other games going strong.BTW....3 milly

I get that and I was skeptical as well. However, they have just enough of every aspect of a Survival / Building / RPG style game to make it interesting and they seem to do it better in their own right. I think the Viking skin breaks it away from the same Zombie, post-apocalyptic theme that all other survival game touts. Plus, most survival games have the typical knife and gun combat that adds to the fatigue due to other popular games such as Fortnite, etc. It's got enough good, enough of its own, and enough familiarity to just work. Plus, you get a little of that open world, adventure with an old-school flavor added to it. It's just refreshing, nothing new or groundbreaking but refreshing.

Oh, I've played it and definitely find it enjoyable. It's a very good game, especially for the price. It just didn't take me long to get "bored" of the mechanics, because I've played this same game 20+ times. It just never really offered a "hook" for me. That's why I was wondering what everybody thought it was that made the game blow up so quickly, because I just didn't get it.
It'll definitely be good for the genre, long-term, without a doubt. I'm excited to see what type of off-shoots we get out of its popularity.

My friends and I have played basically every night for the past week and I assume we will finish up the plains tonight or tomorrow.
I know I will come back when Hearth and Home comes out, since I love base building. But we all definitely said we would come back for each Biome release.
Also discovered last night that trees act as foundation, so I think I am gonna try and build a treefort since Fir trees grow super tall.
This game has been worth every penny of the $20, if anyone reading this is still somehow on the fence.

I think this game might be a poster-child for how important pricing is in gaming. Perhaps just as much as gameplay even. How popular would this game be if it were priced at $40+?

My play group is 6, and I can easily say 2 of us would have bought it (myself and another guy love games like this), 3 of us would not have (they generally do not like base builders, but the combat/rpg elements/lack of anything else to play as a group got them in at $20) and one more in between that would lean towards buying at $40, but maybe not until the first content patch.
My tiny lil home and map exploration so far after 20 hours. Got really lucky with my trader I think. Saw him as I ran to the Elder which I just killed.

Everyones stuff looks great so far! I'm almost done with my docks after I finished my small longhouse. I will begin work on my harbor and lighthouse next.
