Show All Valheim General Reply

If the ballista didn't require ammunition and essentially manual activation, I'd understand the frustration. It's far more important to make it effective against targets, even if it includes players. ..

@warrenchmobile Explained it best; a non sentient object you placed that can determine neither friend nor foe and merely does what is does: shoot stuff.And I have to call you on your counter argument ..

We can just say it's a game balance matter and leave it at that. We wouldn't want events to become automatically resolved simply by spamming enough ballistae. Or, if you do, you can use mods for that ..

Yeah, the only problem with your analogy is that tamed animals are sentient beings, ballistas are not.

They are good for taking out the blimps near your mistlands base if you make sure they can only shoot up. Getting a bit annoyed about how many biomes you have to keep a farm in now though. There are m..

I'd rather not have Valheim become tower defense game. It's silly but it works. Other features of ballista like the inaccuracy are bigger issues IMO, but they're already addressed in the PT branch.

Motion sensor logic I guess, if it moves, kill it

Everything wants you dead. Even the trees try to kill you.Except deer. They just want to be left alone.

Its a dev intended feature.

Hmm, doesn't seem like any combination of buttons drops items. Also the r1/r2 and l1/l2 inputs have switched for me since the patch, making attack L1. Since there's no config support, it looks like th..

You can select the item in inventory and press the action button (pretty sure it's the action button) on keyboard as well as just dragging it out with the mouse. I imagine the same on controller, sele..

Yes, I can confirm this works IF you are the server host.Shut down the server, load into the world in single player mode, use F5, enter devcommands, do what you need to do, log out, then boot up the d..

You can use devcommands to build a lodge in a single player game, save that game, and then reload it as a multiplayer game. That does work.

You can use admin commands on a server with a mod. Server devcommands on nexus. Each user needs the mod, needs to be made admin and needs the -console launch parameter.

How do you set up the cheat? -console done still F5 not working

Lol working on my castle for the past week. Debug is a blast.

welcome to the "creative" modeim sure you will spend some time and learn a lot out of itat some point your are done beeing in creative and take the things you found out over to survival mode..

I too just loved creative mode when I found it out. Before free building (devcommands+debugmode+b) I was spawning mats with commands, and before that I was server hopping with pockets full of mats. It..

That could be tricky. Maybe there's a mod to help but base game, the ward does lock doors and chests, to whoever is on the ward. So for everyone to have their own space, you would need to space them o..

Red jute found in frost caves can be used for decoration in build mode.

There are certain items that can stop spawns but if you have 3 or more of these items within a 40 meter radius of each other then this can possibly trigger a raid event. There's a video on YouTube tha..

it's a known fact that a "true" random feels unfair to the player. so i guess the wind is random in this game

just paddle.

you know how you have 3 up arrows you can swap between? stick on the 1st arrow (no sail), and you should start moving at a steady pace. Just keep an eye out for the wind so you can lower your sail and..
