the game dosnt like str8 lines and flat ground lol also the build area is small like that cuz i guess the devs didnt intend u to build a city or some like that only a shed and some walls. but then for..

I'm on my 3rd playthrough now (first was co-op where my mate let me build everything, 2nd was Singleplayer and now again co-op, where again I am the builder).I think by the time and with every new bas..

Both sides need to match.You can change one and step through it fast to rename them. Just change the name back and let it reconnect then change it and step through it right away and rename the other s..

Only two portals can be connected and they both have to have the same tag. Therefore:- If you have one portal in your base called X and you make a portal somewhere else and call it X they'll be connec..

Yeah, I had one super close to the south west section of my starting continent. By the time I actually got around to farming it, I already had a longboat available, but I was on foot in the area at th..

Youtube has some amazing building tutorials. I recommend just watching 3-4 of them and immediately putting what you learn to use so you don't forget it all.

I don't have a moat around my new base but rely on kiting attacks away. There was a ground shake event when I was working on the fences. I began running around looking for the trolls. And looking. No ..

I discovered the hard way that the protection zone provided by a workbench is a sphere (like the Trader's shield). However, the white lines showing the edge of the zone are incorrect at elevations abo..

There are certain things that can prevent mobs from spawning within your base. Wards are a good one to use, and they can work for decorative purposes too, so you don't have to slap down workbenches al..

First thing you need to ask yourself is what are you building for?Do you want to build a castle that you will only need to use a tiny corner of for actual game activities?Do you just want to build som..

Oh, him.

Odin be watching youhttps://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Odin

I usually build a stone wall around my base wich ends at the shore/waterline into wood wall that goes as far into the water as posible. Both ends of the wall should be far enough away from my dock in ..

I place sharp stakes in a half circle on both sides of the entrance just below the waterline. They definitely work as I see the leftovers from Greydwarves & Necks on the seabed and have to repair ..

I had the same problem and my only solution was to break down the boat and keep the mats in the boat house. this has the added benefit of making sure you don't loose the nails if the ship breaks down ..

I left mine there for the view. I could even swim to it and look at my base from offshore.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2720279978https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filede..

You're seeing Odin.

For Raft and Karve sized boat houses, you can use the large double doors but of course this leaves a gap large enough for something to swim in. Solution is to build a single 4' core wood pole midway i..

Usually extending far enough out into the water seems to help. And fire

Maybe It's your dwelling design. I have two workbenches, one by the sea and another inside. The residence is a massive 3 story stone keep with a ditch lined with spikes circling it. Nothing ever spawn..

Yes, 2 troll raid.

I'm not really aesthetics-centered. I'll plant trees around them or something.

"...was killed instantly"...lol. I can visualize the ragdoll after being crapped on by a troll because I've been crapped on by a couple of trolls after I ran out to lure them away from my bu..

I disagree, Trolls are workshy freeloaders. IIRC bonfires and campfires also do the trick.

Somewhere, you missed a spot with your workbenches. That's why they spawned inside your base. Had that happen a couple of times. Usually it was Gray dwarfs spawning in, but once it was 3 Fulings and t..

You'll have more use of them in the mid-late game, as it's far easier to lure packs of them to farm Wood/Resin instead of chopping tree's. All that wood is necessary for the absurd amounts of Coal you..

I had a sorta-docile Greyling inside the log outline of my house I was building. When I removed one of the logs, the Greyling wandered outside and started to get hostile. It really is a weird behaviou..

I've had some success using campfires and holding a torch while cutting, but you cant ever fully stop them spawning. so far as iv'e seen anyway

There can be astonishing numbers of spawners in nearby forest. If you cleared those out (I prefer to keep them so I can stock up on drops) it will help a ton, but nothing ever really reduces them to t..

They are the most relentless mob in the game. They never drop aggro and they'll hound you from very far away. I settled in some meadows and they come down from a forest everyday in pairs on in full pa..

Well, they drop wood actually, so they shouldn't depress you.
