Any way to disable random events?

Valheim is awesome game, but it's full of absurd, not fun and annoying ideas. One of them are these stupid raids, specially trolls... I'm the type of gamer which like to build complex houses full of small detailes. Troll raids are just annoying, because they always destroy, at least 20-30 minutes of my work. I can't even imagine how big my rage could be if I had that raid when afk and came back to see how my base is completelly destroyed now.

pls help

As with OP, I too would like (at least an option) of disabling that feature. On the worst, it can be downright destructive (has only been the case once or twice with a mate being AFK at base), in the least, just a constant annoyance. I build big and beautiful (as a goal, not nessesarily a result), and constantly having to run out and fix or administer rigeous punishment gets old real quick.

My current build is a bridge spanning a river mouth with the central pontoon being a fort with docks. It's still WIP and assaults have thusfar been mostly irrelevant, but I am keen on getting to the planned village of hovels and small farms on the bank of the river, and that might get.. annoying. And not a chance in hell that gets a moat.

The resetkeys command reverts them to meaningless newbie raids or there are mods to customise the probabilities.

You can't "disable" the events. You can only minimize them with various play tactics.

1. Moats(which you dont like) or High earthen walls for the creatures that are vertically challenged(which I'll go ahead and assume you dont like). This however will not address issues from events with flying creatures.

2. Find a small island far from other islands or large land formations. Completely pacify the terrain(ie benches or similar that prevents spawns. Then on that island there wont be any events that spawn due to the mechanics of how the radius for spawns work.

3. Use the multi map game play system. Each time you beat a boss, make a new map. This way, you ensure that each new map only will have the 1st event(eikthyr rallies the creatures) that will spawn. Since those are just necks and boars, its just fresh meat.

4. When events spawn, ghost or go to a trader(which acts as a ghosting.)

5. Use modded content that have means to make events a non issue.


If none of those methods appeal to you, then you're going to have to just roll with it or shelve the game until it matches your wants.

Unlikely for mods that just change behaviour without adding new objects, but always have a backups system when modding.

All mods run the risk of issues at some point, especially when Valheim devs put out a new update. This is normal for games with modded content use. You either have to wait until the maker of the mod updates to accommodate changes or you have to remove the mod.

If you are very risk aversion oriented, then your best option is the multiple maps method.

I don't want to gloat,
but my moat fits my boat,
and yes, it does float.


Skal, it's Friday folks! ;)

I never bothered with moats. I also like to build nice houses, farms, taverns and I also think that moats are butt ugly. :D

Trolls don't bother me in the least. When the alarm comes, I run out, kite them away from the buildings, wait till the two minutes are over, then kill them quickly with my abyssal dagger.

Yay...(yawn) more troll leather...:steammocking:

I like to build and hate raids. What I did was have a couple of seeds and use one for building but not kill any bosses past the first one. I killed the second boss on another seed and haven't gone after the other bosses yet.
By not killing bosses on my build seed, I only get the first raid levels and can ignore the meadow creatures attacking, or I pop out and stand in a clearing and kill them all as they attack me for the free wood and meat etc.
Having 2 seeds lets me cheeze the no ores thru portals rule that is not fun.

Raise terrain wall, make narrow entrance and trolls wont get in (with workbenches covering area inside earth walls to stop spawns inside!

console

Google how and commands I don't use them.

You can ghost so nothing aggros on you.
you can God and take no damage
you can shut off raids too I believe
you can use a kill all command to ... kill all
plenty of other stuff too I guess... spawn resources for building

anyway you can check it all out on google


If you don't want to put in the work or don't want to see defenses around your home or whatever...
