Play the game with valheim plus mod. It lets you modify resource drops among other things. Seriously, the grind in this game is insane and the the time it takes to do basically anything is ridiculous. I love grindy games but holy hell, Valheim is on a whole new level. -If this is your first play, I'd recommend vanilla first though.

While I love the game, every dungeon is just the same boring tunnel system over and over. there are no real points of interest so aside from scavenging ore and nuking fulling/dvergr bases, there isn't much point of exploration. The sheer amount of materials (looking at you, Iron) make the game un-fun

And like you said, farming. You need lots of farmed food but its annoying to get. Valheim is very inconsiderate of the player's time and it feels like I spend more time fighting the game and its systems then actual mobs.

I won't even play the game without plus anymore.
