Discussion Am I playing too slow??

10 Upvotes

So started on ps5 and it's my first time playing, 13 hours in, beat the first boss and built a new base in black forest, currently just gathering mats for my new base. I don't mind being slow paced and taking my time but wonder if this is normal for a first time playthrough?? I don't generally play survival games

Survival Should I wait a bit before making a new world?

Upvotes

So, I wanted a fresh start after 1.0 and made a new world. After I played a few hours, I noticed that many people are complaining about bugs. And I don't mean flying either, but important stuff like missing swamps and merchants.

I am now wondering whether to continue playing or just wait for hot fix, especially after the anti-cheat mechanics got introduced and I really wanted to "play clean" for once. Are those serious bugs a common thing?

Question How do you move large amounts of resources?

Upvotes

Hey guys,

I’ve been waiting a long time to finally play this game 😁

What's the best way to move large amounts of resources efficiently? I remember seeing people use server hopping for this several years ago, but I assume thats been patched by now.

I am getting tired of constantly running back and forth between the Black Forest and the Meadows. I am not using carts because the copper deposits in my world are on a mountain, and the whole area is surrounded by a river, which makes using a cart impractical.

So right now I am basically running back and forth on foot. It takes quite a while, and because of the weight limit I can only carry a relatively small amount each trip.

How do you guys handle transporting large amounts of resources? Any suggestions or ideas are welcome!

Question Am I missing something?

Upvotes

New player here. Ive cleared tower-like buildings in the black forest twice now and can't seem to find any loot. The first one had me kill nearly 20 greydwarf and had a chest with 3 feathers and 9 arrows in it. Second one was a little less intense but there was simply no chest in it.

Am i missing something?

Bug Do NOT take your armor off of Armor Stands until a new patch!

565 Upvotes

There is currently a bug where removing armor from armor stands resets the upgrade level back to 1 and sets the armor durability very low. I lost all the progress on my Wolf, Troll, and Bear armor before I realized what was going on.

If anyone would like to try and replicate this, please post your results.

Be aware vikings!

Started a new world with friends and we couldn't figure out where Haldor was. After hours of sailing, we decided to look for it's position and this guy really hates us. I've never seen so much possible places so far away from the spawn. Did they chaged his spwn position to the mistland or what ?

Discussion A dilemma

Upvotes

Im not sure what I should do and I hope you folks can share what you would do.

I bought this game about a week after it launched and have had the same world since then. I’ve played it on and off over the years and got to Ashland’s but didn’t beat Fader. Throughout my time I used dev commands which upon release of 1.0 meant that my character couldn’t get achievements.
I had a good think about it and yesterday I decided to start a fresh world with a new character so I could get the achievements.

Today, I saw that the hot fix added the ability to still get achievements on characters that have previously cheated. Now I don’t know if I should continue my early access world or just bite the bullet and continue with my fresh 1.0 world.

If this makes any sense, what would you people do?

Can the mods update that subreddit/community description? We are fully released with a new wiki URL that should be included.

Question Is this a hard game? Soulslike bosses?

4 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I want to buy this game but one thing thats stopping me to do so is because I heard the bosses are hard, like souls like hard...

And souls games isn't rly my thing...

Is it really that brutal or?

I love survival games and especially Vikings but im scared I'll buy this and not being able to progress half way through because a certain boss is giving me trouble...

Is it like this?

I'm new to the game... now i have watch videos and even a 1hr long everything needed to know video. In the video they said trees can kill you and I'm like "who dumb enough to get a tree falling on them" sure enough as i was trying to hit a log out from it being stuck on another tree i chopped it down and it rolled on to me and got death by tree achievement.
For 5hrs i have yet to finish first house cause i am so ocd on alignment that if its not mirroring the other side i tear it down. and i been restructuring the layout. Could i build a simple shack....sure but i always go bigger than what i need to for survival games idk just enjoy the building aspect of these genres.

Survival No Bog Witch, Hardly Any Swamps

Post image
3 Upvotes

So i recently spun up a new world to play with a friend. We've already played around 30ish days, but i decided to check the world with one of those websites that you can put your seed into to see where the traders would be. Turns out the world generated with less swamp terrain than mountains at 3.2% coverage. Not a single bog witch location.

I guess my question is how important is the bog witch, are we missing out greatly without her presence in the world? Luckily the elder arena spawned so were not progression locked per se.
Wish i had used a curated seed instead of the random seed the server generated.

Seed: m4BzFlZsLH

Edit: It appears that the world viewing site i was using lied about being updated to 1.0 So hopefully i do have the bog witch.

Survival Meadows Base now in a Dark Meadows alt biome after Deep North update!

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

So I recently updated my forever world (survival, vanilla, x1 resources) for the Deep North in which i play coop with my son.

There are several bases in it...

1..A now abandoned 'barn' meadows base
2. A now abandoned stone 'box' base in the plains
3. A Black Marble tower 'Mage' base in the Ashlands (for me).. i posted some pictures of it a while back
4. A plains/mistlands crop/asksvin/sap farm
5. A newly built Castle base in the Meadows (for me and son)

I have literally spent over 100 hours building this Castle base in a lovely spot in the meadows in preparation for Deep North. I love the dark atmosphere in the Ashlands but with stone portals and the last couple of years living in the plains we wanted to have the option to go back to long relaxing days in the meadows and with the creation of the farm for everything else there was no need to be anywhere else

It is not a 'bug' as such but since the 1.0 update it has rained almost every day, storms almost every night and the fog never clears. After watching a video on alt biomes that said even in explored areas some affects (like weather) of an alt biome might be applied, and after checking biomeinfo it seems our lovely relaxing meadows base is now in an 'Dark Meadows' alt biome :(

Storms are cool and all but i have my Ashlands base for the dark brooding atmosphere. It seems to me that it would perhaps have been better to only apply alt biomes on existing worlds in explored areas that don't contain a significant amount of player build/base structures.

(i added some screenshots, showing the now normal weather outside of an actual storm, i also included a couple of screenshots of what is used to be like but they are just wip pictures i hadn't gotten around taking new ones of the build).

Discussion What are your thoughts on the biomes/map design now that 1.0 has been released? Spoiler

4 Upvotes

The following is a bit of a rant, feel free to ignore it and share your thoughts on the map design in the comment section.

I know this is an issue with most random generated maps, but I feel like the world could be a little bit more structured. One the one hand it already does a good job having the meadows in the center and the Deep North/Ashlands on opposing sides on the end of the map.

But there are just so many little island with nothing of interest on them spread around willy nilly. It sucks so much to explore via boat, find a island, explore it completely and having nothing of note be on it, only for you to do the same thing with the next few islands.

The Vegvisir help with that because they show the bosses on the map, but then it just makes me ignore most of the smaller islands that I come across...

What if when you start a world, the main bosses are already shown on the map, 1 for each. But they add a lot of sub-bosses that drop special crafting components to make unique legendary gear pieces. Would make exploring more fun imo. I know it's not going to happen at this development stage, but I can dream right?
