gently caress that, I want trebuchets to fling stacks of ore between islands. I don't know that the vikings ever used trebuchets but they technically existed in their period of activity.

My friend and I spent about four hours last night building a river bridge, and I finished it this morning. Only then did it occur to me that it would've been vastly easier to build a "flat" foot bridge to get the stakes down, THEN build the arch on top of that and dismantle the foot bridge instead of the insane scaffolding (and a raft!) tricks we were doing to try to get the stakes down on the river bed up to the stairway arch.

I've bounced off every survival game except this one, which I'm really loving. I'm just spending all my time building stuff. Initially had a very basic shack, then found a nice open meadow with a nice view of a river and a black forest, built a nice long house. Then I got invaded by a forest so I built a stake wall and towers to shoot at the invaders from. Now I'm going to need to move again to get to the next boss, and I'll have an excuse to build yet another thing. This time with four foot meter so I can have a taller roof!

Untrustable posted:Is there a secret to boats? I parked 3 rafts on a coastline (don't judge, I kept getting killed) and when I returned not one was still there. My improved boat has stayed without issue. Do rafts just float off? It seemed like they had been staying in place while not being used. I've generally built a workshop and then used little fences or whatever to trap the raft in. Then again, the times I didn't do that, I came back later and found my rafts I thought floated away. I mean, maybe they did, but maybe I just forgot where I landed.

How can I keep mobs from destroying my longship? I have a cove I park my boats in since I don't want to build a giant boathouse. It's a meadow so the only things there are greydwarves and necks. Is there something I can do to keep them away? It's really annoying especially when the game doesn't refund you the mats for the ship.

There is a way to get ore transported more easily that probably should be considered an exploit/metagaming but was used by my group a few times to get large iron loads out of the swamp. One person can take items (in this case ore) and exit into a solo world, place it in a chest, then re-enter the MP world and travel to the intended location, re-enter the solo world and retrieve, then re-log into the MP world with the ore transported. The fact that world and character saves seem to be separate can be used in a lot of exploit-ish ways like this including refilling your stamina if you fall out of a boat and need to swim, refilling your HP in a difficult fight, mining out an entire ore vein and storing it in ether-world while not having to leave the vein, or transporting the 200 weight dragon eggs up a mountain more easily. I won't say these methods will increase enjoyment of the game necessarily, but it did provide a lot of saved sanity when we were farming crypts to outfit 7 people in iron. I'm sure using it like this is not 100% intended by the devs, but I won't tell you how to play your game either

I mean, if you're farming with so many people, you can probably get some extra economy of scale compared to solo players/smaller groups.  I appreciate that you can take your character out of the world because it's a separate file, and like it's neat to be able to visit other worlds with your stuff, but I also just lost like most of carrot seeds/carrots and the cultivator because I took them out of a box and then bluescreened, so the server saved that they weren't in the box but my character hadn't saved that they were in my inventory.

If you lost stuff to a bug just use the console to spawn it back.Midgetskydiver posted:How can I keep mobs from destroying my longship? I have a cove I park my boats in since I don't want to build a giant boathouse. It's a meadow so the only things there are greydwarves and necks. You can build a little base inside a walled off area next to the coast with a land wall far out enough on both sides to create a sort of harbor. It doesn't do anything for the water, but if it's long enough the mobs won't try to swim around it. You can make the land wall by using the 'raise ground' function of the hoe. It works in sort of a weird way. If you target the very end of your land wall (at the walls level) it will extend it AND raise it, at which time you can use a pickaxe and hoe to keep it level. If you instead try to extend it by raising from the bottom of the water (so just off of the end of your wall) it takes a ton of rocks. e: and you need to have stuff inside the walled off area so monsters don't spawn inside of it.

One of my favourite little silly things in this game is how you can, very easily, just basically ninjarun up a sheer cliff wall by just running into it and spamming the jump button fast enough.

Our main base has started to get pretty bad fps. It's nothing on the scale of these crazy bases so I feel like something must be going wrong. We are running a dedicated server on one of those popular gaming hosts. We're starting to do testing on whether its the added geometry (the buildings), all the terrain modifications, or maybe all the items in containers. We haven't found anything so far. Any ideas?

I've only had frame drops when there's a lot of smoke, usually when my camera is inside it. I assume most of us have proper chimneys but it's all I got for what to look at.

Our dedicated server crashed a couple times last night, when it was just 2 of us playing. It was quite solid right up until we landed on a new chunk of land, our first major expedition away from the relatively small area we'd explored around the spawn. After a few crash/restart cycles (with no apparent reason in the logs), things seemed to be back to normal. No idea what was going on; we found it extremely disconcerting because we rafted over, rebuilt a random tower we found on the shore & dropped some beds there, then the server crashed and we came back to find the raft gone and the tower reverted to the way it was--we were afraid all our buildings on the whole map might be wiped, but couldn't check because we didn't have a raft. Luckily everything was still ok back at base.

After getting to the current end, I've been reflecting on the journey so far. Tiny spoilers: It's kind of weird, as much as Swamp sucked, it was probably my favourite part of the game because it sucked. It was dangerous, we were too terrified to go there at night, everyone died a lot. Same as Black Forest and the hordes of Grey Dwarfs as we took our pee-wee boat back and forth for copper and tin. By mountains and plains, you know what you're doing, you know what to look for, you know how to play, and it isn't as dangerous since the game has bred a good degree of caution. Furling villages are tough, but it just becomes a kiting exercise, unlike the Swamp with its dangerous waters.

With pvp on, my friend and i have managed to launch each pretty far by person A harpooning person B and then jumping off something high. It's kind of funny. Another idea I have that I havent tried yet is encapsulating a tree in a weird way with structures, and then felling it to see if the tree-fall physics can go crazy or a cart roller coaster Feral Integral fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Feb 24, 2021 |

As our homebase has grown, I've noticed that our territory has now encircled areas where wild, aggressive boars can spawn. At the same time it has been very difficult to keep our base locked down from greydwarf spawns because our workbenches keep being mysteriously destroyed. Recently I caught a boar just going wild all on its own destroying a workbench within our walls, and my theory is that a boar knocking out one or two benches causes a gap for dwarves to spawn, who when go on a systematic attack and will clear out all the benches in an entire area. It's a really annoying pain in the rear end. I've started putting fences around the benches in the problem areas, but I don't know if this will solve the problem. Ideally I'd like to just be rid of the aggressive boars within the grounds (Necks don't seem interested in property damage). Maybe I could drop caches of food in the known spawning areas and hope we just tame them all? I don't know if that would prevent further spawning.

just to be clear all that danheim/wardruna neofolk stuff is like 90% modern sensibilities and a modern mythologization of what "viking" music would sound like proper era-appropriate "viking" music sounds like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAO7_GryWTM jaunty, corny pentatonic sea-shanty sounds, much like most traditional folk music. that "viking" neofolk do be slappin tho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q2qYPVNU2Q

It's a meadow so the only things there are greydwarves and necks. It does refund the mats when it gets destroyed by mobs. The nails and skins will sink to the bottom of your cove while wood floats. If you can dive deep enough, you can recover the mats. How do you dive? Jump high off of ladders into the water.

Yeah we've been finding all our bronze boats destroyed. We've lost at least 4. The iron boat doesn't seem to be taking any damage wherever we stick it. So the safest harbor is not touching anything or half on the ground? Also anyone tried to recover mats by just raising the harbor floor? Does it work or glitch the items?

Made a bronze sword to go with my bronze axe and finally built a boat. Unequipped most of my stuff because I was worried about dying and grabbed my old flint gear. Got attacked by a sea serpent, tried to run, beached on a sandbar and it wouldn't leave, so pelted it with arrows . It hosed off and I hopped off to repair the boat that had 1 hp and...no hammer,, no workbench, no axe. Scrambled around looking for rocks/branches to pick up like the old days, then was back on the boat happily I do wish sailing was faster, because God drat this is a big map. I have the second boss marked and didn't even get halfway to him when circumnavigating the island im on The only two biomes I have are meadows and forest which doesn't seem good Love the sailing music. This is a chill game, I just wish the little dwarves wouldn't annoy me while I mine. Oh, and I can't figure out how to lure boars with mushrooms

So the safest harbor is not touching anything or half on the ground? You can only raise ground on the cove/shoreline if you can stand on something to use your tool. Ideally the best cove are ones where it's deep enough for the longboat but still shallow enough to place stone walls to stack so when you dock, you just place a wall behind your boat so they cant swim in to hit it
