In my experience, keeping two adult boars seems to be best. They always seem to have 3 piggies as long as they are well fed.

Loving my new round outpost (which took entirely too long for an outpost  ) even though I don't think it's possible to get the support beams to not look off center. This is the best I could come up with to keep the smoke out.Now I just need stuff to put inside it, as it's feeling kinda empty right now.

Well, me and my friend finished the Plains boss and celebrated with a trip to the edge of the world so we're happy to call this content complete for now. Took us about two weeks living and breathing the game whenever we weren't at work or asleep. Absolutely sublime from start to finish and I hope the final product is as exceptional as the early access version was. God drat. Game of 2021 to beat for sure.

This game's got a sick sense of humor. My initial island had *exactly* 12 cores worth of dungeons on the starter island, and a long oceanic trip to find the elder. One of my steam friends made fun of me for it, since he had enough dungeons to kickstart his portals and metal industry, and a very close elder spawn too. Now the situation is reversed, since I had a very large swamp biome next to where I already had a portal for the Elder, so I'm up to my eyes in Iron and am ready to take on Bonemass once I get all my fermenting done, and he's spent 3 days raiding coastlines looking for crypts. Sucks to suck, I guess.

Post-Elder spoilers, maybe? I'm being watched!  I thought I saw something at the edge of a black forest I was exploring, but I wasn't sure if it was real or if I imagined it. Then he showed up near my base, clear as day; nearly gave he a heart attack! Who is he, what does he want, is this about to turn into some survival horror poo poo?!

^^^ Looks like harpoon time to me Also the Bonemass sure is a dick. Our whole party of like 8 people went to go try and fight him tonight, and he repeatedly killed most of us while we never got him below 30% health. Anyone have tips on fighting that guy? Possible mistakes we made were:

PittTheElder posted:^^^ Looks like harpoon time to me Anyone at the front needs maxed bronze armor at a minimum, iron would be better. Have a couple people with high block skill and good shields with maces rotating in and out of the poison cloud as health allows, the rest using frost arrows (flame is not great against him). Anyone using arrows should have no trouble avoiding damage, just take some healing and stamina potions in case of emergency. The good news is that if you have poison resist he's not particularly deadly, if you're not doing enough damage it's pretty easy to just run away and regroup. Iron maces are way better than bronze although they are extremely expensive to upgrade, but having one or two will make a big difference. Two people in my group did him with just frost arrows, later I went back with iron armor and an iron mace and was able to solo him pretty easily to get his drop (he will scale with # of players though).

Is it me or does it feel not worth upgrading your items at all, at least in the context of the material costs? Considering that a maxed out item is only equivalent to a base level of the next tier, it feels like you're better off toughing it out.

Other than that probably. Shields notwithstanding, upgrade the shields, they're cheap and great

Yeah, troll armor is probably what I would invest upgrades for since the material is easy to get compared to the sheer amount of bronze you'd need. Everything else is like, an expedition into very dangerous territory and moving the material en masse needs a road and a cart most likely

 Found an intact stone tower on the cost of a tiny patch of black forest surrounded by swamp with a lot of crypts. There's even a handy docking boulder I hope Odin doesn't mind squatters!

250 hours in this game and I finally found out that even just an unupgraded bronze buckler is enough to parry trolls. The unarmed ones, at least. And with them being weak to piercing damage, a buckler and bronze spear just fucks them the gently caress up.

We split into 2x fours instead and did it back to back and it went completely smoothly. We were significantly overgeared though, because we don't like pushing bosses too often as it raises the world difficulty for everyone and we have a contigent who are just farming and building. Each team was more or less 2x Iron Maces, 2x Iron Mauls, everyone in Iron Armor with Poison Potions. Maulers went after the adds, whilst the Macers just focused on slamming Bonemass.

Last night I spent two hours sailing to finally circumnavigate my starting island and then I circumnavigated the shoreline of another island my buddies and I made our first landfall on after we got our first raft (but we didn’t go back to for reasons). Turns put that very first island seems amazing. It is very thin but extremely long and looks like Argentina in shape. It has no less than six biomes including meadows, black forest, plains, swamp, mountain, and mist, and to top it all off it has a/the merchant right at a river inlet. I cut across the inlet as I wanted to log off back “home” but this island expands nearly all the way to the south pole of the map already. I may venture to the extreme next time.... I need to build a portal to the merchant stat. Now I can finally go fishing  !

Early forays into the mountain are punishing. Now I know that you can't fight wolves anywhere, you have to carefully kite them to somewhere where your swings will actually hit them. Corpse runs back are loving miserable. I'm so happy I got a portal up, I'm going to need a full set of a food, cold potion and probably eikthyr just to be able to get up the loving mountain in the first place, then hopefully make it to my body. An area that requires and item/potion to survive combined with naked corpse runs is rough. E: I really need to stop pulling up to land in my long boat. I'm getting tired of having to deconstruct it because its stuck yet again. Demon_Corsair fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Feb 28, 2021 |

You could also turn on "Creative mode" with debugmode and just build to your hearts content, but maybe I don't know your pain you're trying to avoid yet. Only get weakass treegoblin raids, which are more of a nuisance than a threat. Plus now my new fence with stakes-gaps has them funneling their own suicides towards us.

Our last boss altar is in the middle of the water a short swim away from the coast. This is not…ideal. A water boss you fight in boats would be dope as hell though if not extremely frustrating

Depending on the orientation, corner pieces can have two positions that looks correct but only one counts as cover. Put a vertical beam in the corner to alleviate this a bit.

My plains base is in a pretty unique location, it's a really small area surrounded by meadows and a piece of black forest. So the wilderness creatures and greydwarves take most of the assault. Here is a little plains base tour: https://i.imgur.com/3JLZHAD.mp4 I still get attacked fairly often but I'm assuming not as much as if I had built in the center of the plains.

I've played for over 50 hours but have done hardly anything except build a sprawling estate with a house and grounds for all the crafting and most the storage, a honey farm and small garden, and now this house with just a beautiful view with big windows looking over the river. I put enough beds in for the four people I play with. I've not done much else but kill the 1st boss and figure out the navigation system. However, my raft disappeared twice. One of my friends has a viking long boat, so can't wait to log into his server again and go for a sail.

IMO armor upgrades should also slowly get rid of the movement penalty and give significantly more durability per a level to make it worth it. The movement penalty doesn't make much sense in the current state of the game anyway because there are not alternative sets to use so there isn't any kind of choice being presented, just you go slower once you hit iron.

Any small hints at when you unlock more of the stone based building materials? My group just killed the second boss, but have not progressed to what seems to be the next logical biome yet. Having tons of fun building, but if stone buildings are coming soon I’ll chill for a bit so I can do that.
