Here lies Brunhilde, crushed by trees she was chopping down probably ten times.

Man I just can't eyeball the fall direction at all!

I was gonna make fun of all you people getting killed by falling trees because it honestly seems crazy, but then I was out chopping wood and a loving massive Troll snuck up behind me and 1-shot me with a tree-trunk club. I didn't even know there were Trolls in the game, it was the 1st time I'd encountered one.

So yea, I will now concede that wood choppin is more dangerous than I thought :downs:

Our black forest copper mining operation ended up becoming our main stronghold as it turned out to be near a swamp and a decent sized mountain biome.

Normally an outpost for us is the material for portals and enough wood for a workbench and a log wall ring and door. That seems to hold up just fine to any greydwarf problems. A forward base we set up near a distant boss became a major keep because it was close to a bunch of plains biomes. Generally they start small and turn into major things depending on the need and proximity to various biomes.

I like to chuck a bunch of sharp stakes around the perimeter, because greydwarves will just suicide against them all day and you can just ignore them.

The current thinking is that structures need to be at 100% health to give you a full refund.

I've definitely had instances where I've broken down crafting benches and a bunch of the mats never showed up, and then when I log back in they're sitting exactly where they should have dropped. I dunno if it's an issue with them getting stuck in/on building geometry or what, but it's worth trying before re-grinding whatever poo poo is missing.

Yes, we noticed the same. I assume it was an oversight that it worked to begin with.

I ran into this today too and tbh I wondered the same thing. Didn't see any mention in the patch notes though so :shrug:

e] Also I really wish they'd lower the spawn rates of greydwarves, they aren't challenging and don't really drop anything useful, so it's just a hassle constantly running into them in the forests.

Tame wolves. I go out with 4 wolves whenever I'm in the forests and they tear everything apart up to swamp-tier without me lifting a finger.

They also chase down deer and boar for you while you stare at your feet looking for mushrooms.

Interestingly they continue to breed and give birth out in the wild. My local area is slowly becoming filled with 'wild' tame wolves roaming the forests destroying the ecosystem and it rocks.

What the hell i've been playing for days and have literally never encountered a wolf. Building my own personal wolf army sounds like extremely my poo poo.

Odin gave up an eye to see the future and the 'reaper' has one glowing eye. The reaper that shows up is a common depiction of Odin.

The only "Reaper" in Norse mythology would be Hel, but the figure in game is male and doesn't look like her. Most likely it's just the All-father checking your progress.

Yea I know who Odin is and what he looks like in the game, I just meant are all the posters in the thread saying they've seen the Grim Reaper just seeing the Odin model and getting confused or did they actually put like a separate skeletal, scythe-havin no poo poo grim reaper in as well. I wasn't really expecting it but y'know, there's all kinds of cool poo poo snuck into this game :shrug:

Yea you can tame them, you just gotta corral a couple by kiting them into a pen, then chuck in some food for them to eat. Building them a house and naming it Boarhalla is optional but recommended :toot:

That's absolutely a thing. Trees give ground-level structural support for anything attached to the trunk, so it's perfectly viable to plant some pines and bury them in walls for a base that's much taller than it has any right to be.

I built a wall all the way around my base, only open spot was where the boat could enter the dock.

Turns out the fuckers can attack while swimming. If I'm not paying super close attention to be able to hear the quiet thwacks of them hitting the boat they will kill it over time. Karve I could do two gates and have a sort of gated dock. I don't know what to do to keep the longship safe.

it's easiest to just park them a little furthe from shore, stuff won't swim out to attack them and they don't get moved or damaged by storms anyway. As long as you can swim to it you're sweet.
