Name: Vault Patio Location: FG Server, Vault So I may have replaced the walls and created a patio at the Vault. I feel like @GazzaGarratt did such a nice job on the dock, it needed a long boat, patio, and outdoor seating/bonfire arrangements. So as @FallenDark200 found his newly discovered tree clearing and moat digging ability, I was working on the patio. I think it came out just fine. I was getting tired of the front of rear of this base looking like poop. OOO and I added a dew flower beds for planting things!!! Thanks @RenFengge for fixing my planters as I was creating, looking top notch now!

OOOO cars!!! I'm 36 have have had 40 vehicles thus far, current stable is the mentioned '05 R53 Mini JCW, my '68 Pontiac LeMans, and our '58 Chevy Apache.

I have some but since I'm married to her and she has sticks...look up arnis, I won't be sharing them...

You did!!! My buddy from work also uses that service and found out he owned it yesterday!!

It's painful we both have been playing it for a few hours. I think I won an achievement for being banished as leader is quick order!!

Name: Deep Stone Crypt 🙂 Location: FG Server, Swamp OK OK, it's been a few days since I've built anything worth posting. After chatting with @GazzaGarrattthe other day, there was an expressed need to smelt IN the swamp area to make it easier. So I took the good work the gents did building the land bridge from our safe island to swamp and expanded upon it...just a bit. I may or may not have built an elevated walkway into the heart of the swamp where nothing can get you, but you can get them!! Oh yes, this swampy super highway does indeed connect nicely to our first major stone/wood creation. Designed by the famous Bearded Guru, The "Deep Stone Crypt House" was an abandon building, left by some unprepared Viking soul years ago. After the Beard saw the bones he knew what must be done to make this the ultimate work-from-home quarantine purchase. Approximately 6.7865% of the original structure remains, however he did leave a few walls for nostalgia. The weird angles of this one, along with being in the trees, proved to be a challenge but in the end the new owner will truly get a one-of-a-kind home. The lower level sports a fine patio overlooking the majestic swamp along with a sunken crypt for you to explore. Currently two floors with internal smelting on the lower level and a cozy sleeping quarters upstairs. Some appliances included, level 3 forge to tippy tap away and a bare bones workbench makes this new-to-market fresh while allowing for your personal touches. Don't take our word for it, come see yourself by taking the Swamp Portal on the left hand side of mead hall. Viking Realtors, your know our motto Loveheim, Laughheim, Pillageheim F...it's 1am, I need sleep....

I mean, really...

Well shit, the swamp will wreck you, I would say at least 2 people minimum to explore, 3 is better. I know @GazzaGarrattand @tronic44 (saw a few of Tron's graves kicking around!!) explored at least 2 sunken crypts, @RenFengge and I started a third. I extended the walkway to "land" in the swamp and started a tree house, since ya know, tree house. I've also upgraded our forge at the Vault to level 7! We now have a stone cutter there too. Feel free to demo it then rebuild it for the crafting items. Since we beat the second boss or triggered it some other way, there are now raids that attack our bases. @RenFengge and I were at the home base and we attacked by swamp things in one encounter and a troll in another. This new mechanic for the server is....fun? There does not seem to be a safe place anymore so time to enhance our defenses and rethink our layouts at major bases like Vault and Home. We can build with stone now so maybe we do some demo on the OG structure at home and start building the FG Castle??? More than happy to start but I know many of you put some time on day 1 into that base. I don't want to start reconstructing it until we agree to make it a stone castle!!! Maybe we do a build event this week instead of a boss. I'm pretty sure there is no way in hell we will defeat the swamp boss this week. I'm not sure I want to, TBH, I'd rather have the group put some thought into building out the FG Home base and establishing a nice compound for new folks that may join. Thoughts? OOO we can have a long boat too as I saw it in my crafting menu 🙂

Hey @Tar-Eruntalion There is a process to fix that, we had downloaded the wrong files. Also, @RenFengge is working a more complete guide for server access, but this will get you fixed and back up and running. Go to "...\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim" Rename the Valheim folder to "Valheim_old" Open the Steam desktop app and right click on Valheim on the Library tab Click "Properties" Click "Local Files" Click "Verify integrity of game files..."This should redownload the files that we mistakenly altered by using the "plus" mod. This will recreate the "Valheim" folder in the first step. Click this link https://bit.ly/3brRyEj and download the .dll file Navigate to "...\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim\valheim_Data\Managed" Drag and drop this file into that directory Click the replace file option when prompted, then you're all set. The server will work again. Let me know if this does not work and we can get on and help get you up an running. - Carl

This came across my feed @GazzaGarratt, maybe take this on for your next dock! Steam Community :: Screenshot STEAMCOMMUNITY.COM Steam Community: Valheim.

Oh no @FallenDark200 I hope the puppy is doing alright. Thanks for the kind words, I've always enjoyed making things and since I've left the manufacturing sector, this is filling the void at this point. Glad you are enjoying the creations. See you on soon.

Name: Hunting Lodge Location: FG Server, Elder Base Camp So @RenFengge and I promised a portal to the Elder as we dicked around trying to get the Stag. With this goal in mind, I wandered up to the Elder location on the map and scouted a place to build. I saw a troll and took him out from a massive rock face overlooking the water, and what appears to be mountains. So I think to myself, self...can I build a hunting lodge INSIDE a rock face and fill it in with wood. Well the answer is, well of course you can. So tonight I give to you the comfy hunting cabin that sleeps 8 in my first super compact Japanese style bunks (google "capsule hotel), now that's space saving! With my inner Ikea going, I went about decorating our hunting cabin with all of our prey. Front and center is Marvin the troll I killed to christen the site. As you can tell, the outside has a small footprint with only some roof showing. The inside is basically glamping, although, 100 hours in and I've yet to see anyone built a shitter.... Hope everyone enjoys, the portal name is "Elder" and can be found at on the left hand side of the ring in the mead hall. OOO fun fact, I also built a path right to the Elder alter so no one gets lost on our upcoming hunting trip!!

We will have to go kill it then!!! Thanks for the heads up. We plan on sailing south to explore, hence the long sail from the north thus far.

Name: Basement Location: FG Server, West Island @RenFengge and I may have taken the boat for a sail...we may have discovered a smallish west island...and may have created a portal there. The boat is also there at the moment... @GazzaGarrattif we wreck it, I will build you a new one, promise!! So we built this little cabin on a dungeon that we landed on...figured they don't respawn so now we have a basement to store things?!?!?

As requested @GazzaGarratt you now have signs to the portals. I think this does the job well enough! Skål

Thanks @GazzaGarratt, I started to play with sings for the portals but it was late and it did not look good easily. I'll attack it today. As for the dock, I'm super excited for you guys to finish that. @RenFengge also realized we only explored north so far 😂. I think she plans on going south for another portal post!

Name: Grand Central Location: FG Server, Home Base UPDATE: Poked around the inside tonight, goal was getting a working level 3 forge, meadery (cauldron & fermenter), and legit storage bank. After farming 70 copper to make the magic happen, I went to work. I'm quite happy with the results and think this might be the best, and most compact storage set up. This allows 500u of 12 items in only 2 x 1.5 cubed area, 500x16 for a 2x2 or 6k and 8k unit capacity respectively. That's pretty compact considering most small outposts are at least 4x6! I splurged with some sconces but never fear, there is plenty more copper out in the world. I guess I was that anal-retentive guy for label and sorting after all. So go out, forage and bring back the spoils to the potion pantry. I plan on doing similar ones for other goods as well. Last but not least, feel free to have a brew and curl up by the fire on backs of all those deer we slaughtered!!

Welcome!! GET VALHEIM....this is all. But really, glad to see new folks getting into it. Great time for gaming being in lockdown.

Name: Grand Central Location: FG Server, Home Base UPDATE: So I put a few hours in tonight, I think I made decent progress. I added a bit of style to the back, it's a half round room that has 7 (can fit 8, need a few materials) portals, only 4 in use which frees up some space and we can put another 8 upstairs. More additions include a forge bench, for our meadery. I was half thinking of mining a basement for it since we need fire and a cauldron, still thinking about that one. I 've had to dig deep to level this land out and I might hit the water table too quickly but we will see, more to come. To Do's: I'm going to be looking to fellow Vikings to help decorate. I think the sconce lighting will be good so we need 2 copper bars per. I think maybe hang some of our trophy's on the wall? Maybe some weapons? When folks play for a bit, we will need everyone to pick up everything!! Berries, weeds, shrooms, etc. All these things are needed for potions now. Also, "bee" on the look out for bee hives, we need more queens to set up more hives here at the meadery. Finally, I need our more anal-retentive or OCD folks to help with chest signage, at this point, having dedicated chests for everything is probably a must with signs.

@Plumbers Crack for you!!!

I mean we have too don't we? Here is my opening gambit When the troll realizes you’re out of stamina...

@phil bottle, @GazzaGarratt Well thanks for the feedback and kind words, I will take more in progress shots going forward. We will have at least 12 portals in this building. Can certainly fit double if we wanted to. My thought was having another hub somewhere. Like when we get to another continent. Think train station or airport. We can pick 12 locations of importance here, with a 13th leading to another station. These hubs would just be a leg in a connecting "flight". Will be better than traveling across oceans everytime! Although the dock you two were working on is going to make that first voyage special!!!

Name: Grand Central Location: FG Server, Home Base Now that we have portals, we need a hub to move about the map. After much "debate" about how they worked with @RenFengge , I was tasked with making a hub. I wanted to make a great mead hall anyway so the two naturally seem to fit. Alas, my designs were underway, and I think good progress was made. It's about 57.9873% complete at this point and will be done by the end of the week. With the portals downstairs and the FG Meadery upstairs, you too can enjoy a pint before dashing away to mine some copper or chop some wood through your favorite portal. Enjoy some in flight shots as the day progressed. I especially enjoy the dragon head, keeping our mead hall and portal hub safe!!!
