One building tip I discovered is that you can save space on chests by building them into the floor. just remove the floor tile, build half walls below the cavity, put a new floor tile below the half walls, and you can fill every inch of the space with side by side chests, which now act as a floor you can store items in. You can even place signs into the sidewall, allowing you to label the floor chests!

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

good one!

My additional tip for surtling farms - you can build.little hallways with portals in different swamps to connect as many surtling spawners as you need and then simply afk while enabling autowalk. You constantly walk through portals so you activate all spawners again and again and again. Do it high up in the trees and close it off so you dont get destroyed by potential raids. Great video as always ❤

@@33mavboy well you can do it pretty early game when you still need a ton of coal for iron, silver, bm... and you dont need to connect 20, sometimes youre not lucky enough to have more flames together anywhere close so you can connect like 4-5, the cores are useful for portals and smelters, you run out quickly when you work on many projects :D but I understand, not for everybody, in some playthroughs I do this asap and in some I dont even build a farm in one swamp, I just come close and kill them.

[@cjimmersive6955]

5:10 player base items that cause spawn suppression (workbenches, torches, portals, etc) will also stop the surtlings from spawning nearby, so when you're setting up your coal farm treehouse, make sure to place it far enough way that three surtlings continue to spawn every five minutes. I once had a farm that wasn't working until I found a stray unlit torch. Destroyed the torch, and the surtlings started spawning again.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

oh man! really good point. I definitely should have mentioned this. yeah, you could really confuse yourself if accidently having a torch or workbench nearby

[@pumpkinpartysystem]

Oh, 4 is actually really funny. My base is on a meadows island with one of those stone circles, and coincidentally, that exact spot is where I built my main portal hub just because I thought it'd look cool to have a bunch of portals between the giant stones.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

haha that works out nicely. Just as the developers intended

[@Holtijaar]

Addition to building on indestructible objects advice: For easier swamp exploration you can build a small safehouse on top of a crypt entrance - they are indestructible as well, and you can quickly build a small shack on top, with a workbench, campfire, a portal back home, and a chest to store excess loot. Just put the stairs high enough so that you can jump in but enemies can't.

great one. I always build my portals on top of them

[@vadimblin]

Good one but if you've a portal... why building the other stuff? Chest for metal is something i get cause u can't port those... unless u change the world settings. Just port home to get the max rested buff or to repair your tools

At that lvl raiding monsters can't get you anymore. Sooo i don't build walls at all. I build towers to deal with drakes but the rest spawns in the water and can't reach me. Outside that base i just build Portal towers. No maintenance needed. Especially if you get whisp torches or dwarfen lanterns.

Worth noting: Sleeping through the night resets the status of your tame and acclimating animals to "hungry", even if you just fed them. If they stay fed, unalerted, and within I think 60 meters of you for 30 cumulative minutes (equivalent to one full day-night cycle), a freshly trapped animal will become fully tame. Progress pauses if any of those conditions aren't met but the animals still eat every 10 minutes. Tldr: if you're taming critters, you probably want to pull that all-nighter. It saves food and gets you to a stable meat supply faster than if you're just out all day adventuring and then going to bed when you get back. And I'm also just that person who builds bases as close to multiple-biome junctions as possible so I can third-party all the nighttime inter-biome fighting lol.

[@carlaslater2849]

What I do with the Greydwarf spawner is surround it with a bunch of campfires. If done right, they'll spawn and be unable to see the player. Then, when they wander over one, they take sneak damage. 0 star enemies usually die to the damage over time. It becomes even more efficient if you use V+ and the repair all nearby config.

[@chrisjones6002]

It's been a while since I played but I remember seeing a video about portals. IIRC the idea was using them in a way so you don't need a big portal room at your main base. You have one there named "Home" or whatever you like and used it like the blank portal you mentioned in the video, so the blank idea seems better. You have a second portal at your base that you rename to match your destination. I numbered my destination portals and marked them on the map to keep it simple. Then I always carried the materials to build a portal to return if I traveled away from the destination portal.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

absolutely. that is another great strategy

[@CrayZtwin1]

Great vid as always! Note on Sertling farming. You can build a chain of portals to farms I.e. Sertling1 -> sertling2 -> sertling3 -> and so on. The farms feed the core requirement and if you always make the subsequent portal on your last farm, you can simply link another one when you find another flame spout. Also, the abundant cores make for excellent mass firework display with friends !

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

thanks man! good tip!

[@ANameLessTraveledBy]

Best gate tip: You should always keep an unconnected gate at your base (I call mine "return"). Keep a single outbound gate per player to dial out to other gates. This will serve two functions: 1) It allows you to keep a minimum number of gates in your base, only two if solo, while utilizing as many gates as you want in the rest of the world. Your outbound gate is the one you use to dial out to destination gates in the world. 2) If you ever get stranded, or end up running between gates in the world, or need to establish a new gate in your network, you can use the "return" gate. In addition to numbering destination gates on the map, it's useful to put up a sign that you update with the number of total destination gates in your network.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

God tip. I really like the idea of minimizing the portals. They can take a lot of space otherwise

[@360lootgoon3]

Never used braziers for greydwarf farms. I was able to find, tame and breed 2 star wolves before I ever found enough claws to make 5 braziers, plus I needed em for the Fenris armor. Bad luck with frost caves I guess, lol. You don’t *need* 2 star, but they’re better of course. I bring 2 from my main base, set up a small breeding pen near the greydwarf farm (but far enough away to prevent aggro) and then push about 4-5 wolves into the pit. Then just sit back and watch the wolves go to town. The wolves usually aggro to the dwarfs before the dwarfs become aware, getting some sweet sweet sneak attack bonus damage. Either replace the wolves as they eventually die or chuck in some meat to keep em healed up. As for surtling farms, in my adventures I’ve stumbled upon a few really nice swamps, 4 so far, that have anywhere from 4-6 surtling spawners in close proximity to each other. I set up a portal room at the first swamp, then just hop to each location, running the gauntlet and collecting drops as they spawn and perish in shallow water. It’s to the point now where the first set is about ready to respawn as I’m finishing with the last, allowing for a never ending coal/core loop. The biggest limitation is carry capacity, even with the belt I sometimes have to make 2 trips through the same swamp to collect all the drops, but I’ll never run out of coal or surtling cores!

as someone who has had to deal with floating copper, what is the trick to making the entire thing pop? it doesn't just explode like in the video, it just floats there...

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

cooper is the most difficult one as sometimes it goes so deep it penetrates the bedrock and in that case its impossible to isolate the note completely from the ground. But yeah, the key is ensuring not a single piece is touching the ground

[@FizzgigGaming]

The geometry isn't perfect in the game. You can actually create floating structures because of this. Even if nothing is touching, something is close enough to the ground or a tree or something. Chip away the edges or the bottom and it should eventually break. I usually just mine the node itself as in a solo game you usually only need 1-2 nodes before you are getting iron anyways.

[@eXtreamAngel]

As for me, only few tips may be really useful from this list: 1. Prepare Boss Fight arena. 2. Vfyfgt Inventory 3. Use reversed stairs 4. Prepare farms for different rsources. 5. Use marks on the map 6. Use REST buff. All other tips are not that important as tips, that you missed: 1. Build camps on new isles. Every time you explore, first, build a camp with campfire for buffs, and bed for respawn. There is nothing worse, dying on the Isle and be unable to return to your corpse and take your equipment. 2. Register Bed Spawn point when you return to your main base from the sailing. There is nothing worse than dying under Siege Event, and respawning somewhere on the isle without Meadows biome and inability to build simple Raft to return home. 3. Take several Pickaxes. Despite you can't mine Silver with Copper pickaxe, but you can mine dirt with copper pickaxe to save durability of Iron pickaxe to mine Silver. The same works with Copper mines. Use copper pickaxe to mine copper, and basic pickaxe to mine dirt. Despite it deals little damage to copper vien, it deals good with dirt, and you don't have to return home too often to repair it in Forge. 4. Don't get too close to the Plains biome on the ship. There may be small pieces of land above the sea that can spawn Deadly Stingers (forgot the name of flying mosquitos) that can kill you in one shot if you are scouting the map in poor armor. 5. Take few types of Arrows. They are needed in almost every biome. Fire arrow are good for: Forest - GreyDwarfes, Ghosts in Cavesm; Swamps - Ghosts at night, Living Tree (that with 3 or 4 legs); Mountains - WhereWolf Boss in Frost Cave that deals frost damage. Poison arrows are good vs living creatures, and Frost Arrows are good vs Water Wyrm. I would suggest to use Poison Bow and Damage Arrow (that has high damage), Fire arrow and Frost arrow for Wyrms or Big Goblins.

[@esox1799]

The naming if portals can be confusing if you scattering them on the map instead i would recommend my method of namibg them. Name them after the biome you built them in and then add a number denoting of how many of this biom you have visited e.g. swamp1 for the first swamp you visited and so on. If you are building a second portal in one biome you add a number and then raise it so to stress the example of swamp 1 again you will call the second portal there swamp11, the third swamp12 this way your portal designations will be way clearer since the designation/location already tells you where to look instead of searching for a number on the map

Madness that you wouldn't use the pickaxe icon for mining-related resource nodes, but instead dungeons. Madness. Also, I'd recommend not using chests for wood, stone and the like - you can just place 50 in a stack, from under the Misc build menu. Great tip with the inverted stairs for defense!

Personally I always use dedicated chests for base resources. It takes way less space. We once had a lumber yard and we stacked the wood piles 3 high and took up as much room as the main building....we then put it all in a few large chests to make it more manageable. However, once we were able to basically stack stone piles inside of each other so we could have tens of thousands of stone in an extremely small foot print.

Summon your Skelebros in the pit and have them fight the greydwarfs. being a Mistland tier weapon, Greydwarfs are really no match for the Summoned Skelebros especially when you pop a bubble on the skelebros for added protection and blood magic grinding, than you can still yield the loot they drop

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

Very good point

#18. Sleeping through the night is not the best strategy to avoid the night spawns or 2 stars when those spawns have items in them you need for crafting.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

What? it is the perfect strategy to avoid them. If you don't want to avoid them then don't sleep

Im not 100% clear, should i or should i not get my rested buff???

[@heyapoc]

The "a" sound in brazier is a long a sound... A short a sound makes the word mean something else, such as an over the shoulder boulder holder... 🤷‍♂️

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

ya i got it wrong

[@AllTenThousand]

No, you dont want to waste times making resource farms. You find what you need as you play. For example, it takes 3/4 generations - like 10/12 days - to get a big enough boar farm to make a difference. You should already be getting close to getting your leather (you need less of anyway) from swamp tombs by then. I usually have a chest full of extra cores without dealing with sertlings at all, if I get caught in the woods at night I spend it clearing out tombs, come back with 20 at a time. No, you do not want to sleep through the night. Yes for the first couple of nights until you have a real weapon and armor. Once you have troll or copper armor and need a thistle run, you do this at night because you see them easier. Chop down meadow trees at night with that armor level because running into a 2 star boar or deer is a good thing. Even a star troll showing up should be OK with decent armor. Once you get the long boat, you hunt serpants at night. Once you have padded armor and are short on mountain resources, you go at night because 2 star wolves have 4 skins and the packs are bigger, you can get what you need in half a night instead of two days. This is good. Etc. Plus, you should be doing your gardening, cooking, chest stocking and smelting, letting things get done while you sleep an hour, if you have time to sleep at all.

I disagree with you but thats fine

o wow i remember this game from years ago, did it ever get finished?

not quite. They have added new biomes since and updated it a bunch. Only one more biome to be added before 1.0 release

[@angelicdragon9823]

Its better to name your emergency portal SOS1 (or SOSAD where AD is your character initial)or such especiallyon a server so you can connect to it and not have other people's connecting to it

[@yomammasaurusrex9571]

The whole point of the emergency portal is to place it and have it immediately linked back home without needing to tag it

[@angelicdragon9823]

But like I said if you are on a server with others you unnamed home portal will connect to theirs meaning your new portal will go no where

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

I see what you're saying. it could get complicated with multiple players. i think I'd go with something shorter for an emergency. Like, i could be "1" and my buddy could be "2" and so on. To each their own though!

[@angelicdragon9823]

Don't forget you can copy past things so you can have it copyed on your clipboard then control v as you open the hud but I guess that only works for PC players

Does anyone have tips on how to prevent enemies form wandering into a shore base My walls extend into the water a little but enemies just swim in the base

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

you could try spikes maybe? Im actually not sure how to solve this one

[@j_taylor]

As you say, the water is not a barrier to monsters. I build walls facing the water as well. (Actually, in some places like the plains, I build a moat like a maze to attract fulings then I can shoot them to glory while they swim along the maze.)

[@davidstevenson9986]

Don't throw away half the copper in the game. Just dig it up.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

Yes good point

[@Zolaalathaia]

I have a huge problem with the trolls... any pro tipps for that?

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

A few things: 1. They are weak to pierce damage (spears, arrows, atgeirs work best) 2. Further, they are weak in their heads so arrows to the face as an example do more damage than to the body. 3. If you have crafted a bronze atgeir, if you use the secondary spinning attack it staggers the troll which is a good way to beat them. 4. Lastly, use your dodge effectively. When you dodge you are briefly invincible so if you learn the timing of his attacks you can easily dodge them. Hope this helps!

[@ecto8349]

So many people on KZbin pronounce brazier incorrect. They all seem to pronounce it like what a woman wears ("brah-zeer"). The lighting item is pronounced "bray-zhur." I understand the confusion since the spelling is the same. But still, stop lighting your bases with bras lol

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

Its kind of an engagement trick. I do know the correct way to pronounce it (that said, the way i do pronounce it is how it feels natural to me to be fair) and by saying it incorrectly you often increase engagement in videos with folks coming in to correct you. Plus, its kinda funny to mess up the pronunciations :p

Lol what do you need a greydwarf farm for? I already got chest loads of eyes without one haha

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

yep if you have lots you don't need the farm

[@cfateamleader]

The farm isn't for the eyes, it's for an infinite amount of wood/stone/resin. If you're playing on a server with people who greatly enjoy solo building projects, you absolutely need a grey dwarf spawner farm or two.

[@therealbahamut]

I did not realize you could place map icons OFF the map. Also, it makes me so happy to see people properly utilizing trolls. I was pioneering that tech in early Valheim and was baffled by how many people never thought of it or outright rejected it because they wanted that trollhide armor (for...SOME reason, I dunno.) notably, the same techniques can be used on abominations in the swamp, stone golems in the mountains, Loxes in the plains and (I haven't actually tested but I'm fairly sure) seeker soldiers in the mistlands. The VALUE of these others is up for debate but anything that has good reach and some form of AOE slam can knock down trees and break rocks for you.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

Yessir! it can be pretty beneficial. YES all of the big creatures are effectively excavators with their AOE damage. I recently discovered a big iron scrap pile in the Swamp while fighting an abomination. It completely unearthed it for me

I use a two portal system. one going out and a black one for coming home with a wall of signs showing all your destinations. No need for a whole room of portals when with a bit of organizing u can have all the functionality while using only one corner of your house.

Nice yeah, i've heard of that concept. i think I have heard it called something like a 'universal' portal. Something like that.

I built a portal hub on a mistland island. This way i only have one portal at my base and a set of fixed ones aswell as a "flex" portal. This compromise lets me save time on frequently visited spots while still being flexible. Also the mistlands vibe makes it all super eerie and mystical which fits perfectly.
