Hey man, awesome series, really fun to watch! One small tip if you'd allow me: Always take a few medium health potions with you, they don't weight much & will save your skin more often than not. Carrying a couple of stamina potions may be helpful as well as they won't even take a second to cast

[@lushlamma3975]

"so much food! that's disgusting! I LOVE IT!" 8:28 😳wait what? Oh hell no hahahhaha😂😂🤣

[@2ndlittlekingryan654]

Its disgustingly goof

[@Dan-no5fc]

20:13 To my knowledge the tallest kind of tower possible atm is built by raising the ground as much as you can, then planting pine trees on there and once they're grown using the top of their hitbox to start with the wood iron poles that'll take you to the max height. I did one like these, it's quite a piece of work but very rewarding and so much fun to jump off into the water :D So maybe an idea xD Love the game and the way ur covering it - very funny, relatable and honest :D

[@GreedyGabriel]

For anyone wondering whether you should craft the Porcupine or Black metal sword in the late game, both are viable and depends on your prefference: - Porcupine deals mixed damage (half blunt, half pierce) so it's good against most kinds of mobs. - B.M Sword deals the same amount of damage as the porcupine, but it consumes 33% less stamina per swing. TL;DR: Porcupine for versatility, Black Metal Sword for efficiency.

[@MFilppi]

Lol I created 2 extra padded helmets thinking I was upgrading mine yesterday... Glad I'm not the only one

[@tmy8711]

Mace, spear, battle axe, atgier all have a secondary attack that can be activated by clicking your mouse wheel button. Each weapon type has a different secondary attack The atgier has a spin attack that often staggers enemies. This is useful since you can follow up with another attack for "parry damage"

[@jeffreyspinner9213]

With the guck harvesting I always make a tray under each blob because I had to dive bomb too to get the guck... with a "floor tray," easy peasy.

Lox cape for cold resistance :) it looks awesome too!

[@darkling6]

Lox cape>wolf cape

[@wolfboy2406]

nah wolf cape all the way

[@darkling6]

@@wolfboy2406 if you like less defense and durability then sure lol

[@nicodemusbrausebier5378]

@@darkling6 defence is the same if you upgrade both to the max (thats true for ALL capes btw, only the durability differs and in that respect the wolf cape wins [wolf 1600 - lox 1350]). that being said, differences in durabilty dont matter, lets be real: when have you ever had to return to your base to repair a cape? i certainly didnt have to in a couple hundred hours of gameplay, some essential tools will always break looooong before the cape and thus force you to return anyway. so wolf and lox cape are arguably the best capes since they give you frost resistance. upgrading the wolf cape to max will cost you 16 silver, while upgrading the lox cape will require 2 silver. yeah thats not a typo, 16 vs 2. so the only reason really to go for the wolf cape is swag. the thing is tho: the lox cape is the least bugged cape. you know how sometimes capes clip through your shoulders and then dangle in front of you? i have never seen the lox cape do this, while it happens all the time for wolf and linen capes. so even if i in principle found the wolf cape to have more swag than the lox cape (which i personally dont), that would still be undermined by the fact that the wolf cape bugs out all the time... an immersion killer for me at least. my personal conclusion: lox cape aaaaaaall the way, its not even close

[@UnseenIncognito]

Linen cape not giving frost resistance unfortunately makes it pretty useless. Unless ofc. you do not plan to explore the world randomly. It would be nice to either add some color options to the frost resistance capes, or just add frost resistance to the Linen cape (for example by "weaving" a surtling core into it or something)

[@milleniumadam8643]

The Black Metal weapons have their own special attack that either deals massive damage, AoE damage or stun etc. As soon as you put on the black cape, I see Viking Batman

[@FernandoTakeshiSato]

hey man, I think you're also missing the big anvil on your forge! should enable you to upgrade a bit more :)

[@kyleb1958]

In the last episode you sailed past a stonehedge in the plains. it may reveal the location of the next boss

[@loraelstad8941]

In that episode he marked it on his map & people told him in the comments of that video about the possibility of a boss location. He plans to revisit it at some point, but he just had different plans for now since he also ended up losing all his inventory when he fell off the edge of the world. He should go back to the Stonehenge soon 👍🏻.

[@Genin99]

The other forge upgrade you're missing is the Smith's anvil.

[@mastershake1876ify]

[@GrumpyOtter11]

I don't have the time or patience to play this game well even though it's a banger, so I live vicariously through this series. Thank you, good sir.

[@24auhr]

the benefit of missing a couple of days is that i get to binge watch Broadbent tonight ! :) ----lol im still laughing at that edge of world scene ..!

[@jmartinbsu]

A Sailing skill should narrow the "headwinds" area of the wind compass reflecting your ability to steer more into the wind

[@DaemonRayge]

Skipping over the Porcupine? NOOOOO! It is considered the best weapon in the game, alongside the Frostner and Draugr Fang. BTW, note that if a weapon has multiple damage types, you add them all together to get the total damage the weapon deals. So at base, that Porcupine deals the same damage total as the Blackmetal Sword. However, it is split up across two damage types, Blunt and Pierce. In those cases, the enemies resistances against each damage type is calculated separately. So if something was weak to one of the damage type, that portion of the damage would be doubled. Likewise, resistances would halve it. So for example, if you bashed a Skeleton with it, the Blunt damage it deals would be doubled (The weakness), while the Pierce damage it deals would be halved (The resistance). The split damage types makes it super versatile. And also do keep in mind if a weapon has multi-type damage, then it only shows the damage number from whatever dealt the most damage. The rest of it still happened, it is just the game only shows whatever damage did the most.

[@onelansou]

You can dig a shallow canal through the land between your base and the plains so it would be faster to sail. with the black metal ore, it would make a great video digging the canal through the dangers of the swamps

[@DoubleWW]

An idea in terms of going high. I hear putting iron gates inside your stone blocks increases stability significantly

[@cursedsummoner]

4:25 "I'm gonna destroy these two workbenches and get some goblins spaww" Me sitting here thinking, if they do spawn will you use the hoe or the hammer on them?

[@kenneth-benjamingardner4208]

I don't think the ashlands are ready. that's why the plains without grass look like ashlands. that might just be the base texture and they add layers on top.

[@ridiculouslycoolguy]

[@wilddesigns857]

As he murders the boars, "ooh, that has really nice range!" LMFAO!

[@mastershake1876ify]

One thing to keep in mind for you plan to raise the ground and expand the island. Raising ground is the most expensive and lag causing thing you can do and once you do it you can't undo it.

[@TheJunnutin]

You can use polearms (secondary attack) to quickly cut down a bunch of flax or barley. Doesn't work with carrots or turnips

[@kaladin783]

I’m grateful for your sacrifice broad, you saved me a potential world of pain

[@connorskeggs242]

I hope you keep this series going man, so good

[@arkylady]

Love this series!! I could watch at least an hour of this a day easily :)

[@loraelstad8941]

Glad to see you’re bouncing back after the inventory loss. Character is looking good. I saw that you are gonna make the Lox Cape soon. I do like the look of the black linen cape. So, maybe you could wear it until you sojourn to the the mountains for any reason & then switch out for the cold resistance. I would love to eventually see armor sets displayed, as well as weapons at one of your bases. I would love more furniture to be put into the game, too. It will be great to see you cover any significant updates that come up.

[@mickenoss]

That green island you crashed into was the turtle, you can mine the barnacles.

[@loraelstad8941]

He knows. He’s mined several of them in previous episodes. He only crashed because he wasn’t expecting there to be anything in that particular stretch of ocean & he wasn’t paying attention. He might even have mined this one, but he edits out a LOT. 😁

[@olas16k]

I'm so glad i'm not the only person who's accidently made another set of armor whilst trying to upgrade my current set

Same here 😆😆.

[@marinalexandru134]

Porcupine all the way :) I love the sword but Porcupine is on another level, also I think your skill with blunt weapons is higher? Love the vids, keep them coming. Try taking on a Lox with Porcupine and Black Metal Shield, 2 parries and 2 heavy hits and its done ( after the initial stealth bow shot ofc ).

[@wolfboy2406]

A really cool idea with the Ashlands would be if the developers added a lava type of boss kind of like in Terraria, this game has so much potential!

[@UnseenIncognito]

It WAS stated that they consider adding random world bosses so ... here's hoping some big lava giant roaming the ashlands.

[@hgiudful]

I agree. Sailing should be a skill

[@nikephoros9297]

Love the gameplay, built the breeder myself as soon as i saw the tutorial. If you want better food, you should bake your flour into Blood Pudding, Fish Wraps or Lox Meat Pie, as they give better stats and take less flour. The fish you can probably get from your island

[@idlan5472]

17:36 lox cape look way more better because it has some cool texture . btw linen cape doesnt have frost resist

Wolf cape looks coolest to me

[@johnwilkerson1511]

I am so jealous of how organized you are.

[@tisema17]

The first death where he can’t recover his gear. I like that the game is forgiving like that. The vast majority of the time the only thing you lose when you die is some skills.

[@2ndlittlekingryan654]

Welcome

[@tonyh8166]

Carry healing potions for emergencies. Also, a hack- the poison effect is a buff. When you log out you lose all your buffs... So if youre going to die from poison you can log out and log back in to strip the poison off you. Losing blackmetal in the grass- it is an issue, BUT it glows green, and it shows up extremely well at night, regardless of grass...

[@MiquelUlin]

Awesome rebuild of the armor man ! even better. Also with the breeder, yes, 1 star boars are also more then enough, will have to remove the carrots aswell. Your design works flauwless man. But i built myself a big stone base around it for cold winds, them dragons are boar lovers !!

[@EdgeOfFate]

I was victim to the "world breaker" bug at about 100hrs in starting from scratch sucks-- but you handled it like a champ well done!

[@zarakikon6352]

I also wanted to suggest you make the Porcupine and Frostner 1h maces. They're both pretty good against Fulings + Loxes. And Frostner works on something else pretty good too 😉😏👍.

[@BobMerlinx]

I know I'm one episode behind, but I just want to recommend the Porcupine - it's an amazing mace, and works great for lox, fulings, berserkers, trolls, blobs, skeletons... well, everything, really. Just get it. (Also, it's shiny!)

[@NoClipsForMe]

You should use the wheat to make fish wraps instead of bread, its a much better food and takes less wheat to make only downside is you have to fish

[@tyguy8971]

12:05 Yes sailing skill is a great idea

[@gremlin60]

i want them to add so we can dive down and pick up things that sink

[@loraelstad8941]

That is especially true for Sea Serpents, as only some things they drop float, like the meat. But other items sink & you can’t get to them if you kill it in the middle of the ocean 🌊. I know the trick of harpooning them and dragging far into land or small river far upstream & then killing them to collect everything. But, it is a lot of work and trouble to do that.

[@gremlin60]

@@loraelstad8941 yea and think if they make it so you can dig tunnels and the mountain dont collaps like it do now. so u can make caves and stuff

[@TruthTealler]

[@connbreezy6156]

I would suggest equipping yourself with a Lox Cape instead of the linen so that you can be frost resistant. Linen is cool that you can pick your style, but the lox cape looks pretty sick and it's utility is for sure worth

[@glep3570]

I lost so many boats due to that bug, that I just started destroying them every time I landed.

[@solfridschillplace]

I really love watching your videos, and I will for sure not sail to the end of the world 😁. Felt so sry for you loosing all your stuff tho, but you dealt with it as a man 😉

[@williamjordan811]

You ran into a Leviathan, That green island you crashed into was the giant turtle, you can mine the barnacles. But do it fast, it will start sink after you start mining. That gives you a material, that will give You A Harpoon that allows you to drag Sea Serpents into shore. That Will allow You To harvest their scales and meat. The Scales make a Really Great looking Shield.

[@loraelstad8941]

I think you probably missed some previous episodes. He has mined several of those already. I think the crash & surprise was only because he wasn’t paying attention while sailing because he didn’t expect anything to be in the way in that strip of ocean. He could’ve even mined this one, but we wouldn’t see because he edits a lot and cuts things out.

Upgrade your cape for 100 armor total. But you should make Lox or Wolf as they both give cold resistance that you lost when upgrading from the wolf armor.

The lox cape is the better looking, imo. It has less durability than the linen cape, but it does protect you against freezing.

Red cape looks really good with padded armor imo

[@peterkalafus9514]

- capes don't provide much armor so unless maxed linen cape gives you some special buff you may be better off using Lux cape or Wolf cape since they also provide frost resistance (you never know when you wander into a cold biome while exploring)

Running out of mats, stopping to get more, then creating a second of something instead of upgrading the first-I've done that. It sucks, especially if you're low on mats.

*nods* For building high, iron beams are best. You can hide them inside stone blocks if you like, and the support goes far, far higher than wood beams. Unintuitively, just iron beams lets you build higher than iron beams on top of a stone base. I feel for ya losing stuff over the edge.
