    More land Transporation

    Did vikings ever dogsled? Because that's what a 'thinner mountain cart' sounds like to me, and we've already got the wolves handy.

    More land Transporation

    If memory serves you can hitch yourself to a cart then mount a lox to pull it, but you don't have to. You can badly overload yourself on weight - like by 1000 pounds or more - then mount and ride a lox. It will still move normally because you're overburdened, not the Lox. I did a few long...

    Make it possible to choose that a valheim world is up even if the creator of the world is not playing the game.

    You can! You can do that now, but one of you will have to install the server version of the game, so it's not just a checkbox in the options you can pick. It's the same save files though, so it's easy enough to move the game over to the server side. Watch out for power save settings though...

    Patch 0.217.6 (Public Test)

    Any update on this one? Usually test realm stuff goes live in about a week - did y'all run into challenges or vacations? (I hope it's vacations :D)

    A consolidated workbench to repair everything

    Yeah, it is a bit excessive. The Black Forge Cooler upgrade for the Black Forge should allow repairs to items from the regular forge. The cooler already requires Copper, so you have the same restrictions on being able to portal a repair table to a new location. Alternately, a black marble...

    Tiredness debuff

    That kind of exists already, but opposite of what you're suggesting. The Rested buff is pretty good for stamina and HP recovery, so when that expires and you lose the buff, that isn't too different from a tired/not-rested debuff

    Troll hide as a reagent for roofing material (vote up)

    Seriously tho, we need more stuff to do with troll hide

    Troll hide as a reagent for roofing material (vote up)

    60-degree roof tiles. TrollHOP.

    New cultivator function: harvest

    Wielding the Cultivator should allow easier crop harvesting: add new collection mode that pulls up all crops from the ground in it's circle like you'd pressed E for everything in the circle. The same size as the crass/cultivate radius would work well.

    Draugr ghost ships

    I like it

    Character dead after internet loss, no death marker or loot box

    It happened to me a lot last year before I was able to replace my video card. For anyone having crashing problems, it's easy to safeguard items after an inventory transfer - just quickly log out and back in to save your inventory. Here's the pattern I saw. The items entering/leaving world...

    Character dead after internet loss, no death marker or loot box

    Yes. Sort of, anyway. The game doesn't handle inventory well with sudden-death exits from a non-local server hosted game, like your power failure or a computer lockup. Had you recently died and reclaimed your items from your corpse when the power went out? I don't think theres a way to undo...

    One Year of Valheim – More Adventures Await!

    Happy birthday!

    Spear and Atgeir Skills should be combined

    Definitely. Spears need some love, just in general. I was hoping they'd be the best answer for fighting the Growths in the plains - one handed ranged attack, with a shield to protect against their ranged attacks - but they aren't. The atgeir has a long forward attack that is a great match for...

    Beehives should buff nearby crop growth

    Since the Hearthenham changes to food, beehives and honey seem unbalanced to me. In the before-foods, Honey retained its usefulness later into the game because of it's higher healing factor, even if it provided fewer max hit points than 'better' foods. It's less interesting now, since it seems...

    Frustrations Docking a Longboat

    The boat is definitely a bit clumsy. There's an easy solution, although it breaks immersion a bit - just get the ship gliding towards where you want to be, exit the controls, and when you're in the right spot JUMP OUT. The ships will only drift while you're in them, so the moment you get out...

    Cooking ... Coal:

    You're doing it right, but have to take it off sooner - boar/neck/deer meat will cook in about 20 seconds. You'll hear a sizzle and see it change color to brown when its ready. If you leave it on much longer it turns to coal. (Fancy meat like Lox or Serpent takes longer as well)

    Sailing is awful

    You can do that. Drop your speed down to the lowest setting, which stows your sails and rows at low speed. The Sail indicator will change to an Oar and you'll keep moving slowly even heading up wind. If you have more room to maneuver it's usually faster to tack back and forth going up wind...

    Way too much damage.

    Hi Tobbins - I understand where you're coming from on those challenges, and I agreed with you on each point for a while - but have since found strategies and tactics in the game to make all of those enemies into a much more manageable threat. They've done a great job of letting you combine an...

    Passive Fish Traps

    sstella - Your version sounds infinitely more reasonable and practical. But pointless digital lobster combat would make my life objectively better, y'know, somehow. So I'm in favor.
