Any teamwork driven CMDRs in Valheim?

I've come to the conclusion that not repairing ruins too much, and building around the ground/topology reaps rewards with 'not another box' being (often) the result:

Built my first stoneish building. Isn't great. I'm a crap designer. Also forgot how mucha work this is. I'm using a seasoned character AND his gear though. But getting to a forge that can repair that gear alone was quite a job.
What we do for fish, eh? Tssk, they're like women. I picked a spot with black forest nearby and a small swamp biome right across little laguna. Imagine all the juicy fish potential. The forest has little river too and a nice little island spot for fishing not too far away.
Next is building the kitchen so I can have foods again. Maybe venture to swamp for iron, grab barley from other world.
Also interested to find one of these frost caves.
Found one in forest with stone blockage - that's a new one. I had to pickaxe through. Doing very rough mining in the forest - not the diligent style I used in old worlds. Strip it - ship it. Next.
I could grab iron from old world, but bronze I actually used basically up. Then I need some chains and I guess it's when it's crypt time again. Swamp looks promising though up north. Juicy biome with fruity veins of everything, not seen surtlings though yet.
Then plains again. I need some stuff from their villages. Flax? And mucho barley.

And then I can enjoy them finally. Fish wraps. OMG.

Just in case you aren't aware - you can only grow plant barley and flax in the plains biome, so you gotta have at least a small farm there.

The mountains seem way more relaxed to reach, traverse and spawn wolves. One eve out and I got like 8 of them. Amazing. I think I just do Shashlik skewers and not sausages anymore. Onion soup - not so great. I might look out for frost drakes maybe. It seems the bottleneck for eyescream.
 
I think I make it just provisional residence, install a mod to telepot metals and go sightseeing for THE place to build.

In my experience, for a base, the best place to build is basically anywhere there are not trolls! Made the mistake of building a main base in troll land and it was just an exercise in frustration.

I recommend Meadows and from there build also a portal hub which takes you to all your resource gathering places and at those locations have mini bases only.

Yes, but I want a nice place. Where I can get up and sing wonderful world before slaying innocent creatures. And I alway build too small. I go "hohoho, dis gonna get big!" and then I have trouble fitting the stuff. Old house was quite efficient in space. All in one storage and crafting. Storage was constantly a juggling so I wanted to build shed for that. But the smelters dont fit in me house proper...
 
But I also want awesome place with thunderstorms, storms and high waves, evil spirits in the night. And thus I considered swamp treehouse. T'is a bit gloopy and not really stormy there. Then mountains. I like them in RL too. Love the hiking. Maybe if it was a smooth moiuntain, but then there might be golems and they would be even worse than trolls. Lox is bad, too. The day I died to wolf hunt I camped a fuling tower with Lox running rampant below. I did so because 2 Squitos decided to join in, don't ask. When I got down the Loxic activity had quite removed the bottom of the tower. Din't inspect because "You are being hunted" and I went full gagack-chicken mode. So I end up mostly at the meadows. It is new map though and I get no attack events, right? Only the ambient spawns.

In Minecraft I would build base with underwater living room. The view wasn't that great but come on, what is more creepy than underwater habitat? Hostile exterior, fragile shell and maybe monsters from abyss. I never played Subnautica but I imagine it as extremely scary and creepy game. The proper scare and creep, not the shocker that work with disgust and gore.
And then the sound - you only hear yourself mostly. Alien Isolation nailed it quite, too. Amanda was a very believable character.
 
Well, you could also use console to give yourself what you need... if you feel bad about that, just destroy the ore before you teleport and gift yourself what you destroyed on the other side.
:unsure:
On the topic of destroying - my old base has moat where greylings and raids keep falling in. It is full with junk. How do you destroy stuff? It never seems to despawn (around 160 day base)

Here's your answer:

FireSpawn81 on YouTube does a good bit of experimentation with item despawning.
It takes about 2 ingame days for loose items to despawn..... but there are certain conditions that'll prevent them from despawning.
He found that items won't ever despawn if they are in range of a campfire (what looks to be about within 4 foundation lengths away).
He also found that items won't ever despawn if they are within the build radius of a workbench.
I've dug trash holes that I use to toss junk items into but I did that before I knew about the workbench radius stopping despawns so my trash bin kept building up because I had it too close to my house.

What insanity is this? Throwing stuff away? Junk? JUNK? My little pack rat heart bleeds. I implore you to keep it all, just build more chests to store it, sort it, categorize it. Just, please, don't throw stuff away, mkay? You might need it some day. o_O
 
If you've collected too much junk then, after defeating The Elder, head to Haldor to buy the Thunder Stone for 50 coins. With this you can build build an obliterator. This device turns any spare 'bits and bobs' into (almost always) coal. In my case I usually have a very comfortable excess of resin and bones.

NB: build it a little bit away from anything critical, as every time it's used it does damage to the surrounding area. It's not that bad, just a bit irritating.
