VALHEIM - 100% AFK AND SAFE MOB FARM - BUILD TUTORIAL - INFINITE SURTLING CORES AND COAL!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Hey guys, in this video we'll be building and showcasing a super efficient and 100% AFK mob farm in Valheim to gather unlimited amounts of both coal and surtling cores; all while being able to AFK as long as you'd like without the worry of dying. Valheim (PC) is a massive open world survival game on Steam with so many interesting systems to take advantage of. I enjoy creating super efficient and time saving builds in Valheim as well as other sandbox games, so I decided to learn how to create and edit videos to show you guys how you can do the same. If you find this to be cool or useful in your Valheim world, show this video some love and I'll continue making time-saving content for you!
Skål!
This is NOT click bait. Straight and to the point, covering all the details in a very timely manor. Thanks for this.
Much love
I needed all those cores :D It's completely afk, so you can let them accumulate while doing other things or sleeping. :P
I want to treat teleporters like elevators so yesh, I Need the cores lol
I think you might lowkey be the best Valheim youtuber out there right now.
Jeez haha that's a massive compliment, I'm just happy to be here sharing my findings with all of you.
@@MrRums He might be right - but you need to get a better microphone. ;)
He has 3 videos, chill. The wood video is extremely useful, the ore metal one is overcomplicated and not true farm and this which is also overbuilt. Just lowering the ground around the spawn will do the trick. It's not like the surtlings will run away from the spawn area. I appreciate his effort tho
@@carctct6435 I get excited for good content, especially when it doesn't follow annoying streamer/youtube trends, and especially if it's from someone up and coming lol.
You kinda do need to have the walls up if you want to afk though.
I can verify, this just simply WORKS! Ive got more cores than I'll probably ever use, thanks for putting this out there!
Thank you Gamerz!! You're the man. I'm stoked to hear that :D
I just dig out the ground around and fire and every couple of days I’ll Teleport back to the swamps and pick up all the drops:)
That won't work. If you were far enough away to make a teleport worth using the farm will despawn so nothing will happen. Valheim only runs stuff in the area around where your character is.
@@partcyborg Maybe I always have drops there then , cuz I am always mining the scrap piles in the swamp. Idk. I just know I always have a lot of coal and cores to pick up:)
@@partcyborg -- but beehives, kilns. smelters. planted seeds all continue. Just not creature spawn?
@@TnavresGaming they actually don't, they just keep track of the time passed so when you check them they automatically update
@@partcyborg Any idea on what the range is? I have a swamp with 4 surtling spawns relatively close in a line, if i build a base in the middle will they all spawn?
I was watching a valheim vid from some youtuber who had like 230k subscribers. I just wanted to know if there were any tricks to fishing, and this fool had like a 45 minute stream as his vid. Super annoying commentary, clearly over-exaggerated excitement and forced quips. Totally obnoxious and a waste of time, no idea why people tag along with streamers like that. Your vids are exactly what I want, and I'm not alone. I hope you go far man.
@ToxicBox Gaming Are you daft? This is straightforward and to the point while also showing all necessary nuance. He shows how to build the basic concept in the first half, then a more elaborate version in the second half. It's 0% bullshit while also not skipping over any details. And good for you that you extrapolated the necessary information in 3 minutes, good luck doing the same in half that time with most other content creator vids.
@ToxicBox Gaming Lmao... So you prove him correct the video is straight to the point smartass... The rest is for people who want more details on how to set things up like he did. You should have watched your 3 seconds and bounce with the hating.
Much love to all you guys
Thanks Aaron, I know the feeling haha. I'm literally just here to share things I think the community may find useful :P
Thanks for the backup Iso
TL;DR version: surtlings die when exposed to water = profit
Mega profit :P
Nicely detailed content, I was in two minds about going to the effort of making one of these because an imperfect execution can be fatal but the detail you gave was invaluable (especially showing the leech kill). I expected it to be too long but there were only a few superfluous bits (I think you made the 3x3 point too often).
The tip about using trophies for torches is great - I aim to use them to light up signs, paths in the wilderness etc. I'm not too worried about unlimited cores and coal but unlimited everburing torches... count me in!
After I posted it I realized just how hard I tried to drive that point across, but an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure or something like that, right? :P Thank you though man! I'm still getting used to making videos haha.
I was contemplating something like this, but you took it so much further then I was even thinking about, super nice and great format for delivery of such content.
Thank you Raio, it means a ton :D
Your videos are still a bit more advanced than I am currently but I love the content. I just reached the bronze age and I'm going to make your tree farm eventually.
I'm stoked to hear that Brandon! I hope my videos helped you along your journey regardless :D
Hahaha the game is pretty big man!
I've learned to always raised the ground first to see which way it orientated before placing down building material.
Hahaha that's a good thing to keep in mind friend :P
Aw hell yeah was just thinking about figuring out mob farms. Relieved to see someone has already figured some of it out lol
Hahaha yeah man but there's still a ton to figure out ;)
Im so excited to see you make an automated food farming like decent food
I've yet to make a food farm video, but I have a wicked farm in my world that I may make a video of!
I love this content. Keep the bad mic rolling.
Hahaha it won't be long until I can trash that microphone. Maybe i'll make a tutorial on how to melt your microphone into reusable plastics.
I have zero complaints about audio
This is brilliantly built. Thanks for the 3x3 tip didnt know that was the spawn radius
Haha i'm glad I could help man! Cheers!
this looks better than what I did. I just leveled the swamp "island" with the spawner underneath water.
Then put a portal in an indestructible tree nearby. Not tested properly during night time yet, so wraiths might be able to spot me and attack.
Yours look a lot better.
That's a really good idea Gizmo! It may even work better than mine, this was made back when Valheim was still new :)
I dunno if i missed it or not, but apparently items will despawn if not near a work bench. I saw a guy add 4 work benches in a circle around the spawner. The edges of the bench radius covered the ground where items drop, but no bench circle covered the center of the spawner.
Will de spawn after a couple of days. Depending on how often you visit this spot you might need a workbench. Items inside the building radius won't despawn so 1 well placed bench should be enough.
@@carctct6435 but enemies dont spawn within the radius, which is the point of using 4
So from my observations, the amount of items that have to spawn for anything to happen is around 10-20k. This could be dependent on your settings, but this is what I experienced personally. Even more interesting though, is that while experimenting with this I noticed that instead of items de-spawning - they actually started to consolidate their stacks with nearby items of the same type. Really interesting stuff. I don't have a video showcasing this, but you can see it in action a few times during my mega tree farm build. Pretty interesting stuff.
This is sick dude 👍 I’ll definitely be making this in my world
got my sub! I love finding these smaller channels, especially when its such good content. Keep uploading bro!
Thanks V smart, you're the man!! I'm keepin at it :D
don't change too much. I like your content the way it is.
I appreciate that Gabe
very cool video, and very informative, one of the best valheim youtubers out there at the moment, a tipp: if you cant get a mic that sounds better/ less noisy(?) try using Audacity, its a free program in wich you can enhance your audio quality and remove the "hissing" noise that way people will be able to hear you wayyy better :) but either way great video and great farm!
You're awesome, I appreciate the kind words more than you know. I've upgraded my equipment a bit since then and finally started using a mixer, so my newer stuff SHOULDN'T be as bad ;)
Excited to watch this channel grow bro!
Much love Hamdan :D
I'm going to try this today. I will orient myself North and place the tip of the corner of a 1x1 tile just touching the geyser to aid in centering the 3x3 area. Wish me luck!
Good Luck my friend! How did it go may I ask?!
im so happy i found ur channel. love all ur vids. i never like videos but i liked all 3. please never stop uploading. such amazing ideas
Thanks Stix, I'm just getting started :)
The dugout base is really cool! I always wanted to make something like that and use stone floors as roofs.
Thanks Stryder! :D
Great content again mate, you were only on 9 subs when I last commented, keep it up and you’ll get the numbers your channel deserves
Hahaha thanks Edward! It means a lot man, slowly getting there :D
Great content, thanks! I also enjoy listening to your voice, can't wait till you get your new mic :)
Hahaha Thank you Royal! You're the man
LOVE IT , THANK YOU!!!! I just went to my first swamp and its perfect spot for this as entrance is very calm, I did mess up though because I had a draugr spawner in a half built circle castel I could of used right across the way ....lol but either way now I have a easy safe way to get the surtling cores I so need right now !. :D
Nunya!! You're Awesome! I'm glad this video was able to help you along your journey :)
Oh yeah, bro. A drauger spawn farm would be sick!
Gotta figure that one out.
Works a treat. Great job 👌
Awesome Mac!! Thanks a ton :D
I like it, the main problem though is that the items will despawn without a workbench. It's a really hard issue to overcome too because with a workbench, the surtlings just don't spawn. Maybe there's a way to spawn the surtlings outside of a workbench zone but kill them in one so the drops don't despawn? Idk though. What I've done is just set up as many little cheap pits as I can around the swamp so that I can just take a lap every time I need to smelt to get a few stacks of coal. I will say this design is great though if you're at your PC maybe watching RUclips or something so that you can collect the drops every time the surtlings spawn
@@Trailerprktrash won't work because the surtlings are dying where they're spawning you can't both have a workbench and not have a workbench over that spot at the same time
@@Trailerprktrash I don't think so... they spawn in the water and they die and their drops land where they spawned. If that's in workbench range, then no spawns. Outside of workbench range and drops despawn
@@Trailerprktrash they have to aggro on you to run. In this particular setup they can't aggro because they are surrounded by the walls. They may still run but it's random and you'll still lose a sizable portion of the drops if they were to run to the center or not into the workbench range. They also die instantly a lot of the time and those drops are lost too
I understand the issue Sa, but Trailers idea should work! You gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelette ;)
Hey man, just subbed. Can’t turn on notifications because content is set for kids my dude
Fixed
This was good. Very informative. I did something similar to my Surtling farm but I like how you play with the different designs.
Yeah man that's the best part about these sandbox games :)
Just watched your gravity assisted tree farm video and you commented about your mic. If you want to remove the hiss, try using the de-esser in audacity if you haven’t already. It’s an extra step in editing, but the software is free and easy to use. Great content by the way! Keep it coming, jank mic or not!
Hey thank you Keith! I appreciate the tips and the love :)
If people want an easier way to do this all you have to do is just dig around the flame geyser so it is shallow water. Then anytime you are in the area the surtlings spawn and die and you just walk passed and grab the stuff.
if you have a lot of smelters to feed you can set up a chain of portals, starting from your smelters just hop from one dug out spawner to the next, to the next, etc. then the last portal in the loop takes you back to your smelters. Wood walkways make it even faster as you're not worried about swamp terrain. It's good to do coal runs at night so you can hunt wraiths for chains at the same time.
Ayee but it's not really safe and AFK :*(
@@MrRums Since posting that I found a spot with 6 spawners all grouped together, it's drops as much coal as I can carry every time I visit, and I can AFK elsewhere while the surtling spawn timer ticks over, not that I AFK tho - by the time I'm done smelting after a coal run, it's is ready to go again. :)
Awesome build, bro!
Much love Micheal!
You can link multiple coal farms with portals and just go around collecting coal and surtling farms. The portals just need to be far enough away from the geysers.
For sure man!
I like how you are doing a great job at the step by step tutorial until 6:50 then you just abandon the tutorial and skip ahead. Thanks
That was the end of the build my friend!
Thanks man. A very well detailed guide !
Much love Reda!
Thanks for excellent advice. Never replace your microphone. It adds authencity 🙂
Hahaha thank you Viktor, you're the man!
Love the idea, bro! I won't lie, I had the same idea myself but didn't go ahead with it. This has totally changed my mind!
Do you know if having a nearby portal will prevent spawns? Sorry if I missed that.
EDIT: Just seen your comment further down the page - for those wondering:
"Mr. Rums
I needed all those cores :D It's completely afk, so you can let them accumulate while doing other things or sleeping. :P"
Hahaha it's definitely worth it! So a portal will stop spawns if it's within roughly 22 meters from the spawn itself. So use a wall piece or a 2m core log to figure out how far away you can set your portal up :)
this is a lot of work. I just dig out the ground around the spawn and when they do spawn they are in water and explode. no walls, etc. I normally create a tree house to afk and works great.
good vid though.
Thanks man :)
I just dug the fire so it was in water, I got teleporter near by, every time i teleport the surtlings spawn and die to water
You can just pickaxe everything until you reach water, build a 2x2 shack close by and afk in there. This is so much more work.
dude, i agree, this was way more work than he needed to put into this.
@@gary0044187 But this version actually looks good :)
This isn't something you guys have to do, this is something you can do :P This is actually 100% safe, no mobs can hit you or even detect your presence in the dugout :)
Référencement,
Great job
Thanks Cedric!
Nice I will try this later
Thanks Nary! I hope you became rich in cores :D
you can use dungeon mushrooms for light till you get the surfling trophies, they might even be better light.
Can you actually replant them or put them on item stands?!
@@MrRums You can put them on Item Stands :)
you can upscale this by lowering an island in the ashlands just below the water table btw.
That's a sweet idea :O
Tipp: The edges are always perfekt exactly north, east, south and west
Ayeee good eye!
If you had aligned your floor grid to North South orientation, your stone wall may have had smooth sides from the beginning.
Yes, I always raise ground first to see how it orientates.
Ayeee very good tip!
I wonder if you dig your dugout house close enough to the inside 3X3 area fire , slap down a bed will it level up your comfort? If so a nice quick level spot as well? I am gonna try it thanks again! :D
Thanks Nunya! I don't think you can have a bed close by, but my memory may be failing me on that one. :P I know certain items like portals and hearths will stop the spawns. They can be temperamental sometimes lol.
Could you do a guide for a greydwarf spawner farm, as you could ask for wood and stone there
I had a super sick video all ready to go for greydwarfs, it was probably my best video haha. The morning I was to post it, the method got patched :( But maybe i'll cover a sweet greydwarf farm once they give us some more toys to work with :D
If there is anyway you can, you should try to start uploading in 1080p. Just a recommendation. All love.
For sure brother that's the goal! :D
Much love man, I genuinely appreciate corrective criticism and all that jazz cos' i'm a newbie and I own it
@@MrRums Always bro, I love seeing people improve💜
it also works to sail to the ashlands, plant a portal and collect a ton of coal and cores that way
I'll be adding this feature next time I log in! Do portals effect the spawn points? Thanks! Looking forward to more content!
Let me know how it goes!! Yes portals absolutely will stop the spawn, but you can just destroy your portal when you want the farm to start and rebuild it when you intend to leave. Alternatively you can just build a treehouse above 22-26m to house your portal and bed :D
Yes but spawns still happen if you can edge the portal 20-30 meters away or 10-15 floor tiles.... now i wonder if the other spawners act the same Building a Greydwarf/Draugr/Skeleton Arena might be fun still have no clue how to kill them AFK this way though as sharp stakes will take damage while damaging them.
@@snintendog try getting a little creative with how you place your fires ;)
Good stuff man!
Thanks Michael! I appreciate you :D
or all you have to do is take away the dirt so its just water around the flame, the Surtling will spawn and die to the water,.....way ez'er then buildin walls
Your character would probably perish in a few minutes though :P This way is safe and truly afk :)
I always dug around the geiser until there was water in the 3x3 area, and I always found tons of coal and surtlings without the need to do all this
@@anrojoo he tends to overcomplicate his builds.
@@anrojoo thanks for that, works great
The moment you take safety for granted in a survival game, is your last moment before a corpse run.
Pretty inventive. You should call yourself....... Macgeyser🙃
Hahaha I rofl'd :)
Much love El
@@MrRums haha thx for the heart my man. Glad I could make you smile😀
Very cool video. Good work thank you
Thanks a ton Nick :D
Nice build.
Thanks Articulate :D
Did you do testing as to what the closest distance is that a portal can be placed without disrupting the spawns?
Nevermind, I found the answer in another comment! Epic content dude. Please continue!
Awesome man, yepp it's about 22ms from the farm itself! Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner!
Find spot in Swamp with 2 or 3 surtling spawners nearby and a spot with a good number of large trees.
Mine the ground out around the spawner, water kills surtling.
Build tree house base in those big trees with portal.
Profit.
Dont need a 15 minute video for that lol
It's not about what we need to do, it's about what we can do ;)
This is so smart! I just got to the swamp biome. I'll definitely be doing this. Can you have a portal near this, or will that prevent the surtlings from spawning?
Unfortunately you'll need to take down your portal/have a portal at a distance to allow their spawn! But you're refunded all your materials so it's easy to just rebuild/reconnect your portal after you're done farming :D
Mr. Rums do you know the distance? Is is it same as workbench circle or is it more?
very great content
Much love Valentin :D
Why not make the starting floor 'tile' out of FOUR of the smaller floor tiles. This should always center the flame in the center floor area.
That's a great idea!
Clutch!
Much love Tracey :)
GIVE US ANOTHER VIDEO!! I want to be more efficient! Maybe some build ideas?
Hahaha I have some cool build ideas i'll consider posting :)
im having a problem with these farms. i placed bench while i was making the farm. but when i remove the bench they dont spawn, i have 3 gayzers really close to each other, but only one is working. could the weater be to deep or whats the problem? they dont spawn without walls or anythin after tearing all down
I wish I could give you a correct answer brother, but I'm sure they patched a bunch of stuff since I last played. Maybe do some research on core farms and see if there's an updated build if this isn't working?
Bloody awesome mate.
Jah Bless
@@MrRums and who Jah bless no man can curse.
Instead of the tedium of finessing raised ground as walls, couldn't we just build stone walls?
I think stone walls can destroyed, the raised ground cannot.. not 100% sure tho
@@chiller49 I considered that, but terraforming the land like that can cause some significant lag for some. And though the walls can be damaged, or even destroyed, you can whip out a stonecutter and repair them, then break it down and put the mats in a chest. Plus using walls is about 2000 times easier than the tedium of raising the earth as OP has done. Overall a very effective way to collect cores and coal though.
Yeahh unfortunately the stone walls are able to be destroyed :(
That's correct chiller
Thanks Nick, I don't think the lag from terraforming really comes into play unless it's on a huge scale but I'm only speaking from my personal experience.
thats funny as hell. i first thought this would be a cheese method but in my eyes its totally legit. but what do you need so many cores for other then portals?
Hahaha I don't think I should go public with what I do with my cores :P I appreciate that though man!
Another Great Video!
Thanks so much Shann :D
Does anyone know if Portals prevent Surtlings from spawning? I'd like to be able to reach my afk farm quickly without much extra travel.
Yeah man the portals will have be roughly 22m away from the farm itself for it to work! I suggest throwing a portal up in a treehouse ~22m above the spawner.
great vids dude
Thanks Vince
Terrific idea!
Thank you Alan ! :D
i know items supposedly dont despawn in the area of a workbench, do items also not despawn when around the player and is that why you can afk this farm or is it better to go and collect stuff often? also can you just stand down there in the 3x3 area or do the surtlings actually manage to damage you before dying?
They might throw out a rogue fireball at you before they die, but the wraiths are what you really need to worry about if you're not protected haha.
I'm not 100% on the workbench, I mostly stayed in my dugout while Afking the farm for a few hours at a time. Also items seem to consolidate when the game loads ~10-20,000 unique instances or "items" rather than disappear all together so I think the disappearing thing was either a bug or misinterpretation. Don't quote me though, just my observation ^.^
Way over the top. Just build a mote (water will kill them) and a nearby tree house or building and profit.
Hey man you don't have to do it this way
Does a teleported in your afk pit screw it up?
Great idea!
Thank you Kitty!!
Can Surtlings damage Cage Walls and Iron Gates or are they immune to Surtlings damage?
Back then the surtlings could damage things in their close proximity iirc, but it may have changed by now!
nice!
Thanks Madthorn :D
GREAT DETAIL
Thanks Andreas! Much love man
Do portals prevent mobs from spawning, too? Because if not that would be both an easy means of getting in and out of the farm as well as a fairly strong light source that doesn't require trophy RNG.
Yesss portals were stopping my spawns unless they were around ~22m from the farm itself.
Do you have to be present for them to spawn?
would this work with stone walls instead of raising the ground?
Unfortunately the stone walls can get damaged by mobs, so that's why I opt for the terrain walls :)
i have a swamp with 11 of these spawns, 3 of wich are very close together so i can just stand in the middle for an hours for alooot of stacks ez
great vid :D
Thanks Ben
would your stone/iron gate enclosure protect against wraiths and jumping slimes AOE cloud?
Also if I did this over night would the items despawn or as long as they stay rendered they last and I can pick them all up in the morning?
So from all my testing with wraiths and jumping slimes around me loads, i've yet to have them even acknowledge my presence while I was inside my dugout. The Iron gates don't protect you by themselves, but being surrounded by terrain walls does ;) The item limit in the world is also pretty high, so unless you have loads of items all around your seed you won't need to worry about despawns!
@@MrRums thanks for clarification!
@@MrRums if worse comes to worse there is also a clean up lone items in the commands too.
Have you noticed at any point during your afk session where items de spawn or make your game lag? I did something similar but found two fire pillars beside eachother when I say beside, I mean in spawning distance of each other. and after say an hour there were so many drops in the two spots the game might have started despawning the excess drops. I know there's a video out explaining it but I'm curious if you have any guesses?
Hmm I haven't noticed the lag personally, but I know the game starts throttling and combining stacks of items when it's instance count ( Or items, drops, ect ) hits maybe 10-15,000. It may differ from player to player too though, so I'm not 100% on that one brotha :(
I’m watching only because I thought you can only get cores from dungeons
Awesome! Can you also keep a portal near the spawn?
The portal has to be roughly 22 meters from the actual farm, but you can make a tree house!
nice. :-)
Thanks DRTY :D
Another question, could you put a portal up top and travel in and out of the portal with cores, coal and trophies?
So you can't have a portal around them if you want them to spawn, but I just remove my portal and rebuild/reconnect it when i'm ready to take my stuff back :D
@@MrRums nice to know. Just keep a chest with portal item in it and build and remove every farming event... not too shabby!
[edited] They spawn, but really slowly...
Yess that's why this farm is best suited for actual AFKing, like leaving the game up while you're doing homework or other projects :)
Will the cores and coal go away if you are not there? Or do you have to be present? For the items to keep gathering
items despawn if there is no workbench nearby.
On a few different occasions I came back to my farms from my main base, which is about 1/4 of the total map size away from where the swamps were - to find that the farms were still running and accumulating items while I was pretty far away. I don't have any hard numbers on how long they'll be present, or how far away you can be just yet - but after some more testing I'll definitely share my findings. There also seems to be a max amount of items allowed to be spawned in your world without a workbench/character around them, but from afking this farm for a whole night it didn't look like anything despawned :D
@@MrRums I will be getting this game, and I will definitely try to set up a farming center for the cores as I do know from watching all kinds of video publishers that large amounts of cores are needed for lots of crafting items and benches. Thanks for the reply. I sub’d
@@LGUP-lh9gj Not really. Core's are used for kilns (To make coal) and smelters (Make metal bars out of scrap) Need 5 cores to build one of those. So it really depends on how many kilns and smelters you want. I personally don't see the need for more then like, 3-4 smelters.
And 6ish kilns.
2 cores are also need to build one portal. So it depends if you want to place portals around your entire world or have a few at key locations.
@@WolfFireheart thanks for the precise numbers
How far away from the farm can I make my portal?
I believe around 20-25m from the spawn unless it's been changed!
You dont need to build all this you can just dig a pit till you hit water an then they die as soon as they hit water
But then you'll get hit by the wraiths and lose all them precious gains :(
I think you should set up a maze next, have a dungeon with the low light allowance for running through, and see how far you can span this maze to fill with spawns. You got the afk down, now you can design a roleplay environment.
Hahaha that'd be awesome :P
So useful
Thanks Chicken, much love
Portals stop the spawing?
Yess they have to be roughly 22m from the farm for it to work!
well. i subscribe to that!
Can you have a portal in the area?
It has to be atleast ~22m from the spawn! I recommend throwing a portal in a tree close to the geyser.
