4Game

Me and my friends play Valheim since autumn 2022 and each one of us invested round about 200h so far. I never played a game for so many hours. We take it slow and enjoy every aspect of the game, without looking things up – only if we hit a knowledge-wall.
We just arrived at the mistlands and with all the new stuff coming in with this biome one can spent days only doing nice housekeeping and farming stuff in the base.

I was thinking: what about some more sophisticated farming. Maybe giving the game a little whiff of stardew valley 😉

At the moment you can only farm certain crops in their specific biome. One would think this is determined by soil, climate and -maybe – light.

Soil: What if one could gather some soil from one biome (eg plains) and use it to grow crops of that biome in another one (eg meadows)? Tools to realise this could be a bucket and a spade (eg made out of Black metal and parts bought at haldors). The bucket could also be used to irrigate the crops in the greenhouse…

Climate: easy enough a greenhouse made out of crystal from the mountains could do the job. Plants would need to be under a crystal roof.

Light: there are different torches with different colours in the game. Relating the crops that grow in the greenhouse tons specific light would give those torches more than cosmetic value. For example: Mushrooms from the mistlands only grow with a whisp-torch.

What do you think?
