Summary

  • A Valheim player showcased a genius storage solution on Reddit for organizing chests more efficiently.
  • The community often shares strategies to enhance other players' gameplay experiences.
  • Recent updates have prioritized bug fixes and improvements to the recently released Ashlands biome.

Valheim players, including one survivalist who recently cracked a genius storage solution, are still finding innovative ways to get the most out of their building experience. Valheim sold over five million copies just one month after its release in 2021, with over 40,000 concurrent players still braving the wild today.

Created by Swedish developer Iron Gate Studio, the open-world survival game allows players to assume the role of Vikings to craft tools, build shelters against harsh environments, and fight enemies. The Valheim community was teased with a Swamp biome update recently, and that's thought to be joining various other fixes and improvements following the game’s Ashlands update released in May.

Posted by kommon_one on Reddit, a brilliant new storage system was shared with the community in the game's subreddit. “Does anyone else do storage like this?” Asked the user, who provided two screenshots of their shelter highlighting the chests stored on the structure’s ceiling. Trophies, Seeds, Resin, and Old Armor were some of the signs organizing the three rows of four hanging chests. Understandably, fellow sandbox builders were impressed by this notion, vowing to “steal the idea” and use this storage solution within their shelters. Several players were also distracted by a separate chest on the floor labeled “Ms. Diesalot,” and they asked the user for its origin story in jest.

Valheim Player Shares Innovative Storage System

Between finding treasure troves of materials and helping Valheim players protect chickens from raids, the sandbox community is always keen to share strategies and solutions to make a richer gameplay experience. Despite being fairly new to the game, the original poster of the storage remedy even provided precise techniques to allow all the chests to hang uniformly and be easily accessed. Furthermore, stone hoarders within the player pool were relieved to discover an effective way to store the abundant material.

Stone is a valuable material in the sandbox, and Valheim players want more stone structure building options on offer to utilize the component. Alternative to the storage system, another player recommended building a camp nearby to build piles of stone or wood when shelter chests become full, and fellow Redditors also advised using a cart to collect the rubble for ease of transport.

The Valheim community received a brand-new update for August, prioritizing bug fixes and performance updates over adding new content. Various improvements to the Ashlands biome were also included. Furthermore, the community is hoping the devs will work on improving the overall Viking experience by letting players conduct raids themselves and pillage other survivalists' storage chests for even more stone.
