    You forgot the actual swamp crypts. They are elevated off the ground, indestructible, and you can place campfires on them. Making them the ideal location for a small survival hut right on top of them.

    • @quicksandriggs
      @quicksandriggs  3 ปีที่แล้ว +30

      Good point!
      But it wasn't forgetting them, I just prefer the fallen trees. Only reason I prefer them, is I have been to swamps that did not have any crypts in them, but I've always seen a tree. Most likely a player wouldn't be staying in a swamp without a crypt, but if night is about to arrive, or your ship broke as you arrived and you need to regroup, there might not be a crypt available and you'd be stuck on a tree anyway.

      @@quicksandriggs I agree - I most likely would not stay in a swamp without crypts. Because there's no poinr. If my ship was broken, it would most likely have shed all materials to rebuild it. So I would rebuild it. Unless all items were unretrievable. And if I found no crypt in the swamp, I would try to get out of this biome before building a shelter. Unless there's a draugr tower in the swamp that I could convert into a shelter. In some swamps, there are tower ruins with draugr spawners inside. Destroy the spawner, and you've got yourself a perfectly good base for a little house. So that's possibly an option, as well. But not as readily available as the trees, of course.

    Stone towers in the mountains are also easy to repair and very strong, you must be careful to dig a trench to keep any possible giant to get close. Drakes are the only real threat, but you can easily 2 shot them and wolves can roam around sometimes, but they wont focus on structures too much and, again, its stone foundation

    When I first stumbled upon The Black Forest, I made an outpost surrounding an abandoned stone structure. It was a nostalgic location because it was the spot where me and friend first encountered Graydwarf shaman and brute. The outpost grew into my main base and I built a shrine of sort to protect my friend's gravestone(his hammer is still in it).
    There was no strategic reasoning for me to build the Black Forest base. It was way later when I discovered on TH-cam that Black forests contain material that are essential for my next technological progress. Sure enough I found surtling stone locations, copper and tin deposits all around my base.

    Excellent content, and I learned something new that I havent seen anywhere else (building in the swamp on top of the fallen trees. Another build location in the swamp is on top of the crypts, I keep a portal up on top of each crypt while Im farming it so I can get there quick, even though I have to slog back through the swamp to haul the iron scraps back. Makes for safe passage at least in one direction. When Ive cleared it, I break the portal and move to the next. If you put a workbench behind the crypt, you can even use that to jump up on top (for those with low jump skills)

    I found an abandoned village right on the border of a Black Forest, so set up camp there. It was brilliant for farming Skeletons and Greydrawf's as they would wander out of the forest and attack every night. It was great right up until a Troll came along and flattened half of the village before I managed to kill it. Guess we know why the village was abandoned and half destroyed when I found it, huh!?

    You can always levitate a campfire by placing a board underneath and attached chimney. Once the rock beneath is removed, it will remain.
    Also campfires have a long vertical area of effect, several "floors" up or down. Useful for swamps especially if you find a ruined stilt-house ruin you can rebuild. But if you absolutely want your fire out of melee reach, use the levitating campfire.

    Not very practical but I have built a base on top of the Yakulth boss spawner. The top 3 "fingers" align mostly in a horizontal way so I just built with wood beams and a stone floor to put the fire. I also have my smelter there to process the black metal. The altitude makes it hard (not impossible) for mosquitos to climb up.

    best outpost option in the swamp is to just put a workbench at the back of a crypt and jump on top of the crypt and place a portal. when you 1st go to a swamp build a portal in your base and tag it, "swamp". when you place your crypt portal, tag it and there you have it. port in and out as needed. when you finish the crypt, deconstruct and move to the next crypt, rinse and repeat. i don't think it's a cheat, just a work around. portal your iron scraps like this. set up an alternate starting world with you character. place a small shelter with a chest. log out from you crypt portal with your scraps and log in to the alt world. place your scraps in the chest. log back in to the main world and portal through to your base. log into the alt world, grab the iron do the log swap and there you are 4 log out/log ins and your ore or scraps are at your base ready to smell. errr. smelt.

At a certain height not even deathsquitos are going to bother you. You have plenty of room for some furniture, floor, chests, portal, you can put a fire on the inside of the carved pillar and you have a roof, as long as you keep a connection from between the bottom and the remaining top.

    The Plains recommendation is somewhat faulty, firstly if you dig inside the tall monolith rocks(horizontally) you can place a campfire inside them and secondly the smaller rocks can often be scaled by ground based enemies such as Fulings, I'd recommend at the very least aggroing a few and testing the smaller rock to be certain they can't just walk right on up or digging a trench around the rock to be certain.

      You can't place workbenches or anything that requires them in any of the dungeons, but campfires still work inside burial chambers/troll caves/sunken crypts. The troll cave's high roof means you don't even get the smoke damage, and I haven't noticed it in sunken crypts either.. Some of them have chests inside for 100% safe storage, compared to the outside cave mouth where a troll attack might destroy your build.

      My swamp base is a treehouse and the heating is from a ceiling brazier. I had to install a forge and stonecutter table to be able to make it though. Be aware Trolls can attack anything above ground. When my base was first built, two trolls came along and killed me and did major damage to my treehouse even though I was above their height. I think they hit the indestructable tree to do that. Even though that was undamaged, my guess is the shockwave damaged me and my base. I've surrounded the base with an earth wall and moat since then and so far, I've not been attacked there again.

    @DrZaius3141 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I like the video but at "mountains, the first biome where everything is dangerous" I had to take a double take, followed by a snicker. Drakes are a joke, golems can be avoided, kited or ran away from, skeletons are irrelevant at this stage, fenrigs are almost as easy as drakes, and wolves only become a problem when you're too aggressive during night time. I'd even go so far as to say that Moder is easier to handle than an oozer.

    • @quicksandriggs
      @quicksandriggs  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I guess it depends on play style a bit, all I meant was the first time you get there everything is dangerous. Wolves mostly destroyed me early on until I learned how to block their attacks, golem are easy to run from, but when discussing outposts they are incredibly dangerous if you just build a shack above ground. And I agree drakes are weak, but if they are the first flying things you've encountered, it'll be a challenge. The swamp has things like leeches that can't even attack you if you just stand on dirt. So it wasn't to say the Mountain is 'super' dangerous, just that I thought it posed a high threat like the Plains when you venture there for the first time, whereas the Swamp had only one major threat being blobs/oozes, leeches are avoidable and Draugr are just big skellies.

    • @DrZaius3141
      @DrZaius3141 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@quicksandriggs That's certainly true, but I still remember stepping into the swamp, completely overprepared (except for poison resistance mead which is hard to justify as a permanent thing) and still dying quite a bit. Sure, you can avoid leeches - except that 80% of your average swamp is shallow water. Blobs are the real pain though because none of your preparation matters unless you're willing to spend some high level food stuffs. Also, draugr elite hit hard enough to damage you through a block with the bronze buckler. And parrying them is tough, because if you miss the parry, that's a ton of damage. Also, keep in mind that those can be ranged (in the notoriously dark and gloomy swamp), attacking from any side while you have to go aggressive because it's not uncommon to find 3 spawners in the same area. One one-star elite draugr can easily f you up.
      Meanwhile in the mountains you can justify frost mead because you very soon get the chest armor or cape. And with the frost mead drakes can be face tanked. They're also in the sky, so fairly good to see. Wolves have very low HP, so some archery sets you free.
      Just look at the stats:
      Elite draugr: 200 HP, 58 damage; usually in a group, often around a spawner, potentially ranged. Approached with bronze equip.
      Oozer: 150 HP, 90 unblockable (!) damage, usually alone but spawns 2 blobs on death; can't really be kited without major hoe-age, due to leeches.
      Wolf: 80 HP, 70 damage; often alone, rarely more than 2 and if there are 3+, the first probably dies before the third is on you, meelee only. Approached with iron equip.
      Even without the tech upgrades, I find the mountains much more chill (pun intended). Once we had the wolf armor, we barely ate more than cooked meat + honey in the mountains because there was no real threat.

      @@quicksandriggs Wolves are totally hard to parry, I agree, but with draugr there's always so many of them which makes parrying pretty impossible, particularly with a few archers mixed in. I think that according to the wiki, wolves spawn in packs of 1-4 wolves (it at least feels as if during the day you're mostly on the lower end and during night you're mostly on the higher end), and have low HP.
      What I forgot to mention: The mountain biome does not have any spawners, which makes it a lot easier to strategize. In the swamp you need to zerg towards the spawners because an elite draugr spawning on top of the 5 enemies already there could ruin your day.
      The environmental dangers in the swamp are rain (constantly wet) and poison. The first has no solution at all, the second only a costly one.
      The environmental dangers in the mountains are the cold and the height. The height can be dealt with by proper movement, and the cold has multiple permanent solutions.
      As for the wolves: I feel that you're more cautious as a player whereas I'm more aggressive. In the swamp, caution is helpful, in the mountain biome, aggression is. The relationship between enemy HP and damage makes that rather clear.
