Carry weights and seemingly purposeless restrictions on teleports

[LowOctaneMurder]

So I'm sure by now we've all noticed these heinous weights on the ores and the fact we simply can't use teleporters with them in our pockets. These things don't make sense as it's not just with the ore but the finished metal product with seemingly no other goal than to extend the grind for better gear, hours spent hauling around ore in carts for the end goal of getting to wait even more for the long wait times on kilns and smelters, and the fact that 20 coal often won't even smelt the allotted 10 ore slots in the smelter. If the processing was faster and we could haul teleporter materials around it'd be a fair bit easier to process metals. If we can teleport in our full metal gear with our metal tools I simply don't see how this couldn't be a possibility. Because barely being able to haul a full stack of ore early game is just grindy and pointless, all I see this doing is leading to people cheating items into the game and missing out on a lot of gameplay, that or if they don't feel like learning how to cheat likely just quitting the game when they learn that to make a full upgraded set of bronze armor, tools, and weapons, etc. My only suggestion would be to allow teleporting of ores so you can carry them to one central location to smelt them all, and perhaps up the cap on the smelter and kiln, and make them process coal and ores faster. It's bad enough we have to farm up forests worth of wood to make the coal and even worse when we're forced to babysit the machines to keep the processing going for hours at a time for even just a chest worth of ore. I do love the game, I have over 100 hours in it already but even I get sick of grinding for a full day or more to progress a tier just to find out the next area almost renders it entirely worthless. I also realise that they've already released this mod Valheim plus, but I'd like not to have to mod the game for ease of life changes that should've been there to begin with.

what would be the purpose of having a boat if all you had to do was teleport...

To travel to new islands? Mine Kraken? Sea serpents? Exploration? You can't remote set portals up.

Having a boat lets you travel but it takes awhile due to winds usually never being in your favor, taking on krakens, going around islands. So if you have to travel far out to set up a whole new base and mine everytime then it gets to be a very long and tedious grind for no other purpose than being a very long and tedious grind. And I know you can't remote set portals but you can have one at your main base and carry the ingredients for another to set up and use when you find ore to travel back and forth quickly to the vein and then simply rinse and repeat until it's done and find another one to do the same thing with.

I know they have a mod for it, it just seems dumb to have to mod the game for a simple quality of life fix.

[LowOctaneMurder]

Dropping the weight of ores by even half would alleviate some of the problems, and making it so you could teleport them would be even better, then all they'd have to do is speed up the kiln and smelter and we'd be golden.

Use carts for mass mining, they are there for that exact reason. And if you mine on a new island, park your boat nearby and again - use carts (you can load said carts on your boats too). Also, when you find the merchant - just buy the belt and you'll get even more carry weight to play around with. I really don't see the issue with teleporters not allowing ores through - then again I seldom use teleport anyway.

ValheimPlus is the mod you are looking for, OP

Don't kid yourself: this is fully by design and intended. If YOU as a player want it to be different: the onus is on you to change the factors you don't like... as opposed to trying to convince the team who designed it to be this exact way that their way is wrong.

I mean: you'll never get the changes you posted about. Not ever. Like NEVER. So you may as well mod up and have fun in the game your way!

I like it the way it is. Adds an extra challenge.

Personally I see two options. (well three but stfu isn't a polite option) we can ask the Devs to make it so you can transport Ore and Bars through the Transporter. But you can't transport anything across the Ocean Biome.

Or they can add a Scraper in. That will give a RNG chance of recovering a uncommon item or better and a chance the recover will be 50/75/100% (say 50%-50%. 25%-75% and 25%-100%)

That way you can make stuff and while the boat still ensure you get all your stuff back a scrapper does gives you the ability to move it but at a loss.

This keeps the Dev's seeming intention to keep the Portals from being overly exploited while also giving some freedom to the whin...players.

I can fully understand why they made it so you can't teleport ores. Without it there would be zero reason to ever create a second base after you've sailed anywhere.
Mining ores would be utterly trivial if you could just throw down a portal and you're instantly back home.

I'd honestly rather see an extra line of inventory slots.

[LowOctaneMurder]

I get you want to insult me and say it's an extra challenge, but I assure you after 100 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hours, I know that there is a belt to increase carry weight but this however doesn't solve the problem at all. Seeing as how by default your later game kit is going to be upwards of 100 weight or more by default. The belt merely gives you back the base inventory weight. You can't pocket typically more than 30 ores. And when you have to go up into the mountains, good luck with carts, they're all but worthless even on flat terrain much less a steep hill. The only "challenge" this sort of thing presents is a test of patience. It takes forever to mine, takes forever to transport, and as if it weren't bad enough by default takes forever to process both coal and ore. So you can say I'm whiny or whatever, tbh I really don't care what your opinions on me are but frankly after grinding to max out bronze, iron, and silver, it's gotten a bit more than tedious. It's not interesting, it's padding, like anime filler episodes.

[LowOctaneMurder]

And if I were the only one sharing these opinions, there wouldn't be a mod to literally change all of these things and more. So I'm sure at some point, if not being able to teleport ore, we'll be given weight changes, or extra inventory to use. I wouldn't even mind having the ability to purchase a backpack or something from the trader, I'm not asking for a full overahaul of the game, but I just want some small quality of life changes to make specifically mining and smelting ore just a little faster. And I don't think that's asking for too much, if you invested as much time into it trying to make enough ore for not only myself but also helping my friends I'm sure you'd feel the same way.

it just released give them time im sure they will cater to all your wants and demands jesus why cant people just stfu and enjoy the game let the devs work on it.
