Valheim - DEER + PASSIVE MOBS FARM!

I think you must be 40 units (not sure what a unit is) away from the spawn area for things to spawn. I think I read that or something like that on the wiki.

Deer cannot be tamed.
fake.

I think its hilarious that in 90% of your videos that I have seen, Hugin is literally always begging you to talk to him! I'm starting to feel quite bad for the poor fellow.🙂
Also, did you have to replant grass for this to work?

Add some bee hives and the bees will do the killing for you.

Super newb here...but why does it need to be on an island and not just in the meadows somewhere?

I fyou go through the effort you could probably put a tamed wolf or something in there to kill the animals

I did find this useful :) I am one of those players who actually feels bad when I kill tame boars. Yes, I know they are only pixels.

What does AFK stand for?

Can you do it In the Hearth and Home Guide of this?

Interesting farm, not sure it is an AFK farm, but I guess if you say it is then OK.

i feel like someone paid you to say "the odd greyling" as many times as you could.

Unless I'm mistaken, it seems you are building without materials or workbenches.. How do you enable that.? I know about God mode, but it still requires materials and workbenches

using cheats to create mat farming islands that are impossible/extremely difficult without cheats..... how is it fun?

The distance for mob spawns is 68-72 meters away from the player.
There are two easy ways to test this visually.
Sail up and down the coast until you start to see mobs appearing on the shoreline.
Or wait for a raid, as the circle that shows up during a raid is the exact same size, 68 meters, and provides a perfect visual representation.
I've also come up with a way to automate it using a tamed wolf, some spiked barricades and a water channel, but it requires a lot more work.

The current plan I am working on is to just grab a Boar rune stone and build my base near there (a bit more than 30 meters away). I'll build a fenced area around it and get rid of the crafting bench so things can spawn. From there, I'll have a decent-sized fenced path away from the area to a small tower. I'll push an archer skeleton into the tower and place a crafting table in the area so things won't despawn. The I'll check to make sure the crafting table range is just bordering outside the spawn area.

What should happen is boar and deer will spawn near the rune stone. As they wander about, they will head down the path towards the tower. The skeleton will shoot the deer and boar. Later, I can just stop by and collect the meat and materials. Eventually, I plan on making a meat factory with breeding boars and wolves that drop down a shute to an area where they can wander about - eventually into range of a few archer skeletons.

Oh deer the dad jokes on this one.

i won't recomend to place a portal on this farm because it disables mob spawn in a radius approximately tha same size as the worckbench bild radius

So fake 😂

So, the PORTAL needs to be a major distance away (how many meters?)... but you yourself need to be AFK at a point where the entire island is within a 60-70 meter circle around you... for maximum effect?

Does this method actually still work (just over a year later)? I'm testing it but not under the best "island conditions" and I'm not seeing a LARGE number of spawns happen. Makes me wonder if the spawn rate was reduced in the Hearth & Home update back last Fall?

Definitely interesting. Could just portal in. Slay and leave Lol

Could you do this on the land?
Without using all the mod codes?

Taming deer could be a simple fix for a moderator I'm guessing. Also be cool to enable boar to follow like a wolf, battle boar style. Wish I knew how to make mods.

Thank you for this idea pal. Hunting deer is tedious and monotonous in my experience. I keep finding your channel every time I search for Valheim guidance and ideas for content. Your efficiency won you another subscriber 👍

Nah to this. once you get a bow and arrows then getting deer starts becoming too easy to trip over as a hunter. they are all over the place and they make sound that tells you they are likly in kill range. the bores are a lil different because somethings they tend to hardly spawn or spawn very sporadic.

You could use wolves to kill the deeer, have them follow you to the afk place if they stop the spawns

Cool! But i was wondering could one make a swamp version to farm entrails and bloodbags?

Great video, but any updates on this? Does this still work in current version or is it patched?

Maybe we can use Wolf here ?

This could have been a 2 minute video.. thanks for showing everyone how a fence works though. Really really helpful.

put couple wolfs on that island and bunch of crafting tables, wolfs kills everything for you and dropped items near crafting table wont get prioritized on despawning.

Does this still work in Mistlands update?

I had something like this, but i put woolf in for the killing

i cant seem to get deer to spawn

excuse me kysen, why are you building on an island?

Whats AFK?

Does it have to be an island or peninsula? Or can it be any meadow region, fenced in and within 30-60 meters?

Had a better farm in my world. All I did was base in a continent that was half meadows and half plains. The Goblins and Deathsquitos auto farmed all the meadow mobs. Comepletely no set up, completely afk.

find an island like this, terraform it, make the fences, a portal, and get a wolf or 2 and release them to slap everything in sight

im kinda shocked as far as i saw no one asked for the seed of this world to do the exact same thing interesting.

Using dev commands to show how to do in game stuff for non cheaters don’t work

It’s not afk if I gotta do the killing

How you get the runestone?

Thanks bro, really helps, searching for deer could be a real pain, really helped me out with this❤

That's not a frickin farm! That's waiting for stuff to to spawn.

Great idea. I do feel a tiny bit of pity for these animals.
But still a great idea.

This seems way too complicated for me and I can't fly but a great comprehensive guide I can try when got my head more round the game 😊

Bruh what if theres a storm, probably it will make huge waves... Your animals will just swim away from your cage lol

Nice, you could probably create a spawn pocket on land with workbenches. Though this would be a lot cheaper by far.

What do you call a deer with no eyes, no legs, and no balls? Still no fuckin eye-deer.
