Lol, I have one on my channel from when we were still testing designs before he uploaded this. My design is an older one, but still works it’s the proof of concept that matters really
Are fluckin kidding me? Jesus christ. I curse thus a hole for not taking this video off. Been working on this for hours. Lesson learned for the last time. Read the comments first when your watching glitch/cheat vids.
Seriously yo! It was extremely frustrating to get all the way up to "...now just pull out your Abyssal harpoon and..." only to realize how much longer there is until my weird modern art sculpture is at all useful 😳
Do enough sailing and you should find what you need out in the oceans. Be careful if you pull up in a storm, as your boat can easily get wrecked if you park too close. Happened to me and 2 friends, our ship capsized and broke and they died while I just floated and waited for them to sail back out and fish me out of the drink. You might be able to get enough from one trip if you're solo, quick and have an iron pick, but you'll probably need to find two in the end.
I've built the boar machine. It dumps the pigs into a max depth pit. Staring into that pit ...... is the most disturbing thing I've seen in a video game in my life.
I recently built a boar machine in my base. Usually there's 20+ boars in it. Was doing things in base at night and I hear this massive scream! Sounded like a dragon or something. Wet myself, so I changed to wolf pants and armoured up. Not knowing what made this horrific sound, I prepared for the worst. Was searching for it but couldn't find anything out of the usual. Then hear it again coming from the direction of the meat grinder. I see a skeleton firing arrows at a torch on the wall surrounding the base. Sometimes he and missed, and a arrow hit the boar machine, triggering all the 20-50 boars to cry out at the same time. Will build a similar wolf machine now. Need to get that wolf fur flooring done!
To all the people who are complaining about him switching to repair to destroy stuff... WE KNOW!!! We switch to hammer because we don't want a wall in our face when we are destroying stuff. Honestly don't know how you guys are going around destroying stuff without switching to hammer.
@@Firespark81 wouldnt a halfwall with a spiked wall on top work? The little piggies wouldnt get hit cuzz they are too small and when they grow up the would get hit (maybe not sure if their hitbox is big enough for that)
Video was great, love the way you put it together this time. Since harpoon was required, wish it was stated earlier. Love your work though man, sub has been earned with this one.
I super appreciate that section at the end where you explained the spacing limitations. As soon as I get back into the game (waiting for computer repairs) I'm going to try building this with multiple upper pens at the 5-space breeding limit, and using angled chutes to direct the piggys into a single lower pen. Fantastic video, and I'm so glad to see this kind of ingenuity applied to Valheim. Am subscribe; much thank!
Such rude comments here...Video was great. I like how it was presented and even if I don't make this it was worth the watch. The rudeness is so unnecessary.
adjectives man! Adjectives! "Attach a wood beam at a 90 degree angle" is much more informative than "Take the wood beam and do thaaaat, and do thaaat" Slow your roll a bit. your videos will improve for it! otherwise great videos! I love your content!
This is so great. I needed a new build idea and think this would be perfect. Now to find a Kraken and a two star boar :). Thanks for the great Valheim videos.
Tried this and practiced harpooning with normal boars first. When I right click "boar released" it falls down from the tower. I double-checked that my setup is identical, except that I don't have that fall-off behind tower. Edit after several hours of experimenting: The tower works, but I found it less risky to place two wooden gates 1/2 tiles further from the boar pen. This way the doors push pigs and piggies, but closing them does not drag them out of their place. Also putting horizontal wooden bar behind doors helped to keep them in place. The only problem I've had after those is that food is really hard to aim, and it sometimes lands to platform in a way that board cannot reach it even when it's right next to them. Might be lack of tossing practice. Great idea this machine btw!
The spacing demonstration was useful....now I can build 4 of those with a large pen underneath and use the first 6 two stars to fill those 3 additional breeders and have a 4 breeder setup for ludicrous amounts of meat.
I made this without the harpoon. I used 26 degree roofs to make a 6 segment high wall then attached at the bottom of it a breeding pit. I penned off the bottom of the ramp and tamed two boars. After being tamed I pushed the pigs up it and got them in place.
I ended up with this too. Pit and roofing. You can also use this trick to breed wolves like crazy. I noticed once there are too many too close together, their breeding seemed to taper off and eventually stop despite always being fed and happy.
this is hilarious. I feel like you could do the same kind of thing without the huge contraption by setting up a pen that has a narrow gap that only piglets could leave by and enter another pen. Wouldn't be a guarantee that they would, of course. Good stuff though.
yea you have to feed them. Although Elliwesis who was credited in the video was doing some other testing and informed me that they can breed multiple times off one eat. However it is only a 50% chance each time they breed that they will actually have a baby.
Now that this is patched and boars won't eat off of floors, you could just dig a pit and convert the wood parts to terrain. I think that way would be far less technical and maybe a lot quicker.
I'd be interested in a video highlighting the thing you call "stasis", basically which things work while you are far away and which don't? Do the boars only breed when you're close or can I build this farm anywhere in the world and don't have to worry about it. Maybe it would be good to have a video to list all the things that don't get frozen in time when a player isn't near and the things that do.
Very interesting build, but people should also keep in mind this is mainly useful for multiplayer servers with several players, where natural means of food may be a bit more limited. It's not a way to limit space, as the build looks fairly sized already (even more so if you do a second pen to double spawning essentially), but a loophole to get around breeding limitations.
By the way,you need the harpoon... couldn't you have mentioned that at the beginning? *sigh* I don't have it yet. BUT I do have a nifty tower out back ready for breeding boars once I get it I suppose.
I really love how informational your videos are! The only thing I really hate is how much you move the camera when trying to point out a spot or an area. Still love your videos and I am looking forward to see more cool ideas in the future!
I had a bit of an issue where the boars weren't breeding. I had to destroy a few of the wood pieces holding them in, and give them a bit more space and then they started eating. Thank you for the guide
2 small notes. He skipped 1 small step at 4:57 you can see it that he stacked 1 extra beam on each of the outside piece of the ramp to make the wall (no big deal). The other is that 0 star boars are too small for this and will slip out. Need the bigger boars.
so does it need 2 star boars? 1 star boars don't work? I'm having an issue where the piggy will sometimes spawn up with the 2 boars and then get fully grown and it keeps happening.
@@CoriolisEffec7 not sure. I know 0 stars are too small. I've even had the 2* one slip out as I was making it but got it to stick with fiddling. This was the only one I used a cheat for, to spawn 2* boars to get it going because I looked and looked after the 0 star ones failed.
Did work for me with the current build of the game. One thing is don't trust the door thing.. it just pushed the boar through the wall and it felt down. After pushing that thing up the ramp by pushing it for 15 min, I was beyond livid. Also don't trust that catapulting guard. If you pull that boar full speed with the hook it will catapult out. Just take it slowly. It also does have a lot of maintenance. Baby really likes to get stuck up and not fall. I have to check from time to time and push them down or hook them and pull them down. Sometimes I have to kill some adult stuck up there. But it's been working for a good 20 days and right now I have 6 adults and 9 childrens at the bottom.
Thank you dear sir. As I was experimenting with breeding, I encoutered the breeding limit so I ventured to the net find out if it is bug or a feature. Oh, what a gem I found. Thank you so much for saving me the time by experimenting with the 5* sphere limit. I love you breeding cage setup, and I plan to expand on it and streamline it to a veritable automated slaughterhouse. Thank and you and you will be credited in the operating office of our future Happy Meat Packaging factory.
I donno if they work the same as wolves but I put 2 wolves outside my base so they could roam around the area. About 3 hours later I had 27 of them out there.
Can vouch this works and can be done without harpoon or cheats (pickaxe a must to lower ground). Only modification was made (a 2m wooden beam across the doorway to keep them push back where babies actually drop) Thanks for the tutorial.
Its not automated planting and harvesting, but theres a mod that makes it so you can auto-replant crops and it does so in a radius. So its "almost" automated lol
All-Father must be horribly confused as to what is happening in Valheim.
😂😂😂
Little did he know valheim could be transformed into another valhalla through hard work! Same goes for our own real btw.
Industrial farming has hit valheim already
Just wait for scicraft ppl to discover this game
Okja
And here I am stuck in the Iron Age...
@@thelasttaarakian I can't even get to the iron age
Lol I’m perfectly fine with factory farming in gaming
Aren't you worried that inventing factory farming 1000 years early will throw off the timeline?
Macdonals in early-acess
My thoughts exactly.
I'm about 6:00 minutes in an the horror of what this contraption is supposed to do is starting to take shape.
ah, what a viking way to welcome a new boar to the afterlife, with a 20m drop to hard wood
Where it will promptly starve for the rest of it's short life
This is the most disgusting thing I want to try
Just wait till they kill them with fire smoke
Lmao odin looking down scratching his head (That's not what I sent him there to do but I'm interested none the less)
OK you get a sub simply for the amount of work you've been doing over the last month.
Impressive
I would have loved a time lapse of baby boars popping out lol. Great job with this video. I can’t wait to try it
Lol, I have one on my channel from when we were still testing designs before he uploaded this. My design is an older one, but still works it’s the proof of concept that matters really
This is almost like real life pig farms. The pigs only have enough room to stand. Thumbs up!!
If I could have given them less room I would have lmoa
@@Firespark81 That's a scary thought. But it is a game...
Chris.... you’d be able to fit twice as many pigs in your farm if you didn’t give them room to stand....
How those piggies will roar when they hear how the old boar suffered
xd
I understood that reference!
Ahh yes

Too soon :(

Remove walls and roof at top. Slingshot creatures from top. New Valheim sport is born 🤣
Should have started with "You need the Abyssal Harpoon"

haha i guess they are like cockroaches moving around
I wanna see this
screen shot?
I recently built a boar machine in my base.
Usually there's 20+ boars in it.
Was doing things in base at night and I hear this massive scream!
Sounded like a dragon or something.
Wet myself, so I changed to wolf pants and armoured up.
Not knowing what made this horrific sound, I prepared for the worst.
Was searching for it but couldn't find anything out of the usual.
Then hear it again coming from the direction of the meat grinder.
I see a skeleton firing arrows at a torch on the wall surrounding the base.
Sometimes he and missed, and a arrow hit the boar machine, triggering all the 20-50 boars to cry out at the same time.
Will build a similar wolf machine now.
Need to get that wolf fur flooring done!
This is the most evil creation I've ever seen. Job well done!
PETA would like to have a word with you...
Foraging -> Farming -> Factory
Don’t let PETA see this.
Now we really get to see how your brain works...this is so efficient it's unsettling.
For anyone thinking about not watching the video. "If you don't do this, you have a chance to sling shot your boars". worth it
This is the most Boaring content I’ve ever seen!
To all the people who are complaining about him switching to repair to destroy stuff... WE KNOW!!! We switch to hammer because we don't want a wall in our face when we are destroying stuff. Honestly don't know how you guys are going around destroying stuff without switching to hammer.
Honestly, I do this all the time. I don't see why people have issues with it
Imma bout to blow my brothers mind when he sees this built in our base. His tiny little boar pen is gonna feel inadequate 😂
You just need a second tier catch pit beneath the first full of spikes so when the pit overflows the excess boars are "processed."
You know I thought about that lol. But after how long it took me to get that first drop setup just right I was like "nope I'm done with this"
@@Firespark81 wouldnt a halfwall with a spiked wall on top work? The little piggies wouldnt get hit cuzz they are too small and when they grow up the would get hit (maybe not sure if their hitbox is big enough for that)
This reminds me of a video I saw of Craftopia. They had built a conveyor belt that had a ton of cows being dropped into a giant cooking pot. 🤣
This is very cruel and efficient
Okay now that's new minecraft
This was the moment.
Don't ever compare this the scumcraft
Its more like if ac valhalla and minecraft had a child and terraria toke care of it

the baby falling at the end is such a great moment
the animal lover in me is shocked and dismayed, the Viking in me is like...."A toast to the pig breeder!"
Clever build. Maybe put requirements right at the start though? The harpoon for instance.
I've seen ppl go kamikaze farming chitin with no items other than a pickaxe, a karve and a dream.
If they die they try again
If you make it narrow enough you could probaly herd them up there with a torch...
HOW DARE YOU NOT SHOW US THE PEN FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH PIGGIES! LOL that's all I wanted to see!
IKR. I stayed till the end waiting for that. 😭
your outro as babies are dropping from the sky is too good LOLOL
This is genius! Devs probably wonder what else is possible in this game :)
This is horrific factory animal farming. 🐗🏭😱
Have to build that now.
Nice name
The vegan teacher would be mad
This is so great. I needed a new build idea and think this would be perfect. Now to find a Kraken and a two star boar :). Thanks for the great Valheim videos.
your level of obsession in breeding boars made me subscribed the channel
I'm impressed how you figured out this setup. I would have never come close to this. The sound of piggies falling. lol
Tried this and practiced harpooning with normal boars first. When I right click "boar released" it falls down from the tower. I double-checked that my setup is identical, except that I don't have that fall-off behind tower.

next on this channel: how to build a dumpster to get rid of 600 meat and leather scraps...
My last two houses have had a corner with no floor and a pit for unwanted items.
Is this the origin of industrial farming?
Congrats on your progress, being small creator is hard. Thumbs Up 👍
"This is an informational build."
Me who made this in real life:
huh.
lmfao the ikea factory farming set the "bjorkjork"
Disturbingly similar to how pigs are breed IRL...
The spacing demonstration was useful....now I can build 4 of those with a large pen underneath and use the first 6 two stars to fill those 3 additional breeders and have a 4 breeder setup for ludicrous amounts of meat.
So...technically I could use this to make an army of wolves that get fed by meat from a couple of pig machines. Hmmm....
Big brain comment🙌
Cool Video FireSpark81, I like how you showed how you came to your measurements.
I was expecting spikes at the bottom, to complete the merciless baby pig butcher machine!
lol i dont think the babies have any item drops
Babies don’t give mats BUT it would be a good way to stop the flow when our boxes are full of meat while keeping the trickle going lol
Might be possible to create an overflow pen with spikes..
I incorporated a kill room off of my pen. Would open a door when they were all grown up and they all just suicide on their own.
That were some serious thoughts about how to efficiently breed boars. I like it.
You brought factory farming to Valheim and although kinda genius I can't help be disturbed somewhat
WOW, I am impress by your dedication to finding all these technique through trail and error. 👍
This dude is a scientist in this game lmao
And i'm here with 2 pigs with a fence and a hole inside deep enough so they actually have water too.. 😂
I made this without the harpoon. I used 26 degree roofs to make a 6 segment high wall then attached at the bottom of it a breeding pit. I penned off the bottom of the ramp and tamed two boars. After being tamed I pushed the pigs up it and got them in place.
I ended up with this too. Pit and roofing.
You can also use this trick to breed wolves like crazy. I noticed once there are too many too close together, their breeding seemed to taper off and eventually stop despite always being fed and happy.
Thanks for the detailed and informative video. Appreciate you taking the time to make this.
Very kewl. Firespark taking valheim to new heights
Virtual PETA wants a word with you.
And the viking invented the industrial breeding ^^
Straight to the point, i love that!
The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
“They will be happy” 😂😂 amazing build, your brain is awesome
That is SOO cruel in theory but so Amazing!!! I'm gunna do it. ;)
Lovely boar breeding pen! Really enjoyed the aggro/breed sphere explanation towards the end too! ;)
what a monster. good video
this is hilarious. I feel like you could do the same kind of thing without the huge contraption by setting up a pen that has a narrow gap that only piglets could leave by and enter another pen. Wouldn't be a guarantee that they would, of course. Good stuff though.
The Valheim video with the most combined WTF and Glorious yet.
I was trying to do this yesterday... Very informative!
Updates have broken this farm, but it's so great and well thought out that I'll be looking forward to an update if you make one
what was changed that prevents this from working now?
You could make one of these only a couple of walls high for wolves and don't have the pin underneath. You could fill your island with wolves patrols.
What a contraption of genius. You've definitely worked hard on this game, my man. A question though, do they need to be fed/happy to breed?
yea you have to feed them. Although Elliwesis who was credited in the video was doing some other testing and informed me that they can breed multiple times off one eat. However it is only a 50% chance each time they breed that they will actually have a baby.
Its a necessity for boars to be happy and fed to breed.
Now that this is patched and boars won't eat off of floors, you could just dig a pit and convert the wood parts to terrain.
I think that way would be far less technical and maybe a lot quicker.
Ah, that explains why that *never* worked for me
Having problems with the boars moving forward a clipping through the front of the “catch” they’re tilting forward and unable to eat off that platform.
Best Valheim video yet.
Oh, so this is how they made indrustial meat back in the days

It's not a way to limit space, as the build looks fairly sized already (even more so if you do a second pen to double spawning essentially), but a loophole to get around breeding limitations.
By the way,you need the harpoon... couldn't you have mentioned that at the beginning? *sigh* I don't have it yet. BUT I do have a nifty tower out back ready for breeding boars once I get it I suppose.
So cool, just like the VIkings used to!

You should start the video with a preview of the end result then go back to how to build it. Just a suggestion.
I agree.

2 small notes. He skipped 1 small step at 4:57 you can see it that he stacked 1 extra beam on each of the outside piece of the ramp to make the wall (no big deal). The other is that 0 star boars are too small for this and will slip out. Need the bigger boars.

Factory farming, I love it.
Well done.
I reckon the design might put some people off but in that case, just build the tower on the side of a cliff.
Functional and esthetic.
Exactly my thought.
Could you just have the baby pigs fall directly into a wolf den? Seems like it's nice cherry on top for this video
“You can mirror this” but with wolves so the baby wolves and baby pigs fall into the same pit
