Shower of "Too Hard" messages when mining silver

243 votes

don't know what caused this but kinda annoying to have my screen filled with "too hard" text whenever a piece of a silver vein breaks... obviously it's not too hard if i'm able to mine it :)

I've also seen it, and I think it's caused by the silver ore or stone you just mined impacting the remains of the silver vein, trying to deal damage in a similar way to felled trees impacting other trees.

I've found that the shower only appears when you have mined underneath the vein, to the point that it floats mid-air.

This appears to be specific to when the silver vein is not connected to the ground: all connected silver pieces will emit a "too hard" message as (I think) breaking from being unsupported is not sufficient damage to cause the vein to collapse.

I believe that silver should collapse the same way as copper when detached from the ground, as hovering items seems to be inconsistent with Valheim physics; so if the silver vein breaks this message should no longer be a problem.
