Valheim's community has seen some pretty spectacular builds, from the Eiffel Tower to the Starship Enterprise. However, one MMO-inspired build fits right in with the Viking-asthetic of the survival game: World of Warcraft's Northrend.

That makes no sense (imo). Mods can extend the life of a game for years but its not like your forced to download and play it.
Mods can absolutely extend the life of a game but they can also severely reduce the life of the base game because people flock to the mods. If you're one of the people that likes to play games for how they were designed then it's crap news for you because you end up with less people playing the original version. It all comes down to preference I guess. I prefer mods are enabled after giving the original game a good cycle.

Fixed it for you.

I actually do get where you are coming from, but it does not have to be as black and white. They could just as easily have servers that do not allow mods on them and ones that do. That is a far better solution then ruining modding for people who do enjoy it just because you don't like it.

No one's forces you you know.
But hey, you are probably the "I don't enjoy it so other people shouldn't" type of guy.
Guess what. You aren't the center of the universe.
If mods aren't for you then just ignore them.
And cheat in a single player Co op game? Just wow.
Mods are a double edged sword in multiplayer games, you just don't have such issues in mods of solo games. Here though there is a level playing field in that all co-op players have access to the same mods (I don't know if you can pick and chose or just get the job lot). I agree that playing as the developers intended is often the best way, a mod cutting gameplay out like how much crafting you have to do should be avoided, but I am sure there are many mods for Valheim that I would think were fine. As long as your co-op group agree to the mods and understand the effect on gameplay you should be OK; for example the one mentioned would lead you to end game quickly, which is in most game not the best part of the game.
Cheats are built into the base game no mods required, just press a few keys open devmode and wala cheats.
So yes seems even the developers base game is not for you.
"And to come back at forcing me, in a way they are forcing. As if I would join a server where they have cheats and or mods enabled. I am forced.."
there are no official servers absolutely 0. You cant play on anyones dedicated server unless the person paying the money for said dedicated server allows you to by giving you the access info.
So no you are not forced to play the base game any way other than the way the devs meant it to be played because its a single player game thats hosted on your computer.
Yes maybe you can find a dedicated server (one that is being paid for by the server owner) who hasnt set a password so hey you are lucky the server owner is letting you play on it. The server owner is like Torval said the dm, its his house his rules.
Yes you can open up your sp game to let others play with you but they can only play when you are logged into your sp game and you need to click community button and you NEED to set a PASSWORD.
Basically what it sounds like you want is to be able to force the ones who are paying for their servers to play it the way you (the one not paying for said server) want it to be played.
Nothing is stopping you from renting your own server and making your own rules, like "no modding"
All your points are MOOT.

To start a community server you need to click "start server" box, then you need to click "community server" box directly below it, then you need to enter a password in the appropriate box under the other 2 check boxes. Until you have entered a long enough password the BIG box below all of those that says "START" will remain greyed out and unclickable. And it only stays up til the host logs out off the game.
Oh wait, you pay for your own dedicated/private server to run the way you like it then? I really dont understand your issues now even more than before.
Kinda like the if you open the console you will wreck the game for yourself.
That being said there are some very creative people making some awesome mods but I'm going to wait until the game is finished and I've thoroughly enjoyed it until I start modding it.
Personally I am awful at action games and without that mode I would have been unable to play the game. I felt that it was so selfish of some people that they only thought about themselves and how it impacted their game when in reality in a single player game it had absolutely no impact IMO on their game. Yet here they were saying it cheapens their achievement. How do you argue with this mentality? The type of mentality that want to exclude other people and their opportunity to play and enjoy a game like Horizon Zero Dawn.
It is an exclusive mentality they want to exclude people from what they can enjoy and experience. It chafes me to the bone.

Since I posted my "Calm Down" the poster you think is the sole cause of all this has not posted. Now he may have already decided he was finished, my post might have nothing to do with it, we don't know. But to me that or him posting again more reasonably was all I could have expected. So it may have worked before you felt the need to post yourself, but I am glad you did as I hope what I have said reveals there is more than one way of seeing things.
As to using the word "girlfriend" I was trying to lighten the situation but you seem to see the fact this includes "posters contributing positively" as condescending, are they pure as driven snow then? Besides you can't ask one person or side to calm down they all have to or you just escalate the situation. It takes two to tango, I don't accept the idea that he was riding roughshod over everyone go back and look. But yes he was using language he should not have used, hence the post about calming down.
I always look to you as an example of how people post well on here, but your intolerance for anyone who steps over the mark is heavy handed. Give them a chance.

I played Fallout Las Vegas and 3 with tonnes of mods. It was so much better than the buggy shit they released.
