Valheim 0.148.6

Build 0.148.6 changes a number of gameplay details, including fire pieces, the Reinforced chest, wolf taming and the Battle axe. It fixes many bugs, among them the Comfort calculation, 1 and 2 Star creature HP and a missing Moder spawn location. It also improves how the game handles network connections and turns the in-game console off by default.

Changes and balancing 12

  • Campfire, Bonfire and hearth now take damage when they deal damage.
  • The Reinforced chest now has 6x4 inventory space.
  • All boss drops can now float on water.
  • Deathsquito and Drake trophies drop more often.
  • Night-spawning wolves should be easier to tame, and should no longer run away and despawn once taming has started.
  • The Harpoon no longer works on bosses.
  • The Battle axe now hits multiple enemies more easily.
  • Player knockback is now affected by equipment speed modifiers, so heavy gear reduces the knockback you take from enemies.
  • The enemy projectile reaction system has been improved.
  • You can no longer place a new ward where an enemy ward overlaps.
  • Hammer, Hoe and Cultivator now have a slight delay between uses, and the Hammer's remove action auto-repeats.
  • The Sunken crypt entrance was tweaked so tombstones stop getting stuck, and the Blackforest stone towers also received tweaks.

Fixes 10

  • Fixed the rotation of the Wood tower shield on item stands.
  • Fixed an HP problem with 1 and 2 Star creatures.
  • Fixed the Comfort calculation.
  • Fixed the "Failed to connect" error message.
  • Fixed a stacking problem with the Serpent trophy.
  • Fixed the Moder spawn location missing in some worlds; an existing world with this problem needs the "genloc" command run manually in a local game with dev commands enabled to generate new locations, which is rarely needed.
  • Fixed the Megingjord item collider.
  • Fixed the top stone of Dolmen locations falling for no reason.
  • Fixed item stats not always syncing when an item is removed from an item stand.
  • Fixed an issue that made the server send more data the longer a client stayed connected.

Other 6

  • The in-game console is now disabled by default and can be enabled with the launch argument "-console".
  • The command that enables developer and debug commands is now "devcommands" instead of "imacheater", and it shows a warning message.
  • Network bandwidth handling is better: it should work better on low-bandwidth connections and use a higher data rate when possible.
  • Bad connections are now detected better.
  • The server list refresh button can now be pressed before the whole list has finished downloading.
  • Localization was updated.
