Valheim 0.217.19

This public test build is the first bug-fix patch since Hildir's Request. World modifiers and presets can now be set directly on dedicated servers, and admins get several new console commands. A long list of fixes covers building snap points, enemies, world modifiers and Xbox issues.

New content 6

  • A new build piece, the blue standing brazier, has been added.
  • World modifiers and presets can now be applied to dedicated servers through startup batfile parameters or through the console as an admin, and the dedicated server manual now explains how.
  • Admins have new console commands: setworldpreset, resetworldkeys, setworldmodifier, players, setkey, removekey, resetkeys, listkeys (shows the list on a dedicated server), sleep, skiptime, restartparty and genloc (takes time and may cause disconnects).
  • The pause menu now shows a player list.
  • Haldor has a new, extended music track.
  • Xbox players get an auto-run toggle in the accessibility settings.

Changes and balancing 10

  • Mini-bosses spawned during Hildir events now have 50% less HP.
  • Brenna is now more resistant to knockback.
  • The ballista now accepts trophies from the Hildir's Request bosses.
  • Mobs spawned by bosses now aggro the player even with the passive mobs modifier, since the boss was already aggroed.
  • Haldor and Hildir dialogue lines stay on screen a little longer so they are easier to read.
  • You no longer cycle between snapping points while the console or chat is open.
  • Changing the alternative snapping mode, zooming in, or pressing certain gamepad buttons now cancels build piece removal to avoid accidental removals.
  • Your player position is now saved when you save manually.
  • UI polish: click sounds for in-game UI, a background on the world modifier tooltip, item tooltips while dragging another item, clearer and more optimised text fields, a new text input component that works on all platforms, and clicking outside the map pin input closes it.
  • The key hint for adding a server is fixed, and some missing key hints were added.

Fixes 13

  • The modifier summary no longer displays incorrectly after choosing the casual preset.
  • Resource scaling is fixed for the dragon egg, fishing pole and skeleton chest, and some pickables no longer scale above max stack with resource rate modifiers.
  • Snap points were corrected: hot tub and oven naming fixed, one excess barberstation snap point removed, darkwood beam naming matched to other beams, and some wood gate and darkwood gate snap points changed.
  • Building mode is no longer visible while dying when playing with the modifier that keeps equipped items.
  • The black marble bench and table no longer take rain damage.
  • You can activate the guardian power again while holding the hammer, hoe or cultivator.
  • Starred fenring cultists and fenring cultists in events can no longer drop multiple trophies.
  • An increased crafting station radius now correctly blocks the spawn area and stops items from despawning.
  • Fixed a rare multiplayer crash when respawning in an area just as a monster dies.
  • The Elder and Moder no longer trigger incorrectly when using player based events.
  • A hugin hint that spread false information about Hildir has been disabled.
  • Vegetation shader issues were fixed.
  • Xbox: opening the cheat console no longer hides the UI, changing snapping no longer makes you fly down, chat no longer opens with the info panel, opening settings for the first time no longer freezes the game, the camera is locked while placing a map pin, and using a vegvisir with a controller no longer pings.
