Valheim 0.217.36
This public test build is not yet on the Default version and may be unstable, so backing up saves is advised in the announcement. Seasonal items now switch on by the calendar date, so yuletide items are available in December. Xbox players can use a keyboard and mouse, and the settings menu has been reorganized.
