Map gen is kinda broken...

I was in a meadows map, with no black forest enough to trigger Hugin... yet one day I got attacked by 2 shamans and 6 greydwarves... and a brute, oh sorry there was a Troll too.
The 'Black Forest' was so tiny, I spent a day looking for it and found a tiny spot in the middle of nowhere... I couldnt even find it again.
But this meant I needed to be attacked by 2 shamans, 6 greys, a brute and a troll.. oh there was a greyling in there as well.
Then my rags bugged out I recovered them but could not wear them, they showed the wearing animation but then went flashing red.

Its a bit much to spawn 2 shammies , 6 greys, a brute and a greyling for a spot so small I couldnt find it again... seriously I went out to hunt some boars and deers to kill Aekthier (1st boss)... a tad bit of a overkill per 1st boss dontcha think ?

I have a spot on my seed that is on my first island. There is swamp, right near the southern tip of the island, at the end of the black forest (where it's supposed to be). However, there is a tiny strip of plains right next to it. If I take the wrong path, and get too close to the plains, I get obliterated by a goblin or something from the plains.

Things that flash red are broken. You need to interact with the crafting station it was crafted at and look for the hammer icon next to the build list. Click on that until it goes off and all your stuff is repaired. It will let you equip it when fixed.

Also those black forest guys will spawn in the meadows at night. That is fairly normal if you run around after dark.

Yup. Just chop some wood or use the mining pick and watch yourself get swarmed.

I have an area maybe 1/4 a city block in size of plains surrounded by swamp and black forest. It is a death trap when night falls. Packs of 5 goblins, multiple death bees and there's a massive battle each time they all spawn in unison.

Id report this as a bug with a video attached but it is something that indeed can happen with a randomized map gen like in Valheim.

Tho that must be like a needle in a haystack xD

I think its because there is a tiny spot of 'black forest' the game thinks I am near the Black Forest... I found the spot once when is said Black Forest, but it was so small I could not find the exact spot.

You can always make that suggestion but youd probably want to post about that in the proper thread for it.

Not broken.

More like TOTALLY AWESOME.

Find that little patch and build a spike wall, and a trench/moat and or earthen wall around it. Then laugh at them. You've got a captured Troll and grey dwarfs in the center of the relatively safe meadows! Consider the glass HALF FULL (not half empty).

Build cool tree house that looks down into the enclosure and start charging admission.

There are solutions to nearly everything in Valheim.

Also, if you are having trouble finding said spot, look on your map. The ground will be a darker shade of green. As Gunther said, you can wall it off, or. I may be off, it's been a while since I played, waiting for new content to do another playthrough but...I think if you clear cut an area things will stop spawning? It seemed like anywhere I had built up and cut down most of the trees around, nothing was spawning around there. Outside of events

I have enjoyed finding small patches of one biome within another larger biome, or even better, where several different biomes intersect- these are the spots I like to build a base for spectating battles between the different minions that inhabit Valheim.

To build a spike wall or an earthen wall one would first need to build a workbench. A moat is a non-starter without a pickaxe. If the patch of Black Forest is that small, the workbench will prevent anything from spawning.

If you want a captured Troll or shaman, or greydwarf brute, build the spike wall or an earthen wall. Just don't forget to destroy the workbench.
