Is the game reusing builds from past saves?

I've ran across multiple builings I've constructed beforehand in the world. Is the game reusing those, or is this some sort of problem with worldgen?

If this were possible. If player-created structures could appear in newly created worlds. That would mean that Valheim is a Strand Type Game.

How can you compare your hundreds of hours of experience with the 19.6 hours of game-play experience that the OP has?

I'd find these baiting threads funny if they weren't so tediously boring.

Good to know that genuine questions are still considered trolling.

On the matter of the builds I was in the wrong. New seed created had nearly identical structure to the one I used in the past, and ended up loading up a wrong one on multiple occasions.

maybe you build something similar to the "normal spawning buildings" a.k.a. templates
normally - no playerbased build will be spawned on a fresh map

Why don't you sent a screenshot of the building that the world spawned in?

This would be *really freakin cool* though, especially if other players' ruins could spawn.

Yeah, I don't think the framework is there for this kind of thing.

If it was, it would be bloody cool.

I've encountered something I've built with my friend in an old world, way back before summer. They were in mint condition, with only difference being that all the chests were gone.

Share a seed and pics or it didn't happen.

if you visit an existing world with a new character all the buildings you constructed on another character will still be there, Worlds and characters are not linked together, you can even make a new world and visit it with an existing character.

That's the thing, though. I've created a new world and a new character, and encountered builds from a few months ago on a separate seed and instance.

Do you mean just random build structures that are built when the seed is generated, or actual structures you've built yourself?

Because if it's those auto-generated buildings, you'll see the same formats used across all world seeds, with not a lot of variety. Though it appears a handful of new ones were added with H&H.

We created a new world and new characters for our post-H&H playthrough, and definitely haven't encountered buildings that we built on previous worlds.

That would be a neat feature though, old buildings copied to new seeds in random locations, but in a run-down state!

Use dev commands?
