Go play have fun. The only places you don't want to fully delve into are far north and far south. As soon as you see it appear on the map just stop going further. But honestly go for a little wander if you like you'll be exploring like 1 hundredth of an area, I doubt very much it will break your game if that little patch is walked on.

I explored heaps of mistlands pre mistlands and the map is still completely usable , and I've got a nice big patch of Ashlands and deep north explored, is fine

If the final product is good enough I dont care how much time needs to develop, at least from indies, wich can struggle a lot more than big companies more interested in release dates and money.

If they did i'd also like to see the Quote please!

Game design 101 for small teams "if you can get the community behind you they will do a chunk of work for you!"

Obviously there is Q&A and some Mods cant make the cut as they compromise some area the Devs know HAS to remain as it for later progress etc etc. But the Mods folks make show a good idea where the community feeling is in game direction.

A "World refresh" achieved my the very Excellent Upgrade world Mod OUGHT to be in the settings of the game! That way we'd skip all issues of having loads of folks on along running server if the admins did a refresh one per (time period of choice)

On a world that was started PRE mist lands Upgrade World has One "Gotcha" that the author warns about: You can refresh the biome(s) as is no problem . But if you want to redistribute the Biome spread as happened when Smoglands turned up then doing that COULD overwrite some player structures on the edges of affected Biomes - You know the very areas a lot of us use to make bases.

The wife and I had a Base in the Black forest a few hundred scale meters from the edge of what was the Mistlands placeholder. And all that remains of it are the front Gate the rest was swallowed up by a mistland Hill....! But even then all our materials largely floated to the surface of the new Hill so we rebuild a bit further away later...

I love mods but I always try to play the games vanilla first, then use mods, unless is something really really usefull. Thank you for the responses guys.

Speaking of mods, if we use them, do we need to have them installed? do the game download them for us when I try to enter a world with mods? I doubt the mods are server side and is not needed to download.

And I dont see a problem seeing the devs adding things that were mods before, is a way of feedback, if a mod is used a lot it means its useful (if it doesnt break the game of course) it is not the first time I saw mods being added to games because its logical to add them.

Most mods are client-side, and will need to be installed by you. There are "Mod Managers" to ease this process (I recommend r2modman), but they're not required. Almost all mods use the BepInEx plugin.

Their stance re mods definitely improved at some point but them encouraging the use of mods?! Can't quite believe that without hard evidence. :-)

Oh and my VH world is ~2k in-game days old -> UpgrdeWorld[github.com] worked mostly fine for me too.

The next areas that are being made are the Ashlands and whatever the north area is called (I forget). The Ashlands are all the way at the southern part of the map, while the northern area is all the way at the north. As long as you avoid those places, they should update just fine when their updates happen.

That said, there's no guarantee. Any update at any time might require, or at least recommend, starting a fresh world. Such is the process of early access.

I see, thanks, we'll see if its worth to start again when the update launches or better stop playing and then restart when it launches XD

You can always move over most of your stuff if a restart is needed. Your character's skills and their inventory is kept when loading into a world, so if you start a fresh world, you can just keep hopping back and forth between the old one and the new one, grabbing materials from the old and bringing them to the new. You'll just have to rebuild your home at that point.

And... as I always say when these threads catch my eye.

Still using my original day one world about 1500+ days last time I bothered to check.

Every time a new major update drops I fire up the "Upgrade World Mod" run it once then uninstall. SO far has worked like a charm allowing us to redo places we've already strip mined (Provided we left no building items behind otherwise it skips that area so have never lost a Building either).

But I appreciate not everyone wants to use any mods as their are not "officially " supported as the Devs want to do it all in house: Which I feel is a mistake, but its theirs to make.

Deep North, I heard it called, but I don't know if that's right.

8 months and yep no content just coins an oven and building pieces and a cancelled roadmap

for me that played the game since beta... I its alright with the new content that comes out.. and its a big one... After this they said Mistlands... then its time to wipe the seeds again :D

there is still a roadmap given
it was delayed but the stuff is on the road. i wonder why people ignored the roadmap and now are starting weird threads

i called it , the cozy update lol

It is my first early access game and before buying it I made some research, and when I decided to pay, i was aware of the following:

-It could take years before full release
-The game as it actual state could completely change
-It is a possibility that we never see an update

So yeah, after a half year we have an update and that's nice, i hear they also work on mistland which sounds like a pretty nice one. I already spent a few hundred hours on it so I can't wait for new content and I'm glad we're getting some.

I don't know what you all are expecting from a small team that suddenly became super rich. It is just normal that all their plans changed. Wouldn't it change your life too? It is nice that they love the game enough to finish it cause a lot of other people would have take the money and run and we've seen it before too...Chill and play something else while waiting...

It's not just some crap for house.

^This

So much

People who buy early access games need to realize that they are BUYING a PRODUCT that IS NOT FINISHED and the PRODUCT will REQUIRE TIME before it is FINISHED.

The amount of entitlement I see on game discussion after game discussion of early access releases is disgusting. For some reason a segment of the gaming population has decided that early access means finished product. This is even seen in the reviews for games. Honestly, Steam needs to separate the reviews of early access and full launch, but that is another discussion for another place.

Gamers need to realize, understand, and remember that game development takes time and resources. One of these resources are people which they, when added to a project, need time to be brought up to speed.

Now being just under a week away from the patch, I can say I am excited for it. It is more content, or rather something new for Valheim. I plan on enjoying the changes and if or when I become bored I will go play one of the other games I have (thank you Steam for a decade of summer sale purchases I have yet to play). If you need suggestions just go start playing demos of the various games out there and I bet you will find something new and worthy of your time until the next patch arrives for Valheim.

Its a peaceful life

There is more then just fluff. There are some changes to weapons and food buffs/duration among other things, the items for "house life" are just a portion of obvious changes. There are a series of small videos touching on the changes if your actually interested.

No need for huge updates when you already earned the money they've earned

Outside of the weird AI behavior of mobs(leeches not attacking, mobs going for my workbench not me etc,) that have been reported already, the game is running fine for me.

Everything is working 100% on my side

Your descritpion is awesome. lol

Game is fine but still they whine

No major problems here, but sometimes if I approach the edge of the world, the ocean's edge is glitched and doesnt appear, and you cant see the actual edge, just a sudden drop off that isn't actually there. It just keeps popping into existance and can be very nightmarish to witness (at least for me). The ocean used to be fine last update.
