I have a dedicated Valheim server using G-Portal and I backed up the save, changed it over to normal game mode, then changed my steam to normal and started up game and joined server. My character started at the boss stones (starting spawn location) and the world seed was the same but fresh, unexplored and unsullied. I switched the server back to test as well as my steam client and restored the backup again and all the progress made was retained.
How can I do this for my dedicated server but on normal and is it even worth it if essentially all the files are identical to the normal mode?
