Until the new modes are introduced, and til the game is finished, these frustrations will likely just be a thing. But we have console commands to mitigate them. Just use them wisely not to cheat yourself out of the experience, but instead to tailor it to fit your own game-mode.

F5 to go into console, then type devcommands.

After that, use help to find the commands you want to use. I cant remember them all specifically at the moment. But one important one is 'God', before typing 'fly'. Otherwise you may accidently drop to the ground and have more than one gravestone to deal with.

Look up commands as you need. Just dont use them unless you need to. You'll only ruin the experience for yourself. That said, they can be necessary for some of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ moments an early access game is bound to have.

No matter how well polished Valheim is, it is still a work in progress.

I shalll shut up now.

If you find what was mentioned above (F5) does not seem to be working, you will need to go to your steam library, right click on valhiem, goto properties, and under launch options type:
-console
This will allow F5 to work in game. Then follow everything Adamg stated.
