Most games have poor (Relative to how they look) performance because the Processor is handling a lot of complex things in the background like Simulating, and Valheim in particular is doing A LOT of simulation.

What and why is Valheim simulating a lot?

It's not. Not any more than any other game might be... another game which is basically simulating very little.

Physics, wind, day night, growth cycle, AI, Factionstate, light and sound propegation. All these things are running constantly in loaded zones, and have to also be tracked in memory constantly so that when the player enters a new zones they update correctly.

Please do not comment on things you don't actually know about with blatant disinformation. Valheim is simulating a ton of things, moreover, it's having to simulate most of them in real time while also being a functioning game and level editor simultaneously. Having to redraw shadows every game tic alone is an insane CPU drain based on the day-night cycle simulation alone. (Which is why the game runs worst at early dawn)

i have 60 fps but for some reason this game makes my pc up to 90 DEGREES CELSIUS even on the lowest settings and its only on this game.

Check to make sure it's actually 60FPS, not that you're just seeing 60FPS. The game could be running at like 120-360 but if your monitor is only 60HZ, you're only seeing 60FPS.
