Install a fresh new server

I recommend these instructions if you don't know how to install a dedicated server. Even if you're playing on the same computer the server is running, it's still an acceptable option!

Server start script

Need a start script?

Create a file named "start.bat" in your server folder.

Paste this code in the file, and change the last line.

@echo off set SteamAppId=892970

echo "Starting server PRESS CTRL-C to exit"
REM Tip: Make a local copy of this script to avoid it being overwritten by steam.   
REM NOTE: Minimum password length is 5 characters & Password cant be in the server name.   
REM NOTE: You need to make sure the ports 2456-2458 is being forwarded to your server through your local router & firewall.   
valheim_server -nographics -batchmode -name "YOUR SERVER NAME IN QUOTES" -port 2456 -world "YOUR_WORLD_NAME_IN_QUOTES"

How to find your world files and name

• Go to windows -> Run
• Type %appdata%, Enter
• Go up 1 directory, and find LocalLow folder
• Then navigate to --> IronGate > Valheim > worlds
• Your world saves are put in this 'worlds' folder

Server Seed

Need a good seed? I can recommend this one! You start on an island surrounded by ocean, and have to take a boat to reach the 1st boss. The spacing between landmarks, bosses, rivers, and continents is great!

Try deleting the profile in r2modman, make a new profile, and download the modpack again.

Change Log

Full change log: https://pastebin.com/1TWh7sGs

VERSION 1.6.2

• Updated Recycling (drag item + delete) so that you CAN'T break down a RunestoneMagic into lesser shard parts because it breaks the modpack.

• Updated Ward recipe.

• Dependency update: OdinPlus-CraftyCartsRemake-3.0.0

VERSION 1.6.1

• Actually updated dependency WackyMole-RareMagicPortal-1.4.1 this time, oops!

VERSION 1.6.0

ENCHANTING:

• Essences can now be upgraded.

• Augmenting is now done with reagents, less expensive than previous.

• Augmenting no longer asks for an additional Essence (re-augmenting).

• Augmenting Coin cost is now reduced by 50%. (half the Coin cost of the original enchant).

• Material upgrade cost slightly reduced.

• Added conversion recipes. Magic runestones can be converted to other magic materials for a cost, and recycled back to runestones (with delete key).

• Unwanted trophies can now be turned into Shards, which can be put together to make RunestoneMagic. Finally those unwanted trophies are useful!

BOSSES:

• Bosses now have cooldowns between summoning.

• PortalMagicFluid now correctly drops from bosses Dragon and higher. (Item was misspelled in loot drop config)

• All bosses now have a chance to drop tools and weapons from the next tier!

• Fixed bosses to now correctly drop everything they're supposed to: enchanting mats, PortalFluid, lots of coins!!!! (to pay for your repairs)

CREATURE DROPS:

• BloodBag drop rate increased to 45% to match Entrails as the same. (Up from 40%)

• FreezeGland drop rate reduced to 45% to match Bloodbag. (Down from 49%)

• IceOfTheNorth (rk_moochi) drop removed from creatures in Mountains UNLESS defeated_forgottenone. Also drops from DeepNorth creatures.

TIP: IceOfTheNorth is an important crafting ingredient for higher level foods. You can now craft it without stepping foot in the Deep North, but the full crafted ingredient can also drop from creatures in the Deep North. This is necessary as a gateway to the higher levels, before the highest level foods can be crafted due to the extreme difficulty of the game.

• Drake Eggs (rk_dragonegg) now drop from Drakes (Hatchling) (45%) because there was no possible way in the game to get them. It was missing from the drop loot config! They also now drop from Drakes in the Southern fire zone.

• Enabled many loot drops that were previously disabled, likely as a mistake.

MERCHANT TRADER:

• Dragon eggs can now be sold / purchased for the same cost as Freeze Glands (30buy / 7sell).

• Coal can now be purchased, but not sold (a fix from a mistake).

• Food (consumables) now sell for 30% more than market value (buy price) to encourage cooking as a way to make money! Majority of foods already produce 2x their vanilla crafting rates.

• Updated coin cost of Legendary Items to reflect the new coin scaling and boss rewards (price increase slightly).

RAIDS:

• Icy Hell / Ice King event will no longer start until defeated_forgottenone

POTIONS:

• Disabled certain Flasks and Elixirs, per Epic Valheim update for balance reasons.

ARMOR:

• Adjusted armor values for Jude's Equipment armor sets so that they better scale with the difficulty of the game and align more closely with Chaos Armor.

• Increased armor levels on all gear to match game difficulty.

WARDS:

• Replaced WardIsLove mod with BetterWards. There is only one kind of ward and permissions are not necessary because there are no player prohibiting controls. As long as it's enabled, it will reduce damage by 85% to pieces within 25 blocks, and heal 20% damage every 60 seconds.

DEPENDENCIES:

• Updated to latest version: WackyMole-RareMagicPortal-1.4.1

• Added: Smoothbrain-PassivePowers-1.0.3 - Press LeftShift + 1 and LeftShift +2 to trigger active powers.
