VALHEIM ~ YOUR VIKING ADVENTURE AWAITS!
Welcome to The PACKS VALHEIM PvE-P Server.
Patch 0.218.15 – Ashlands
The world is heating up and in the south something is stirring... The creatures of the Ashlands come to life as the biome update is here at last! After three weeks in the Public Test Branch, we believe we have ironed out most of the wrinkles with the update already, but please keep in mind that hotfixes and such are still likely to happen within the near future! Before you dive into the game, please do take a look at our preparation guide. This guide touches important matters such as world generation and mods. You will find the detailed patch notes (full of spoilers) down below. Please respect those who don't want to see spoilers before they play.

Mechanics:
Beware the skies! Cinders rain down from above in the Ashlands, causing damage to those who are unprotected

Deadly lava takes up large parts of the landscape; traverse it with your very own platforms
Lay claim to Charred Fortresses with two new Siege Machines
New plantable Ashvines will grow on the walls of your base

Modding: IMonoUpdater no longer requires to be inherited from and error messages removed Once more, please do remember to check out the preparation guide Below! Before you set sail towards the Ashlands, it contains important information! NOTE! Unfortunately there are currently some issues with the Microsoft and Xbox versions of Valheim, which means there will be a slight delay in getting the update properly uploaded there. However, the current version on Xbox Flight is the same as the version coming to live, so crossplay will still be possible between Xbox Flight and Default Steam games.

Getting Ready for the Ashlands
Terrain Generation and New Content
As always, new content will only be generated properly in previously unexplored areas of the game. Therefore, if you have already explored a lot of the Ashlands, the update will not generate properly in that world and we recommend that you start a new one. If you haven’t explored the Ashlands, you should get the new content, but we always recommend that you start a new world for the best possible experience. You can of course start a new world with an older character, if you don’t want to play through the whole game again before being able to conquer the Ashlands.
Additionally, the Ashlands update features some significant changes to the terrain generation around the Ashlands. The Ashlands will only be accessible by ship, and the terrain around it has been lowered and turned to ocean. This also affects any buildings you might have in that area – if they are built on terrain that gets altered, they will collapse. The images below illustrate what happens to a spawned location versus what happens to a player built structure. As you can see, even if the spawned building remains intact, it will be rather difficult to reach it, as the terrain around it is vastly lower.
Preparation and Difficulty
Before you travel to the Ashlands, you should first make sure that you have defeated The Queen in the Mistlands. If you have done so on an earlier playthrough, remember that her dropped item is no longer a placeholder. Just like Eikthyr’s antler lets you craft a pickaxe needed in the Black Forest, and just like The Elder drops a crypt key for the Swamps, the item from The Queen will be useful in the Ashlands! If you have the item already, you might need to toss it out of your inventory and pick it up again, for new recipes to trigger properly.
We also want to remind everyone that Valheim is meant to be a difficult game, and that it’s meant to be more difficult the further you progress – and the Ashlands is the penultimate biome of the game. If you’re confident in your skills, by all means, go forth! But if you haven’t played for a while or if you’re feeling a bit rusty, we recommend a bit of practice to get back into it, or that you adjust the difficulty in the World Modifiers menu.
Mods
Like every time when we update the game, it will take some time for mods to catch up and be playable again. If you’re using mods, it’s therefore recommended that you disable them before you download the Ashlands update, otherwise the game will most likely not launch properly. To disable mods you will also need to remove BepInEx or any other mod loader, as they might try to load regardless.
If you don’t want to play without mods, you will most likely have to wait a couple of days until the mod creator has updated their mod to be compatible with Valheim again.
