The Ashlands update adds a new volcanic biome to the south of the Valheim map, with new enemies, materials, weapons and building pieces.
What is new?
- Ashlands biome: a volcanic landscape with lava, ash and new enemies
- Flametal: a new material for endgame weapons and armour
- New enemies: several new monster types spawning in the Ashlands
- Sailing 2.0: improved sailing with wind and waves
Keeping your existing world
You do not need to start a new world. The Ashlands are generated in the south of your existing map, in areas you have not yet explored.
Important: make a backup of your world before installing the update.
Updating the server
- Stop your server.
- Back up the world files.
- Update to the latest version via the panel or SteamCMD.
- Restart the server.
RAM and performance
The Ashlands are visually heavier than earlier biomes. For 3 to 5 players, 4GB is sufficient. With 6 to 10 players and many structures, 6 to 8GB is better.
Mods and BepInEx
Check that your mods are compatible before updating. Run without mods first and add them back one by one.
See the Valheim plans on Valheim hosting.
