DanceMyth 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2023 This isn't modding, but I'm not sure where else to put this. With the game files being hosted on the server, is there a way to find out what your world seed is? We've uncovered almost 30% of the map and haven't found the 5th boss yet...

StealthyMartian 65 Report post Posted January 23, 2023 Currently with a dedicated server there is no way to specify a server seed. If you want to use a custom seed you will want to go into single player and created your world with your desired seed, then following the upload instructions (which can be found on your control panel) upload the world to your server. If you want to find out what your current server's seed is, you will want to download a copy of your world via FTP and place it into C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds then boot up your game and you will be able to see the seed from the single player world select menu. If you need instructions on how to download your world let us know! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need instructions on how to download your world let us know! To obtain a manual backup of your Valheim server follow the below steps: Stop the game server. Click on the IP/Host link under the FTP Details section of your control panel. This will either open up an FTP view in your current browser or in your preferred FTP client. If you are having issues, please see --> FTP Access. The files you are looking for are the .db and .fwl file and can be found within the worlds folder. The file name will always be GSID.db and GSID.fwl (GSID = Game Server ID number) The below image is what it will look like in WinSCP, in this example the files are 138094.db and 138094.fwl Once you have located the files simply drag them to your desktop if using an FTP client, if its open in your web browser just click on the links.
