pre ashlands world

[Bob]

can we still find ashlands or do we need to create a new world?

You can and it should be the new ashlands too unless you uncovered the entire south "pole" of the world.
Im concluding that based on the mistlands update. Bits uncovered pre-patch have remained fogless and pretty barren but the parts uncovered post-patch generated normally.

The only (small) downside being that pre-Ashland seeds no longer display correctly in the world seed generator.

use "genloc" command (make a backup first)

Sorry, I expressed myself badly. If you use an old seed post update and then try to generate a map at https://valheim-map.world/ the places of interest will be all wrong. Fairly sure genloc doesn't fix this.

There is a world version option tho. The question is however if the game would generate the ashlands on an older save file. One predating the patch itself.
The answer is yes, if the south part of the map hasnt been fully generated (uncovered) prior to the patch.
Now that i think of it, I generated the new ashlands fine on a world that's like 4 years old. Give or take. Predating the mistlands by a long shot. From a time when Valheim 1st became a media sensation. The thing is ive never touched that part of the world.

My Ashlands generated just fine on an old seed as well but generating a map at valheim map world no longer did.

I dont get why would that be significant or matter at all. If the game works fine it's all that matters. It's a 3rd party tool, a good one but it's not really needed to play the game. You brought it into the topic and focus on it needlessly imo.

OK...

In my original map, I explored quite a bit of Ashlands well before the update, as well as a significant portion of the old Mistlands area in the south. It's kind of a mess down there, but there's still plenty of Ashlands to work with.

As for displaying old maps, if you load your map files into the world generator they should display properly.

In which case you use the save file upload option so that valheim-map can override explored areas with what's already there.
