Did Ashland change something about the mistlands?

[CombatWombat]

I just got all the mods back up and went through the portal to my queen location as I still need to kill her, but the place is barely recognizable. The water level seems higher and bolders are missing infront of her lair so that the walls fall straight down into the water on all sides. I rember having an easy time jumping across the rocks from my portal to the lair. Not anymore.

The few rocks are there all float above the water (WTF). I'm just glad I built my portal in a premade structure as it does not seem to be affected. (same vertical walls on all sides.

not about the biome, but about the areas that are close to deep north and ashlands borders. which is probaly precisely where your queen spawn is located. post a map picture to make absolutely sure (zoomed out please)

for the record : what you experience is not a bug. they warned us about this months ahead.

That sounds like it.

The white island above is the deep north. I did not read anything to not spoil myself.

*Sigh* looks like I need to find another queen spawn.

Thanks for the quick answer.

yeah. too close. BARELY too close. but there is 4 more queen spawns on the map.

i wouldnt portal towards these egg markers in the north either ever without a ship aswell btw. that area might also gotten affected. rest is out of reach of the changes.

One last question, wasn't there a mod that regenerated the world with the new code but left your structured alone? What was the name of that mod I can't find it.

Was an strange experience sailing the boat back under the world while trees and boulders were falling into the ocean left an right. :P

I got a queen location pre-ashlands and I just got there yesterday and she gone. I erased the marker from my map, used the same vegvisr, and there she is, WAY further south. like, nearly in the ashlands further south. no biggie, but it just shows what can happen to maps when a big update happens

So I'm kinda stuck

The valheim-map.world doesn't show the correct boss location for my world. I have tried the mod "upgrade" to reset the world outside to the new generation but while it definitelly changes the world it doesn't generate the boss locations either.

So I'm kinda stuck. I have absolutely no motivation to find and go through countless mistland dungeons just to find a damn vegvisir to find a boss location on a map that might be broken anyway. I specifically made this world to play ashlands on it and spend a lot of time building a base and I have absolutely no motivation to start over.

I think at this point I'm simply done with the game. The first 5 bioms where fun, everything after that was an absolute fun killing slog. Reseting terrain problems now are just the icing on the cake. This all just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks.

first off : that map tool is known to show wrong locations. stop relying on it. boss shrines arent hard to find aside maybe yag.

if you used the mod the map tool is 100% useless as it edits your SEED at a core level within your worldsavegame.

then there is the question : you already had a queen spawn. why did you not ugh. KILL HER and take the drop home back then or sometime in between? we already knew her drop would update the same way yags drop did. bosses arent dropping these placeholder items for no reason.

you arent stuck. stuck means you cannot do anything about your situation. but you can.

if you find a new vegvesir you will get a 100% new queen spawn aslong as its far enough away from the old one and that new queen location will be precisely where the vegvesir shows it aslong as you actually go there and visit it before the next content update (which is atleast 8 months off from now)

The map tool never showed a wrong location before and I used it extensively on some worlds.
Take a look at my world, the upper left contains not a single mistland Vegvisir.

As I told you I have zero motivation to go through mistlands again. Yes I could have killed the queen, I didn't and there should be no reason why that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ me up now.

Can I continue this map somehow? Yes. Do I want to? No. This is the ♥♥♥♥ that kills player motivation.

I managed to create a playable version. If anyone has a similar problem, here is what I did.

I installed the mod "upgrade" https://github.com/JereKuusela/valheim-upgrade_world/blob/main/README.md

And used the following commands

devommands
upgrade mistlands
start
upgrade ashlands
start
upgrade deepnorth
start
zones_reset biomes=mistlands (might want to add ashlands and deep north here)
genloc
world_clear

The generation is not perfect but it is ok. Some of these commands take LONG, have patience.

If you want to use https://valheim-map.world with this world you HAVE TO upload your world files otherwise the locations are all wrong.

I went back to vanilla. Mods destroyed my game I had worked all the way towards end of mistlands. Inventory started to disappear every time I assigned something to slot 5 & 6. A couple other odd behaviours too but the inventory bug was a dealbreaker.

thanx for your experience report, but it has nothing to do with the topic. You can also uninstall the mod and play vanilla once you upgraded your world.

Wasn't a report and it is relevant as you asked if ashlands affect mistlands. No, different biome altogether. But, mods can affect the game adversely, especially after a major update. Also, uninstalling mods didn't work for me. I had to wipe everything clean that had anything to do with Valheim.

in order to avoid such problems for your modded runs and worlds alltogether use mods on a seperate valheim install outside of steam only. this will also prevent the game from auto updateing each time a patch comes out. so your mods and world wont break.

sure you wont get the new content updates either but if i play modded i would go all out anyway and fill the world with modded extra content as there is some seriously good content mods out there that are also very well balanced.

there where even modpacks that added entire biomes beyond the deep north to the game. some of these wouldnt work anymore with the current version of valheim as they got made years ago.
