[@Xeanthorn]

I think it is great that the devs are offering some modes to give us more control and even more easy uniformity for potential new SR types!

[@NickRawcliffe]

Totally agree

[@zaptrap4802]

i dont think speedruns can use the “drop no items on death” setting bc corpse run is important. personally i think thats a good thing bc i dont want to see speedrunners having lesser penalty for dying

[@todd5purlock497]

Honestly I think the only setting I'll change is the amount of resources I gather Spending time gathering is fun, but the sheer amount of it isn't as fun imo These are all fantastic settings

[@NickRawcliffe]

I agree

[@fizzymilk2528]

Agree I always need more mushrooms 🍄

[@westerxxx9220]

Adding combat difficulty is required imo

[@thekingghidorah93]

I am surprised that they didn’t add a skill xp gain multiplier to the settings. I think that would be a nice option.

[@NickRawcliffe]

I actually thought the same

[@syzmical]

This is the meat and potatoes of the repeatability of the patch, and will be transformative of the game as a whole. Putting my neck tail on the line and going out to say, this will be one of the most remembered aspects of any patch ever. Challenges, speed runs, content and many other things will be enhanced by this.

[@TheDarkota]

Gonna be a fun update! Thanks for covering it.

[@NickRawcliffe]

It sure is, you're welcome bud. Thaks for watching.

[@njstretton3328]

Thanks for covering this. I'm pretty excited for this update, always love being able to tweak the game to be more casual without having to use mods.

[@NickRawcliffe]

You’re welcome. I feel the same way.

[@JustAGenericGamer]

I just wish they had an option specifically to turn off having to refill torches, hearths, and braziers individually. I don't mind the resource grind too much (I might increase by 50% for ease of other players on our server), but screw the torches constantly burning out. I do not necessarily want insane amounts of resources, I just don't want to have to refill torches constantly.

[@Liberty40]

So use lanterns instead.

[@Liberty40]

@@keyoke69 Inferior? I think they're great and throw lovely light.

[@liamhunter2000]

​@@keyoke69which brings another point...why can't I make chain?! I can make magical swords, springs, mechanical objects, windmills and lava forges, but I can bang out some chain links?

[@Soldier-bo7uo]

I actually really like that you can change the portals to allow teleporting metal, using the cart for land travel to get silver has been a massive pain since it gets so heavy, now I’ll just need to get materials to the forward base. Also as always great video, very concise and informative

[@NickRawcliffe]

Thank you so much. I agree, I think once you’ve played the game to the end once the way they intend it makes sense that players don’t want to do the same grind for hauling mats over and over.

[@Damon00017]

I’m glad there adding this, it was very much needed. I play it as a single player game only so, I’m changing portals to let me carry metals through them and toning down raids a bit. I didn’t know though that skills get reduced on death until now. I might tone that down later too.

[@NickRawcliffe]

Nice

[@robertstan298]

Yep, it's pretty horrible too, especially at high skill. You lose 5% of your skill progress on death. Which at near 100 skill in something, means 5 levels. And you lose from all of them, all 30 of them, including running or fishing lol

[@Kinglamalama]

For some things, I really like the idea for the portals to transport metals. When I got to the Iron Age, I had 5 swamps that I explored and only found 1 crypt for iron. I made an iron run world, which then made me explore my home worlds swamps less. Now, I can keep exploring instead of cheesing it

[@NickRawcliffe]

That’s cool to hear

[@NovardNoodle]

Yes I fail to see how metal through portals stops you from exploring more according to the dev's reasoning.

[@abelbraulioritenour2300]

Easy mode is the only way i could reach the end Game while still having fun. Im so so Happy they added it

[@da_keepa1259]

Thanks for the vid Nick, especially for the additional info from the devs. If you are speaking to them next time, would be great if they could add these numbers to the description field ;-)

[@NickRawcliffe]

You’re welcome. I’ll mention it.

[@TheRabbbbb]

Great video! Thank you 😍

[@lenora22]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@Atrym]

Awesome vid. Hope they continue to add more NPCs

[@NickRawcliffe]

SAME, thanks.

[@zaptrap4802]

im glad they added a new trader. i hope eventually there’s a trader for every biome in the game, and i’d like if there were vegvisor tablets that would reveal their location kinda like boss tablets.

[@mariajromaley]

Thx for the explainations !

[@uncleacidic8850]

more choice for the player is never a bad thing. All of this will also make the game more accessible to more people as well. some folks just can't commit lots of time to gaming (poor souls) so they will get the most out of the new world options I think.

[@Skarin1452]

Immersive sounds like it could be a really fun yet annoying experience lol. I look forward to trying it out.

[@user-up8sm9ws3n]

I get lost even with a map 🙃

[@xodroid9853]

Definitely going to end up using the player based raids setting.

[@shiznitts]

Thanks this is what I was looking for

[@NickRawcliffe]

Nice, glad to hear it. You’re welcome.

[@user-up8sm9ws3n]

I am on xbox test. Is great that I can try the features out on the seed I am already on. Complete game changer. I set no base raids and building with not having to get msterials. You still need to explore and find resources to get the recipies but after that just build. Makes it so much better for solo playing. Also setting portal to port all instead of having to sail ore or eggs etc home is great.

[@timo7023]

Buffing the enemies to 200 pct is great, at least it is necessary to have defences up now. Only setting I still miss is a low food setting, making it more necessary to cultivate and breed animals, without having to mine / chop too long

[@LordNavala]

I know im late to respond, but this is wonderful! I can finally make the world of my dreams

[@motyovszkimiklos7538]

Hey! I just started playing this game with some friends for a few weeks, but I dont see the world modifiers. Is this update not out yet? Or do I have to enable them first somewhere?

[@rabbithole8498]

Well that combat difficulty doesn't really matter because if you have best gear enemies will just stagger you in one hit and then kill you with second hit. So at 200% damage they will just kill you 0.5 secounds faster.

[@NickRawcliffe]

Interesting theory

[@screaminseaman6121]

Can these be applied to an existing world or must a new one be created?

[@Delta_Tesseract]

I'm on Xbox, patiently awaiting Ashlands Update. I wonder if i tweak these settings once, but set them all back to normal afterwards will negatively impact my vanilla playthrough. Do these modifiers change the background metadata used for metrics analysis by the devs? Surely IronGate collect meta data from each and every user. Right?

[@voidex1494]

Does the no build cost only apply to structure peices like walls, floors, doors, and ceilings? Or does it apply to literally everything? Like Boats, portals, crafting stations, etc...

[@NeillSmith]

Everything you build with the hammer or cultivator. So yes, boats portals crafting stains are all no build cost. You do have to find and pickup the parts to be the ability to build them.

[@RealDaBeast3215]

Do you know if there's an ingame console command to change the world modifier for portals, specifically to change them to allow all items through? I know there's a command to change some world modifiers in game, but the portal one doesn't seem to be an option unless I've missed something. The reason I'm asking is because I thought about changing it on a dedicated server. If there's a command, would be easier. Otherwise would have to pull last save on the server, change the world modifier locally, then reupload to server. If anyone figures anything out, let me know! And as always Nick, thanks for the great videos!

[@CaptainBrash]

Awesome, actually took the plunge to play with some of the difficulty settings. Basically did hardcore but no portals, +1.5 resources and fewer base raids. I imagine base raids in hardcore require you to do terrain wall/ditch setup and I refuse to do that cheesy crap. xD I'd love them to patch out the terrain defenses, let monsters jump or climb and make terrain destructible.

[@westerxxx9220]

The way playere defends his base should be chosen by a player. Maybe somebody likes impenetrable castle, somebody likes it more challangable.

[@BetaKrogoth]

I was hoping for slightly more fidelity regarding the resource drop rates, like 30-50% more rather than 2x.

[@syntax49]

is it possible to change these options whenever you want?

[@TheTicTv]

when is this coming to valheim? thought it was may

[@mest9739]

Is this available to play yet since im in public test rn but dont see anything

[@changsplace]

Great video. Can this be set for server worlds?

[@nuone_9636]

Yes

[@jamesdowns3219]

Playing with my kids and I am basically going on to turn it into a building game with no worries of enemies

[@isdaone]

Does anyone know of a list for the modifiers in Devcommands? You can't modify the world on a dedicated server currently and I need to do it with devcommands.

[@PhilipKish]

Wish they would have included more quality of life things that we got from Valheim Plus, like increasing Stack Sizes.. Biggest complaint is the lack of items we can carry!

[@xav1954]

this is still in pub testing right?

[@fizzymilk2528]

I think there should be a setting for no boss summoning items, like Moder eggs.

[@NickRawcliffe]

Interesting idea

[@ProffessorYellow]

comment for the comment gods! be back after the content drops.

[@NickRawcliffe]

Ty bud

[@ProffessorYellow]

@NickRawcliffe anytime, I know how that algorithm works and I'm happy to drum up convos for ya. Great content 👌

[@Sladde81]

if someone could answer this .... the only question I cannot find an answer for is with the world modification sliders ..... everything I have seen is for hosted servers .... but what about for paid dedicated servers .... will this be available on my dedicated server and how will I get it to work

[@NickRawcliffe]

The answer is definitely yes. However the how part is not up to iron gate but the server providers themselves. However I suspect there will just be options in the dashboard somewhere. This information will be available to you once it hits love servers.

[@alroy43]

Thanks Nick!

[@NickRawcliffe]

Yw, ty for watching

[@henrikhenken2746]

hi, i dont have the modifiers when starting the game, could someone help me out. Is it not included in the base game ?

[@budzalmighty829]

Why I don't have this option to modify my World?

[@Kashmere34]

Yes, some of us console players aren't try hards like PC players 😅 happy they added these features!

[@RPLAsmodeus]

Am I going to have to start another server / world to spawn in the new content? I used the console to reveal my map 😮

[@marcforrester7738]

Use the Upgrade World mod, this is exactly what it's for.

[@shuussussussbzzz]

How do you get world edit??????

[@mydian76]

I wish they added a way to stop Seekers, Ticks, and Fuelings from spawning at night

[@user-up8sm9ws3n]

Just go to bed, then you don't get them

[@NickRawcliffe]

That’s actually a pretty cool idea for an option

[@vesper380]

Are these for console as well?

[@xx_flooziebeastkiller_xxia3743]

tbh I think the only settings I'll change are the portals and the resource gathering, combat I'll probably make harder lmao

Nice

Thank you, appreciate that

[@JS-wt8vf]

This is a great update but the colors chosen for the buttons in the UI are still not accessible for colorblind folks making them useless.

Casual mode - you dont drop any items. Casual death penalty - do not dropped equipped gear ??? Shouldnt casual DP be all items and easy be equipped gear?

portal items mean portal anything ? like can u teleport metals ?

@@NickRawcliffe Haven't tried, but is truly everything transportable - even tamed wolves, boars and loxes that are marked to follow? That would be really useful and natural option. It is pain to transport creatures between islands.

[@robertstan298]

Typo or oddity, but why does casual mode say NO SKILL DRAIN on death, but when you manually select "casual" from the on death slider, it says "MINIMAL" skill drain... So... which is it? Also, still a bit disappointed, I just want a mode where you don't lose any skill progress (never liked this mechanic, especially since it's percentile, not flat, making it much more painful the more "skillful" you are, making 100 skill in something virtually untenable for how long they take, odds are you'll die to something stupid anyway, no matter how good you are) and the rest VANILLA, I don't mind corpse runs if need be, just let me keep my skill progress (maybe more resources as well, so I can actually be creative with the building and not need a week of farming, would also partially circumvent the lame mechanic of having to deal with non-regenerating resources). Makes me sad now lol No skill drain should just be a tick box IMHO

[@squidmysterm]

Only thing i wish they would change is having all these options as check boxes. like i would love to not need a million resources, but i also still want some lvl of difficulty and get attack randomly. I like a few aspects of every option but not 1 option in totality.

[@user-up8sm9ws3n]

Alot of them are also separate check boxes.

[@TiaKatt]

You don't have to use the presets, you can customize.
