Server(s)

I'm using a Steam ID whitelist (and for now a weak password). Here is a link telling how to get your Steam ID. Send me your ID to get in.

I may ditch the PW if the whitelist is sufficient, for now though the password is: 123456

Presently I am self-managing the servers with some scripts I wrote, but there is an available "Game Server Manager" that might be interesting to try. Info can be found here.

The servers reboot on Mondays at 10am Central US time (UTC -6) because when I let it run continuously it got really laggy and weird. See the Weekly Reboot section below for more information. I can change the reboot time if it is in the middle of anyone's best play time.

MODs

The Valheim devs have a comment about MODs.

I use a few handy quality of life MODs - mostly because I'm bad at clicking things. Here is a partial list:

I use Vortex as my MOD manager and game launcher. You can get it here. (Be aware that the Nexus web site is not a forum. When posting, limit your replies to the MODs or the Vortex software.)

All MODs require unstriped versions of the Unity DLLs and most require a toolkit called BepInEx. These are not available on the nexusmods website, so the best place to get them in a combined package is here.

• Vortex comes with a built in config editor but this one is better link.
• Show on your UI the number of arrows you have left without opening inventory link.
• Ladders make the view jitter when climbing and makes me seasick, this fixes it link.
• Gravity is the most dangerous enemy in the game - don't fall while you are building link.
• Placing rail fences is haphazard, this MOD adds snap points to them link.
• Don't accidently kill your baby farm animals link.
• Planting can ruin seeds if you click too closely together, here is a spacer link.
• Once the game is out of early release they'll add search and filters to the crafting tables, but for now link.

Be careful with MODs after a patch, they may work just fine or they may start deleting your stuff!

FPS

• How to enable FPS display in Steam games. (link)
• How to increase FPS in Valheim. (link)
• Many tame animals, buildings, or terrain modifications will reduce your FPS. Press F2 to see nearby 'instances' - you may need to enable the console to see this data.

Satisfactory

Global Players Hide

If your favorite bookmarking isn't working, you may need to update the IP address ( 47.186.35.26 with default port ). Delete your old server conneciton and create a new one.

Website Plans

There will be a dedicated Discord link "soon" for chatter, at present we're squatting on a gaming channel from Stormtossed Inc.

There is a Steam group, ask for an invite if I forget. This group covers several gaming and hobby topics in addition to Valheim and Satisfactory.

There will be wiki, right here, "soon" for more persistent info.

Weekly Reboot

The server was getting laggy after being up for a few days on end. The solution was a weekly restart of the game. During the downtime an external backup of the world is made and periodically moved offsite.

You will get an audible 10 minute warning before the server reboots (on Day of weeks at Time of day server time) in the same voice you were welcomed to this page if you leave the page open and unmuted.

• Server time: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS.
• Next game server restart: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS.
• Countdown to game server reboot/backup: .
• The page will auto reload one hour before reboot (at 9:00 AM server time).
