Exploring Valheim’s world sometimes means key locations like traders or special biomes are hard to find or too far apart. Today, we will use Expand World Data (EWD), a tool by the same developer as EWP, to improve how Valheim places these locations on the map. This method lets us change the underlying rules the game uses for procedural generation, making the world easier to navigate and more logically arranged. Or more chaotic. Whatever floats your Longship.
We will:
Use EWD to customize location placement rules, specifying biomes, altitude, and distance constraints to control exactly where important spots appear.
Adjust how many locations spawn and their distribution, giving us a tailored world that balances exploration with accessibility.
By working through these steps, we will see how to overcome the limits of Valheim’s default world generation and create a more (or less) player-friendly environment. Watch as we dive into these changes and learn how to make your Valheim map smarter and more rewarding to explore.
