The Iron Gate team released another update for Valheim today. The last patch for the game was three weeks ago. According to the creators, it took a little longer because they were waiting for a special update for the Steam client. Since this has now been published, the green light for “Version 0.148.6” has now been given.
The update focuses on many small improvements in various areas of the title. Fireplaces will be damaged in the future if they deal damage themselves. In doing so, the creators prevent a popular method by which materials could be made through the fire while players are busy with other tasks.
In addition, drops from bosses can now also swim on the water. The complete patch notes for the update can be found at the end of the message.
