Here's my guess. The game world uses a seed for terrain generation much like minecraft. There's a forced fixed "world border" "biome" where the ocean starts and the water falls down and there's flat land. When you go out past that "World border ocean biome" the seeded terrain generation is still actively in effect which gives you this terrain. The terrain itself is just the ocean floor texture with the seeded noise generation creating those small hills and such. [biome_ashlands] is probably the default tag for the mini-map when the game doesn't know where you are. I think this is just a quirk of the game engine and not any WIP area, personally. Cool video though, I love OOB content from games, very interesting.

an observation, if you will...in norse mythology the realm of fire was called Muspelheim (Moo-spell-hame) and was home to the fire giants. Part of me has a theory that when you collect all the boss heads in the first part of the main game and unlock the path to valhalla, one of the challenges will be to defeat the fire giant Surtr on the plains of Muspelheim. From all observances of this game thus far, it seems like the developers have the tools to potentially craft all nine realms with their own bosses. Even though Valheim is still in alpha stage, i can see the potential for future DLC's located within the game through the central altar where you placed all the trophy heads to unlock powers. Of course, this is huge speculation on my part, without a shred of evidence other than a gut feeling, but there is the potential for such a thing to be created and that has me excited for the game. I mean, why else to generate a far land beyond the edges of the map full of rage and fire, unless someone intends to create a small pocket instance further down the road where we go toe to toe with the demon lord of the flame itself....Surtr. That being said, if.....and i mean a massive "IF"....you happen to stumble across a massive section of mist and ice in the valheim farlands (a.k.a. Jotunheim), i would be more confirmed in my theory that the valheim farlands are intended as placeholders for future DLC's that a player can only reach after completing the main game.

Game dev here. I think I can explain a few things. So video games have a hard time computing large cartesian coordinates (X,Y) simple because big numbers are a pain to deal with. It's often times better to just round to nearest whole numbers or numbers that are more easily more divisible by 8. So rather than having a player at (1^10, 1^10) or a number that would cause a stack overflow. It's just easier to round the numbers down and use the carry bit and finish the computation. So in order to get the coordinates of a player first the engine has to do a lot of math. Well, sometimes when all the rounding and carrying is done the frame is already rendered. So you get this jiggly effect where the computer thinks the player is in one coordinate but has already moved before the computation is finished. So you get this rubber banding effect. To solve this a lot of games with a large map will move the environment instead of the player. So technically the player is always at (0,0) but as they are running, sailing or flying around the environment just moves towards or away from the camera. This is a really good technique so that the player never has to do big math as they move farther away from (0,0). Obviously Valheim developers didn't know or chose not to use this technique. And because the game uses procedural rules to spawn the biomes we get stuff like this. Obviously it's an area of the game not meant to be explored. I look at it like the devs saying. "Hey don't go here it's a waste of processing power."

@diobrando2160

That's not correct at all? When do you ever round to integers or numbers divisible by 8? There might be value in rounding to powers of 2 for very specific cases, but certainly not in general 3D transformations. Floating point numbers work fine except when they reach the upper bounds of their range, where precision is lowest, which is the cause of jittering and incorrect results in games. Obviously using higher precision types (eg double precision floats) will increase the useful range. There should not be any speed differences between operations on floats, regardless of numeric size. I don't see what stack overflows have to do with anything? the size of data types is fixed to X number of bytes.

The engine itself is 64 bit but the transform math isn't, which is why if you get away more than 5000 units from origin you'll start experiencing floating point errors, and the accuracy of the transform location isn't accurate to a mm or cm anymore ( you can assume 1 unit = 1 meter ). This means that the location of any transform can change variably and cause the jitter you see the further away you go from origin.

Given the similarities, perhaps this area was what the Ashlands were supposed to be before they changed it for a volcano like place? I honestly would prefer the South to be a desert instead of a region of fire, though. It's more akin to what we used to aknowledge in the world. But the game is set in Norse Mythology, so deserts might not be present for this reason while those sort of ashlands, they might be part of it. Still, all mythology aspects apart, the Vikings travelled to many places, not only they reached North America in the West, but they also sailed into rivers in Eastern Europe, reaching places like Ukraine, Russia, Caucasus and eventually ending up even in the Black Sea, the Mediterranean and the Middle East, where they probably got in touch with deserts and so forth. I don't know if those trips were recorded in their Sagas, but the Historic precedent is real. Vikings have been to deserts back in the day.

With 4 more bosses being added and each boss having its own biome, I very much envision a huge Sand Worm being one of those bosses. Bear in mind The Ocean is a Biome itself too!

RE: Fire dudes not attacking you, while you are flying in debug mode, nothing will aggro you.

To me, it seems to be the prototype Ashlands, as in the first build of it, seeing as the terrain is similar(obviously omitting the color, which pretty much just looks changed to black for ash) and the enemies are the same. Although, using it as a base template it could certainly lead to a potential desert biome, which I would really like to see considering the new additions they could bring to the game like sandstone, oasis’, and potentially spices to make new foods or potions among other things.

Seems like they're just testing out new Ashlands features out there... e.g. heat damage similar to Mountain biome's freeze.

Now that's some pirate's of the Caribbean at world end type shit.

This could also be like a "testing" area used while they design the game, to test out enemy beaviors or something?

There's a fire resist potion you can brew in the fermentation barrels. I assume once ashlands is complete you'll need it to enter at first just like needing cold res in mountains; the death damage you were talking about is probably an early build of this. Should try going back out there with one of them potions in effect.

"The game kinda fights with you" I'm guessing maybe this is floating point imprecision because you're just so far from the engine's zero coordinate? Although it's a 64 bit engine, so maybe not.

I think I can explain most of this... The game uses terrain generation, like most games these days, instead of a "Map"... it's basically a few different 'noise' sets that tell the game how high to make the terrain, and they use several overlapping noise files to keep it from looking repetitive. They use the heights of these terrains to do a few things, like set the water level and designate Mountains biomes. The terrain generation looks to be always present, no matter how for away you've gone. One thing to note, is that the heights of the next generated chunk of terrain is linked to the last one, so that you don't run into a sudden cliff when there's a mountain biome. The Deep North and Ashlands are not defined by the seed. While the terrain inside the biomes is randomly generated, the borders to these regions don't change. This means that there would be other normal biomes here if it wasn't for the devs specifically overriding the terrain generation. So, these function similar to the Mountain Biome, in that they overwrite the terrain gen. Another terrain overwrite would be the world border. It was probably easier to just let the terrain continue generating, than to end it entirely. So, they've probably made a donut shape that has a center whole the size of the world map, and is thick enough to not see the other side of it. This could technically be a new biome, just unlisted, and so it would show the last visited biome instead. This is a critically important biome and it would be one of the last biome rules loaded, so it gets applied ontop of any other biome that was loaded. Water would also stop being generated past this point. The deep north and ashlands use a similar masking feature to define them. They both probably use a circle and anything outside of that circle is their biome. Make the circle as big as the world map, then move it down slightly, and suddenly you're left with a crescent shaped bit of deep north poking out. It has to do these one at a time, so next do the same with ashland, but move it up. Now, you're left with a small cresent shape of Deep North at the top of the map, but infinite expanses of ashlands past the world border. The issue with not being able to stand still or shifting around outside the world border is pretty common though. Valheim uses floating point numbers to calculate your location. Floats are pretty accurate with small numbers, but get more inaccurate the further away from 0 you get. They work by having a set number of digits and a floating decimal (point). So, one valid number might be 123456, adding the point in could give us a very accurate location of 12.3456 . But, it could also go the other way, as 12345.6 . Now we can only move the player by .1 units instead of .0001 units. Any little thing such as gravity affecting the player suddenly is having to move the player by tiny amounts and the game has to guess where that might put you now, and those tiny movements of .0001 are now 1000 times stronger, since the number can only make changes by the tenths. Many large games get past this by either restricting players to smaller chunks that are links together, or by keeping the player always at 0,0,0 and simply moving the world around to make it LOOK like the player is moving. Game development is a fascinating thing to study. :P

Fly mode gives you ghost mode so you don’t get shot out of the sky

I think what this is is the terrain didn’t stop generating, so for some reason it uses ashlands, likely due to something with how biomes generate. Certain biomes only generate further out: meadows and black forest are the only two that can spawn at the center, except rarely mountains, and then swamp a little further, then plains and more mountains, then nearing the edge you can find mistlands, then at the northernmost edge is deep north, and southernmost is ashlands. I believe that due to these biomes being forced to spawn and others being unable to, only the ashlands will spawn as a way of preventing anything else from spawning that far out. I don’t know why there’s not just void or ocean, but i have no idea what goes on in that code

I dont think this is a new biome, but it looks like ashlands soil goes to sand at sea level, so this could still be regular ashlands, just that it is all below 'sea level'. Its extra weird just because there is no water there

Looks like a beta testing area for the Ashland, and would make sense they are testing heat effects as the flame metal ore will need to be used to survive it

I think those are some test maps the devs put there and make some experiments, maybe they will add some extra content in the future regarding those, i don't know, maybe they will make some fixed portals that will lead the player into those lands but, for sure it will be content for those in the future if they decide to put it. Anyway, those mobs doesn't react to you because you're in the fly mode, you need to exit the fly mode (Z key) and stand on the ground to be able for the mobs to detect you. Every mob detects player when it is spawn in the world, when using Z key (fly mode) game makes your character literally invisible but those textures and collision meshes of the player character is still visible to you and that is for easy fly through than just using camera alone without leading point (regarding that you can use the fly cam as well). So, when in the "Z-mode" and as you fly around you can interact with the map but the npc's can't interact with the player, and when you use just camera to move around you can't interact with map than just fly thorough, you just literally moving the camera and nothing else in that case and without loading the map essentials. That's will be difference between the Fly mode and Camera mode in any game so far. Let me simplify like this for those who are lost in my comment :D 1. Fly mode (character is invisible to the NPC's on the map and can fly around, in one word, character is tightened to the camera) 2. Camera mode (character stays in one place, camera moves around, player can't interact with map because he is literally standing still in one spot) I know lot's of people know that but Just in case someone don't, that's the reason why this comment is so long LoL Hope it helps a little and sorry for long comment, keep up the good work :D :D

A few theories: 1- the terrain is just procedurary generated and created. No "new biome" just a "Placeholder" One, problably because they antes beach or sand to be the placeholder. Creatures spawn either for a bug or because the biome spawn them. (most likely) 2- This is a planed feature not yet implemented. I immagine a special portal that takes you to the "dead lands" or the after life. So here is the final question. If "hell" is under you. What is on top of you, in the sky? Vallhala?

Hi there, Valheim creates the world with a procedural generated Landmass and Biomes on it. After that, it is raised up in a Circle, as you clearly can see in the video that the land drops straight down after passing the edge. So that what you see there is the ground of the Shores and Ocean. Normally there is no way to get there... so the game doesn't create these landmasses nor spawn creatures on it. If IronGate decides to create a bigger World then I think they can do it by making the Circle bigger. I hope you understand what I try to say....

It would make sense. Meadows, Forest, Tundra/Snowy Moutain, Swamp all we are missing is a Desert and (Tropical) Jungle Biome.

@@anonymerdackel8513 Oh cool, so you are an expert on Norse mythology then? Or do you know the devs IRL and they told you that? Because the last time I read about Yggdrasil (the Tree that you see in-game when you look up) it says something along the lines of Yggdrasil stands in the center of all nine worlds. What they are and what they look like, I don't know, but you surely can educate me on that since you seem to be an expert on that topic saying something like that with certainty.

@@CrazyCircles1 well yeah the nine worlds are referring too mythical worlds not physical midgård (Earth) is were we live. The eight others how all the other creatures of Norse mythology but that’s irrelevant. Vikings only lived in Scandinavia and the settlements they had around Europe so they would never have seen jungles meaning they couldn’t have written stories about them and for deserts the closest desert to Scandinavia would be in the middle east and I don’t think any Viking who went to the Middle East returned so no vikings wouldn’t know jungles or deserts

Take a moment to appreciate that those fish survived falling over the edge of the world, those fish deserve respect. They didn't need ANY dev commands

Well.. they said that the end-game plan would be at least 9 biomes, each with their own forsaken bosses. The game is very promising, and very addicting as well. Been spending a lot of time playing it since release.

That 'Desert biome' is to Valheim probably what the Void is to Subnautica. Thinking about it, they could also spawn some kind of instant death monster like the Ghost Leviathans on the edge

I think the Mistlands have been removed for the time being. The areas I've visited have been deleted.

I found a Mistland on my map today, and for what I saw of this biome, I wish it was deleted

The surtlings weren't reacting to you because flymode makes you invisible, just like if you type ghost. They would probably attack you without fly mode on (but with god mode enabled so you don't insta die)

All you found was a PU outside of the kill barrier. That initial terrain was seafloor then you traveled into an PU where you're at the south of the parallel northern map.

"little" waterfall, yeah..

I had actually never seen the Ashlands until I watched this so seeing both of these biomes for the first time I would have to disagree. Same enemies, same heat effect, similar ground structuring. The only differences I see are lighting and ground color. My guess is that they were developing the desert biome first and then decided that a plain desert wasn't grand enough so they switched gears and turned that idea into the Ashlands. Just a guess though. Great video, btw :)

I'm going to try and go south, to see if there is a secret deep north biome there edit: It's just more ashlands. all of Valheim is surrounded by ashlands.

This reminds me of subnautica's map edges. Its also all flat when you reach a crazy depht, but you technically can reach it in survival (good luck with 3 ghost leviathans trying to prevent you from doing that)

The odd glitchy behaviour is actually a unity engine limitation; it's a number too large from the map origin and your position data gets messed up in rounding/floating point errors. As for the biome you found, it's likely also a bug that is so improbable to access without cheating that the Devs aren't going to spend time on it. Fun to theorise there's more content though 🙂

Have you flown to "The Big Tree" to see where it's coming from?🧐😲 I wonder if anyone has.🤔 That's something I may try soon.😄

my friend, it's a Procedurally Generated world. what your exploring was generated via a randomizing script. it'll have all the class enharetence of any other biom. The devs said they left it in there for the hell of it. The surtlings aren't targeting you because your Flying, nothing agros you on the flight. What your probably looking at is the default land class rendered without any of the "biom spesific" extentions

@@BubbaNak Actually, it comes from the "end of the world" mechanics. without debug and god mode, that huge waterfall at the end of the world naturally sucks you out and off of it, killing you, and it seems that said "sucking" mechanic is just everywhere outside the world borders.

Now that the Ashlands update is out, I explored this again, and now it is the wip Ashlands with the greenish black texture and red sky and the soundtrack, it is interesting.

So you went to the edge dropped down and continued out, which was very interesting. If you drop down off the edge are you able to go thru the waterfall underneath the world map? Is there anything at the center?

heh, what could be cool is that after beating all of the game you can craft a sandsailer, and travel beyond the world on the dunes to a different one, potentially one of the worlds you already created.

not even a recolour, just look underwater in the ashlands its completely identical, and this is waaaay below the games general water level so i feel its literally just underwater ashlands without the water cause of the world edge

It is an artefact of the procedural generation, kind of like the farlands were in minecraft, it is defaulting terrain generation to the ashlands most likely due to the ashlands being the last entry in an array of terrain types and the number generation is beyond expected values and being reduced to the max value it will accept to prevent fatal errors

it's just a train around the playable environment of the game. the reason you could find anything to interact with there is the procedurally generated Components of the game.

It may just be the mesh honestly. Cause the two terrains looked similar but obv, the second had no water. I know in Conan the whole upper right section of the exiles map is just dungeons and places you go that load. So this could be a mesh, but idek. Still really cool to see.

Congratulations you found Australia

I've always assumed that they plan on expanding the world we're currently able to walk on. Could be that or something else entirely

So the game is procedurally generated, and the biomes are conditioned by distance from the center of the map. It is likely that the procedural generation isn't programmed to "stop", but outside the bounds of the map, it seems the generation defaults to an ashlands biome value. This is why the terrain topography is similar, as well as the biome designation in the map. But the texture loads likely don't work outside the bounds of the map, so it defaults to an ocean floor texture. Basically this environment is a default setting that the procedural generation resorts to when generating outside the map. It's likely not even something that's programmed. It could be a series of null values that default to random ones when the generator no longer knows what to do. If they were to turn off procedural worldgen outside of map boundaries, this wouldn't happen.

The mobs ignores you while you’re in free fly, and also there are surtlings in Ashlands so yeah it is pretty much Ashlands

This is just ashlands biome generating past world boundaries with ocean floor textures. definitely nothing to do with desert but still neat. If you've ever used the seafloor walking boots mod you'll immediately realize this.

Imagine the world is connected to the tree and towards the end you cut the branch that holds the world and it falls down, level with this biome to explore.

Seems more like just the bottom of the ocean texture, also stuff won't target you while flying.

(Old Norse: “Múspellsheimr”) was created at the same time as Niflheim but it was created far to the south of the world in Norse mythology. Muspelheim is a burning hot place, filled with lava, flames, sparks, and soot.

I hope that in the future there’ll be a way to travel to the massive tree branch above the world. Some way to climb it or something.

Imagine walk into that dessert biomes and then suddenly it changed into mad max game

I tested this for science also. Just a tip, the higher you fly and move forward you can get around the world faster. Great vid.

mobs dont attack you when you're in debug fly, if you're wondering why there was no aggro

Valheim dev's do this kinda stuff for everything. They have console commands for items as well that arent supposed to exist.. It's basically a testing zone for them.

Yeah I found this place last week. Thought it was weird and it goes on forever. I went straight for about 20 min no change. If anyone goes out there make sure to type in you get your corrodents so you can tp back to the map lol. Or just do 100 100 should put you somewhere in the world

Once you hit a certain hight when lowering the ground you will get the beach sandish look and since you were over -9000 is why that ashlands looked like desert.

clearly its just the ashlands biome with the sea floor texture over it, its not as different from the ashlands as you make it out to be. it's like saying a yellow camry doesnt at all resemble a blue camry. it still gives coal when you dig, it still spawns surtlings, and the shape of the land is exactly the same. i dont think theres much to see here

The surtlings didnt aggro because you were flying. You can fly right through a goblin camp and they wont react.
