Jötunn 2.30 compatibility, the Trol's stomach learning the difference between a meal and a mead, and the first half of making a gamepad a real way to play this mod: every transformed form can attack from one now.
Valheim has exactly one flight, and it is the debug-fly flag the developers use to move around their own game. The Aswid's bat has always flown on it. What nobody had read closely is what vanilla does with that flag: it treats the player as not really present. Six methods act on it, and between them they meant a bat could not be seen, heard, woken for, or hurt.
That, a night-only restriction that had never once been enforced, and Skadi's spells finally paying into a skill.
One fix, and it's a multiplayer-only one: the peace every race is supposed to have with part of the world was silently failing for anyone who wasn't the client hosting the mob.
This build also swapped the Sverm's Yagluth form, which never made it into the changelog at the time — see the second half of this post.
Permanent claws were a standing annoyance disguised as a feature: an unremovable item sitting in a slot for the rest of the run, whether you wanted it in your hand or not. This release turns them into something you reach for instead of something you're stuck with — and fixes a race whose own frost resistance was quietly cancelling out the resistance you paid gold or a wolf pelt for.
Two disarmed skeletons who work a station for you, and two cleanup bugs that had been leaving things behind: claws in your inventory, and basic materials off a faction merchant's shelf.
Two versions at once, because only one of them actually shipped as its own number. v1.4.1
never got a manifest.json bump of its own — its commits rode inside the v1.4.2 release, so
this post covers both under v1.4.2's real date. Where the two overlap below, that is why.
The tenth race, a flying mount, and every existing race gets something to build.
Dragons get a sprint, a reverse gear and the ability to climb out of the sea. The Skeleton's progression finally does what its description has said all along. And three races stop being invisible to everyone but themselves.
The eighth race arrives, and it is the first one whose power has nothing to do with fighting. The Aswid's aura stops missing what is standing next to you, and transforming stops quietly spending your Guardian Power.
Returning from a monster form stops replaying the animation you see when you join a world, remote dragons finally move and stay in the air, Trols are the right size for everyone else, and the Aswid keeps what it has eaten through death.
The seventh race arrives, races stop being console-only to manage, Skadi's costs move off eitr entirely, and the Aswid's Vampiric Aura stops quietly halving its own damage.
