Valheim 1.0 added one extra value to the calls that put an item into a station, and changed how a mead barrel records what is in it. Neither is a large change. Between them they stopped every Bone Servant working, at every station in the game, and quietly took the Aswid's four-times fermentation away.
Alongside those: the radial menu, flight on a gamepad, and six fixes to the Sverm's colony.
Three tester reports against the Bone Servant, all with the same shape: the servant was doing exactly what the code said, and the code said the wrong thing. Alongside those, an input gate that let abilities fire through the build menu, and a Sverm beehive cap that was configured but never actually read.
Queen and Fader Skeletons were always supposed to raise a tamed ally from every kill. Nothing ever rose. Five separate bugs were stacked on top of each other, and this release clears all five.
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.
Every race can now be retuned without touching a line of code. Nine races are grouped into three factions that stop a slice of the world attacking you and let some of it trade with you instead. And two visual bugs that have been quietly wrong since their races shipped are fixed.
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 Aswid's Vampiric Aura learns to finish what it starts, and the Skeleton finally stops being nagged about food it cannot eat.
