The HappyDiggers Valheim server currently runs an unmodded version of Valheim. This is a password protected server, but you can find the password here in this thread. Our basic server rules (https://happydiggers.net/content.php?117&tabid=107) apply. We don't yet have a lot of experience with this game so we're figuring things out as we go along. This means things can change without notice, but I doubt we'll get into any serious issues with this one.

Server IP: valheim.happydiggers.net:2457
Password: HappyDiggers01
Note that the password uses capitol letters 'H' and 'D'.

To join the server you may want to add it to your Favorites servers in Steam. Here is how you can do this:

In Steam click on 'View' and then 'Servers'.
4165


Click on the 'Favorites' tab and click the 'ADD A SERVER' button.
4166


Enter the server's IP address (valheim.happydiggers.net:2457) and click the 'ADD THIS ADDRESS TO FAVORITES'.
4167


The server is now added to your favorites and it should show the server name and map that it's currently running.
Click the server and then click the 'CONNECT' button.
4168


Enter the server password listed above and click the 'CONNECT' button.
4169


Valheim should now be launched and take you to the character select screen. If Valheim was already running when you clicked the 'CONNECT' button, you'll be taken here as well.
Select your character and click the 'Start' button.
4170


You will be prompted for the server password once more. No idea why you need to enter it twice. Enter the password listed above and press the <ENTER> key.
4171


The level should load and you should see the text '<Your Name>: I have arrived'.

The server is managed through our own custom scripts. It's restarted in case of crashes and will check for Valheim updates every 15 minutes and install them automatically when found. Given the early state this game is in there are very few admin-stuff features included. If the server is updated it will shutdown without warning since we can't give an automated warning at this point. As more features get added to the game I hope to expand the custom scripts to take advantage of this and add more quality of life features such as server notices.

In case anything goes wrong please let us know and feel free to post thoughts and suggestions.
