Please note: this information may change as the team continues to discuss the best way for this all to work since it's dramatically different from Satisfactory
Although we have completed seven successful events, this is our first time putting on a Valheim event of this format.

10

Commands

Participants will also use debug commands to spawn in any décor items necessary to complete their build

  • A list of item names will be provided for participants, chat may assist with item names in real time should a participant not know an item name...
  • Participants may not use any items that are in the code, but do not spawn naturally in the world [e.g. blue mushrooms]

Saving

Download the save files from the discord channel, usually saved in your Downloads folder/directory. Keep this open.

Press Win+R to open it, then enter/type appdata and press Enter. This should open up a new file explorer window.

Go into LocalLow > IronGate > Valheim > worlds_local (if this doesn't exist, please create a new folder/directory).

Select the two files from your downloads folder, something like pio_val_03 (if you have file extensions on you will see the .fwl and .db at the end)

Copy or drag them to your worlds_local folder and rename them, incrementing the number by 1: pio_val_00 would become pio_val_01 for your slot number

Participants do not need to be notable, well known, or consistent streamers, however they do need to know how to handle 75+ people in their chat at a given time in terms of moderation, safety and management.

Participants must have active moderators who are also familiar and comfortable with handling 75+ people in chat.

It is also requested that vip or mod is given (just for the event) to at least one of the Pass It On Coordination team to ensure no messages get blocked (like speed messaging), so they can talk freely and to assist in general during your stream.
