Players can either back these files up to a different place on their computer or they can upload them to some sort of cloud service to keep them safe. The characters folder will hold all the data for a player's avatars, with save data that keeps track of what's in their inventories, what armor they are wearing, and the weapons and tools they carry. Inside the Valheim folder under LocalLow, there will be a folder labeled "Worlds" and a folder labeled "Characters." "Worlds" will save overall player progress in an individual Valheim world seed, regardless of the number of players that use the world. RELATED: Valheim Player Creates US Navy Warship Lucky for players, the process to back up a world is very easy. This is what makes having regular backups of all worlds absolutely necessary. In spite of the fact that this particular bug has been patched, there is no guarantee that another won't worm its way into Valheim's code. Valheim is still in early access, and although it is as bug-free as possible, there is always the possibility of data loss. Back in February, a Valheim bug was discovered that could destroy saved states and entire worlds, leading some players to lose all the hours that had been poured into their save file. Thankfully, there is an easy way to back up a Valheim seed to ensure that players never lose too much. Then, several hours in, the world crashes due to a bug and is no longer recoverable. Imagine this: a player new to Valheim begins to explore their world, pouring hours and hours into building the best possible Valheim base, defeating bosses, and crafting better armor.
