Alpha 2. Needs Better Worlds 0.11.0 (in place of Better Continents) and Valheim 1.0.20.

• Alpha 2, a new world. UO's Trammel alone, in a 32 km Better Worlds world (radius 15,700 m, edge 300 m), seed ValtimaA2: 14 towns, 18 dungeon mouths, 9 shrines and 9 moongates where UO has them, biomes by UO region, and the hand-built start island with its own moongate. World 2 (Trammel + Felucca, Better Continents) stays as it was; characters, bank boxes, fame and karma, and quest progress carry over to Alpha 2.
• Better Worlds instead of Better Continents. The land, the alt biomes, 39 of UO's rivers and 60 streams (rivers.json), the towns' baked layer (placements.bcp, 1,191,793 pieces, drawn by BetterBakes) and the dungeons all come from Better Worlds 0.11.0. A dedicated server makes the world from the templates by itself; an admin then ends design mode with F7 → Finish design. VALtima's world folders are found in Better Worlds' world folder first, then its templates, then Better Continents' Directory.
• Dungeons on BetterDungeons. Despise (a MountainCave02 with UO's Despise creatures, a terrace and path up to its mouth) and Britain's graveyard crypt (a Crypt3 with UO's skeletons, zombies, spectres and wraiths) are run by Better Worlds' BetterDungeons, with Valheim's own crypts, caves and burial chambers: a reset every 3 hours of world time once nobody is inside, tombstones kept. VALtima's own dungeon module stands down when BetterDungeons is loaded and hands it the table (valtima-dungeons.json), the 15 Dungeons settings an admin changed from their defaults, the "valtima" creature dresser (UO names, scale fitted to the halls, stars, tint, leash) and the "valtima" chest filler (the treasure maps' loot at the chest's level). Admin command: bw_dungeon.
• Valheim's world, kept. The world keeps Valheim's dungeons, its bosses and their guide-stone ruins, Haldor, Hildir's camps and dungeons, the Bog Witch, and the locations of the mods on the server (ore mines, Skathi's spirit healers, Jewelcrafting's gem caves and gacha shrine, ValheimCuisine's hollowed trees), from the server's keep list. Eikthyr's 3 and Bonemass's 3 altars are placed by hand where the land fits them. Any random location that would land in a town's haven or on the start island is removed before its zone is made, and the server logs a census of every location kind at each start.
• Region spawns at seven times UO's counts on VALtima's Alpha 2 server (633 spawners; Count Scale 7, Max Per Spawner 150).
• Backpacks. Vendors and bankers reach into a carried Backpacks bag for coins and goods.
• Bankers hear a shout. With VikingOS's Always Shout on, every line was a shout and the bankers ignored it; they now listen to normal speech and shouts.
• Townsfolk walk with Valheim's own player walk.
• The radar. VikingOS's minimap shows Alpha 2's own picture, drawn from VALtima's maps (radar-alpha2); World 2's UO-colour radar is gone.
• Tested before release: a dedicated server made the world with the alpha server's full mod set and restarted cleanly; a client walked it (bank, backpack store and bank, guards, doors, moongate, VikingOS look, Despise with a reset).

The first early alpha (the plugin itself reports 0.0.18).

• World 2: Trammel and Felucca in one world. Both of UO's facets side by side, with a start island between them. The island has two docks, one for each land, a dirt road from the spawn to each, and a map pin on each dock ("Dock to Trammel", "Dock to Felucca").
• The towns are drawn by Better Continents (0.10.4's baked layer) instead of VALtima's own chunk objects: the same buildings, furniture, trees and lights, from the world folder's placements.bcp. An existing world gets new towns with one bc_bake load (dry run first, then confirm), with no new world needed. Community builds in the towns are credited in TOWN-CREDITS.txt beside the world.
• Felucca: its towns force PvP on, its guards still come for a grey in town, and killing there gives 30 % more fame and karma.
• Moongates: the gates are now MonkeyMagicMan's Woodland Portal, blue in Trammel and red in Felucca. They light up and swirl when they wake. Players can't build Valheim's own portals in a VALtima world (10 Moongates / Allow Portals is off).
• Townsfolk: the shopkeepers, crafters and guards wear their own bodies, carry their trade's tools, and work at their trade (cooks wipe, carpenters saw, fishermen fish, farmers hoe). They walk set routes and rest along the way, stop when a player stands close, and wait a while longer after a talk.
• Quests: Nomadicwar's community quests ship with the town quests (credits in quests/nomadicwar/CREDITS.yml). When the quest server is not ready yet, a client stops asking after its first failed try instead of flooding it.
• Territories: only the towns and the moongates' squares are TerroritySmellatory territories now, grouped under the two lands; UO's farm fields and named parts of towns are gone. A world's territory file that nobody has changed in game is upgraded by itself at the next start. TerroritySmellatory 0.4.1 draws territories only over the map you have uncovered.
• Start-up: VALtima's boot splash credits Iron Gate and Coffee Stain first, then the studios; VALtima's key art is the loading screen, and VALtima's 3D menu (Start, Settings, Quit) stands over Britain's square. The original UO intro film can be streamed from the menu on request (off by default; nothing of it is stored).

• A treasure chest stays shut while any of its guardians lives, at every level. UO did this at the first level only, but it guarded the higher levels with locks and traps that aren't built here. 12 Treasure Maps / Guardians Lock Chest To Level is now 6 (every level); 0 is UO's rule.
• Player claims keep UO's creatures out: when region spawns are on, no creature is made inside a TerroritySmellatory territory that has "No Monster Spawns" (on by default for every claim, and on the towns' havens). An owner who turns the flag off lets them in.
