How do you get this mod to work? I've downloaded all the mod and it's dependencies via Vortex. I have no idea where I'm supposed to load this from or what to do at this point. There's no option on bettercontinents to load it. There isn't a seed. There is no guidance on where to put any of the files manually.
Great map so far, I like that the boss locations are more thematic, the biomes are larger and the central islands with a large far away continent is really great in my opinion.
One question though, has anyone been able to find the vendor yet? So far I'm searching the big island in the middle but I haven't found him yet. No worries but I would like to start selling all my gems so they stop taking so much space haha.
I spent a couple days searching as well and ended up downloading the Locator mod in order to find him, it lets you type a /locatetrader command into a console which marks him on your map if you're getting frustrated.
I won't tell you where he is exactly because I do think youre supposed to struggle to find him (the map is difficult on purpose), but to give you a clue - he's on the outer edge of the outer ring, not the inside edge, if that makes sense.
Greetings, your map seems brilliant to me, can I use it on a dedicated server? and if so, does everyone need to have the best continent and its map? Or is it just enough that it is in the host?Greetings, your map seems brilliant to me, can I use it on a dedicated server? and if so, does everyone need to have the best continent and its map?

I'm not sure? I have zero experience hosting servers in Valheim, basically just started playing myself end of December. I know the map works fine on Multiplayer, but I don't know if clients connecting need BC installed themselves. I'd say try testing it to see if it works?
are there specific instructions to using this map? i have downloaded all dependencies but i do not see the map under the better continents tab when starting a new world? using vortex to install. nvm i figured it out:P
This is where you place the map: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local Have Bepinex and Better Continents mods installed for the profile you are using.
you don't... it's a savegame. I am wondering if there are any maypoles hidden on the map, maybe? btw, the map looks awesome. The mountains look like an actual mountain chain, the meadows like a proper meadows, the black forest like a huge forest. A GIANT SEA!!! A desert where if you are left "thirsty" you die swarmed by fullings. A couple of islands here and there with some bees or houses or something and it would be complete. Planning to do a modded run with V+ and backpacks, no map. Definetely a map to play on, especially if it's a first playthrough.
@piciupitik: Speaking of bees and houses, the 1.1 update added a bunch of content in regards to that. Also, there are some, how can I say it, "residents" in many of the locales. Maypoles, there are a few, scattered around the world. Won't say exactly where though. :D
Also, speaking of islands, that's a good idea for a later update, peaceful little islands directly adjacent to, say, some of the hairer biomes.
