Import your world into Valheim

Importing a Valheim world allows you to continue exploring and building in a previously played world, whether it was played on another computer or created by another player. This can be particularly useful if you want to resume progress in the same world, even if you're no longer using the same computer or playing with the same group of players.

Additionally, it's a great way to share your creations with other players or customize an existing world to suit your needs. For example, you can import a world created by another player and then modify or expand it as you wish.
