Infested Mine — Valheim Location
Infested Mine world-generation rules in Valheim 1.0: how many copies a world places, the biome and altitude it needs, its spacing and footprint, and how far the nearest copy sits from spawn.
Mine Mistlands Verified 1.0
If the name comes up struck through, this world has no room for it — type your own seed and the map looks again.
Nearest copy over 600 sampled worlds generated by our world map: closest seen 5,904 m, typical 6,028 m, and in 9 worlds out of 10 within 6,083 m — straight-line from the spawn area.
How it generates
| Prefab | Per world | Biome area | Altitude | Min spacing | Footprint |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mistlands_DvergrTownEntrance1 | 120 | Median | above 12 m | ≥ 256 m | 20 m radius |
| Mistlands_DvergrTownEntrance2 | 120 | Median | above 1 m | ≥ 256 m | 32 m radius |
- Biome area — “Median” means the zone and all eight of its neighbours must share the biome, so it never generates on a biome border; “Everything” may place anywhere inside the biome.
- Footprint is the exclusion radius the generator keeps clear around the piece, not the size of the structure you walk into.
- Per world counts placement attempts, so a number here is an upper bound — terrain checks decide how many actually land (see the sampled-worlds figures above). unique is a separate flag: the table checks it once before placement begins, to skip re-rolling these on a world that already exists, and it does not cap the attempts a fresh world makes.
- Terrain tolerance — the generator allows up to 40 / 40 m of height change across the footprint, with a minimum of 5 / 0 m .

Common questions
- How many "Infested Mine" does one Valheim world place?
- Infested Mine is placed by 2 separate generator rules — Mistlands_DvergrTownEntrance1: 120 placement attempts; Mistlands_DvergrTownEntrance2: 120 placement attempts.
- Where does Infested Mine spawn?
- Infested Mine generates in Mistlands, under the “Median” rule — the zone and all eight of its neighbours must share the biome. Altitude: above 12 m or above 1 m.
- How far is the nearest Infested Mine from spawn?
- Measured over 600 sampled worlds, the closest copy was 5,904 m from the spawn area, the typical distance was 6,028 m, and in 9 worlds out of 10 it sat within 6,083 m. All distances are straight-line.
- How much space does Infested Mine need to generate?
- The generator keeps a 32 m exclusion radius clear around each placement and requires at least 256 m to the nearest similar placement, with terrain varying by no more than 40 m across the footprint. The exclusion radius is clearance the terrain must offer, not the size of the structure you walk into.
