How many "Ship Setting" does one Valheim world place?

Ship Setting is placed by 3 separate generator rules — ShipSetting01: 100 placement attempts; ShipSetting03: 50 placement attempts; ShipSetting02: 100 placement attempts.

Where does Ship Setting spawn?

Ship Setting generates in Meadows and Deep North, under the “Everything” rule — it may place anywhere inside the biome, and only inside a forest area. Altitude: above 1 m or above 2 m.

How far is the nearest Ship Setting from spawn?

Measured over 600 sampled worlds, the closest copy was 8 m from the spawn area, the typical distance was 132 m, and in 9 worlds out of 10 it sat within 262 m. All distances are straight-line.

How much space does Ship Setting need to generate?

The generator keeps a 24 m exclusion radius clear around each placement and requires at least 128 m to the nearest similar placement, with terrain varying by no more than 3 m across the footprint. The exclusion radius is clearance the terrain must offer, not the size of the structure you walk into.

How it generates

Prefab	Per world	Biome area	Altitude	Min spacing	Footprint
ShipSetting01	100	Everything	above 1 m	≥ 128 m	24 m radius
ShipSetting03	50	Everything in forest only	above 2 m	≥ 64 m	24 m radius
ShipSetting02	100	Everything in forest only	above 2 m	≥ 64 m	24 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 3 / 2 / 2 m of height change across the footprint (no minimum) .
