How many "Stone Circle" does one Valheim world place?

A fresh world makes 25 placement attempts for Stone Circle.

Where does Stone Circle spawn?

Stone Circle generates in Meadows, under the “Everything” rule — it may place anywhere inside the biome, and only inside a forest area. Altitude: above 1 m.

How far is the nearest Stone Circle from spawn?

Measured over 600 sampled worlds, the closest copy was 14 m from the spawn area, the typical distance was 265 m, and in 9 worlds out of 10 it sat within 414 m. All distances are straight-line.

How much space does Stone Circle need to generate?

The generator keeps a 16 m exclusion radius clear around each placement and requires at least 200 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
StoneCircle	25	Everything in forest only	above 1 m	≥ 200 m	16 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 m of height change across the footprint (no minimum) .
