Valheim update brings a new and improved stacking feature
Valheim has stood the test of time as a fun survival game to always go back to, with a unique Viking setting and whimsical yet punishing gameplay. Iron Gate Studio continues to regularly update the game, making changes to its public test branch before implementing them in the full-release version of Valheim so as to see what players think about them. The latest public test update has just dropped, bringing the branch to 0.217.13, and it comes with bug fixes and an especially useful new feature.
The Valheim patch notes reveal a few interesting additions, such as an increased chance of certain enemies spawning and various issue resolutions. The most significant feature added with the update is the re-implementation of the ‘quick stack all’ hotkey. The public test branch of Valheim now lets you use the hotkey again, this time to open the chest, stack items as you please, and then close the chest.
Valheim’s lead designer made a post accompanying the new feature, expressing how pleased he is “to say that a new and improved stack all hotkey is now released.” The designer noted how much “better” the new hotkey should feel, writing that, “One simple long key press will open the chest, stack items, and then close it.”
This is one feature included with an update I’m especially happy to hear about, especially following the previous public test branch patch. As the Iron Gate Studio revealed, “After the last PTB patch a lot of you were upset that we did some changes to the newly added quick-stack function.” Before detailing all of the other changes, the dev went on to declare, “Hopefully this is a change that will make most of you happy.”
