After half a year, Survival-Hitvalheim finally receives his first content update. With Hearth & Home, new features appear and many existing content will be revised. Meinmmo tells you everything you need to know.
What is this for an update? After many smaller updates and patches Hearth & Home is the first big step on the Content Plan of the Developers. Since the ear-access start on Steam in February 2021 fans are already waiting for replenishment.
Originally, Hearth & Home should already appear much earlier, but the success of Valheim unexpectedly met the developer. They have expanded their studio (from formerly 4 employees) and especially wanted to polish the basic game far enough. That's obviously happened.
When is the release of the update? On September 16, Hearth & Home appears as a free update. For announcement, the developers have published a short but send Viking anime.
There are already some of the new features in the animated clip.
Content of Hearth & Home - New features and changes
What is in Hearth & Home? The update turns mainly for new features around the construction and cooking system of the game. There are new components as well as recipes for cooking as well as a revision of the buffs that refers to their food. There are some changes to the combat system.
New food and recipes
What new recipes are there? So far, only a few of the 10 new recipes from Hearth & Home are known. We supplement this list as soon as other recipes are published:
- Eyescream
- Shocklate Smoothies
- Sea meat in different variations
We also already know that food with Hearth & Home can be divided into three categories: health (red), endurance (yellow) and balanced (white). This makes it easier to see what exactly a matching buff. Some guides to the systems can be found here on MeinMMO:
- The best food in Valheim and how to make it
- So fermented your MET and manufactures mighty potions
What is still changing at the food? In Valheim you can eat three varieties of food at the same time to benefit from your buffs. However, have you consumed something, you are full and have to wait until you can eat again.
With Hearth & Home comes the new BUKEPERRIES, which let you eliminate the food again. So empties your stomach and can use new buffs, for example if a fight is imminent. In addition, the remaining time is displayed to the buffs instead of just an unlabeled bar.
For this purpose, the boiler can now be upgraded by means of tools, just like other workbenches in the game too. This increases the boiler in the step, which is expected to need for new recipes.
New components and cultivation possibilities
Which new components come? As a new material, the dark wood is introduced with Hearth & Home (DarkWood). With this you can build roofs and hatches. Other components are not yet known.
However, the developers have announced that they also get more decoration parts. So you can stack about collected gold coins and exhibit in treasure chambers. There should also be treasure boxes. Add to this the new extensions for the cooking station. Specifically, here:
- A spice rack
- A slaughter table
- Pots and pans
What is changing in the garden? In addition to the new components, it will be possible to grow new items like onions. Many players are likely to be happy about that, because for some time the community wants to grow berries instead of fighting.
Revised combat system
What is changing at fighting? Valheim works with attacks, blocks and parades. Their strength is so far decisively determined by your skill and the values of the weapon. With Hearth & Home, however, endurance and life are also an important factor.
- Stamina continues to determine how often you can strike
- The strength of your blocks (and probably also the parades) depends on your life points
Since you influence food, how many endurance and life points you have, you should think closely with Hearth & Home what you eat in which situation.
There is also a new, orange bar next to your character. This indicates when you gave your staggered (staggered). When blocking, the bar fills up and when he's full since her stunned.
What changes to the weapons? Together with the revision of the combat system, all weapons get adjustments. The most important we have listed here for you:
- Tower shields have a stronger push effect (knockback) - that makes them good in the fight against several enemies
- Fauschildren can be used to parry opposing attacks
- Round shields remain a middle ground for all-round fighters
- Two handed overlays can be charged faster and can make opponents better for stumbling. They also meet more goals
- Bows are drawn slower, but it costs less stamina to stretch the tendon. So you can go more

How is it going? New biomes and bosses
After Hearth & Home, further updates come, which the developers have already published in a roadmap shortly after release. Accordingly, Hearth & Home will eventually follow the update Cult of the Wolf. When exactly that will be, but is not known.
To derive is the name that presumably wolves as pets, the PET system generally or even vaults will play a role. In the subsequent update Ships and the Sea probably the seafaring is further expanded.
As a fourth update on the roadmap is the first new biom, the Nebellande. They are already in the game and suggest that the new BIOM will be really disgusting. The developers also confirmed that each new BIOM receives at least one new boss. Three previously unused biomes are already in the game:
- Nebellande
- Aschenland
- Deep north
So far, however, it is still open when they are filled. What are you looking forward to? What would you like to see? Write us in the comments.
