Where to find Coal
Also from breakable objects
Furniture, barrels, crates and other props that drop it when destroyed. These only exist inside built locations, so world generation gives them no biome of their own.
Where Coal generates in the world
- Swamp: 2,000 m to 6,000 m from the centre of the world
- Ashlands: measured from a different centre, far beyond the playable radius
Every Valheim world is generated from its seed, so no page can say where anything is. What is fixed for every seed is the conditions above: the ring a biome is confined to, and the ground a node will accept.
