Broken Hildir Spawns?

Bug

So I have been looking for hildir on my solo world the past few days and I cant find her anywhere. I found her on my coop world with my buddy within the first few hours of the update but cant find her on my olo. I finally broken tn and uploaded my seed to the valheim-map.world website and found out my base is built exactly where one of her spawns is supposed to be... great!

I went and checked out other close spawns of hers the map points out but nothing, all that's there are those stonehenge-esk structures in the meadows.

Anyone else finding this to be an issue? Im likely just gunna go to anthor world with my character when I need her but its annoying that I wont have the tasks and minibosses on my world.

I did find her on my world, and out of curiosity looked up alternate spawns (there was a really convenient one right next to my island base I'd already discovered). What happened to me was that the location for some (but not all!) of her quest dungeons differed between my live seed and the one on valheim-maps, even though I hadn't been near any of the areas.

there's also a weird bug for me where a few distinct areas change their level of elevation at random. I rebuilt an abandoned village right next to my Hildir spawn, rested in a bed, and when I woke up, the floor had elevated so half the house was under it. Similarly, an area right next to the quest tower switched between "normal elevation" and "suddenly, a bomb crater" between visits, and back again later. So my thesis is that this abnormal behaviour is connected to Hildir world assets (happened on both a world from the previous patch, and a newly created one).

Use the dev command find, her internal ID should just be Hildir, should ping her on your map of she was rendered in, if not there are ways to render in her camp but things can go wrong doing that if you aren’t careful.

Turns out there's two ways that you can upload your map to that website, I had uploaded the one that was saved directly to my computer, and that gave me a few different spawns close to me including the one that was right on top of my base that were all empty, I went and found the other save file which is my steam Cloud one and uploaded that one instead and it gave me just a few different spawns, and one was sort of close to my base so I set sail for that one and thankfully she did spawn in at that location, not sure how two different uploads of the same seed could cause that to happen, but it seems to have worked now.

That is strange, usually when a seed is generated it stays the same, is one save before the update and another after?

No, according to the time stamps on the files, they were saved just seconds apart from each oother when I last pressed save before going to the website. Not sure how that happened. Website bug maybe? 🤷‍♂️
