Sorry if this has been asked, I searched through this and other posts and haven't found a solution.
I setup a Valheim container but I've lost all world progress except map discovery.
Initially I had renamed the world using geekstrom.de and it was a full reset, as if it started from a new seed. I took the renamed world and added it locally and it was fine, everything exactly as it was before the rename.
Then I copied the original files from my world (before the rename) to the container. With those world files I have my original world, with all the biomes exactly as they were, even have the same map discovery, but it's as if it was brand new. I woke up where my house should be but my house isn't there.
What I did, in order:
Installed plugin from CA
Left all values as default
Ran container to let it download everything and made sure no errors in logs
Stopped container
Copied RenamedWorld.fwl and RenamedWorld.db to /mnt/user/appdata/valheim/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim/worlds
Set value for World Name in container settings to RenamedWorld
Started container
Successfully connected but world was completely different
Stopped container
Deleted all Dedicated.* files
Started container
Same issues
Stopped container
Copied RenamedWorld.fwl and RenamedWorld.db to local Worlds folder
Successfully started session and everything is exactly as it was in UnmodifiedWorld
Copied UnmodifiedWorld.fwl and UnmodifiedWorld.db to /mnt/user/appdata/valheim/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim/worlds
Set value for World Name in container settings to UnmodifiedWorld
Started container
Successfully connected, world is laid out the same as if run locally but no progress, it's as if it was new from the same seed
Stopped container
Does something else need to be copied, or match exactly for this to work?
Unraid 6.9.2
Valheim 2021-09-17 0.202.19 (local install)
Don't see server version # in logs, but I installed the container from CA today (2021-09-23 ~2:00pm EST) so I assume I have the latest version
