My seed world I created on pc and copied to server does not show up another random seed world does.

I created a dedicated server on windows 11.

I created a world on local pc named Rhine, saved local on pc not cloud and changed difficulty. I logged in and out. I copied folder from my pc to server.

I moved my server worlds folder to
C:\ValheimServer\Worlds
C:\ValheimServer\Worlds\worlds_local\Rhine

I am able to connect and login.

Everything I copied over has been updated after I log in and out of the server and shutdown.
