its meant to be a harder pack, i understand keep lights lit for aesthetic reasons normally

not needing coal for smelter is an odd choice

ah, so its a visual glitch, you cant see how much coal is actually in it, i thought it ate all the coal but it eventually ran out, maybe ill swap this out for nosmokestaylit

[analog musk]

Yo guys! I need help locating a mod. Does anyone remember a mod that would add a different type of Copper deposit in the black forest? It looks like a pile of rocks, but copper.

[weary island]

This mod does that. There may be others as well but this is the one I've used in the past. It's highly configurable as well. I recommend that you read it's web page carefully.

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/blacks7ar/OreMines/

[ionic trail]

i guess you can add that with Expand World data (add MineRock_Copper as vegetation)

[analog musk]

Not what I was looking for, but that might have to be my alternative. Ty!

[analog musk]

Im not familiar with that mod. So would that just put ore on the ground similar to collecting stone/flint that is on the ground?

[weary island]

It does add the ore piles out in the open world as well as adding the mines. You need to read the mod's web page as not all it's features are obvious.

[ionic trail]

like other destructable rocks

[trim bloom]

there is a mod on left side show which player most farm grid, most killed,most npc killed what is this mode name ?

[weary island]

I'm not exactly sure what you mean but maybe try a search on thunderstore.io/c/valheim for "discord". Choose one that's been updated recently.

[trim bloom]

[limpid gale]

Has anyone made a mod that adds a Trader vivisgir in the Black Forest?

[kind vector]

is there a mod where i build contraptions and mechanicals like for example a drawbridge using a pulley system or whatever similar

[clear lily]

sure, OdinArchitect, OdinsKingdom, there is also MoreGatesExtended

[timid shoal]

A long time ago, there was a "Trader Immersive Locator" mod, that by using some vanilla objects on a campfire (seeds/trophies/etc), Hugin came and gave you directions you need to be heading. But it isn't updated anymore.

[modest nimbus]

I'll whip something up with ewd and edited runestones xP

[modest nimbus]

ah yea, can't share files here 😛 oh well, i'll just pm and put this stuff on VWE discord

anyone who wants to check it out can go to this link https://discord.com/channels/1167153871546744842/1421068499354386493 🙂

[azure berry]

There are mods where you can place prefabs of those types of things, and they work nicely, but there is no way to design the functions yourself in-game.

[kind vector]

cheers

[kind vector]

very unfortunate, maybe some genius in the future might mod something like that in
cheers anyway

[karmic bobcat]

Is there a mod that lets you stow a loaded crossbow?

[hexed goblet]

I think Azumatt makes a mod that does that.

[hexed goblet]

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Azumatt/SaveCrossbowState/

[karmic bobcat]

Nice! Thank you! Most annoying part of the crossbow imo

[worldly forge]

not sure if this is the right place but... is there a way to have r2 mod managed spawn a shortcut to valheim so that it auto loads the mod presets AND boot the game?

like how MO2 does

[novel isle]

can someone recommend me mod that increases fog of war discovery when sailing? it's the one thing that annoys me in the game

[river moon]

I have enough trouble deciding on what weapons to use in vanilla. What's a few good weapon types with warfare?

Or even magic if it's decent, I have wizardry as well

[delicate mulch]

anyone have a good recent version or alternative to Instantmonsterlootdrop?

[marsh vale]

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Azumatt/TrueInstantLootDrop/

[marsh vale]

If you only want to play modded and with one mod profile. go into r2mm and find the "Set Launch Parameters" in settings. from there copy the arguments in the Modded section and past those into the launch arguments setting in steam

[worldly forge]

Holy shit thanks!

[marsh vale]

you could also figure out how to make a shortcut that launches a game through steam and add those arguemnts to it too if you dont always want to run the same mod profile but dont want to have to open r2

[ionic trail]

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/ComfyMods/Instaloot/

[limber olive]

so there used to be a mod to make it so armor wouldnt take inventory slots, but i guess its been discontinued, is there a replacement?

nvm found one

[long nacelle]

anyone using raft mod?

when I turn ships it spins so fast like a helicopter

[halcyon fable]

Does soemone know if the Item drawers from the mod ItemDrawers are considered as a player base structure? I'm assuming that they are but it would be nice if they weren

[hexed goblet]

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/ValheimModding/UnityExplorer/

not sure, but you can install this and take a look yourself.

[halcyon fable]

Thanks, i'll figure how to operate that!

[rich grove]

Any mod recs for an immersive mode playthrough? Already got nomap printer installed

[hexed goblet]

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/ZenDragon/ZENHEIM/

This was designed explicitly for immersive playthrough. It's got it's own custom low-map mod, not compaitible with NoMapPrinter. So it's best to install this in a new profie without NoMapPrinter.

[rich grove]

Thx I'll take a look

[worldly forge]

anyone knows wtf is going on with Azus UnOfficial ConfigManager?
i keep getting yellow exclusion that it is an old version?!

[tired crescent]

?

[long nacelle]

anyone using Valheim raft something feels very wrong

[worldly forge]

i mean this

argh shit i cant upload images >.<

here lol #mods-screenshots message

and yes mod is up to date

[tired crescent]

Nothing is “going on” with the mod. When you see messages like that it means you’ve double installed a mod with the same GUID but different versions. They are in the plugins folder and in different sub folders

[long nacelle]

noone is using Valheim raft?

[tired crescent]

I always advise against using it. The mod has been extremely buggy since its inception and most bugs for it just get swapped every time it attempts a fix.

[clear lily]

there really isn't a performant way to move pieces around, especially on water.

[long nacelle]

My valheim raft bugs out so much

[clear lily]

yeah, it's a cool idea for a mod

[long nacelle]

I dont understand what is wrong it keeps flying, when turning it spins so fast

[clear lily]

does it do that in a new world with just that mod?

idk, if you're throwing a ton of other modded stuff on top of raft then I would bet it sails like a roomba

[long nacelle]

no I just made new world with just raft mod it still rotates so fast I am confused

did you try mod in 4.0? Was it working normally

[river moon]

anyone know why the backpacks mod backpacks dont increase their size like they are supposed to when upgraded?

i found a thread of a report for it but didnt see any solution

[nova orbit]

#mods-discussion message

[nova orbit]

#mods-discussion message

If you mean backpacks by smoothbrain

[river moon]

yeah

see i checked the config, its got upgrades in it and the size changes under each upgrade

i mean they get too big for your available weight anyways so im not sure im even that sad about it, but im curious why its not working

carrying more monster drops would be nice though

[nova orbit]

are you using yml file? you'll have to enable it then you can leave the cfg default because yaml will override it.

if you need only one type of backpack then you can use just the cfg file and not yaml

[river moon]

there are yml yes, with the upgrades in em, im using the relicheim pack

are yml from packs disabled by default?

[nova orbit]

I have yet to try it out with the new valheim update. but you can post the yaml here.
Its disabled but if you're using relicheim configs it's enabled

[river moon]

see the yml must be working to some capacity because all the custom bags are showing up

but when upgraded they still have the default storage space

[nova orbit]

where is the default set? under description in the yaml

[river moon]

Simple Backpack:

description: "A simple backpack capable of holding a few items"

size: 2x2

upgrade:

1:

  DeerHide: 10

  LeatherScraps: 5

  size: 3x2

[nova orbit]

and what is not working

what size does it show

[river moon]

after upgrading its still 2x2

i dont have iron yet so i cant test the other backpacks yet

[nova orbit]

are you using the cfg from the modpack or you changed it? the cfg is weird so its easier and batter to keep the original one that comes with the modpack. and are you missing any lines from the yaml like crafting station?

[river moon]

ive made zero changes to anything

ive touched nothing, so i have no idea what its using

the default config only has the explorer's backpack so i assume its pulling from the yml with the custom bags since i have a custom bag

worst case once i progress maybe ill just change the default to the upgraded number and see if that does anything

[nova orbit]

it sounds like something is breaking the mod or something wrong with the valheim+modpack version mismatch or something else. if it's relicheim i can try it later tonight. but you can also install only backpacks mod and use the cfg and yaml from the modpack to test it properly.

[languid lynx]

Make sure to toggle the "use external YAML file" option to on in your cfg file or it won't work.

[wise veldt]

what happens to the ZDO of a creature when it is killed? it doesn't appear to be destroyed. is it preserved somehow for respawning? or is my testing just probably wrong, lol

[river moon]

i have that option turned on, i just reloaded the game again, and even recrafted the bags and upgraded them just to be sure. still 2x2

i kinda had hopes for that option when i saw it lol

so yeah, only changing the default size in the yml makes it change size, just tested. you have to recraft it too

[languid lynx]

When a creature is killed/destroyed, its ZDO is destroyed as well

[river moon]

i dont know enough about yaml files but maybe the format is incorrect somewhere for the size increase

[wise veldt]

Thank you! So when I kill a deer, there's no special object state that it enters, waiting in limbo for respawning? That object instance is simply destroyed and out of the memory?

[languid lynx]

Yeah, all creatures and prefabs are clones of one original prefab.
When a new creature spawn with the same name it's still a unique clone but with data restored.

[wise veldt]

Yeah, ok. A copy/paste from a template with its own unique id

[worldly forge]

ok so that no longer appears but it also seems like i cant use f1 to open the window

[tired crescent]

make sure it's loading and make sure there isn't overlap in keybinds.

[worldly forge]

nothing pops up from f1 and this time no yellow text for it 🤔

weird... reinstall worked?

[crisp tinsel]

I'm having trouble finding a particular mod, may not exist, thought I'd ask:

TLDR I'm looking for a mod that modifies the default behavior of the "Take All" container UI Command (and maybe the Ctrl + L-Click shortcut for moving whole stacks of items between containers) such that it will initially only move as many items as I can carry and only overload me IF I do the same action again.

The ideal behavior I want would be :

• IF inventory_weight <= current_max_capacity (factoring in belt, forsaken powers, potions, etc.) AND first_item_moved.baseweight + inventory_weight <= current_max_capacity (i.e. you can move at least 1 item without going over capacity) : Move as many items as the "Take All" or Ctrl + L-Click would normally move WITHOUT EXCEEDING max weight
• ELSE : Default behavior for either command, overloading as much inventory as possible with no regards for weight

This way I could take from a container initially as much items as I could carry using "Take All" or Ctrl + L-Click with normal inputs and it would cut it off but if I wanted to revert to the default behavior, I just hit the same input again to get the default behavior. I would also probably settle for just never exceeding my carrying capacity as the default behavior and only allowing and overload by picking up items from a container slot and placing them in a specific inventory slot manually, no shortcuts

[hexed goblet]

Not clear… just press take all to take all then ctrl click the individual items to overload. Is that what you mean ?

[hexed goblet]

What is not clear is that if you say “move as many items as you can without exceeding max weigh” ..how do you determine that ? A chest could have iron bars and leather scraps. Big weight diff. How to know which one to move ? What item has priority ?

I see the issue though. I have some ideas. I’ll fix it.

[crisp tinsel]

So Example: My inventory is 217/450 weight units. I click "Take All" on a chest, Whatever arbitrary order the chest starts to fill in items from that command, it will check each time to make sure no one item will exceed 450 units (I assume it does a similar check to make sure it doesn't exceed inventory slots. You're right that it is somewhat arbitrary in a mixed contents chest and perhaps that makes it an invalid option for moding the "Take All" command. That limitation wouldn't exist for Ctrl + L-Click shortcut as that will always be one item type.

[spark atlas]

Hi! good day to everyone. I would like to ask for lists of mods that will go well with epic loot and therzie mods like the monsters and weapons also some QOL thanks in advance!😁

[peak gulch]

I am looking for a mod that shown coordinates on the map. I did have one a while back called MapCoordinatesDisplay but can't find it in Thunderstore anymore.

[pastel wind]

This one maybe?
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/?q=Coordinate&ordering=last-updated&section=mods

[cold iron]

Is there any mod that improves the tamed animals like the lox and the asksvin ? Like being able to locate them, use them to carry stuff, etc.

[languid lynx]

My creatures in MagicalMounts get pins and internal storage when tamed.
Maybe I should make a mod that extends this to vanilla creatures :O

[pastel wind]

That mod not ok @tired crescent ?

[tired crescent]

Huh?

[pastel wind]

Because of the skull :)

[hexed goblet]

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/ZenDragon/

[tired crescent]

I was dying of laughter that you sent them a search on the word Coordinate on thunderstore, there was one result, and it's current 😄
Instead of a direct mod link. Basically showing them "common sense says, this might work" and doing the work for them.

[pastel wind]

Ah now I know why lol, wasn't even intended to post it that way. At least not with that thought behind it 😆

[bleak dragon]

guys is there any veinmine server side mod?

[ionic trail]

I guess no, new vein need new assets, clients should know about it

You can set distribution rules for vanilla assets with EWData

[bleak dragon]

is there any tutorial on how to do it?

[ionic trail]

Check Jere's GitHub( EW mods wiki)

https://github.com/JereKuusela/valheim-expand_world_data

[bleak dragon]

i tried putting this mod on my server, but it doesn't generate the expand_world folder when the server starts

[ionic trail]

Do it locally and upload folder to server

[bleak dragon]

done, what setting should i edit to enable veinmine?

[ionic trail]

What veinmein?

[bleak dragon]

i need the veinmine mod

[ionic trail]

👀 I say you can manage only vanilla assets with server side mode EWData

Any mods with new objects must be on clients

[bleak dragon]

veinmine doesn't add any object

[ionic trail]

What mod? Link

Depricated?

[bleak dragon]

yes

[clear lily]

well, it's a client side mod, and I dont think it's been updated in years

[ionic trail]

Don't recommend using depricated mods:)

[bleak dragon]

i remember using this mod in a crossplay server, with xbox friends playing with it

[bleak dragon]

i know that's why i asked if there's a new one

[clear lily]

probably, though only people with the mod would be able to actually use it

looking at it's code it's client only really, looks like it will sync with a server config file

[ionic trail]

If mod change health for parts of vein it's can be change from server side, like inject data with EWData and EWPrefabs...

[bleak dragon]

is there no way to update it? and make it work server side, or at least for whoever has the mod?

[bleak dragon]

it can be changed?

[ionic trail]

But not skill progression and etc

[bleak dragon]

nah i don't need that

[clear lily]

asking the author maybe? idk, looks like azumatt had helped them at some point, maybe he is permitted?
I dont see any license or anything on the github so usually that means "dont touch without permission"

[ionic trail]

@bleak dragon join to Valheim World Editing discord and ask:)

[clear lily]

there isn't exactly a way to make it server only though, perhaps clients can join with it and use it for people on console who cant.

however it does need updated

[bleak dragon]

that would be great as well

[bleak dragon]

alright

[civic apex]

Hey sorry folks, is there mods that help reset ores and dungeons after a certain period of time?

I'm new to running a server and I'm trying to make it so it respawns ores and dungeons every week.

Just to accomodate new folks who jump in.

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/VentureValheim/Venture_Location_Reset/
or UpgradeWorld with cron

[river moon]

my experience with epicloot so far

make new set of gear, immediately that set starts dropping from stuff

rip my mats

[odd temple]

is there a mod that lets u smelt every ore in blast furnace or idk

[nova orbit]

yes

[odd temple]

Which mods are working rn and got that option? cause idk which one will be compatible with the latest ver

[nova orbit]

A simple solution
TastyChickenLegs-BlastFurnaceTakesAll-1.0.9
And another one that I'm using WackysDatabase
i can share the config or you can find it in his discord.

[nova orbit]

I can recommend WackysDatabase it's a very powerful tool.

[hexed goblet]

I added a similar feature to ZenUI v0.7.10

The state changes based on the condition of the inventory:
- Take stacks: Unfilled stacks in the player's inventory are filled (example: refill ammo). (ignores weight).
- Take limit: If there are no stacks that can be filled, the button will take items up to max weight.
- Take all: Items are moved to inventory via vanilla behavior (ignores weight).

[crisp tinsel]

Awesome, I'll update to it

[steady hare]

is there a mod that removes the natural fog from inside troll caves?

[river moon]

cllc sure loves to troll. my bosses always seem to spawn 4* and this bounty i did gave the target a 5* minion shark that took like 20 minutes to kill

[nimble slate]

Does anyone know of any mods that change/ rework bloodstone?

[river moon]

ngl, not having fun with relicheim, max the current zones gear, enchant my gear, make pots etc, best food i can make, still get dunked on by the 4* enraged bosses

[languid lynx]

Isn't RelicHeim using EpicLoot?

[river moon]

yeah

the cllc is a bit overturned for sure

im going to win, but like i said, not really fun

i refuse to terrain cheese so maybe thats on me

[languid lynx]

Did they balance EL nowadays aka no longer a god?

[river moon]

honestly at my current state its not even good

yay my armor has extra durability and glowing

or 5% more fire defense

[languid lynx]

@hexed goblet I had this new mod idea called "Zen" and thought about you 😂
Basically your internal anger meter fills up over time you need to meditate in order to release your inner demon that you then fight.

[hexed goblet]

Lol

[languid lynx]

Thinking of having these pillows/stones generate in the world that you need to find to decrease your anger meter.
If the anger meter gets full then your inner demon spawns and when you defeat it then you're at peace!

[hexed goblet]

or just eat mushrooms 😛

i like the concept of fighting yourself. but i don't think it needs all the complexity of a meter and a guage... could just be a random raid that spawns and chases you ...

a mirror you

[languid lynx]

Yeah but wouldn't that be annoying if it randomly spawned to haunt you every now and then?

I want to make a creature that stalks you, when you look at it, it disappears!

[languid lynx]

@sleek otter I've attempted to fix a problem with YouAreBeingWatched.
You couldn't view other players inventory IF their inventory was larger.
It was a dumb problem, my mod just never checked so now it does.

[cunning sand]

i cant find 80% of the mods i need. i am on thunderstore

[clear lily]

thunderstore search is kinda garbage, I have better luck searching google for a mod and adding "thunderstore" to my search words.

[cunning sand]

oh oke thanks

[sleek otter]

Eeexcellent. I havent had cause to look at logs lately, hence the merciful respite from betlog YABL harassment. Sorry about that ;)

[languid lynx]

You know, I should add a command to YABL that lists the players inventory!

[odd temple]

what would be the config for it

[river moon]

Can bosses be despawned? I was just thinking when I go to fight bonemass for a second time if I get a bonemass with a summoner affix I'm just gonna walk away lol

My eikthyr was summoner and he summoned about 15 minions at a time but at least they were one shot graydwarfs, I'm not about to put up with 15 blobs at a time plus his normal summons lmao

[languid lynx]

Nah, lol

[devout gazelle]

Yeah, hit them until they disappear.

[river moon]

With snow armor I prolly won't care, when I fought him the first time I was getting two 3* curse buffed draugr archers spawning every 30 seconds, I was losing my mind

On top of the 3 skele two blobs being spawned constantly

Add summons and I'd be like aight I'm making walls over here

[stiff jasper]

any mods that let me edit adrenaline gain percentage

[worldly garnet]

Is there a mod that would let me change into a mob like a deer or wolf and have the right 'name' above me, i.e. look like the actual mob?

It would be even better if then the mob I was could do a 'sit' animation. Then, I could change into a wolf, come up to you and sit down like a real wolf or dog would? That would be incredible!

[shadow gorge]

Hey guys, I have a question does Valheim have xbox mod support or no? If there is please let me know, thank you!👍 ❤️

[worldly garnet]

No, Xbox users can't load mods due to the limitations of the console. Sorry. However, there are mods that can go on a 'server only' that Xbox users can then join and 'use'. Mostly just QOL mods of one kind or another.

[worldly garnet]

Did you mean 'stamina'? Because I don't think adrenaline is in the game. Not the vanilla game, anyway.

[ionic trail]

adrenaline in game, last update

[pure forge]

you get the stat using those trinket thingies iirc

[worldly garnet]

OIC Good info. Tihanks.

[weary island]

The combination of
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/CookieMilk/IdentityCrisis/
and

might do most of that. I haven't tried them myself but it looks promising.

[worldly garnet]

Thanks. I didn't see the Incognito one. I'll try that.

[languid lynx]

I will update identityCrisis to allow you to hide the player tag or maybe even change it.

I think it's infinity hammer, I can modify terrain with my hoe, apparently it can raise, level, pathen etc , but I don't seem to be able to lower terrain. Is there a mod that does that? Or maybe Im just missing something with IH

[odd temple]

how do you prevent enemies from spawning near ur base with zenraid?

also is there a way o bring back the minimap i tried ZenMap and it removed it idk how to return the minimap

[hexed goblet]

Read the ZenMap wiki on thunderstore

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/ZenDragon/ZenMap/wiki/3867-removing-the-mod/

[hexed goblet]

Read the directions on the ZenRaids thunderstore page. Light torches. Did you read it ?

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/ZenDragon/ZenRaids/

[odd temple]

I did even with the perimeters idk why it keeps spawning inside de base, its always lit up

[hexed goblet]

You have other mods installed too ? Any errors in the console ?

You have the fires lit ?

[odd temple]

yes

[odd temple]

i dont see any errors when i launch

[hexed goblet]

Try running the mod in a profile by itself to rule out any mod conflicts

[hexed goblet]

After running it in a profile by itself do you see the monsters spawning in your base ?

[odd temple]

i tried this, ive got the map working but the minimap how do i make it show up again

[hexed goblet]

Do you have ZenCompass installed ?

[odd temple]

I think so, is it because of that?

ye i got it

[hexed goblet]

ZenCompass replaced the minimap in the corner of the screen with the compass.

[odd temple]

Ah i see, if i remove it it'll go back to normal then?

[hexed goblet]

Yes

Did you read about the mods before you installed them ? What were you expecting to happen ?

It’s the very first sentence of the description:

“Radial compass that replaces your minimap in the corner of your screen.”

[odd temple]

I probs missed it, when i installed it mb sorry

[hexed goblet]

No problem. I was just curious. So out of curiosity. Did you experiment with ZenMap before removing it ? Did you understand the concept of how it works ?

And also, did you try ZenRaids in a profile by itself to rule out any mod conflicts ?

[odd temple]

ye i understand it, basically no map and u can only access the map with catro table, tho i cant update it since i didnt have artisan at that time i tried it

[hexed goblet]

You can change the crafting requirements for making a portable map. You don’t need an artisan table. You need to allow 7 game days to pass before it fully explores the area. It updates itself automatically. Portable maps let you take a copy with you.

You can accelerate the age of the table by being in god mode and pressing alt when you interact with the table

It creates big beautiful maps

Reading the config file will explain a lot of the features

[hexed goblet]

@languid lynx does your books mod lock the book so that only the creator can edit it ?

(creator or admin in god mode)

[languid lynx]

Yep, a book can be ReadOnly 🙂

[hexed goblet]

nice

but, can the player mark it as readonly or is that something that the admin has to setup before hand ?

[languid lynx]

If a player wants to make a book they can make a template and give it to the admin to add to the server.
So techincally yeah they can decide if they want to it to be ReadOnly or not.

If they do it via the game then there's no way to lock it I realized now.
I should add this!

[hexed goblet]

ya, i think it would make sense to have books created by the player be read-only except for the player that created it (via PlayerID) OR admin in god mode. That's the only one who can edit books. UNLESS the creator of the book marks it as "public" then anyone can edit it. But by default they should be read-only.

[languid lynx]

I will add this because it makes sense!
You can already do this via the template feature so why not in game as well!

[hexed goblet]

😄

good mod idea, i had considered something similar

[languid lynx]

Actually, this is an old mod that was previously called LitLiterature but renamed to ReadMe 😅

[hexed goblet]

ya, i saw the old one too

[languid lynx]

The next I will work on is letting the user move the BookUI itself.
Then allow the user to choose their own background for each page.

[hexed goblet]

nice idea. although i don't know that you need to have the UI move. Just pick a reasonable location. Centered on top of everything seems reasonable.

should close if the user presses escape or joybuttonB

auto-save when closed (if owner)

[languid lynx]

Yeah currently its centered and you close it with esc but got a request to let you move it.

So right now you can use rich text and add clickable links.
I want to add the ability to show images and stuff too, that would be funny.

[hexed goblet]

sure, nice idea

[clear lily]

clickable links is probably not the best idea to have in it, but the rest is really cool

[hexed goblet]

i had the idea for a camera mod. so you could take pictures of stuff in game... it would save as super low rez images to an external file. NOT part of the game world. That way it's easy for admin to cleanup.

you could have a camera mod that lets the user put pictures into the book.. to create stories

[hexed goblet]

nah, no links needed. less is more.

minimal viable product

rich text, sure... that's handy.. easy enough to implement too. Movable UI, sure.. if you want. Although i can't imagine much of a use case... i set the position once and forget it. Seems like the kind of thing that could be in a config file. But up to you how much effort you want to put into that. But adding pictures and story.. that's the core meat of it in my opinion. Player driven stories. 🙂

often a world will exist for a wihle.. players will come... play through.. and then leave.. their bases remain.. turned to rubble... new players join the server... they see the old stuff... it's obvious that someone was there before them.. but no story about who they were or what they did.... i've always thought that would be a nice addition. a way to leave a mark for the next players to come after you

[languid lynx]

Yeah!! That was one of the main goals 😄
Create a book, write stuff in it, store it, copy it, share it 😄

[hexed goblet]

of course... TTD will be a factor and i fully expect that people will just make a bunch of books of dumb stuff.. but that's why the admin can edit it.

[languid lynx]

Then there's the book pieces that can actually talk 😂

[hexed goblet]

would be really cool if there was an admin control so that the admin could list all books in the world and browse and locate them... an editor may be necessary since some people like to write.... well, less than lovely comments...

[languid lynx]

There's a command to list all books, templates and such

[hexed goblet]

nice

can the admin view and edit them from that list?

[languid lynx]

If they find it and open it I guess?
Since it's a physical item.

[hexed goblet]

does the list of books show the location?

[languid lynx]

Nah but you can use the find command

is there a mod to use all types of metals for the blast furnace cause i wanna smelt iron ores or copper ones as well

thanks king

[split basin]

fellas anyone know a good mod to bypass the process of building a base?
Like i want to just be able to prebuild a base in an area and slowly add the materials i need into it instead of building it piece by piece.

[lavish jay]

I think there's a blueprint function in Odin plus or smth.
I'm not sure of the name but I'm certain there's a blueprint mod

[hexed pebble]

Soooo. Does anyone know to to get mods on a MacBook laptop? I’m not very techy when it come to this and saw the process seem difficult! I’m just deeply terrified of the mistlands and heard that there’s a mod where I can see a bit more in the mists and want it really bad! I hate to barely able to see anything 😭

[languid lynx]

This video might be useful?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhS9SE1JrZk

[hexed pebble]

Ahhhh!! Thank you!!!! Let’s see if it works!!!!

[hexed pebble]

I think I messed up, probably or I missed something. 😭 idk what to do

[languid lynx]

Yeah, it looked a bit complicated 🙁

[hexed pebble]

I think I did all the steps right but nothing came up. I’m just a bit worried if I screwed something up then I completely break my game 😭 a little paranoid but still!

[wet snow]

@hexed pebble

[wet snow]

just make sure to save your saves you should be fine

[hexed pebble]

Wait does that mean I have to uninstall valheim And reinstall? Oof that sounds a bit scary!

[wet snow]

yes, its not a problem if you use steam since it uses clouds saves. I did that multiple time never lost my saves

make sure ur saves are not local

[hexed pebble]

Okay I checked and says cloud status up to date, so it’s saved on steam cloud! I can uninstall it

[wet snow]

yep

[hexed pebble]

Sorry to bother you again! So I did that but not show up. So I followed everything in the video but when I open up the mod version the terminal box keeps popping up as well and idk if that’s supposed to be happening.

so reading the terminal screen it says "Your mono runtime and class libraries are out of sync.
The out of sync library is: /Users/brigetteprimero/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Valheim/BepInEx/core/BepInEx.dll

When you update one from git you need to update, compile and install
the other too.
Do not report this as a bug unless you're sure you have updated correctly:
you probably have a broken mono install.
If you see other errors or faults after this message they are probably related
and you need to fix your mono install first.
cant resolve internal call to "UnityEngine.UnityLogWriter::WriteStringToUnityLogImpl" (tested without signature also)"

and idk what that means or what i even missing.

[wet snow]

no idea on this

ask gpt, might be helpful

[hexed pebble]

dang (T-T) okay thanks! i wish this could've been easier

ye macos is a pain for modding

This video tells people to download bepinex from the upstream github instead of the valheim version from thunderstore. terrible advice

I belive all you need to do is install bepinexpack_valheim from thunderstore and then in steam set the launch arguments to arch -x86_64 /bin/bash ./start_game_bepinex.sh

[untold anchor]

is there a mod that reduces or removes the unbuildable area around crafting station upgrades?

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/BlackViking/NoBuildRestriction
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Searica/BuildRestrictionTweaksSync
these two seem to have that but i'm not sure, anybody know which is the better option?

i don't care about being able to build in dungeons or other restrictions, only the crafting station upgrades havin ridiculously large no-building areas around them

like, between each other i mean. not being able to put the sharpening stone right next to the anvil and so on

[river moon]

so ive never actually used magic

is therzie wizardry actually good?

[ionic trail]

@untold anchor you can use Infinity Hammer mod for upgrade your building possibilities

@river moon all magic mods imbalance, magic is OP in earlier stage

[halcyon shore]

it very much is. it's so much fun being able to be a mage at all* (black forest onwards) stages of gameplay and the added stuff is well balanced and fun. The new mage enemies add good variety to their biomes too

[clear tree]

Hello, me and my friend was looking to get back into valheim in 2025, can anyone suggest some full overhaul mods, with new content/mechanics/qol etc? for a new playthrough, last time time i think we played it fully was around 2 3 years ago, i tried looking on google and mod forums, but most of em are not very specific/bugs etc

[halcyon shore]

check out everything by Therzie and Balrond for lots of new/overhaul content

[halcyon shore]

that said for looking up mods you should use the thunderstore with either it's own mod manager or one of the alts like r2modman

they have inbuilt browsers for mods (most mods up to date for the bog witch patch work in the current one so just check the update dates) and easy install processes

[lean granite]

Why is testing these mods alone so freaking slow it feels like. Actually maybe that's just me XD

[iron compass]

I use No Build Restriction for that, and it works perfectly

[untold anchor]

yeah that's what i went with, exactly what i wanted 👍

[river moon]

ive got cllc with difficulty set to very hard, there are enemies i cant even damage with lol

like this 5* regen obsidian golem guarding 3 silver spots

i spent a while taming a 5* wolf and it wasnt any better than a 2* wolf and it died almost immediatly to a troll

yeah i was just mining and minding my own business and a rock throw one shot me outta nowhere with 250 health lol

armor basically does nothing in its own biome, like im rocking silver armor in the snow

i wanna summon the vrykolathas miniboss in the swamp but when i go to the swamp at n ight only 1-2 wraiths spawns, so far no trophies

everytime i try to upload my server with Valhiem plus config , hit upload , start server ... then reload FZ the config file disappears ? all my other mod configs stay ... what am I doing wrong ?

Your mistake - using V+😁

anyone use a Dungeon mod for items respawning in Dungeons ?

[worldly garnet]

I think CLLC does that.

[sacred ether]

what is cllc ?

[worldly garnet]

Ceature Level & Loot Control

[sacred ether]

can this be put on a dedicated server?

Check the mod description for details.

CLLC is a complicated mod and may not be a good choice for you. See if you can find a different one that's easier to use.

using the Bows Before Hoes mod, i just upgraded my Black Forest quiver from level 1 to level 2... and the number of slots is still 3. i thought it was supposed to increase by 1 with each upgrade. not sure whats going on.

[sacred ether]

how do you access this ?

[wise veldt]

access it? do you mean install it? or download it?

[sacred ether]

I am trying to figure this one out now not sure how to access it in game though

[worldly garnet]

Usually, with most mods that information is on it's web page or in it's .cfg file. Or sometimes, both.

[sacred ether]

yeah i have it installed but it really doesnt have what cllc used to have that i can see

[polar plank]

Me and my friend are playing on a modded server that's only got a few mods that actually change stuff, one called ForverBuild, TorchesEternal, and WaterproofBuildings. Ever since we started playing though we've been having an insane amoung of issues that are pretty unique to this game, any ideas?
We'll have issues where lag is just hot potato'ing from player to player, even to the host and they suddenly can't open a door without a 4 second wait, enemies will teleport, can't input items into the furnace without issues, etc.
We're also having an issue now where my friend who isn't the host right now is breaking boats when they try to sit on it
Rebooting the server / restarting our games is usually our first option and it helps on occassion, but this time we're not seeing a difference. I'm the host and when I try to sit on the boats it works perfectly fine and they're functional, but when my friend does they're either unable to sit on them or they sit and the boat is non functional

I feel like I'm doing something wrong or maybe the mod doesn't do what I was told it does anymore. I was advised that the Plant Everything mod can be used to remove the "Needs an open sky" restriction when it comes to farming. But I either don't see that setting or have changed too many settings that I messed it up now.

[slow pivot]

Is there no way to change the size and location of the stamina bar anymore??

Tried Custom UI, BetterUI, and BetterUI ForeverMaintained (betterui being funny because it literally has footage of them moving the stamina bar in the showcase...) but none of them have stamina bar movement?

If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated

its literally the only UI element i really wanna move around, the rest are bonuses, but its the only UI element i cant move

(also BetterUI ForeverMaintained adds this weird bar at the bottom for... some reason) #mods-screenshots message

[tired crescent]

BetterUI forever Maintained can. Yes. Just enter the edit mode first.

Also the bar at the bottom is the level progress

[slow pivot]

ah cool

And yeah i tried entering the edit mode, theres no box for it. However enabling the custom bar specifically seems to be what I was missing. I thought it would be like the other UI elements and have the default be editable rather than needing to be specifically enabled

#mods-screenshots message

are "combat hints" and "build hints" a part of the mod itself too or something, cuz i swear ive never seen combat or build hints but they fill the entire screen in edit mode?

[tired crescent]

There isn’t a box for it since there isn’t a need for moving it

[tired crescent]

The center messages and such that are displayed to the player

[slow pivot]

there isnt a need for moving any UI element but id like to x)

i guess i just never noticed/made a mental note of them, thank you for the help

https://imgur.com/a/qji7QQp ...like "Missing Requirement" or am I misunderstanding?

[tired crescent]

Think more raid messages and the build hint keys

i guess ill realise when I see them haha

sadly i didnt realise the UI elements move faster than the mouse cursor (resolution problem maybe?) and i accidentally moved the combat one offscreen and idk how to get it back without fully reverting the config

[crimson quartz]

Hello, I am in the middle of a new playthrough after a few years break. I just started the tedious work of getting copper and tin and was wondering if anyone has suggestions for a veinmineresk mod as the version I'm seeing is outdated.

[languid lynx]

Ask the author to update it if it's broken 😄

[river moon]

I dunno who thought it was a good idea to have deathsquito raids

Especially when I'm just wandering out in an open area

[weary island]

The InfinityHammer mod does a good bit of that with it's increase in Hoe capability. It handles precise leveling, raising and lowering, resetting, painting, etc., et. And you can change it's selection area from circle to square or rectangle and then reorient the area as you wish.

[weary island]

That's just yet another reason they sell it as a 'Survival' game instead of just another 'Hello Kitty' rip off. 😛

Pro Tip: It's not as annoying when you have better armor, weapons, food and turn up your audio so you hear them coming.

[river moon]

Oh I'm in the plains, it's just the raid spawned 20 at once

No one has the stamina for that

I can tank prolly 3-4 hits without blocking, but yeah they came from all sides lmao

Infinity hammer

[river moon]

Infinity hammer is the goat

Infinity hammer and plant everything lets you get landscape looking nice

[worldly garnet]

The goat? Really? Hmmm..... I always thought of it as the Kraken sea monster.

'cause it's huge, it's powerful, it has a lot of different arms reaching many places and, if you treat it badly, it'll destroy you.

[river moon]

It will definitely destroy things

I especially like the reset terrain options lol

[worldly garnet]

Yup, and it can actually tame cretures within the area you select. Not something you'd expect from your Hoe. Especially from a mod named InfinityHammer. 🤨

[weary island]

I'm not even surprised at InfinityHammer any more. Did you know it can copy/paste .blueprint files of just one thing, or an area, or even a whole building? 😮

[worldly garnet]

Yeah, and it can create a perfectly formed earthen ramp of any width and any length and any height between any two spots on the ground. Is there anything it can't do? 🥹

[hoary cedar]

Hello everyone, I'd like to increase the weight of my inventory via G-Portal. I've already installed Valheim Plus, but I can't find the setting in G-Portal. Can someone please help me?

[weary island]

I hope you've installed one of the newer 'versions' of ValeimPlus as the original one is hopelessly out of date and hasn't been supported by it's author for years now.

Also, if it's your server, you should be an Admin and have ServerDevxommands loaded on the server and on your game and that will give you a console command that can set your carry weight to whatever you want.

[hoary cedar]

I'm currently running Valheim Plus 0.9.16.2 (Grantapher), and yes, it's my own server. I've logged in as an admin, but unfortunately, I can't find the tab where I can increase the weight in the inventory. I used to rent a server from G-Portal, and I could always change it in the basic settings. Sorry for my English, Google Translate 🙂

[weary island]

You and Google are doing fine with the translation thing.

And, I'm sorry that I can't help you with the G-Portal stuff. I have no experience with them at all. But the ServerDevcommands mod that I suggested above will work for you, if you don't find another easier solution.

[hoary cedar]

I can activate Devcommands, but I have no experience with it

[weary island]

I was wrong. Sorry. You can't set your carry weight limit without another mod to add that to the devcommands list. I thought it came in with ServerDevcommands but it does not.

You do get infinite carry weight with 'god' mode, which is a devcommand, but I don't think that's what you want.

This mod will let you adjust your carry weight, if you want to add another mod to your game.

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Searica/SkilledCarryWeight/

[hoary cedar]

I found it. I just set it up directly on G-Portal. It was under the "baseMaximumWeight" tab. Thanks for your quick reply.

[weary island]

Ok, good. I'm glad you found that. 🙂

[river moon]

you need like 50 portals for epicloot bounties to cover all the areas you gotta go to

i guess thats why relicheim has target portal in it

There's a bunch depending on how deep you wanna go and what your priorities are. Do a search over at thunderstore.io/c/valheim selecting modpaks and see what comes up.

Just don't get the ones designed for a specific server or one that's too old.

There's More_Vanilla_Build_Prefabs by Searica, but I don't think that has trader pieces. It has a good many vanilla prefabs that are not usually buildable though, especially if you enable creative mode.

I got a question, I am on pc, and I like to use QOL mods. My buddy is getting the game on Xbox. Would I be able to get him in my world playing with me with the mods ?

[oak halo]

That very much depends on the mods. Take a look at this https://github.com/Valheim-Modding/Wiki/wiki/Xbox-Compatible-Mods

Most mods need to be installed on all clients (which exludes xbox) in mp, unless the mod's page explicitly states the opposite (like the ones listed above)

[timid shoal]

There is a Server QoL mod that can be on server, and xbox users joing that world, will benefit of that mod. Like changed size of chest, taming, etc. Check it out on Thunderstore.

[iron compass]

If it's for a server, it needs to be installed on the server and client. If it's just your friend joining you in your game, you both need the mod. I can't say about it counting as a console command though. I don't know enough about how the mod works

passive enemies is a configuration parameter in vanilla. on the startup screen edit the world modifier for your world and turn on passive enemies. then they won't attack until you attack them.

Not part of that conversation but that's cringe asf

[river moon]

its so annoying that the backpack mods upgrade system doesnt work

i basically have to go increase the default size of the bags when i get to a new zone

[weary island]

Why do you choose a backpack mod over an extended inventory mod?

[river moon]

sorting and items in bags dont place in chests. they also have weight bonuses

and theres so many mods your inventory would be full in 15 seconds

my epicloot mat bag has 24 slots and its full and cant even carry each type

[sleek otter]

it does work, its just janky asf
theres jank in the way the yml requires an upgrade section, even if all you do is set the same size parameters as before
and theres jank in the way it usually requires that you move newly created backpacks to a new slot before you will nbe able to wear it, or any upgrades will apply addiitonal slots

both of which have been reported eons ago

[sleek otter]

becasue you can have a weight reduction, and extra slots, and multiple backpacks for compartmentalizing inv, or packing fiendish quantities of stuff into ships....AND you can have extra inv slots for even more juggling of lots of light items

being inside a backpack and inside a chest also protects the contents from being pulled by craft from chest mods

it also means you can quickly drop that 3 metric tonnes of silver you are staggering your way to the longship with, should you suddenly need to fight, or just regain stamina

aaaand you can be carrying various item-specific backpacks (like a prepacked portal, or Karve go-bag), or general-weight-reduction-becasue-you-dont-need-it-instantly packs (like half my fight food and most of the tools, keys, potions, grenades etc that I dont need in my main inv).... so you pack it, stick it in your inv, and forget about it till you need a thing, need to leave a stash at your bed/spawn in case you get killed and have to corpserun, or otherwise need ot leave it behind to make room for other things temporarily.

oooor you can temporarily put that chest full of eggs into a backpack, and the backpack into the chest, so that none of the 40 eggs you just separated and dropped near a fire get auto-collected by the chest

[weary island]

OIC, thanks.

[polar plank]

Anyone have something for this?

[iron compass]

It depends on what you want to achieve. Some of the ward mods will allow you to set items within the ward radius as indestructible. Or there is is GetOffMyLawn that allows you to set the health of player placed items. If you want crops to not be a target then PlantEverything will allow you to configure those to not be a target of enemies. I think InfinityHammer also lets you alter item health, IIRC.

Im wondering what is the best mods for valhiem specifically for building

Cuz its my first time playing the game and Im really enjoying it but I would like to have more options in building

[lean granite]

Is anyone else having any issues with the marketplace mod not working ??

[iron compass]

Are you after mods to help you build or ones that add build pieces? Build_Camera_Custom_Hammers_Edition gives the option to freefly a certain distance away from your character when building, to help with placement of pieces. Gizmo gives additional degrees of rotation and another plane of rotation. For build pieces there are so many. More_Vanilla_Build_Prefabs lets you build more items from the vanilla game, so is a good place to start. PlantEverything lets you plant things like raspberries etc to help decorate your builds. Missing Pieces and More Missing Pieces give a few more vanilla-type build pieces. Then there are full on mods that add lots of build pieces. Balrond has some good ones.

[ionic trail]

Infinity Hammer, Gizmo, More Vanilla Build Prefabs, Build Camera

[wicked plinth]

Thanks bro

Do i download it from thunderstorm?

[iron compass]

Yeah, I use R2Modman as a modmanager, and that links to Thunderstore and you can search for modds and download them that way

[hexed goblet]

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/ZenDragon/ZENHEIM/

try this. Install into its own profile.

[shadow pumice]

if im the host do i need to have my friends to have the same mod in their r2modman for it to work or just me the host?

[celest tiger]

Hi guys, I'm using Hip Lantern by Shudnal, and using the mod description (and ingame testing) I can't figure out what counts as 'indoors'. Does anyone know?

[hexed goblet]

Yes, while not true for all mods, the vast majority of mods just work better and more reliably if everyone had a copy. It’s not true for all mods, but unless you know the fine details of how they work or the readme explains it well the easiest thing is to just make sure everyone is running the same mods and same versions of those mods. That way there is less chance of errors.

[hexed goblet]

In a dungeon is indoors

[celest tiger]

ah I thought it meant like while I'm sheltered

[worldly garnet]

When the server you're on and your game both have the same mod and the server 'syncronizes' and changes some of the mod's config options when you join it, does that change the option settings in your mod's .cfg file or just change them in your game's memory but not in your actual .cfg file?

[ionic trail]

Second variant

[river moon]

for some reason i thought the stone plains pillars gave way more stone

kinda in a weird situation, apparently spawners are nerfed for farms in relicheim, so getting stone kinda sucks. does lootmultiplier still work? i wanna at least increase the drop rate of stone

[hexed goblet]

Memory

[wicked plinth]

Guys pls help i just launched the game without mods and everything i built disappeared how can i get back to old backup

[ionic trail]

Check in game backup

[hexed goblet]

Did you build stuff using modded content ? Modded build pieces ? If so they won’t be visible without the mods installed.

And if you saved your game after removing them they are gone.

You would need to reinstall the mods and restore from backup in that case.

However, if you only used vanilla build pieces then the content will be there. But you may need to restore from backup. Also if you changed the world size or world gen you will need to ensure the mod is installed.

[shadow pumice]

hello i jsut added the horse mod in existing save
so do i need to make a new save to see the horse? or do i just go to undiscovered chunks?

[clear lily]

there is a few different horse mods, but pretty sure they all work the same, horses will just spawn randomly in the world. no discovery needed, just patients in finding them or spawn them in with admin command if impatient.

[glacial prairie]

Cheers Vikings
I'm currently having the problem that I can't access all the mod structures.
You can see the number of structures in each Hammer folder, and that's the problem. Several folders have over 100 structures, but only 96 can be displayed per folder.

As far as I know, you can't scroll.

Does anyone have a solution? It would make me very happy.

guys which mod adds bounties and the enchantment thing

maybe im just stupid, i have the epic loot mod but didnt see enchanting so far maybe its cuz i didnt kill elder yet ?

yes i am just stupid, u just need fine wood lmao

[river moon]

i recommend target portal as well for the bounty system. cuz youll need like 100 portals lol

[river moon]

i need a mod like oremine only for stone, and tar lmao

[edgy marten]

Hello my fellow vikings. I am asking you if anyone knows if there is a mod, which gives extra carry weight based on bosses defeated.

[hazy edge]

hello does anyone know of the definitive good modpack that people use? something with ship enhancements, weapons, etc.

[clear sequoia]

Good shout thank you, however i dont see the bounty system yet?

I have the enchantment table , are the bounties a separate mod

[river moon]

It's possible. Bounties are in the relicheim pack but I don't know if it's it's own mod or custom for relicheim

Haldor has the bounties with this. Epicloot is severely nerfed in relicheim and you basically have to do bounties to enchant gear

[hexed goblet]

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/ZenDragon/ZENHEIM/

You can start with this and put ships and weapons on top if you want. This package is fully tested and works

[hazy edge]

what do you mean put ships and weapons on top? like separate mods? also does this clash with any other mods?

[hexed goblet]

all mods have a potential to clash, you will have to try and see if other mods clash. But out of the box this set does not clash with itself and it's fairly widely compatible.

as to "ships" and stuff i don't know... you have to find your own mods for that. this is a core pack that makes valheim feel more polished and makes it more challenging.

click the link, read

[hazy edge]

im not quite the hardcore player yet, so more challenge is not exactly my cup of tea yet, but the QoL looks great in this

[hexed goblet]

you can tune the difficulty in the settings. out of the box it's only slightly more difficult because it asks you to immerse yourself and to find the cartography table before you get a map. other than that it's pretty close to vanilla.

you also get a compass once you can make an iron nail

but those features are optional, you can disable them if you just can't play without a map from the start. i personally find the challenge of building roads and marking paths to be more fun so it's on by default.

[hazy edge]

okay ill check it out and put it at the top of my list, thanks for your input, really helpful

[hexed goblet]

you are welcome, use a modmanager like r2modman or Gale to install it

[hazy edge]

yea just got r2modman its so easy and helpful

[hexed goblet]

put it in it's own blank profile, that is the easiest way to set it up.

oh and apply all the updates.

oh one more thing, out of the box, you have to keep the fires lit or monsters will spawn inside your base... but it's like 25 game days for a fire to go out... that's hours and hours, so it's not hard. in vanilla a workbench protects you, this is different, keep your torches and fireplaces lit to prevent monster spawns inside your base. .. fun twist to give light more utility than just light 😉

[hazy edge]

i prefer that over the questionable workbench mechanics so great

[hexed goblet]

the cursor will tell you how many game days are left on a fire so you never have to guess

and you can see the perimter of coverage if you hold a torch

[hazy edge]

atp you should just be a dev wtf

[hexed goblet]

lol, i was... just not for this game. 😄 this is just a hobby for me

[ionic trail]

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/RustyMods/Almanac/

or Epicloot

[marsh vale]

does almanac come with good defaults or do you need to create everything yourself?

[wise veldt]

i'm working on a mod that auto-pins objects on the map. I'm wanting to test a feature but I need to be able to differentiate pins the mod has placed from pins manually placed or placed by the core game. this isn't an issue during the session when those pins are added, but after logging off and back on, obviously, my mod loses all the data it was tracking. apart from having my mod create a file and adding I/O operations to have a "permanent" resource to refresh the data, is there anyway i can differentiate between manually added pins vs pins my mod would add? (also, apart from altering the pin names with some kind of marking string). thank you!!

[oak halo]

I think pins are saved with CreatorID/Name fields, you could probably achieve your goal by abusing them. Be careful though, If I remember correctly, certain actions (reading map table) will remove all pins with a non-zero creatorId different from the player's id

[wise veldt]

lol, yeah. the OwnerID field; i tried that, and it did mess things up

[oak halo]

I'm doing that in my mod, but I only manipulate map table data

[wise veldt]

map table data? are you referring to something in the Minimap class, or one of your tables?

[marsh vale]

probably the cartography table that lets players share pins

[hexed goblet]

track the position of the pins you added and persist that data to the player's customData field. you can pack the Vector2 array into a ZPackage and write the zpackage as as a base64 string to customData.

[wise veldt]

I was not aware there was a customData field! Cool

[shadow pumice]

hello vikings, i want to ask about the passive powers mod
i am using it on my server. now i want to ask about the activation feature for short burst of power, it cant be activated by pressing F unfortunately. do you guys know why?

[tired crescent]

Because the power is passive via the config still?

[wise veldt]

I haven't been able to locate any information on customData. Is it supposed to be a field in the Player class?

[hexed goblet]

Two places. itemData or maybe it was ItemDrop and Player or perhaps it was PlayerProfile. I forget. There is an m_customData. I can’t quite remember the name

You can add custom data to the player and to items

It’s just a dictionary string string

Just look at the save routine of player

You will see it serializing custom data

[wise veldt]

Ok, cool. Thank you!
Do you happen to know what the "m_author" field in Minimap.PinData is used for? I was looking at that as a possible solution before learning about the customData

It has a type of PlatformUserID

[kind pumice]

Just be careful about how/when you load your zpackage back from Player.m_customData as it can be fragile. My other suggestion is write a version number into the zpackage first for future revisions.

[spark atlas]

can anyone suggest mods that will go together and make valheim a much more rpg like game like levels and systems?

[tawdry chasm]

is there mod for place the upgrades benches so it can close each other?

[shadow pumice]

how to change that its for my server

[hexed goblet]

It tracks the author

[wise veldt]

Lol. Well, is that supposed to mean something though? Because there doesn't seem to be a meaningful application. I mean, we got ownerID.

Of all the map icons I've placed, I'm pretty sure m_author hasn't been used

[hexed goblet]

it's used by vanilla, just trace it.

ownerID isn't the same as author. owner is network owner. author is who created the pin, remember pins can be shared in vanilla.

[tired crescent]

It is a way for them to track who the pin came from.

Technically no full/current use in the vanilla game.

[ancient charm]

Is there a mod that allows scaling resource drops to number of players? I'd like to do a base (like 1.25) + per-player multiplier (like 0.25) so if I had 3 players it would be a drop rate of 1.25+(2*0.25)==1.75. I can't decide whether it should be based on players connected to the server or players in that loaded zone? but if such a mod exists already awesome if not I might be writing it.

[loud beacon]

Hello, can someone assist me with understanding how to change mod settings.

I just downloaded mods for the first time, some quality of life mods

[weary island]

You can install a configuration manager mod and do it while inside the game.

Or you can do it manually outside the game by just editing the mod's .cfg file in the BepInEx folder's config folder with a text file editor.

You should run the mod first and let it create it's .cfg file the first time it runs.

[loud beacon]

Uhh okay..

Would u be down to hop on a quick call when i get home?

[weary island]

I can't VC. My cat chewed up the mic cord. 😢

Hi Im using CLLC and i used linear on drop chance i dont feel it though it should multiply by the stars and i dont see it ive been keeping eye on it and deer 1* dies only drops 2 hide (sometimes 1 for 0*)* same as 0* and for boar 2* only drops 2 hide 1* and 0* drops 1 hide. Does it really multiply based on star like 1* is equal to x1? so 1 x 1 = 1?

[sleek otter]

can you briefly explain what the issue was caused by? it was somehting about a 2009 dll iirc. I need to convey this info to another mod author :}

[wise veldt]

i've decided i'd like to go after EVERY last ounce of my copper nodes. what are some mods people choose to use for this purpose?
i'm aware of DigDeeper, and one i just found called Rune Magic to create a bubble of dry land. but i am wondering what other methods/mods people use

[sleek otter]

@wise veldt Digitalroot-Heightmap_Unlimited_Remake
Searica-AdvancedTerrainModifiers and its shovel tool, normally i set its maximum radius to 5m, but its max of 20m makes excavating a node stupid easy. Then just clear any trees touching it, or anything within ~3m, and hit it a few times. Water level is irrelevant.

given that you seem to have never done anyhting this before, you probably should also use JereKuusela-Ore_Support-1.9.0 to visualise how 'clear' the copper node needs to be of surrounding items

[sleek otter]

a few of the portal related mods have some degree of control with respect to this, but you probably should also look at progression based mods, as they specifically define such things.
Currently i'm using Smoothbrain-TargetPortal, with VentureValheim-World_Advancement_Progression being used to specify the boss key required by each player (individually, not just a global key everyone gets then someone else kills a boss) before they can teleport each metal.

caveats: VentureValheim-World_Advancement_Progression is excellent, but isn't completely perfect. It disallows the use of a few things like poison arrows, despite finding them well before killing bonemass. ie: some items have boss-kill requirements that are a level higher than they should be. Also for no apparent reason the server i am running it on has had zero raids, no matter how i set the server (-setkey playerevents ), and no matter how i set the mod's option (global vanilla, or specified by the most boss-advanced player present)... nobody is complaining, and it's probably an obscure mod conflict, but Oriana also has said that she doesnt intend to do updates, even minor ones apparently, until final game release. I'm ok with the mod as it stands, but clearly its still a little imperfect at this time.

[viral agate]

Is there a mod that allows you to take all from chest, but leave 1 of each item in the chest? This would then allow for easily using the place stacks option to put things into the chest again.

Friend has an issue where all food buffs only last 7m but theyre normal for me
are there any mods that can adjust food buff duration that may be causing this?

[sleek otter]

use azu-craftyChests instead. It has a yml config file where you can customize its behavior, and personal chests are already excluded from pulling materials

[sleek otter]

if you play that character without mods, and it gets auto saved, your inv is usually gone.

your friend has a mod conflict, or is doing something illicit thats breaking the game, or is just being dramatic

[sleek otter]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736

[sleek otter]

yeah, mods that work fine for you as host will often be weird when theres other players. Either figure out which mods are causing it, or set up your old pc as an actual dedicated, and only put server-side mods on it. It's due to the fact that client side mods arent always designed to tolerate multiplayer situations, or to play well with othe rmods at all, that you are seeing these issues.
Also if you have comfy-gizmo installed thats likely the cause; apparently you cant run it on a server, not even a locallyhosted one. it has to be on the client only.

[hexed goblet]

If you use crafty chests then you are accelerating the gameplay loop. It should be mentioned. Some people do not want the game to go faster or break the manual immersion. Not everyone wants that. ZenConstruction gives an alternative where you open only the single chest next to the workstation and no magical item teleportation.

[wise veldt]

@sleek otter do you have any recommendations for mining the last remnants of a copper node that goes underwater?

Would it be possible for you with your vast experience to tell at a glance what could be causing issues?

[sleek otter]

well you have an awful lot of things going on there, some of which overlap a bit, but nothing that stands out aside from maybe try removing localizationCache and startupAccelerator; they can eaily make things weird... and I dont really suspect it but of course I also cannot tell what wackydb is touching, so it could be related to that too; as it can alter pretty much anyhthing in the game depending on your edits.

im curious how much VRAM your system uses with all those wiz/armory (asset heavy) mods

[buoyant haven]

I'll be able to run it and check once I'm home but it's likely not a hardware issue since I do have a monster pc
Weird thing is we didn't change any settings for the things that are affected such as item reistances, boss powers, food duration etc...

[clear lily]

I agree, startupaccelerator doesnt work with all mods so turning it off helps if running into weird things like "no errors but doesnt start".

[sacred ether]

anyone know of any mods that add Human npc on dedicated server , like extra enemies or camps to fight , wondering mobs etc ?

[sacred ether]

have you used this ? reading it says something about using tammed vikings ? is that part of this mod as well ?

[clear lily]

I have never used it.
I feel the game is better without the presence of humans, adds to the "you're a spirit undergoing trials" as you're not even alive, not in midgard, but some sort of liminal space between life and valhalla.

[meager silo]

Looked up Dragon Riders and those crafting recipes are craazy
it's like you're intended to spawn the items in with dev commands

[weary island]

IIRC, they're also adjustable in the mod's .cfg file.

[meager silo]

I see

[meager silo]

actually, sorry for the stupid question, but if anyone here keeps up with mods, what are the modpacks you'd recommend?
I wanna see how different the game can be but i'm not sure what mods are updated and which ones can even be used on current version of the game

I assume combat update broke a lot of mods because of it's many changes?

[sleek otter]

Some people accumulate a selection of mods that do specific things, the selection of which gets refined a bit each time they start a new server. You wont always find this type in a thunderstore modpack.
Other people look for big weapon/armor/magic mods that tend to move away from the the vanilla game experience/balance. There seems to be more potential for mod conflicts and weirdness in thiis scenario when mods from multiple authors are combined. These you will often find in modpcks.

Game updates break many mods, almost every update, it depends what got changed in the game.
If the mod is listed on thunderstore, and not marked as depreciated it has in theory been tested against the current bepinex, and will therefore work, at least in isolation from other mods.

You can disable the low-map mod (ZenMap, is just a restricted map, it's not no-map)

And you can put content packs on top like MoreWorldLocations or Therzie's stuff.

It’s a flexible foundation

if you do find mods that are broken, let the author know, most the time they dont know or just assume it works cause no one says anything.

Anyone know how to handle running a modded dedicated server through r2modman when the server is being hosted by gportal with valheim plus built in to gportal?

We originally played the server with having to download valheimplus and put it into our local valheim steam folder

When we launch valheim through r2modman it doesn't launch with the valheimplus that we put into our steam folder

Do we need to just not use valheim plus? Add valheim plus to our r2modman? (Concerned about it being a different version and not containing all of the settings we use from the gportal interface)

[edgy marten]

Use filezilla to upload and update mods on gportal server

[supple siren]

I did, the issue is that r2modman doesn't load the valheimplus locally

Do you have to use valheimplus?

copy/pasting this from my general help post. Thanks!

Hey guys, figured I'd ask here first cause i can't find ANYTHING online about it or who it's by. I accidently downloaded a mod, possibly in valheimplus? but i'm not sure. It gave my create a character fully dynamic hair and beards.

I somehow turned it off in the process of making the mods all work together and can NOT find it at allll. I had chosen a straight long hair option with bald on top and my beard was long and flowing. does anyone at all know what the hell mod i had?? lol please and thank you.

[scarlet latch]

Please forgive my ignorance. I don't play solo with mods, but I'm interested in playing in servers that have them. However, every time I ask about their mods, I'm just given a code with no more information. What am I supposed to do with this code?

[clear lily]

It's probably a profile code for mods, if they say something like "here is the profile code for mods" they are talking about using R2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager to add a new profile using a code that will install all required mods for that server.

in the profile Select for R2modman/Tmm there is an "Import/Update" option, select that and choose Import Profile from code.

[scarlet latch]

Can you point me to a newbie guide for this stuff? Preferably one geared to idiots like myself.

Start simple, do you have R2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager?
If not that is step one to using mods - using a proper mod manager, if you use Vortex you already started wrong 🙂
After having that it's simple as Selecting your game "Valheim Client" not server.
Then it asks to make a Profile, from there you can create your own to install mods, or you can import a code a server gives you. You can have as many profiles as you like, each with differnt mod combinations.
After mods are installed you simply click "Start Modded" on the mod manager and it should load those mods.

[scarlet latch]

I don't see Valheim Client as an option when opening r2modman

[clear lily]

type it in the search

[scarlet latch]

I had start vanilla or start modded

[clear lily]

then you have already done the game select part, if you're at that screen it's wanting you to install mods or create a new profile

[scarlet latch]

I don't see those options either

[clear lily]

ok go to Settings, then Profile Select

you're probably in the Default profile

[scarlet latch]

Idk what that mean

[clear lily]

Settings>Profile then "Change Profile"

that will bring you to the screen to where you can Import a code

[scarlet latch]

Thank you

It would be really helpful if there was a written guide for this for reference. Do you know where one could be?

[clear lily]

yeah that is a better vid than what I made, mine is for fixing if you installed vortex first because I run into that a lot.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZSB-5Pjm0g

[meager silo]

Here's it's shown how to install it to the "Default" profile
You can create a new profile for that too

So you can have the server modpack separately

I'd take some screenshots to show but I'm not on PC

[clear lily]

well now that he knows how to change profile in it that is the big thing people might get stuck on with profiles

[meager silo]

Unironically almost accidentally installed thunderstore because I forgot that r2modman is not just for RoR2

[scarlet latch]

Thank you guys

[meager silo]

No problem

[clear sequoia]

Op = overpowered, just saying thank u lol

[tawny creek]

I was wondering if anyone’s able to help me code something

[hexed goblet]

Ask

[tawny creek]

@hexed goblet So I installed the better ballista’s mod on our mod man, but every time I go in the config to adjust the range cause I don’t like the default 50 so I was trying to change it to 90 but every time I load into the game, it keeps going back to 50

[hexed goblet]

That’s not a code question. That’s an issue with the mod. Ask the author of the mod.

[edgy marten]

Idea for a mod: it would upload a png of your worlds map showing only what's been explored, to a discord channel or paste it to a folder you can take the png file and share it.

[hexed goblet]

That exists. NoMapPrinter

[edgy marten]

thank you Zen. love your mods btw.

[hexed goblet]

Btw. Not exactly what you asked for but ZenMap makes nice full screen maps. No sync with discord though.

[edgy marten]

yeah i don't personally use it. Since I'm not used nomap/having the map items in order to open map.

[hexed goblet]

Ok

Then yes. For traditional vanilla map NoMapPrinter I think does what you want

[little scaffold]

Which is better? Jewelcrafting or EpicLoot?

[hoary cedar]

Hi everyone, I can't use the console commands in Valheim. I rented a server through G-Portal and play with Valheim Plus. I want to change the weather (env sunny), but I keep getting this message: is not valid in the current context.
Can someone please help me?

[tired crescent]

Depends on who you ask.

[tired crescent]

Vanilla Valheim doesn't allow devcommands on servers (even if you're admin). You need a mod to allow that.

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/JereKuusela/Server_devcommands/

[little scaffold]

which do you prefer?

[tired crescent]

Jewelcrafting.

[hoary cedar]

i have to install this mod? i play not vanilla

[tired crescent]

If you want commands to work. Yes

[dawn shuttle]

What are some mods yall cant play without

[short flicker]

Anyone interested in RTD overhaul modpack?

[wise veldt]

so i just noticed that my hoe tool has the ability to place/create/spawn stone harvestables. is that from the PlantEverything mod? if so, how do i turn that off?

[marsh vale]

its default, stones dont respawn so unless you have drop modifier increased it a 1:1 ratio and just lets you place stones for visual effects

[wise veldt]

ah, so Vanilla Valheim includes the ability to place stone?

[marsh vale]

yes

[wise veldt]

what!? since when? lol! and we're talking about the round balls of rock that you can pluck to harvest stone, not paven paths, right?

[marsh vale]

its a single stone right? you place it then put away the tool and you can pickup 1 stone from it and then its gone

[wise veldt]

dunno. never placed it. never felt a need. i just assumed PlantEverything added that feature. i only have it for my brother who wants to be able to plant rasp and blue berry bushes.
but, yeah, when i turn that mod off, that feature is still there, so....
good times! having it to be able to decorate with those stones does make sense.

[marsh vale]

planteverything does but youll find it on the cultavator, the one on the hoe is vanilla

thats how you know its newish

[wise veldt]

we know its new because its on the hoe? not sure i follow that reasoning.
well, they probably ought to fix the world multiplier setting on these stones then.
because i can create infinite amount of stone now.

[hexed goblet]

i can reproduce the issue: you are correct, that's a bug in vanilla. when the resource rate is high you can plant a stone and get 2x back thereby infinite stones.

with normal or low resource rate it does not happen

[marsh vale]

It's been brought up many times in the other channels. Devs said it's not a bug to get infinite stone with increased drop rate

[dawn shuttle]

How do I do a modded co op world? Does my friend have to download the same mods or can he just join me

[timid shoal]

No.
Most mods are client side, so only the clients using them will see and be able to use a mod. So if you use a mod that add building pieces, and you build with those pieces, that will get purge from the game if you leave the base, and those without the mod enters it. And all will be "reset" and gone when you return. Or expanding chest size; You use the mod and fill the modded chest with stuff, then you leave the base, and someone without the mod opens the chest, and all excessive stuff can now be lost.
Then some mode installed on server as well as clients, will force every client to have the mod. So others not using it, are blocked to enter.
TL;dr Read carefully the mod descriptions and understand what the mod will do, before invite others to join your server.

[dawn shuttle]

What mod is removing my minimap

[hexed goblet]

ZenCompass replaces the minimap with a compass, ZenMap moves the large map to the cartography table. I suggest reading about them and how they work. They have many options. The default configuration is designed for progression.

[tired crescent]

Second time I have seen that very question today.

[alpine grotto]

Hi everyone, redirected here from #dedicated-server channel with my question: is there any way to force server return online players names in 2457 port response?

[mortal perch]

is there any mod for recording from a distance, e.g. while building?

[ionic trail]

Free fly mode

[languid lynx]

I have a treat for you 😂

[proper halo]

Oooooooooh!

For me??? 🥳

You finished it? 👀

[languid lynx]

So with my IdentityCrisis mod you "could" play as a naked Dvergr but since it only replaces the model it felt lame.
Lately though I've found a way to make it feel like you're TRULY a Dvergr with animations, attacks, everything!

[proper halo]

DUDE!!!
That is amazing!!! 🤩

[languid lynx]

You can even BUILD xD

I'm gonna record a video later and you will see what I mean.
I think you're going to love it and as a bonus you can play as ANY of the Dvergr types!

[proper halo]

I am sold already! 🤩 🤩 🤩

[languid lynx]

I need to ask though, did you ever try that other mod where you can become a creature with quest and all?

[proper halo]

I think I did - but this was a while ago so I can't say 100% if I'm sure 🤣

I know it's not in my mod folder right now at any rate

[proper halo]

What was the name of that one?

[languid lynx]

CreatureQuest I think

[proper halo]

Mmmm
No I don't think I used that one

Name is not familiar

[languid lynx]

Look forward to a video later then

[proper halo]

I am grinning like a little kid 😆

[gloomy sail]

Hi. Could anyone help me find or make a simple mod to replace all insect-like creatures in the game?

My girlfriend has a phobia of insects.

The mod probably just needs to change the look of the creatures, nothing else (i think)

[hexed goblet]

You could just play up to mistlands and then stop

[languid lynx]

As simple as it gets.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/CookieMilk/YouHaveBeenReplaced/

[gloomy sail]

Thanks! Does this just replace the look of the entity, or the entity itself?
Like would it replace Deathsquito's with Deathsquito's that look like flying boars?
Or would it actually just replace them with real boars?

If it just replaces them with boars then there would be no way of naturally getting the Needles

[languid lynx]

It replaces the creature itself.
Did you want to replace only the model?

Oh you're right, maybe I should add that feature to only replace the visual :D

You could use another mod to add needle drops?

[gloomy sail]

That would be awesome.
I found this with chatgpt but idk https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/cjayride/CustomMeshes/

But maybe for now I can try find a way to just set the move speed of all the bug-like creatures to 0.
I think that'll be a big help for her if they can't move.
Anyone know how I could go about doing that?

[hexed goblet]

Fish in every Crypt! Skeletons in every soup!

[languid lynx]

Adding it now!
You wanted flying boars, you will get flying boars.

[gloomy sail]

you absolute legend

I can't wait 🤣

[versed lily]

can someone tell me why my valheim world modded come out with no tree and just landscape?

[hexed goblet]

check your error logs, also make sure you have your lodbias at least 2

on the console type lodbias 5

[versed lily]

im new to modded valheim what's lodbias and where do i turn it to 2?

[hexed goblet]

or you can just change the settings in the valheim settings to set the level of detail slider

if something set your lodbias to 0 it can remove all trees

however, that is only a guess as to your issue. you may have something else wrong. check your error logs if that didn't work

[versed lily]

what does the lodbias do?

[hexed goblet]

level of detail = lod ... lodbias is how close to the camera (lower number) before it starts clipping objects from view.

[versed lily]

ive spend over 2 hrs trying to play rtd modded with some other mod i just found a new one havent play around it yet

[hexed goblet]

you could try my modpack, it's ready to go

[versed lily]

i just use devcommands fly around and see there are no plain landscape with no tree anymore

[hexed goblet]

dunno

[versed lily]

for the past 1and a half hr ive been getting this issues in every map generation

[hexed goblet]

something sounds like it didn't generate your world correctly.

what mods are you using ?

if you load the world in vanilla are the trees still missing ?

[versed lily]

i think all rtd and other qol modded

[hexed goblet]

are you using a mod manager like R2 or Gale ?

[versed lily]

i use r2

[hexed goblet]

try this in a new profile:
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/ZenDragon/ZENHEIM/

then put the content packs on top one at a time.

careful with adding QoL stuff, Zenheim comes preconfigured with a ton of QoL stuff ready to go.

content packs are RtD stuff, they add monsters and items etc..

[versed lily]

wdym by this?

[versed lily]

is this mod is like a rtd combine?

it tell me to update 31 of the mods

[hexed goblet]

yes update everything

you can always update the ZenMods, I keep them all current.

[versed lily]

i will try it later thank again

do i need to use lodbias as well?

[hexed goblet]

no, not quite like RtD combine. It's a collection of mods i wrote and a few community mods that improve the base game and fix a lot of broken things. You can put content like the RtD mods on top of it if you want to have new monsters or quests etc. But ZENHEIM is perfectly functional as a base layer for an improved valheim experience without unbalancing the game. By default it's low-map and asks the player to explore their surroundings and craft maps and compass. But you can disable that if it's too hard. Read the descriptions of things. Press F1 in game to view configs.

[hexed goblet]

no, forget about the lodbias thing. That was just a guess. if it didn't fix the issue you were having that wasn't the issue then.

[versed lily]

sound fun after i beat rtd modpacks maybe i will try your out

[hexed goblet]

i mean, you can do it that way if you want, but there is no reason to do it that way. You can add/remove zenmods at any time. they are backwards compatible.

[versed lily]

i see but currently i have like 100+ mods that i just made

i want to add yours in it but idk if it will yk made me sit here another 1-2hrs again

[hexed goblet]

sure, then i suggest you do not add it to that mix, instead add it to a new profile and test it out. if you like it you can add content on top of it. don't mix it with a bunch of QoL mods because you will likely run into conflicts and misconfigurations. Start with a clean slate. ZENHEIM will work out of the box in a clean profile.

you can add content on top of it.

[versed lily]

yup this way i can try your later on

[hexed goblet]

ok

[versed lily]

also here a modlist found it from some youtuber and it indeed fixed the problem i was having.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ibRVjG5vSYRX2wfSV_2P90fZ4ORspQfZHGYqsw0cEcc/edit?gid=0#gid=0

[hexed goblet]

as to your existing situation. try loading your world in vanilla and see if the trees show. if they do not then something is broken in worldgen.

[versed lily]

i mean is it possible to get broken worldgen in like 9 of out 10?

[hexed goblet]

yup, you got quite a list. Good luck!

try the test i suggested to see if the world even loads in vanilla

[versed lily]

it finally did well thank for the lodbias something might use it for later issues.

[versed lily]

i only use the left side of the 1st series one tho

[hexed goblet]

there is a slider in vanilla settings menu that does exactly the same thing. You don't need to use the console to adjust it. it was just easier for me to say it via console because you could just type it.

[versed lily]

i see

[meager silo]

mfw I enchant my polearm and it gets the stupidass throwable modifier

(it replaces the spin)

[versed lily]

can you tell me why my world got no boar or deer spawning?

[hexed goblet]

no idea, probably one of your mods

[meager silo]

man when will they remove bears from monstrum it's such a bad enemy

[versed lily]

some mods i check in the configuration manager like RtDHorrors any other stuff show disable. is this normal?

[hexed goblet]

i don't understand what you mean.

[versed lily]

can i add other mod to your modpack like adventurebackpack or mmo

[hexed goblet]

you can try.. i can't possibly test with every other mod in existence. you should try them individually and see what happens. Some mods work, some don't, and some work partially.

it does work with EpicMMO

AdvBackpacks i think also works last time i checked.

There are a lot of configuration options available so even if things don't quite work you can usually adjust the settings between the different mods to enable/disable features until you get it the way you want. not always, but often possible.

however, the default configuration is balanced for vanilla progression - perhaps even a little bit harder than vanilla due to environmental hazards and logistics. I like to set resource rate to very low and monsters to very hard.

[tranquil star]

I've seen a Valheim YouTuber who seemed to have a mod which gives dedicated keyboard shortcuts for potions, any idea what that might be?

Not sure what the video was sorry, was a while ago

Also, what website do you guys use to look up mod listings?

[ionic trail]

ExtraSlots

[gaunt geyser]

Use Thunderstore for valheim mods.

[hexed goblet]

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/

[clear sequoia]

i just got sktoolbox and wrote /seed in console but it doesnt recognize

[hexed goblet]

try just seed by itself, no slash. also, what is sktoolbox ?

[clear sequoia]

tried all of them

sktoolbox mod - This is designed to extend the functionality of the console and chat commands. Commands featured in this mod are accessible from the console or chat, via a / prefix. This mod allows you to take control of your game regardless of cheats being enabled.

[hexed goblet]

oh... ok... i dunno i just use server_devcommands for that

also, is this a local game ?

[clear sequoia]

yea

[hexed goblet]

well, why don't you just logout and use the UI from the title screen?

[clear sequoia]

doesnt recognize it on the website

[hexed goblet]

huh?

what website?

[clear sequoia]

the map generator

i just want to see where my trader black forest t rader is

[hexed goblet]

ok, but why not go out to the title screen and get the seed from your world file ?

[clear sequoia]

@hexed goblet u mean from the fwl file in my files?

[hexed goblet]

in the title screen.. it shows you the seed next to the name of the world when you go to select your world.

ya, it's not copy/paste though

[clear sequoia]

@hexed goblet it doesnt work

when i enter it in the website

l6sDtlcr9F this is the seed, i did try this

[hexed goblet]

do you have terrain modifications mods ?

[clear sequoia]

nop

[hexed goblet]

expand world, bettercontinents, riverheim, etc?

[clear sequoia]

i don't

[hexed goblet]

well, if you are sure you have the correct seed then i don't know what to tell you

correct version of valheim?

[clear sequoia]

ya newest

[hexed goblet]

double check that you copied the seed correctly. case counts

[clear sequoia]

i tried all combos

[hexed goblet]

upper/lower is distinct

[clear sequoia]

even asked chatgpt to make a copy paste for me lol

[hexed goblet]

oh god, no don't do that

you don't need AI to copy something to a clipboard

that's like nuking a butterfly, lol 😄

[clear sequoia]

thats ture lol i just wanted to be super sure i was so over it

is there maybe a mod that reveals the map?

i just did it thru devcommands

fuck it

[hexed goblet]

if you have server_devcommands installed you can just type find Haldor

[clear sequoia]

is there other wording i should use? i just treid find Haldor

says found 0 objects containg haldor wtf

[bold plank]

I'm sorry if this is dumb, but I'm new to modding valheim and not entirely sure how it works. This mod needs BepInExPack_Valheim correct? Does that work with vanilla clients?

[clear sequoia]

can it not find haldor because im using epicloot?

[oak halo]

Yes, it needs bepinex. You need a modded host (I recommend a dedicated server, either rented or self-hosted), but the clients can be vanilla

[bold plank]

I run my own pterodactyl host, so that's not an issue.

I installed bepinex, but am getting "Cannot Connect" for both console and steam players so I'm sure I missed something, but don't know what.

[oak halo]

Were you able to connect before you modded the server?

[clear sequoia]

wtf my world legitamtely does not have haldor

[bold plank]

Ye, I have 2 server's up right now running the same configuration. One is being used currently, the other is testing the mods.

I have no issues on the first one, but the 2nd one that only has Bepinex with no other mods is having the connection issue.

[clear sequoia]

@hexed goblet legit gave me 0 results lol i just spawned haldor in the end outside my hous

[hexed goblet]

haldor, i think doesn't spawn until after you find him once.

he's got several possible starting locations... quantum Haldor

all the merchants work that way if i recall.. they don't exist until you discover them

[clear sequoia]

via devcommands i wrote find haldor it gave 0 results

[hexed goblet]

ya, prob because you haven't found him yet

[clear sequoia]

but it did give results for bog witch and the clothes lady

[hexed goblet]

ahh.. ok, then i was wrong

dunno.

[clear sequoia]

i even treid loading the world up without mods because haldor has bounties right w epic loot and it still gave 0 results, weird idk

[oak halo]

Does the BepInEx/LogOutput.log file exist? If it doesn't that means that bepinex is not running which could mean that you didn't install it correctly. If it does, check the file for error log entries

[bold plank]

I see the log, let me check the errors.

No errors that I can see.

Initializes fine.

[ionic trail]

Find Vendor_BlackForest

[oak halo]

You can use this to be (relatively) sure, that you didn't miss anything: https://valtools.org/parselog.php

Otherwise I'm out of ideas I'm afraid. If I was in your shoes, I'd probably reset the server to a clean (unmodded) install and check if I could connect before installing bepinex

[bold plank]

Don't think that's the issue tbh. I'll reinstall the server and try it.

[oak halo]

Those are normal (at least I also get them)

[bold plank]

Hmm.

Alright, so the BepInEx folder just goes in /home/container/ with all the start_game .sh files correct?

Then I change my startup command to have this: bash ./start_server_bepinex.sh

I think I've done everything correct, but I really don't know how modding works for valheim specifically.

[oak halo]

My server runs on windows and the procedure is different for Linux, so i don't know. But if the log file was created, I guess you installed it correctly. Were you able to connect after the clean Install before installing bepinex?

[bold plank]

Yup, had no issues before I installed bepinex.
