Sadly there's basically nothing for ocean related stuff.

[worldly garnet]

Well, there's a couple...

and

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Marshyman69/Marshymans_Rival_Ships/

[floral badge]

🤔

I guess we will cast a vote on the RtDOcean then. Has anyone good or bad things experienced with this?

[worldly garnet]

You can check over at the mod author's discord to see if there's any bugs, issues, or compatibility problems reported. He has a link to his discord on the mod's web page.

[floral badge]

Thank you

[lethal eagle]

Is autofuel mod broken? I can't seem to pull ingot into a chest once smelted.

[keen pond]

i just use azu auto store mod, once it pops out the smelter it pops into the nearest chest its in

also, the drawers mod is a godsend to pair with it

[lethal eagle]

who is the mod by?

[paper creek]

i was using AzuEPI (Extended Player Inventory) and accidentally opened the vanilla version of valheim and i spawned without any gear, went back to modded version and gear was gone there too. anything i can do or is it lost forever?

[worldly garnet]

You should have backup copies of your character in with the world's backups. You can use the Manage Saves menu to find and use them.

[paper creek]

sweet, will try that

[keen pond]

Ill let you know in a bit

[floral badge]

Is there a mod or something that handles the annoying problem where you can’t build something if your character is kinda close but not completely away from something and so it’s red even tho u could probably still place it?
Dunno how else to word that haha

[worldly garnet]

For your solo game, I think Server Devcommands lets you do that. And maybe Infinity Hammer, too.

It would be in their options in the .cfg files.

[untold yarrow]

I think infinity hammer will allow building in dungeons if I remember right.

[hazy cedar]

Silly question, I’m looking at the mod PlantEverything. The way it’s talking, it seems like only the “server host” player would need to have it and anyone joining would not? Is that accurate?

[kind pumice]

For any client who wants the ability to place the added pieces, they need the mod. For all config settings to work reliably (no biome restrictions, crop growth time, etc.) all clients need the mod. Dedicated server should have it as well to be an authoritative source of config synchronization.

So again, its client side only if you just want to place some extra flora. Non modded clients can see and interact with it. It will persist in an unmodded world or server.

[livid dove]

Did anyone give me an answer on my question about the ValheimPlayerModels mod?

[languid lynx]

What was it?

[livid dove]

If it still worked on the latest patch.

I was thinking of adding it to my modpack and seeing if anyone made any free player models to use with it.

[languid lynx]

3 years ago, PROBABLY NOT

[livid dove]

I'm meaning the one by "ValheimPlayerModels"

it's supposedly a patch to make it work with bog witch

[languid lynx]

Where?

[livid dove]

I don't think I am allowed to send links to mods in any chats so I'll just send it in DM's if thats ok.

[languid lynx]

Yeah you can send the link here, people do it all the time

[livid dove]

o ok then.

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

that one

[languid lynx]

OH, for some reason I only found the one 3 years ago.

[livid dove]

supposedly a fork.

[languid lynx]

Hmm yeah, I see!

The only thing is the tutorial uses an extremely outdated version of Unity.

[livid dove]

And I have no clue how to use unity or even how to model.

[languid lynx]

Well, the whole idea is for people to use their AVATAR RIG.

For example Furry streamers, VTUBERS or whatever.

[livid dove]

oh. It's that kind of mod.

Darn, thought it was one that allowed you to change your in game model.

[languid lynx]

If you just wanna change the model you can use.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/CookieMilk/IdentityCrisis/

[livid dove]

I know, but I experience too many bugs with that mod. Mainly being that turning back to player just causes me to keep bouncing off the ground.

[languid lynx]

Oh I see, I did update it not that long ago, maybe it works better now?
Other than that I don't really know of any other mod that let's just freely replace the model.

[livid dove]

At the moment I'm just using the Cackleheim mod.

[languid lynx]

That lets you become a hyena?

[livid dove]

ye. for now it's the best I got.

[languid lynx]

Maybe you wanna play as a Lemurian from RoR2

[livid dove]

no, I just want to not be human.

Sorry, Viking

[deep hawk]

where can I get the Valheim Plus pack?

[worldly garnet]

You mean this one? https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Grantapher/ValheimPlus_Grantapher_Temporary/

[deep hawk]

what about the mods that goes whit it ?

[worldly garnet]

Nothing goes with ValheimPlus except the BepInEx mod loader. V+ does everything all at once which is why it has so many other mod compatibilitiy problems.

[languid lynx]

And it gives you ads or did they take that out.

[deep hawk]

oh ok

[tranquil edge]

I have a couple of questions... i don't know about anyone else but there are five mods i cannot seem to live without
First person mode by Azumat, so helpful when building and so much more immersive when fighting or dungeon crawling.
contentswithin by MSchmoecker, because i like to see what i have and where i have put it at a glance.
craftfromcontainers by Grizzzly, because i have a bad memory and hate sad walking to a workbench only to find i have forgotten an ingrediant for something i am trying to build.
eternal_fire by Digitalroot, because there is nothing more annoying than returning to an old build after building structures somewhere else and before resting you have to go and chop wood for a damned fire. pluss nothing so sad as a build sat in darkness because you havn't visited for a while.
and finally,
Planteverything by Advize, because making your build fit in its rural setting after clearing the ground of flora to build it is an aesthetic i particularly like when constructing the perfect (for me) build.

And my question is, purely out of curiosity, what are your go to mods and why?

[worldly garnet]

For me, it's: ServerDevcommands, InfinityHammer, ExpandedPlayerInventory, OfficialBepInExConfigurationManager, NoSmokeStayLit, ComfyGizno, SearsCatalog, and GammaOfNightLights.

[deep hawk]

@worldly garnet got to try those mods

How do you use Server dev?

[worldly garnet]

It gives you commands like 'tod .5' to keep the game day at noon so it's easier to build, etc. And you can spawn stuff in like resources or even creatures. It also lets you fly which can help a lot when you're building. And it gives you map teleport where you can click on a point in the world map and immediately teleport there. Also, it lets you build at areas where you normally wouldn't be allowed. Probably some other stuff like that that I forgot to mention. 🙂

[deep hawk]

Where can I find it?

[worldly garnet]

Here. Read it's web page for interesting stuff.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/JereKuusela/Server_devcommands/

[deep hawk]

@worldly garnet Thank you

[deep hawk]

those these mods work with plus?

[worldly garnet]

Dunno. Haven't used Valhiem plus in years and not gonna start now.

[hexed goblet]

• ZenRedecorate because I like moving chests full of stuff without smashing them.
• ZenUI because I like a sane crafting UI and various other UI tweaks
• ZenUseItem so I don’t have to fumble with 1-8 hotkeys.
• ZenSign so that it’s easy to find anything in any chest.
• ZenHoverItem so that I can glance at contents of chests.
• ZenItemStands / ZenBeehive so that they open like containers and I can swap outfits on Armor Stands.
• ZenTargeting because I like to have Dark Souls / Zelda style camera target lock.

[worldly garnet]

Speaking of favorite mods... This is what ServerDevcommands and InfinityHammer let me do on my server. #mods-screenshots message

[spice marsh]

Anyone playing with Willybach's HD Valheim?

[hybrid fjord]

I installed it now, with VR also

[spice marsh]

How do you install it?

I followed the instructions on the mod page

Doesn't work

[hybrid fjord]

https://youtu.be/uhMvRiCRmSk?is=3ZUIK1YEGmP-mnep

[hybrid fjord]

.

[spice marsh]

This the same basic instructions just in a long video

Thanks though

[keen pond]

I wonder if a summoner only is viable

[keen pond]

who pinged

[jovial vigil]

heyya what mod do you guys use to prevent cheat

i was trying to use "you are being watched" with thunderstore mod manager but my friends seem to be couldnt join my server

[languid lynx]

The current combo is this.

ServerCharacters - People need to create a fresh character for the server, cannot bring old stuff in.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Smoothbrain/ServerCharacters/

AzuAntiCheat - Can only join with the mods that's on the whitelist, can only join with extra mods if they're on greylist.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Azumatt/AzuAntiCheat/

Then for extra admin stuff.

DiscordControl - Let's you do ANY server related stuff via Discord and set up advanced webhooks.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/CookieMilk/DiscordControl/

UltimateServerControl - Similar to DiscordControl but supports multiple servers with Discord + Webpanel.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/CookieMilk/UltimateServerControl/

YouAreBeingWatched - Lets you spectate players and look in their inventories.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/CookieMilk/YouAreBeingWatched/

YouAreBeingLogged - The ultimate logger, no one can escape!
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/CookieMilk/YouAreBeingWatched/

ServerCharacters, AzuAntiCheat, YouAreBeingWatched, YouAreBeingLogged needs to be on the server + all clients.
DiscordControl and UltimateServerControl only needs to be on the server.

[warped saddle]

Hello, is there a mod to remove storms from mountain and ashland biomes?

[spice marsh]

I wish installing graphics mods was f**in simple

[keen pond]

Should be with r2modman?

[spice marsh]

Should indeed but nope

For some stupid technical reason graphics mods work different from "normal" mods

That's why you won't even find them on thunderstore

[marsh vale]

graphics mods usually require replacing the original game files which r2 does not support

[uncut barn]

portals are a nice QOL feature, but they really take the fun out of logistics and trade routes. I figure using them to get around while still needing to make occasional trips to and from various locations is a good compromise for my play style(plus this would mean each portal location would need to be it's own well stocked outpost since I wouldn't be able to bring anything but the food and buffs I consumed before entering)

[languid lynx]

Check out my PortalPlane mod.
I like the carry weight limit idea, will probably add that as another restriction.

[uncut barn]

ideally I'm also looking for something that'd work clientside so I can play on vanilla servers with this as a self imposed restriction

[spice marsh]

I did it but it still doesn't work. I'm fkin clueless.

[floral badge]

I built near a “mystical force” and in order to finish some touches on a build I need a few metres inside this force but can’t. Is there a specific mod that targets this by shrinking it or allowing building inside there? Can you turn the mod off once you are done and it stays, if so?

[worldly garnet]

I think InfinityHammer does that.

[floral badge]

Thanks, this ended up in a doom scroll search until I found this:

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

very targeted changes which is great.

[snow coral]

I use BuildRestrictionTweaks

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

[floral badge]

This. This is what I need, thank you very much @snow coral

[keen pond]

cant seem to find it now, whats the food doesnt degrade mod people use?

[gaunt geyser]

Impactful skills does this based on your cooking skill.

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/MidnightMods/ImpactfulSkills/

[marsh vale]

is that done on craft or consume? i know theres another mod that modifies and makes what look like identical items not stackable becasue they give different stats

[gaunt geyser]

It works on consume, it doesnt modify the items at all. So you have normal stackable items, just as you get further in the game and skill up they last longer at higher values etc.

[keen pond]

i might do that one, didnt want to modify all skills though

just want food to degrade stats slower or not at all

[languid lynx]

Whoever made the new LoxMilkMod LOL, sounds amazing
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Moddermother/LoxMilkMod/

[gaunt geyser]

You can turn off the other configs if you want, there are also a few mods which do just the food side of things https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Crystal/Sated/

[keen pond]

this is more what i was looking for thank you

i hope it effects eitr lol

[mossy flume]

Hi, I'm trying to set up a dedicated server with the mods, and the only one that's giving me an error is Warfare. Do I need to install another mod for it to work, or is it not designed for servers?

[languid lynx]

Can you share what error you're getting?

[echo herald]

does BetterNetworking Valheim still work?

[marsh vale]

Work, yes if you mean it loads without errors. Actually provide a positive improvements, very debatable and situational.

[echo herald]

so it doesnt really improve desync issues? are there any other mods that do that that u could recommend by chance?

[worldly garnet]

You need to try it identify the actual problem that's causing the desync. It's often but not always something to do with one or another of your players comm stability and/or bandwidth issues. One player's bad lag to/from the server will cause everyone to experience their desync issue.

If your problem turns out to be due to be one of the players with a comm problem, you can consider several possible solutions.

Do a search for 'network' on thunderstore.io and check out the current mods that come up. Read through them and decide whether to try one of them. It's kind of a bother to have to set up a mod like that on the server and then also on all the player's games.

Another possible approach would be to isolate the issue to one player with a poor connection and have that player investigate whether they can install an 'internet tunneling' app on their PC. There are several free ones used commonly by video game players. An internet search will provide you with the possibilities there.

[echo herald]

Appreciate the detailed response. Thank you

[marsh vale]

you'll also find that there are multiple versions of BetterNetworking on thunderstore because all of them are just reuploads from nexus. and not even mirroring the nexus release but random people keep posting new forks that are just recompiles in the nexus commits when it stops working. the mod itself hasnt been updated since 2023. only version bumps, game library updates, and recompiling it

[sleek otter]

network + returnToSender

naturally smoothbrain will always pimp their own mod, but after using all of the optiions for a while each that combo seems most like it is actually good advice
network doesnt do anythiig except remove network bandwidth caps, and returnToSender may be moot at the current patch, but i trust SB's opinion, especially when im using it with several of their other mods
[update] Shudnal and an AI summary he prompted has enlightened me; and i have now removed returnToSender from my mod roster

ultimately there isnt much you can do to improve valheims networking becasue its essentially a client-side game... aside from maybe removing crossplay... or (more draconian) implemnting a ping kicker

the new vibecode-looking mod that has all of the words youd want to see, but may or may not actualy iplement them in a useful way... looks useful, but i'm not going to be testing that on any multiplayer server any time soon https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/VitByr/VBNetTweaks/

ie: in the same way that audio mods and fps-improver mods can sometimes have persistent effects even after you remove them... i dont want ot find out that a vibed mod has weirded out my network

[velvet galleon]

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/VegettaPT/No_Food_Degradation/

This mod works perfectly and as intended. It is on all my profiles.

[hexed goblet]

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

ZenPlayer can do this.

NOTE: by default stamina does degrade, but you can disable that in the configs.

[untold yarrow]

Has anyone used the offline companion mod? I'm not sure if they're for offline use only or can be used on a server.

[worldly garnet]

The mod's web page says that it's a "server side" mod. Meaning that it should be installed on a server.

[floral badge]

Is there some idea of a mod around spears where it equips another spear from inventory if you throw the one you are holding? “Sparespear” haha

[untold yarrow]

Haven't seen a mod like that, but there's one that returns a thrown spear back to you.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Goldenrevolver/Loyal_Spears_Auto_Pickup_And_Return_To_Owner/

[floral badge]

Thank you for sharing that, but the vote was that a QoL equipping of another spear would be great, yet a boomerang spear would remove the ‘gotta go get it again’ thing.
However there was thoughts around if it could detect that the spear has gone yolo then returning it would be great….

[marsh vale]

you dont understand what the does. it doesnt return immedately

[floral badge]

Oh!! Well then hey that might be part of the solution, thank you.

[marsh vale]

but for what you want you would need to have muiple speers and equip the next one after throwing. so another mod would need to be created to do that

[floral badge]

Yep 😊 might simply use the quiver mechanics or something for how arrows work.

[hexed goblet]

ZenCombat has a feature to make spears so that only the player who threw them autopickups them. They don't teleport back to you. It doesn't switch spears though.

[floral badge]

Interesting, however we are trying to find a way to have that particular mechanic so that you can travel around with a few spears and during active combat around trees and where you are moving a lot, being able to have more auto equipped until you can move to where the first spear is would be a dream come true. The trade off being that more spears take up room in inventory but that’s good (I know some mods allow stacking but that doesn’t quite feel right)

[sleek otter]

probably of no use to you, but your post made me think of these https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/?q=throwing&ordering=last-updated&section=mods

i imagine you could increase the stack size of each spear in wackysDatabase and then maybe they would be thrown individually... probanbly nt withouth special mod code or some kind of wackydb yml based on a bow and its reload sections, but i dont know

also: i used to carry 2 or 3 spears in Plains. MId to longrange surprise attack lox with missile attack with first spear, use second spear for stabbing and short range throwing while i drew the fight towards the first spear, and use the third spear if there was a situation where the other two were inconvenient.
Usually it was just 2, only once or twice did i use 3 spears. You just need to juggle them into their own hotslot prior to picking the fight

[floral badge]

Thank you. Using spears in mistlands is the hardest given some easily go flying over the edge and until you have a feather cape it’s bye bye spear for a while haha

[sleek otter]

thats one of the the issues i had with loyal spears:

• if the spear doesnt hit the ground, but does exceed the range specified in 'just return it'... the spear is gone
• players can set fast return times, go into troll cave, surprise headshot it, leave, wait for spear return, repeat - very weak
• buildcameraCHE just picks up the spear anyway
• some players will pick it up anyway too

I tried using Azumatt-BindOnEquip and disabling it for everything, then manually adding spears to the custom field..... which should work perfectly.. but i'm hassling him about that currently; im pretty sure its bugged

[hexed goblet]

i could prob make a tweak to have it auto-equip a spear in your inventory after you throw a spear.

[floral badge]

This would be lovely and thank you for picking this up when you have a spear minute or two. Could just be an on/off config thing or however you do that kind of thing.
The opinion around auto returning spears was if you moved too far away because you forgot or combat gets really busy and you move too far away. We thought it would get weird if you portal away or hopped on a boat etc so something to weight up about that bit.

[hexed goblet]

i'm not going to add the option to have the spear teleport to you. you have to go pick it up if you throw it. However, automatically equpping the next spear makes sense.

[floral badge]

Sensible choice, thank you.

[hexed goblet]

added to ZenCombat v0.8.1

is there any mods that make crossbows aim at corsairs? better archery only makes bows aim at corsairs

[marsh vale]

you can try https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Searica/ProjectileTweaks/

[hexed goblet]

Crossbows aim at crosshairs by default .. not sure what you mean ?

[heavy sage]

hmmm i remembered crossbows shoot at a bit lower like bows?

[deep hawk]

Do you guys know where I can find Epic loot that works

[gaunt geyser]

Thunderstore, install the dependencies 🤷 not hard

[deep hawk]

ok ty, can you also install mods on a MAC?

[marsh vale]

you can but theres no gui mod managers

[novel harness]

has anybody ever made a mod for optimization for CPU intensive areas?

[worldly garnet]

Try this one: https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/vaffle1/FPSPlus/

[gaunt geyser]

That mod only slightly modifies torch and light source flickering, and smoke which while CPU intensive, are typically not the sole sources of FPS drain.

I would hesitate to say it optimizes light flickering or smoke either

[remote crescent]

hey guys im returning after 2 years. I used to use unrestricted portal mod but apparently it doesn't work anymore? Is there an alternative?

[snow coral]

I use TeleportEverything; not sure if it’s identical functionally but it works well enough

[remote crescent]

okay is this a serverside mod? like can i still use it if im on another player's world?

[snow coral]

Not sure

[marsh vale]

check the world modifiers first to see if they do what you want before looking for mods

[keen pond]

whats everyones favorite decoration/building mods that add more options for you know...decoration and building

[civic cypress]

What are you guys' favorite magic mods? i Wanna do a Frigg inspired playthrough with knives, sword and ofcourse magic.
This might sound contradictive but id like a vanilla adjacent feel but with the potential of early magic primarily for leveling.

[civic cypress]

Its not huge, but i love OdinFoodBarrels makes for great looking containers for food and really brings life to the kitchen and or storerooom

[keen pond]

already got that

[worldly garnet]

InfinityHammer, ComfyModsGizmo, StructureTweaks, BuildIt, OdinsKingdom, OdinsArchetect and 5-6 others depending on my mood that you can easily find on thunderstore.io with a search for 'building'. etc.

[worldly garnet]

Try this one out. Read it's web page. https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Radamanto/Vikings_Magic/

[keen pond]

been looking at the ravenwood mods, they seem pretty cool. thoughtso n that?

[worldly garnet]

Yeah, I've used Ravenwood stuff in the past with good results.

It's really hard to choose just a couple building mods 'cause there are so many good ones.

Check their 'themes' by reading their web pages and choose according to your personal taste, assuming they're reasonabley current.

[uncut lark]

I just made this tutorial / tool to install and manage mods on a Mac, try it out!

slow mode is so lame and not being able to post screenshots in here is sucky #mods-screenshots message

[worldly garnet]

Yeah, most of us think it's a bit of a bother but it helps keep the discord server clean and usable without having to suffer down time when ever there's an attack from hackers.

Also, you can think of it as a reminder to get up from the computer and walk around for a couple minutes to keep your legs from falling asleep, if that helps any.

[keen pond]

did you see my post by chance?

[worldly garnet]

Find the post you're talking about, use the 3-dot menu in the upper right corner when you hover over it to Copy Message Link and then edit your post above and paste the link in after your text.

[keen pond]

i already linked it in the message you responded 😛

[worldly garnet]

Ok, good job. But I think the mod that puts that staff in the game is probably broken or being blocked by interference from another mod. I don't know what mod puts it in the game. Sorry.

[keen pond]

magic revamp

[worldly garnet]

Odd, the mod isn't that old and the author, blacks7ar, usually supports his mods pretty well. Sorry I don't have better advice for you.

Edit: You might be able to ping @blacks7ar on the YmirMods Discord server.

[olive patio]

Is there a mod that will remove world boss keys, but keep player keys? So the world can remain safe for new players, but existing players can still progress?

[worldly garnet]

You and your admins can do that with manual console commands when you want to.

Ii think there is a mod that does the same thing. I'll see if I can find it for you.

[olive patio]

I thought you needed a mod to do it on a dedicated server. Should have said that's what I was asking for, sorry.

[worldly garnet]

No problem. See if this mod does what you want.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/ZenDragon/ZenBossStone/

[olive patio]

That looks interesting, but adds a bunch more complication than I was hoping for. Thanks for finding it though!

[worldly garnet]

There is also a world modifier that controls player events. I believe you could set it manually for a world and then after that players get raided only in accordance with their own progression. So that they aren't getting advanced raids triggered by other player being further along than they are.

That's also a manual console command not a mod. But it only needs to be entered at the console once.

[olive patio]

Thank you. I'll do some research on that.

[worldly garnet]

I believe the command would be "setkey playerevents". You can find the info in here: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Global_Keys

[hexed goblet]

"Prevent high-level monsters from spawning in low-level biomes due to advanced world progression. Highly configurable, but the default configuration should meet most player needs. Off by default. Pair with ZenBossStone for excellent multiplayer per player progression."

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

[hexed goblet]

unfortunately, the "playerevents" key doesn't provide enough separation for a true per-player experience. It just changes the trigger keys for raids to be some items instead of global keys. However, the world itself still gets progressivly harder as high level mobs will start spawning in the meadows as the world advances. All that global key does is change the way raids are triggered to items known instead of global boss kills.

[gaunt geyser]

This mod can make it more much per-player raids, advancement etc https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/VentureValheim/World_Advancement_Progression/

[minor tangle]

Hello guys,
Is there a mod that allows us to use the icons from the World Generator site within the game?
Or can the AutoMapPins mod use those icons by default?
Has anyone tried something like this before?
Thank you

[maiden oracle]

Hello guys.
Does anyone know of a mod that resets your entire character on death? Like when you die you don't get a map marker of where it is, you spawn not on your bed but at the sacrificial stones, and you have to learn all the recipes again. Your entire explored map resets and all your skills go to 0, HOWEVER you still drop a gravestone of your items where you died.
I want a mod like this just so you lose all information, but you can still gather all your items again.

[hexed goblet]

if you are playing single player you could just delete your character after you die, make a new character, and then log into the same world.

[maiden oracle]

Thank you, however I did find death tweaks mod for most of what I was asking for. The only thing I couldn't find is reseting your explored map.

[hexed goblet]

console admin command resetmap will do what you want.

[maiden oracle]

Got that. Thanks again!

[hexed goblet]

btw, I make a mod called ZenPlayer that does most of what you want in the Death section of the configs. No map wipe, or recipe wipe though.

[round flax]

hello, trying to figure out the legends rift mod, does anyone have a link to their discord? their page link is broken and trying to get started

i’m scared if i throw in perch they’ll start swimming and make it angry

[unkempt finch]

Does anyone have any recommended mods for a player who mostly wants QOL or vanilla-based mods?

[snow coral]

@unkempt finch PlantEverything, PlantEasily, ValheimCuisine. 😹 I was destined to be a viking farmer.

[ebon nacelle]

@unkempt finch FireEternal (refills torches and hearths and things with no mats needed), BuildCamera (absolutely amazing) AzuClock (love to know when the dangerous night is coming on) and the other one is Plant Easily I think, thats all I use apart from Admin mods I need to run my servers, because I like to keep it very Vanilla

[snow coral]

ohhhh right I forgot FireEternal!

[fast flint]

MassFarming, Xportal, CraftFromContainers, AAACrafting may be nice

[hexed goblet]

Most of mine. They are designed to stay close to vanilla rules but fit QoL in without breaking immersion or breaking game rules. Take a look at ZenUI ZenSign ZenHoverItem ZenRedecorate ZenUseItem ZenPlayer ZenCombat ZenTargeting ZenWorldSettings ZenDistributor ZenItemStands ZenBeehive for starts.

All the mods are designed to work together and are optimized and stable.

[ripe belfry]

Guys how do I reset the whole world except the area around my base?
I spent so many weeks building this base last year and now my friend, a fresh player wants to player together with me.
I want to use my current world bc of the base but I want everything else like ores, trees, dungeons etc to be reset.
I have World Edit and World Upgarde mods I just don't fully understand the commands. I don't want to reset my base by mistake. Thank you.

[tribal topaz]

guys what i need to do for play valheim with mods?

[hexed goblet]

look into Jere's mods

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

WorldEdit, InfinityHammer, etc.

also you may want to just use something like PlanBuild to save the base, start a new world, then load it.

or ... just make a new base 🙂 that's part of the fun of the game

[hollow anvil]

Would anyone happen to know if a mod exists that's similar to Terraria's Magic Storage mod? Essentially where you have one single "terminal" that's able to access a large storage pool, whether the storage be custom or simply existing chests

I'd like an alternative to having walls of individually sorted chests and signs, something like a silo with an interface would be much more pleasant to manage

[twin vapor]

has any1 tried the new mod Valheim Ascended?

[slender pulsar]

@twin vapor , looking at the discription on Thunderstore, Its sounds like something I might try out on a new world, justto see how it work and forthe fun of it.
Will try and get it done tonight, and perhaps give feedback on how the mod is

[twin vapor]

i hate the fact theres no controller support for the added abilities

and the fact item descriptions stay on screen even u close inventory

but guy has NO option to contact him or provide feedback

[hexed goblet]

You should look into ZenSign + ZenHoverItem, it's similar but not a silo concept. You can find anything in any box by middle clicking the item in your inventory. And you can use signs to track the location and amount of each item in your warehouse WITH THE ICON. So it effectivly gives you a "signboard" to see everything. You can tap a sign to find the correct chest. Screenshots on the store page. The signs do NOT have to be attached to the storage boxes. They can be placed anywhere.

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

[languid lynx]

Not many authors bother with controller support.

[twin vapor]

we exist too damit

[hexed goblet]

all my mods support controller

[twin vapor]

but do u have an overhaul of skills? :p bc vanilla skills just.... bore me tbh

[hexed goblet]

no, but i let you lock them to whatever value you want

i think skills are boring too, hence i let you lock them and just use gear

[twin vapor]

even skills reworked.... doesnt allow u to choose skill ups with controller lol

cant press + or minus

eh i dont like that approach either

just the "gaining" part needs to be tweaked

project zomboid did this aspect VERY well....

but elder scrolls, valheim.... a few others are just terrible at it

[languid lynx]

Vanilla has controller support no?

[twin vapor]

vanilla does but alot of mods dont

even some actions are lacking in vanilla however

like zoom in/out

im old... keyboard and mouse twitching just isnt for me anymore... my hand has a weird small twitch that doesnt allow me to really handle a mouse in action gaming

strategy games and stuff like that, its fine, who cares

[frail fable]

need some help with randyknapp epic loot

[hexed goblet]

Zoom in and out exists in vanilla on gamepad

[topaz coyote]

Hey, for those of you who’ve already played Valheim with mods, which ones would you recommend (QOL mods or changes that don’t ruin the game)? There are four of us who want to play, and two of us have already played the game.

[hexed goblet]

Mine.

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

[topaz coyote]

Is it stable ?

[hexed goblet]

Yes, very

Apply all updates

[topaz coyote]

It says it requires “shudnal-Seasons,” but the description doesn't mention the seasonal change. Is your thing like a modpack?

[hexed goblet]

That is a modpack which includes all my mods via the core pack and it also includes a few community mods like seasons.

Install it with Gale or r2modman

Then apply all updates

[topaz coyote]

And just for the record, regarding the mods: we have a friend who can keep a server running 24/7—does he just need to install the mods, or does everyone else need to do it too?

[hexed goblet]

Yes, all players need to be running the same mods for it to work correctly. And the server too.

Except AugaLite is not needed on the server. It’s cosmetic. And optional. Styles your hp bar and loading sceeens and teleport screens.

The default configuration is for a low map experience. If you want normal map you can change the configuration. But the low map is pretty cool imo. Many people like it.

[topaz coyote]

And for boats (I didn't see any on your list), this one is good: https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/shudnal/LongshipUpgrades/ ?

You can set the size of the map ???

[hexed goblet]

I don’t know about this mod. I did not make it.

[hexed goblet]

No. The map is different in my version of the game. You have to craft a cartography table to use it. If you want the vanilla style map you have to change the settings back to use vanilla style GPS.

It is more immersive to have to pay attention to the land. Build tables to see the map. Etc. but up to you.

[languid lynx]

The only one I know of is this one.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Ruijven/RuneVault/

[topaz coyote]

can we use the mod on mac ?

[compact heath]

hello, what part of the CLLC config do you change to start the world with all starred enemies, I'm using thunderstore mod manager

[hexed goblet]

you could increase the difficulty on vanilla too as an option. using the global keys

[compact heath]

I wanted it to be mostly 3star starting on my solo world

[hexed goblet]

have you looked into the vanilla global key options?

• EnemyLevelUpRate: The chances of mobs being starred. eg: 200 would give 20% chances of a creature being upgraded to 1 star and then 20% of those being further upgraded to 2 star (resulting in 16% and 4% chances in real terms)
• EnemySpeedSize: Modifies the size and speed of mobsEnemyLevelUpRate: The chances of mobs being starred. eg: 200 would give 20% chances of a creature being upgraded to 1 star and then 20% of those being further upgraded to 2 star (resulting in 16% and 4% chances in real terms)
• EnemyDamage: Damage done by mobs to players and other mobs (not structures)
• PlayerDamage: Damage done by players to mobs

not exactly what you are saying, but no mod required and can still make things very hard.

[floral badge]

I play on a Mac and haven’t yet seen a mod that fails to load.

[hexed goblet]

yes

[hearty dove]

Hi All - For those running the ServiceSideSim mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/863) - What are you setting your MaxObjects value at? Default is 100 but I feel things are visibly slow to pop. Are we moving to 200?500?1000?

[worldly garnet]

If you haven't already done so, you might want to read through the posts on this mod's web page.

From a quick glance, it seems to have had some issues in the past that might or might not be fixed now.

[hollow oxide]

Can someone confirm that early axes available in the modded game ? Haven't found any

[worldly garnet]

I don't think that question has ever come up before. At least, not recently.

Which mod are you thinking should provide them for you? Or did you mean vanilla axes?

[hollow oxide]

Vanilla early axes that were recently added. Do mods disable those in any way ? Like Warfare or Monstrum

[worldly garnet]

I don't think any mod disables them. Maybe you just have to get the right resources in inventory before the recipe appears for them?

[flint bough]

anyone know if any of the harder bosses mods work?

[worldly garnet]

I think all the recent ones do. But no one can guarantee that all the mods are always gonna work together. So, you best bet is to find a recent one you like and try it out on a test world. Then, check the log file (in your BepInEx folder) and make sure there's no errors.

[flint bough]

i only see two harder boss mods from years ago. could you point me in the right direction of a few

[worldly garnet]

Here you go. These are in order of most recent first.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/?q=bosses&ordering=last-updated&section=mods

[ionic trail]

It's has small chances fine, but exist

[hearty dove]

I have not. Are you talking about the github site, or am I missing an obvious other website somewhere?

Was also just wondering/curious to see what those running this mod had it set at. For instance I have this running at 1000 now, and impact on my PC is very minimal. Its using around 2.2-2.5gb RAM (Have 32gb installed) and I am at no more than 10% CPU (CPU is Ryzen 5 5700x).

[keen pond]

anyone know of an automatic furnace/smelting mod that will pull items from the drawers mod?
so far "lazyvikings" and "automaticfuel" dont work with drawe

[queen prawn]

is there a way or a mod to generate dungeons only when i am close to their entrance?

[worldly garnet]

I was referring to the nexusmods site. That's the site that you used when you linked the mod above. They have a 'Posts" tab there on the mod's web page where users post info regarding their experience with the mod.

I personally know nothing of this mod. And, for that matter, have never seen it referenced on this discord before at all. I think most of the mod traffic around here goes via the thunderstore.io site and the mod doesn't seem to be included at that site at all. No idea why.

[worldly garnet]

Dunno... Maybe this mod will do what you want.

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

[worthy iris]

Do you know of any texture packs that change certain textures in the game? For example, I'd like the thatched roofs to be a different color.
Alternatively, I wouldn't mind having a texture pack that improves the quality without significantly impacting performance.

[worldly garnet]

Have a look at this mod and see if it can do what you want.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/cebero/TorvaldsAffordablePainters/

[worthy iris]

But if I launch survival without the mod, the colored builds might disappear ?

[worldly garnet]

Dunno. You'll have to try it and see. As always with new mods, make sure you can restore your world from backups, if necessary.

[worthy iris]

Basically, I plan to play with my friend on PS5, but since mods don't work on consoles, I want him to be able to see the structures. That's why if they're added blocks, he won't see them, and that's a problem for me. I'll go try the mod and let you know.

[worthy iris]

Okay it's visible for modded client but invisible for unmodded, for unmodded they just see vanilla build. it's why i want thank's !

[tulip hare]

whats the mod that makes it so when you throw items near a chest it just gets auto picked up by the chest?

[worldly garnet]

Here you go.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Azumatt/AzuAutoStore/

[floral badge]

@hexed goblet Do you know if it’s possible to have an item of some sort, along the lines of how wards work, but all it does is restrict auto-pickup in a certain area?
I have no idea if something like triggering and enforcing that as the player enters the controlled area would be how you do it, but it would be great so that people don’t accidentally pickup food that is placed for animals etc

[hexed goblet]

it is possible to do. i did not add that feature to anything though. i have a feature that lets you toggle pickup state to off/on/inventoryOnly but it doesn't restrict a particular area, it's a player choice.

there are probably some mods that let you define items to always drop noAutoPickup.

then you could just define your items that you do not want to autopickup in the config file. like all the animal foods.

which, could also be all the crops! lol 😄

[floral badge]

May I please take this to DMs?

[hexed goblet]

sure

[floral badge]

You’ll have to message me first re server rules.

[hexed goblet]

i don't see why that would matter, it's the same for both of us. one person has to send the other a friend invite, then we can chat. anyhow, i sent you one. what's up? answer it.

[hexed goblet]

duuude.... why are you asking to talk with me and then not responding to the dm request you asked me to send you? are you a bot?

check your inbox, friend requests...

[floral badge]

Thank you. I live in NZ so different time zone for me, I was busy getting kids to bed.

[tulip hare]

thanks man

[orchid vale]

jo got anyone an idea, maybe an building Pieces mod? that looks actually good and more vanilla touched

[worldly garnet]

Have a look at this mod, if you really like to build.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Balrond/balrond_amazing_nature/

[orchid vale]

ah i see this looks intresting but it make many changes in the world?

[worldly garnet]

It adds a lot of new building pieces and changes some of the vanilla ones a bit. But that's about it. It's a building mod, after all.

But it doesn't just give you the new stuff automatically. You have to work for it, gather resources, add work stations, etc. Just like in the rest of the game.

[orchid vale]

yeah, i mean its kind of you. but i think its tooo much content overall haha. its cool but its bring much much more new things than just building pieces. overall i like it but i wont use it and i thank you for the idea (:

[orchid vale]

thats true, its a cool feature of the mod

[torn maple]

how difficult would it be to write a mod for the game that only edits hugin and munin dialogue and flavor text?

[languid lynx]

Not difficult but you will need to see up the dev environment but that's a one time thing.
If you're interested in learning and want to make other stuff it might be worth it, or you can ask someone.

[alpine marlin]

the mod I was using for my armor and quickslots is gone. does anyone know a good one I can use?

[worldly garnet]

Here you go:
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Azumatt/AzuExtendedPlayerInventory/

[sick vector]

anyone know of a mod that would let me plant berry bushes and other things u usually cant

[snow coral]

PlantEverything

[worldly garnet]

You mean like this?

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Advize/PlantEverything/

[sick vector]

ah ty thats exactly what i needed

[limber nebula]

Hello, can you suggest some mods to play vanilla with some qol?

[hexed goblet]

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

This is my collection of mods, they focus on immersion and staying close to vanilla rules and QoL. (Apply all updates)

[snow coral]

PlantEverything, TorchesEternal, and a few others I can’t think of off the top of my head

[spice marsh]

Is there a mod for changing my character's name?

[languid lynx]

For that you need a save editor.

[spice marsh]

AzuExtendedInventory
PlantEverything
TargetPortal
Venture_Logout_Tweaks
BetterArchery

For Mistlands also good to have BuyDvergrExtractorNeedle and DvergrDiplomacy

[spice marsh]

I just installed BepInEx manually and the console window doesn't appear on launch

What did I do wrong

[candid ravine]

If you installed the most recent version from github, rather than the one that is advertised on several mod-manager websites, the output-console on startup is disabled.
You can switch it on if you want by setting the flag from "false" to "true"

You also won't see the message about how many mods are loaded in the main screen, that needs a separate mod now

To change the name . . You'd need a hex-editor, I reckon. Would help too if you can read binaries to find the part with the name

[candid ravine]

Clock - you don't want to nekkid into dangerzones after 18:00 😉
aedenthorn.ClockMod
Plant to precise grid (like 5 X 5 seeds), farm/gather multiple things with shift-E
xeio.MassFarming

[languid lynx]

Make sure you get this one
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/denikson/BepInExPack_Valheim/

[spice marsh]

Yep that's what I got

Enabled by default

Still won't work

[languid lynx]

Did you drag the content of the folder into the root of your Valheim install?

[spice marsh]

Yes

Into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim

[worldly garnet]

Add -console to the end of your Steam launch arguments.

[spice marsh]

Not sure what you mean exactly

[worldly garnet]

Go to your Steam Library and right clickon Valheim game. Then select Properties and find the launch options in the General window. Go to the end of the launch options you have in there, if any, and add -console to the end of them. Space before the -

[spice marsh]

Yeah that's there already

[candid ravine]

It's not the F5 console for devcommands we're after but 5he bepinex output on startup, ssammy

We got this narrowed down to a mistake where the zipped download contains a folder that was unpacked into the valheim directory, rather than only the content of that folder.
All under control

[worldly garnet]

Check your BepInEx > config folder and edit the BepInEx.cfg file in there. Make sure Logging and Logging.console are both "true".

[spice marsh]

I got it to work

At long last

[deep hawk]

If I killed off my offline Companion how to I revive him?

[worldly garnet]

What do you mean by "killed off my offlilne companion" that does not make sense. Are you talking about another player on a server with you? Or one of the NPC mod's characters? If so, which mod?

[deep hawk]

I have Offline Companion "the mod" and I killed him by accident and I want him respawn, how do I do that

[worldly garnet]

Oh, thank God! I was afraid you had accidentally ran over your gaming buddy in the drive way with your SUV or something. That's a relief.

Go ahead and read about how to re-spawn the NPC on the mod's web page. I'll wait here until you get back.

[worldly garnet]

Well, I beat you to it, I guess. The mod's web page says:

"When a companion dies, they leave behind a tombstone. They'll respawn after a short time at their bed (or the world spawn) and automatically walk to their tombstone to recover their items."

You're welcome.

[deep hawk]

I did not have a bed for them and I took the tombstone

[worldly garnet]

Did you read the "at the world spawn" bit? And also, "after a short time"?

Doesn't say how long it take to respawn them. How long would the average funeral last in Valheim do you think?

[deep hawk]

I have no idea

[worldly garnet]

If it were me, I'd go outside for a walk and get some fresh air and sunshine. Maybe play with the dog a bit in the back yard.

When you get back and get back into the game, he'll probably be waiting for you.

[deep hawk]

??

[worldly garnet]

Go see if he's waiting for you at the starting boss stones.

[worldly garnet]

Although, if it was me you killed I don't know how anxious I'd be to get back to you either.

[deep hawk]

ok ty for help...

[worldly garnet]

You know, companions can be purchased from Haldor's shop for 2,000 coins if the optional Trader Overhaul mod is installed.

And you can spawn them back in with console commands, too. He doesn't give the actual command but it's probably just "spawn [prefab name]".

You'll have to figure out the prefab name using something like the "/listprefabs" command repeatedly until you narrow it down.

That particular command is from the Gungnir mod so you'd need to load that, too. And I think the WorldEdit Commands mod would let you find the prefab name of the companion, too. Not sure of that. Just going by memory.

[ionic trail]

VNEI can check prefabs

EasySpawner list all spawnable prefabs

[worldly garnet]

Good to know. Thanks.

[frail fable]

OpenSaysme By Tiwot the Shift+E command dosent work to change the door settings. it should be able to be set so it auto opens/closes

does anyone have this mod? or is it just a bit broken atm?

[worn girder]

So i am running a server and i have the mod Creature Level & Loot Control in the Bepinex folder which means i cant change the +10% creature scale per star level to 0 ingame. Is there any way around that like can i change that in the files somehow?

[spice marsh]

Wow my game takes a long time to launch now with Willybach's and co

So worth it though

[worldly garnet]

When the server is controlling the game configuration for all players, I don't think you can change the settings without changing them on the server and restarting the server.

[languid lynx]

Aren't you an admin?

[worldly garnet]

Your talking about a dedicated server, right? Are you hosting the server locally on your home LAN or renting it from a hosting Co.?

[worn girder]

I am renting it from a host.

[worldly garnet]

You can change Creature Level and Loot Control mod settings without a full restart by updating the .yml configuration file via FTP.

But I'm not sure that the server will apply the new settings without a server restart. It might. So it's worth trying.

[worn girder]

thanks, i´ll try that.

[iron acorn]

Are there mods that let you make different types of swords, i.e. long swords and short swords?

[worldly garnet]

There are several. Go here and find a current one that you want.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/?q=swords&ordering=last-updated&section=mods

[tawny isle]

Are there mods available for console? I figure it’s a no but also that I’d ask.

[languid lynx]

Nope.

[timid shoal]

If you can boot up a Valheim-server, you can use the mod ServerSideQoL, that Xbox users also will enjoy the modded content from this mod.

[worldly garnet]

This link might be helpful: https://github.com/Valheim-Modding/Wiki/wiki/Xbox-Compatible-Mods

These are server side only mods that work for Xbox users,.

[tawny isle]

I’m not home so I can’t check but how do you add a mod like that if you’re on Xbox?

[devout ravine]

is r2modman safe im lowkey paranoid im using mods from nexus rn but lots of them arent updated and people are saying theyre updated on r2modman

[worldly garnet]

Yes, r2modman is safe and popular. You're better off finding your mods on the thunderstore.io site where r2modman is. The site and mod manager are made for each other. However, r2modman will let you import external mods that you've copied from nexus.

[devout ravine]

alright, thanks

[tawny isle]

What’s to know about servers and “community servers”?

For mods I mean

What about adding mods on a server for console?

Can that be done from a server in the Valheim menu?

[hexed goblet]

Gale is another good mod manager option for Thunderstore.

[topaz coyote]

Hi how do you install mods on mac ?

[sleek otter]

#mods-discussion message
or
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Omnivore/OmnivoreModManager/

[topaz coyote]

What is the best method ?

[languid lynx]

The only mod you can use that allows console players to join are mods that only needs to be on the server.
If there's any mod that needs to be on the client it will not work.

[oak halo]

You need a dedicated server (self-hosted or rented) which hosts your world and has the mod installed. Clients joining that world don't need the mod, so you can just join normally on your xbox

[sleek otter]

I have no idea. I dont use mac.
Warps is extensively vibecoded, and i'm otherwise ignorant of his programming skills as far as his ability to correct any potential AI slop in the code.
Omnivore looks like it was written by a professional or student programmer, ie: fairly clean, and seems functionally quite simple.
Try them and find out.

[topaz coyote]

We have a server hosted by a friend. Is it possible to set it up so that everything is installed on the server, meaning we players don’t need to install anything ourselves, and so that it works across all PC platforms (Windows, Linux and Mac)?

[languid lynx]

Not possible.

[hidden haven]

whats the best modpack on the market atm for new weapons/armour qol etc? I like epic loot and that othermod that introduces loads of new names ruins too. TIA

[snow coral]

Therzie has some decent mods for new weapons and armor. Check out Warfare & Armory, at the very least. Wizardry too

[supple viper]

does anyone know if there is a mod that shows approx meters out from center on mouse hover? sort of like coordinates. new player and I just learned certain biomes only spawn at specific distances from center

[hidden haven]

Thanks ive seen thise about, was hoping for a one click mod pack !

[snow coral]

Gotcha

[uncut lark]

Did someone ping me?

[uncut lark]

Lol

[gaunt geyser]

I'd love to see your programming skills. You talk a pretty big game.

[oak halo]

Only possible with server-only mods (very limited selection)
https://github.com/Valheim-Modding/Wiki/wiki/Xbox-Compatible-Mods#server-side-mods

[timid shoal]

Xbox can't load mods, but Xbox users can join a Valheim dedicated server with this mod, and can enjoy modded content.

[languid lynx]

Console players cannot enjoy modded content, only vanilla 😛

[timid shoal]

They can ideed, joining a server running ServerSideQoL

[languid lynx]

But that's not modded content though.
It's a mod that's on the server and let's you adjust vanilla related stuff.

Unless... modded content = anything that ISN'T purely vanilla including settings and all that.

[timid shoal]

True. But many will think, extra container space, deconstruct boat and cart, transform the Crypt key to a permanent power (so you don't have to have the key in inventory), etc, would be "modded" content

[languid lynx]

Yeah, if you view it that way I guess its modded content

[timid shoal]

Xbox can't enjoy custom created art and code, but the pure insane number of changes that can be done in ServerSideQol, will make the game so much better for many xbox players.

[ionic trail]

Can use serverside features of Expand World Data

Like vegs\locations distribution

[slender pulsar]

With mods that increase item stack limit, I assume extra items are deleted if these mods get removed, right?

A stack of (Stone 250/250) would become (Stone 50/50) I assume?

Edit: launching vanilla reduces the stacks to their limits. Now I'll test modifying stack size settings in the mod

[worldly garnet]

Which mod are you using to increase the stacks size?

So did you already verify that going back to vanilla causes the loss of the items that were in a stack and over that stack's vanilla size?

[slender pulsar]

zzzGenesisStackSizes

For the second question: correct.

[worldly garnet]

Thanks for sharing the info. 🍻

[quaint creek]

Guys, is there a mod that allows you to build without using workbenches, forges, etc? I know about the debug mod, but we're playing on a server with friends and we're tired of it. We don't want to use the console

[snow coral]

EpicLoot has an enchantment that you can put on hammers called Freebuild. No workbenches required

[quaint creek]

But at the same time you don't waste resources, right?

[snow coral]

What do you mean by waste resources?

[quaint creek]

Sorry for my bad English. I meant it's the same as enabling debug mode.

We just want to play normal survival, but without the stupid workbench zones

[snow coral]

No, you still have to have the materials in your inventory to build, but you don’t need the workbench, forge, or stonecutter within range

[past sedge]

@quaint creek You need to write in english

[quaint creek]

I know my bad just copy wrong sentence from translator xd

[past sedge]

good good 🙂

[devout ravine]

is there any mod where i can play as thor or something like that

like have mjolnir be able to throw it around with lightning pull it back and fly around

[fast flint]

What is the best armor/accessory slots mod?

[worldly garnet]

I like this one:
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Azumatt/AzuExtendedPlayerInventory/

[snow coral]

ssammy beat me to it

[worldly garnet]

...which is not an easy thing to do! 😛

[fast flint]

thank you, I can tell it's good bcoz Azu made it

[coarse jay]

Does any one know how to get rid of the Confetti and clutter that pops up when hitting and killin an enemy from the Captain Skill Tree Mod

[worldly garnet]

That mod's author has a link to his discord on the mod's web page. You could probably ask about it there.

[oak halo]

You can set the NoWorkbench global key, no mods required.

[languid lynx]

@torn maple Was there anything specific you wanted when you asked that question?

You said you wanted to be able to customize Hugin and Munis flavor text dialogue?

[torn maple]

i wanted to retell the game where you're banished to valheim by odin for being too much like his son loki

"go outside you nitwit butthead"

[languid lynx]

I have a mod where you press buttons and they show dialogue.
I could update it to support anything like items, creatures, yadda yadda.

Unless you wanted to learn how to do it yourself.

The idea behind that specific mod was from when you press buttons at Museums and Zoos and it explains stuff 😄

You place button at an exhibition or something, maybe even a door.

[torn maple]

you know if i had help that'd be pretty great

just let me get more valheiming done i barely progressed

[marble prawn]

has anyone heard of or is in a valheim server with the valheimraft mod? i have looked on battlemetrics and there are none to be found

[floral badge]

We used it on our last run through, what do you want to know?

[marble prawn]

i was just trying to find a public valheim server with the mod and i couldn't find one after looking on batlemetrics

[iron acorn]

What are everyone's thoughts on dual swords vs dual knives?

[worldly garnet]

Interesting. Also, which mod is best for adding dual wielding?

[iron acorn]

Dual wielding mod by rusty I think

I think there are two main mods for dual wielding

[worldly garnet]

I have noticed that dual wielding axes in early game is impressive.

[iron acorn]

That's a new vanilla thing. No mod needed, just need to find the mats to make them

[iron acorn]

Whoever makes the Hunter's Legacy mod that gives you the hunter table, color options on the capes would be dope.

[keen pond]

those familiar with blackstars magic mods, do you prefer wands or staffs?

[daring wraith]

Hello does anyone know how to use blueprints downloaded from valhemian using the planbuild mod?

[halcyon talon]

hello i wanna play without weight limit, is there any mods for no weight limit? if so how is it called please

[near jetty]

Anyone renting a modded server? If so, can you choose what mods to use?

[languid lynx]

Yes.

[near jetty]

Any suggestion on where to rent?

[languid lynx]

G-PORTAL

[snow coral]

I prefer Bisect Hosting

[sharp holly]

is there a way i can get the 3d model of a valheim person so i can attempt to make custom clothes to match them for mod?

[languid lynx]

Yep

If you allow DMs I can DM you.

[sharp holly]

they are on sure

[languid lynx]

I'm in bed now 😂

[warped rain]

Wolvesry — 12:42 AM
For CookieMilk's magical mounts, do the ravens and dragons spawn naturally? how does one tame them?

[languid lynx]

Ravens and Dragons are summons only right now.

[foggy lion]

is anyone familiar with the "Let Me Tame You" mod? I can't get Trading Taming to work at all

[flint kindle]

Anyone know of a mod that have a filter for crafting tables?

[ionic trail]

MylittleUI

[nocturne anchor]

what mods do yall run to improve performance on a server?

we are only post elder and already we drop to 20-30 fps in our town

[flint kindle]

jeeez , theres so much more buildings coming ur way

[sleek otter]

I tried it in allTameable for the first time a few weeks ago, and it didnt work there either. ....but looking at it agian now i see that my explicity-define-everything-for-legibility syntax is probably at fault though. iirc there were reports of variables that didnt accept being broken into explicitly defined components the way I do here...and my syntax is almost certainly wrong here too
Eikthyr,commandable=trade,consumeItems=TrophyTheElder=1
I just altered my config and will test in AT next time i get a chance:
Eikthyr,trade,TrophyTheElder=1

[flint kindle]

I just added it to my game , does my friend need to add it on her own or since she play on my game , it will be auto?

[vernal barn]

Hey sorry this may be dumb but I installed the Valeheilm mounts mod and

I just started playing and i keep getting spawn killed by a horse. Like i can't even finish the tutorial without it killing me. What am I supposed to do??

[sharp holly]

this has got to be the funniest mod bug ever 😄 😄

[vernal barn]

This is actually insane oh my god dude it detects me the second I load in and goes straight for me. I found a tiny shack im sitting in but idek what im doing

[sharp holly]

you should play with no mods the first time anyway!

[vernal barn]

But horses

[sharp holly]

but you cant even play

[vernal barn]

Yea im gonna have to lolll

[sharp holly]

in this game the existing animals you can tame start as wild and can get scared/aggro on you, maybe horses is like that

[languid lynx]

Is this my mod? MagicalMounts, WildHorses or OdinHorse?

[vernal barn]

Magical Mounts

[languid lynx]

I recommend uninstalling it for now and wait for the next update.
It will fix everything so they're no longer man hunters but friendly neutral creatures.

Gonna try and push it soon as it's basically ready now.

OR you can change their faction to AnimalVeg/Player

That will make them non-hostile.

[vernal barn]

Okay thank you. That's actually hilarious I got soft-locked because of it and had to make a new world

As of now, I just avoid every horse i see

[lapis hinge]

Anyone know a keep inventory mod

[sleek otter]

lolwut
let me simplify what i said: "i'm not qualified to comment on his ability to make sure his vibecode is actually good". I imagine he has a pretty good idea what he is doing; considering what I saw of his project when we spoke about something related a week or two ago.
Don't be offended because i suggested one of your mods looked vibecoded, i was just broad spectrum hating on all the bulletpoint icons i'd been seeing in all of the recent vibed TS spam-copying of existing mods.
My lolPrOgRaMmInG SkIllS are just a long history of learning enough to do what i wanted and then forgetting almost all of it. BASIC in school, LISP for CAD work, quakeC becasue we could. I was competent with babbys first C# as seen in LindenScriptingLanguage for a year or two...all meaningless now. Currently it's just geriatric hacking together of desktop tools in bash for the lols. Like using imagemagick in my dedicated's scripts to parse CLLC/noMapPrinter configs to render a polar map overlay to display where the creature star-levels increase. Works nice. Cheap thrills.
I'm not a programmer, but I know what organised looks like. Omnivore looked pretty clean when i glanced at it because bash. Far cleaner than anything i write.

[hexed goblet]

huh? like don't drop inventory when you die? That's a vanilla setting. but if you want more fine grained control you can use ZenPlayer

[lapis hinge]

u got a link for that

[hexed goblet]

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

[untold yarrow]

Can anyone recommend a mod that can do some automation for cooking, smelting and/or farming? Something that uses NPCs is also fine.

[iron acorn]

Does anyone know if the Dual Wielding mod takes the parry value of both weapons into account?

[vernal barn]

does anyone know if there is a tutorial on how to tame horses for magical mounts?

[languid lynx]

The same way you tame vanilla creatures.

[lapis hinge]

how does this work exactly

[hexed goblet]

I don’t understand your question

[lapis hinge]

i mean right now im using a modpack and notsure if this is going to conflict with it because it does many things

[hexed goblet]

Ok, then what do you want me to do about that? You asked for a mod that controls inventory drop when you die. It does that very well.

[lapis hinge]

i actaully already do have one of ur mods in this modpack

its augalite

[hexed goblet]

That’s not really one of mine. That’s just a rehack of Auga to make some of the fonts and loading screens work.

Mine begin with Zen

But yes, I maintain AugaLite

[lapis hinge]

im gonna give it a try see if it conflicts i actaullly have issues with the command prompt a few red lines that i dont know how to fix

[hexed goblet]

Right, so it sounds like your modpack is broken

[lapis hinge]

i think so u have any idea how to fix that

only 2 mods cant be loaded shield me and adventure backpacks

those are the only 2 red lines in the cmd

[hexed goblet]

I make a polished modpack that is entirely compatible with itself and sticks close to vanilla rules.

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

you are welcome to try that if you want.

[lapis hinge]

does it work in multiplayer

[hexed goblet]

Yes.

It’s designed for multiplayer

[lapis hinge]

ill give it a try how can i use the zenplayer mod?

i installed it

[hexed goblet]

What do you want it to do ? Read the configs

[lapis hinge]

i mean do i do that from the console command or is it a menu

@hexed goblet

[hexed goblet]

You edit configs via the config file. But it’s easier if you use a config editor. I use this one.

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/shudnal/ConfigurationManager/

[lapis hinge]

yea i have that one

[hexed goblet]

Then Press F1

[lapis hinge]

cant find zenplayer in there tho

[hexed goblet]

Did you install it with a mod manager ?

[lapis hinge]

yea using vortex

[hexed goblet]

FAIL

[lapis hinge]

should i add it in the game directory right away

[hexed goblet]

no. Vortex is broken. Use Gale or r2modman. Thunderstore works. Nexus is broken.

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Kesomannen/GaleModManager/

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/ebkr/r2modman/

All the mods are on thunderstore

[lapis hinge]

i got plenty of mods on vortex imma have to start moving them there

[hexed goblet]

Valheim mods are on thunderstore

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

This is the best place to get Valheim mods

It doesn’t trash your installation folder.

[lapis hinge]

alright ill try it

[hexed goblet]

You may need to wipe your Valheim install directory and reinstall Valheim if you used vortex. It might have messed up your game folder.

If you use Gale or r2modman they do not touch your install folder. So you can still run vanilla without issues.

[viscid glacier]

hey, does anyone know how to unlock recipe for shadoleaf vanguard hat (magic plugin mod or warfare im not sure)? i have recipe for trousers and tunic but i cant get the recipe for the hat

Hey everyone, can i please pick the brain of someone who has modded a server? I have the RtDMMO pack, I just want to make sure i'm uploading the correct files i need to my server.

On the server in the BepinEx folder. Do i add all the mods(infolders) and the .dlls to the plugins folder?

[worn girder]

you just take the whole folder of the RtDMMO mod pack where the .ddls are included and drag it into the plugins folder.

[native olive]

Any must have mods for multiplayer?

We are renting on 4net or something like that

[snow coral]

ValheimCuisine

[spring holly]

Excellent, thank you! 😄

[vernal barn]

thank you

[sly thorn]

i would love to start with mods but i do not know where to get good or safe mods

[kind pumice]

@snow coral are you affiliated with this? https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/tarbaby/RainDance/

[snow coral]

I am not, just a coincidental naming situation

[languid lynx]

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/
Don't worry about safety, all mods uploaded are safe.

[hexed goblet]

all of mine. go to thunderstore, search for my name.

[native olive]

I was just looking for mod named all of mine for 5 minutes lol

[hexed goblet]

wow, amazing.

🤷‍♂️

https://gprivate.com/6kkom

[native olive]

First time playing valheim. No need to act like a dick

[hexed goblet]

ok, well, first time using google or discord?

here i am trying to be helpful and i didn't expect someone to literally search for "All of mine" ... like ... come on? how can i anticipate that?

[native olive]

No, I just said I thought „all of mine” was mod name, so I tried to look it up, that’s all.

[hexed goblet]

PEBKAC

[slender pulsar]

@hexed goblet , I had a look on Thunderstore for your MODS, Looks interesting, might just download some and test it out.

[hexed goblet]

enjoy 🙂

[slender pulsar]

@hexed goblet are these mods Linux based?
Reason why I ask is I found that some MODS dont work on Linux but work on Windows...

[hexed goblet]

they work on both

[sudden reef]

nearly all mods work on Linux, ones that work only on Windows are exceptions

[mighty reef]

Has anyone played RtDMMO on steamdesk/Proton? We're running a server and one of our steamdeck users is getting purple textures and we can't figure out what could cause it.

[languid lynx]

Means the author didn't properly add support for Linux when building their AssetBundle.

[mighty reef]

Is it easy to pin point what it could be? Seems to be particles maybe, but man im digging to see what mod to trun off to test

[languid lynx]

Well you said RtDMMO?
Any of the RtD mods?

[marsh vale]

since valheim works on windows linux and mac it means assets need to be built to work on directx, vulkan, and metal or you get the purple textures on one of the clients

[mighty reef]

Yah ok i'll keep digging.

[mighty reef]

Yeah then that just means we can't use that mod I think it might be NorseDemigods

[native olive]

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/ZenDragon/ZenConstruction/ if I install this, and play on someones server, is it gonna work? Other 2 had this info, this one doesnt.

[hexed goblet]

yes, you can run that entirely client side

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

this too

[native olive]

Thanks

[native olive]

Modded game always have to go trough Thunderstome app?

[nova orbit]

no. there are other mod managers like r2modman and gale.
If you mean running without a mod manager, yes it's doable but can become a headache if you change or update mods frequently.

[native olive]

Is it possible to make shortcut for modded version so I don’t have to start my game with opening manager?

[hexed goblet]

yes, but you'll have to google it because it's a lot of command line stuff.

it's far easier to just open Gale or r2modman and run the game from there... but yes, you can make a shortcut and embed the command line switches into it to launch the game that way.

google AI can help you

[austere pine]

Hi, is the VBNetTweaks mod by @steep narwhal a server side only mod? Or does the client needs to have them installed?

[steep narwhal]

Hi. The mod is needed on both the client and the server. Use version 0,2,0 - it is currently the most stable. I will release an update with bug fixes in a few days.

[austere pine]

Thank you

[nova orbit]

Yes. You can make multiple copies of the game folder, install a different modpack in each one and create shortcuts on the desktop. But this way steam cannot update the game directly, if a patch comes out you'd need to copy by hand. Same for mods. Or you can use the mod manager just to manage the mods then sync them with the game's folder.

[restive zodiac]

hey guys, wer ucoming back into the game and wanting a modpack that is fairly performant and adds som,e qol but also some depth. we were looking at relicheim/jewelheim. are either of those recommended or are there others recommended? which ones would u guys recommend?

[noble pumice]

Hey, I wanted to fish on boats but the OdinShip Plus Mod seems to be pulled off shelfs. Something about the creator trying to charge and being an issue???

• is there any other way to get that mod or another one for fishing on boats?

[native olive]

I don’t need copies, I just want single button to run game with mods.

[keen pond]

probably a dumb question, if i uninstall a mod - dont launch the game - then reinstall the mod - launch the game will that cause issues with my current world?

[languid lynx]

No.

[keen pond]

alright

im having a weird issue with azuautostorage and kgvalheim's drawer mod rn

[languid lynx]

What's the issue?

[keen pond]

when using the autostore button items just get deleted from the world and dont end up in the drawers

first time its happening after 470+ days in

they go in chests just fine at the max distance i have it set

i have a few videos hang on

bruh its so ass i cant send videos or screenshots when it would be useful lol

[languid lynx]

What about the log, any errors?

[keen pond]

check #mods-issues

im gonna do the test again and watch the logs but i skimmed through and nothing blaring at me when it happens

[trim junco]

anyone know a good mod for 0 stability, but also wont make silver and huge rocks have 0 stability just normal. If you know what im saying? just pure building

[sleek otter]

senpai, you must always consult the thunderstore
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/?q=structural&ordering=last-updated&section=mods
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/?q=integrity&ordering=last-updated&section=mods

also: infinityHammer can do this, but is probably overkill

[hexed goblet]

Google: valheim mod FEATURE thunderstore

[snow coral]

Is there a mod that converts sulfur into proustite? Thanks to VCuisine I have a constant need of the latter.

[lapis hinge]

@hexed goblet hello im having trouble when i level up it dosent notify me is it something known that happenes with mods?

[hexed goblet]

The notifications are disabled by default. You can turn them on in ZenPlayer

[lapis hinge]

thank u!

[lapis hinge]

i got another issue im getting damaged out of nowwhere and it stops at 1 health

also happens when i parry\

[hexed goblet]

Winter?

[lapis hinge]

no i was in the black forest

[lapis hinge]

nvm i just noticed the mace im using has bloodletting

[snow coral]

That'll do it! Mystery solved!

[lapis hinge]

Epic loot is sometimes confusing i just thought from the name that it would damage me whenever i use it lol

[spice marsh]

Lol I just realised when I use TargetPortal it doesn't auto update the portals on the map so I have to refresh it every time but pressing p twice, and if I destroy a portal and don't do it I can basically go to a non-existent portal...

[flint kindle]

Anyone have a mod for construction?

[snow coral]

There are many. What are you looking to do?

[languid lynx]

I have a few :D

[spice marsh]

Is this patchable?

Because sometimes I accidentally portal to a "ghost" portal and then I have to use debugmode to portal to where I meant to

I guess I'll just try to remember to double tap P every time I break and create a portal...

[flint kindle]

Trying to make building more than 1 freakin stage

[untold phoenix]

Anyone know if theres a mod that has a pre-made chestwall included in it?

[snow coral]

Chest wall?

[untold phoenix]

like storage, you know when people make walls of chests

making them is quite annoying and i was hoping someone has pre-made a 10x4 chestwall or something for storage

[snow coral]

MissingPieces has stackable drawers with 24 item slots, and the front of the drawer functions as a sign

[untold yarrow]

If someone can clarify for me, locations are prefabs that have their position determined by the world seed value?

[languid lynx]

No, they are placed when the world is generating.

[untold yarrow]

I mean, wouldn't the boss altars be in the same location if you created another world with the same seed?

[ionic trail]

Ye, each seed different map, different altitude, biome distribution

[worldly garnet]

You can do this with the Infinity Hammer mode. But it's not simple and easy.

Basically, you create a model of the chests with or without signs outdoors in the open and not connected to anything.

Then, you can use the mod to copy them to a .blueprint file and later load that .blueprint file in and place it anywhere inside a building. With it saved in the .blueprint file you get to use it from then on as many times as you want.

[languid lynx]

Well, you have the seed but the structures are placed when you first generate the world.

[untold yarrow]

I used some console commands to try and move the boss altars around then used the appropriate runestone to mark them on the map. They still mark the locations i already moved... unless I only moved the objects and not the location.

In some servers I've been to, the admins were able to remove some, or all of a boss altar to restrict progression, so I'm guessing some mods must be involved.

[languid lynx]

Once the marker/pin has been generated it wont move.

[worldly garnet]

I believe you can use the Upgrade World mod commands to move locations in the world, if that helps. But, of course, you can't use mods on an Xbox.

[ionic trail]

Can register location in other place

location_register command

After create world, can remove old registered location with location_remove locname and register new, teleport to right place and type location_register locname

[untold yarrow]

That's good to know. I've only used the mod to reset or un-generate parts of the map for my friends (or after experimenting with some commands).

Then... there's is a lookup table for all set locations on a map?

[ionic trail]

https://valheim-modding.github.io/Jotunn/data/zones/location-list.html

[untold yarrow]

Thanks for all the helpful info. I think I can stop my friend from complaining about where the Eikthyr altars appeared once I register better locations, though one would suffice as well.
Third step after the second step of using that mod with confidence, is deciding where to place it at.

Last inquiry. Is the genloc command, basically the dev's method of reseting all locations to their vanilla positions, similar to the process of map generation for a new world?
I remember using it once to force finding Haldor elsewhere on the map.

[ionic trail]

genloc for unexplored areas

UW zones_reset for all zones

genloc not find locs, its generate new locs, like if you added mods with locations after create world

[snow bone]

Any chance of ever seeing mods coming to console?

[flint kindle]

Do i need all of those to be able to build higher than 1 level?

[vernal barn]

is there a specific food?

[sleek otter]

They are just the tools i find essential for building, and some buildpiece mods.
If you cant build high its becasue you arent connecting to the ground properly amd dont understand how to use long members like corewood/stone/iron to transfer the blue highlights (strongest) upward efficiently.

[marsh vale]

no

[languid lynx]

Yes, Cosmic Treat.

[daring basin]

I currently only have the gates mod that has drawbridges and such, any mod I should really try out? Preferably thunderstore to make it easier to download

[worldly garnet]

What kind of things would you like to change in the game? Things you don't like? Things you do like?

[daring basin]

I hate meal prepping, farming, resource gathering is okay, I like exploring and fighting

I haven’t found a way to auto open doors that would he nice, like a Minecraft pressure plate

Some form of auto or close to auto farm

Would be nice to have workshop take items from chests

Some portal mod maybe but theres several and idk which one does what and reddit posts abt it provide more questions than answers

[worldly garnet]

Well, you can try this mod for starters. It's a little old but I think it still works. If not then just remove it. And there's a couple others on thunderstore.io you can find with a search for 'auto door' there.

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/?q=PRESSURE+plate&ordering=last-updated&section=mods

[worldly garnet]

And I think you'll like this mod, too.

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

And others in here will have more suggestions for you, I'm sure. 😄

[worldly garnet]

For exploring and fighting, do a search at thunderstore.io for 'biomes'. There's some amazing mod selections on there to consider for adding new stuff for more exploring and fighting in the game.

[daring basin]

Ill do that once I finish the game I have only gotten as far as to kill bonemass, though I’ve been to mountains and plains as well

[oak halo]

Yes, official mod support is still on the table, including mod support on consoles.
Although I personally think the chance is low that it will happen.
In the meantime, check out https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/ArgusMagnus/ServersideQoL/

[marsh vale]

consoles dont like giving randos the ability to run arbitrary code so the number of games that have official mod support on consoles is extremely limited and the mods for them are tightly controlled

if valheim were to get official mod support and it included consoles. it would be a completely new system and all current mods would not be compatible. many current mods probably wouldnt be able to function under the new system because it would be locked down.

[snow scroll]

Hello fellow vikings
I was starting another playthrough but I wanted to rebalance some things,I found almost everything I was looking for but the only thing I'm missing is somethign to simply increase wall hp. I want to play with the self-imposed rule of never using terrain wall (they're as ugly as much as they're OP), but especially if I bump the enemy damage up they go down in 1-2 attacks from mobs.
Can you guys suggest a good mod for this that doesn't also completely change the game?

[worldly garnet]

Just to be clear, you want to change the health of a particular build piece in the game and nothing else?

While you're waiting for a better answer, two things come to mind. You can manipulate the health of individual build pieces as you build them using the Infinity Hammer mod. However, that mod is extremely powerful and it's just sort of a 'by the way' little piece of it's potential ability that you would use. Changing the health of building pieces while you build with them isn't it's primary purpose. Just an extra little gift from the mod.

And then there's Wacky's database mod. That I believe would let you adjust the health of individual build pieces. You would go into the mod, adjust that one thing and you're done. It'll be that way for the rest of the game. But, it's not the easiest thing to do. You'd have to get into it's options and edit a file or two. And the learning curve there for normal folks is kinda steep, although doable..

But, hopefully someone else in here will have a better option for you eventually.

[snow scroll]

The db mod sounds good! I don't mind sifting through some (I assume) JSON files

Yeah I was looking for something that you set once at the beginning and then all the walls you build have x% more health.

also, any idea why f1 wouldn't work to open the bepinex config manager UI?

[worldly garnet]

Dunno. It's always worked for me. You using Azumatt's Official BepInEx Configuration Manager? If not, you prolly should.

[snow scroll]

Yes I am

[worldly garnet]

Then, either another mod took over conrol of the F1 key or you need to reinstall the mod. Most likely another mod causing trouble.

[worldly garnet]

Check your game log and see if there's any error msgs. in there that would pin it down.

[snow scroll]

ah. I had ghelper's FN lock on.

thanks for the help!

Time to write some python to change the database values, lol

[snow scroll]

Ok, the wacky database mod is amazing. I almost forgot I also wanted to buff shield blocking a bit, especially to keep up with the increased damage, and it looks like it's going to be possible!

[ionic trail]

@snow scroll Also can use EW Prefabs, for manage ZDO data with scripts. But it's complicated method😁

[floral badge]

It would be great to be able to protect my server with something like player x leaves server and items are held as <details> and then when player x rejoins and the items are different, prevented from joining.
However, I concede that knowing what the diff was and therefore communicating that to player x would be tricky. I imagine it would be in the server logs but would need to be surfaced.
However, it would encourage people not to log out and go to another world to spawn a bunch of items and bring back in again.
Unless there is a way to ensure the items are unique to your world and can therefore only exist in that world. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[worldly garnet]

There is a mod that tracks players items and checks them when the player joins. I don't remember the name of it but you should be able to find it on thunderstore.io. Let us know if you don't and we'll try to find it for you.

This one does that but it's in beta. Check it out and see what you think.

[ionic trail]

Or server characters mod

[floral badge]

Seems there is one called “YouAreBeingLogged" by CookieMilk according to a few web searches https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/CookieMilk/YouAreBeingLogged/v/1.0.1/

[worldly garnet]

That's the one I was thinking of. Thanks.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Smoothbrain/ServerCharacters/

[floral badge]

Oh that looks way easier to use

[languid lynx]

This mod is a MUST in combination with something like if you run a public server.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/MidnightMods/ValheimEnforcer/

[floral badge]

Well, we have a local server non-hosted for family and friends but there’s a bit of friction and I’m trying to clear it all up by using something like this or maybe serverCharacters might be enough. Just so we can all know it must have been gained in game and move on.
However I don’t think this works with existing characters so that’s gonna be a whole chat.

[languid lynx]

ServerCharacter require you to make a new character but you can upload your existing one.
Even if they make a new character, it will not give you any useful data on actual cheating, that's what mine is for.

[floral badge]

Oh I see, you are the creator of valheimEnforcer! Good to meet you. Thanks I’ll have to read about all the config etc needed.

[languid lynx]

Nah, mine is https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/CookieMilk/YouAreBeingLogged/

[hexed goblet]

why not just use serverchars ?

[spice marsh]

Anyone here playing with Willybach's and Badger's HD mods?

[worldly garnet]

Is the Enter/Exit portal for Troll Caves and Burial Crypts a vanilla game piece itself that could be used to port to/from your own locations?

[languid lynx]

It's part of the Cave/Crypt and moves you up to the location.

[worldly garnet]

Yes, exactly. My question is can you use an existing mod to separate the Enter/Exit piece (the white square thing) from the rest of the cave/crypt and access and use it for a different sky platform, for example?

Or does the white square actually already just exist in the game as a vanilla prefab piece that can be used or accessed by itself for travel to/from a custom built location?

[ionic trail]

Yes, you can. With Infinity hammer

But it's not just prefab

[worldly garnet]

Awesome. So, how do I put it on the hammer? F5 command = hammer xxxxxx ?

Or, how do I get the white slab on the hammer by itself?

[worldly garnet]

Well, I figured out that I can do what I want using Cookie's PortalPlane mod.

I was just hoping to be able to do it in an only vanilla environment with no mods but I guess that's not gonna happen.

[languid lynx]

Because my mod offers invisible portals?
I can also add this door concept where you enter it and it takes you to up in the air to build.

[worldly garnet]

Thanks, Cookie. Yeah, I used your invisible 'Vertical' portal to do what I wanted. It works great and does everything I needed.

I created an archway that looks plain and simple without any sign of a portal but when you step through it you teleport up to one of my sky platforms. I'll probably make a dungeon out of it later.

The only thing about the white Enter/Exit slab would have been being able to work in an un-modded environment. But then I would have had to give up the 'invisible' benefit that your mod gives. So, it's an even trade off.

Thanks for your reply. 🍻

[languid lynx]

@modest nimbus Isn't this possible with EWP with vanilla prefabs?
As long as the prefab is vanilla maybe unmodded players can still interact with scripted prefabs?

[modest nimbus]

Hmm, not entirely sure yet what was the question here xD

Getting an environment changed for The dungeon?

Id assume these portals dont come with an envbox of their own to edit?

Also env is kinda easy to do with as you please otherwise as well, could create events for all envs with expand world events, and load those to unlimited Time edited boss eventzone prefabs.

Then can just hammer in any env anywhere as bubbles

@languid lynx maybe someone could make a whole new mod outta these too, so folks could place environments anywhere easily without having to go to Wizard school 😉

Ah, scrolled a bit more and read context, @worldly garnet If your vanilla compatible stuff is supposed to be run on a server, then you can do a lot of stuff with just serverside scripts and no clientside mods required, so could easily make a script that teleports player to xzy when they step on a platform etc

Also can hide a dungeon entrance under terrain with terrainmodifiers disabled to get an envbox in a zone at high altitude, if you need a vanilla compatible dungeon env with a ewp teleport/portal entrance.

[worldly garnet]

Thanks for your reply, Raaka. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make a server side script like that. I'm not a prorgammer and have only ever dealed with the most basic, simple bash scripts. But thanks for your help. I appreciate that.

[modest nimbus]

I can ofc provide some examples, Ewp is easy to get into, im not a coder either and doing just great 🙂

[worldly garnet]

That would be great! 🍻

[modest nimbus]

Theres also a discord channel dedicated to teaching, brainstorming and troubleshooting this sort of stuff xD

And seems like youre a member there already too, ha

[worldly garnet]

Which one is that? Valheim World Editing?

[modest nimbus]

Ye

[worldly garnet]

I need to spend some time there...

[modest nimbus]

I also got a personal interest in figuring out ways to make custom Dungeons with traps & puzzles, caves with water, waterfalls and vegetation and all sorts of wonders in a vanilla compatible server xD

So If youre trying to figure that stuff out, might wanna PM me xD

[worldly garnet]

I will for sure. That's incredible... 😁

@hexed goblet since you have your DM's blocked. I will write directly here for everyone to see.
There is absolutly no reason to be rude to someone asking a simple question in a mods discussion channel. They had a question, you answered very rudely to them. Go read the #rules-and-info again. specially #1

[worldly garnet]

I can sometimes be a little rude or smart ass with my comments, too.

Thanks for the reminder. 🍻

[hexed goblet]

Sorry, wasn’t aware that I was being rude. I was trying to convey that Google works and he should try that because i know that the mods exist that the guy is looking for but I don’t know what they are called. My intention wasn’t to be rude. It was to be informative. Perhaps without much politeness. But not intended as rude.

[keen pond]

Thanks

[languid lynx]

Let me know if you need or want any new pieces.
I need to update BuildPieces with my new modern standardized project format.
I will also take this opportunity to remake all colliders and snap points on every piece to be top notch.

[keen pond]

im mostly looking for ways to make stone look better with some new additions. this seems good so far

[languid lynx]

Yeah, I love my black, gray, white and red stone pieces.

[iron acorn]

Azu! I'm editing the config file inside R2ModMan. I used the link included to look up keybinds that work. The site said if I use [1] then it's binding it to the 1 on my numpad vice the number row. It worked one time in game and then they keybind cleared on the three I edited.

[lime raven]

Anyone know of any mods that adds seat or stools that only use normal basic wood?

[tired crescent]

If you’re using [1] then that is incorrect. Even by the site standards.

It’s Keypad1

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.4/Documentation/ScriptReference/KeyCode.html

I recommend using a config manager to auto set this in game by simply pressing the key after selecting the config option.

[iron acorn]

Okay, I'll send you a DM if you want of the link the config file tells me to use and a screenshot where it tells me to use [1]

[tired crescent]

👍🏻

[iron acorn]

Unless I'm just scrolling to find what I want on it. it says something about virtual axes

[primal rose]

Is there a mod or a command or something that allows me to see how a chest has been interacted with to see if someone stole anything?

[languid lynx]

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/CookieMilk/YouAreBeingLogged/

[hexed goblet]

You could setup a ward to prevent people from opening it

Or use a personal chest

[primal rose]

This doesn't solve the issue.

[primal rose]

This looks good though. https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/CookieMilk/YouAreBeingLogged/ Ty

[hexed goblet]

Just curious what the scenario is where you are concerned about theft but wards don’t work ?

[primal rose]

A public place.

[hexed goblet]

How does that work ? Public space but expectation of privacy ?

[primal rose]

This isn't a mod discussion. If you're that interested in how the server I play on run, send a DM.

[slender pulsar]

how to extend the workbench / stonecuter range

[random iris]

Is there a mod that makes timer stuff work on a dedicated server when nobody is online? (Like how it works even if nobody is nearby, i.e. unloaded)

if not, would it be difficult to make? I have some experience using Harmony with other games, and I use C# every day at work

[devout gazelle]

ZNet UpdateNetTime has check for player count. You can patch that with own implementation.

[lapis hinge]

any mod or something i can change to fix the grass popping up while i get close to new land

[distant zenith]

A bunch of mods do this but you will probably need config manager and use f1 in game to adjust the range. I believe build cam has the option

[worldly garnet]

It sounds like your game is having a bit of lag with graphically rendering new stuff as you travel into new areas.

I think you probably could adjust this without using mods. Try going into your game Settings > Graphics tab and fiddle with a couple of the settings in there. Like 'Draw Distance/Level of Detail and Vegetation Quality, etc., etc.

Can anyone help me figure out the best way to install mods on Xbox Series X, and whether it’s even possible in the first place?

[worldly garnet]

None of the Xbox consoles are capable of installing mods. But you can play on servers that have server side only mods installed there.

There's a list of some of those mods here: https://github.com/Valheim-Modding/Wiki/wiki/Xbox-Compatible-Mods

[tawdry crag]

Awesome, thanks 🙏

I would suggest that you begin your modding adventure by going over to thunderstore.io and downloading their r2modman mod manager. It'll make your modifications SO much easier.

Also, even though you've probably already done all that, while you're there use their search functions to turn up mods in your interest area. And check their 'updated' date to see that it's current.

[thorny kayak]

I have not done anything.

[worldly garnet]

That's the perfect place to start from.

[tawdry crag]

Does anyone know a good guide for Xbox-compatible mod setups, or know somebody who actually understands how the Xbox side of this works?

Really would appreciate it

[thorny kayak]

So start wil thunderstore.io and download r2modman mod manager? Does this work with mods let say I download a mod from Nexus will I be able to manage mods that is downloaded from nexus vs downloading mods from thunderstore?

[worldly garnet]

Well, r2modman is designed to use the thunderstore.io mods. But it will also let you 'import' local mods that you may have downloaded from another source, including Nexusmods.

[oak halo]

There is no xbox side of this. You need a dedicated server (either rented or self-hosted) and install and configure server-only mods from the list you got above on that server. The xbox clients simply connect to that server.

[hexed goblet]

After you install r2modman or Gale (another mod manager) you can have a look at this modpack i maintain. It does a lot of what you asked for: QoL and polish without breaking the game with OP features in a well integrated and easy to setup package. You can add/remove components as desired. The HD packs you mentioned should work. It comes with Seasons installed by default (Different from Seasonality, but if you prefer Seasonality you can use that instead). I recommend thunderstore for all your mods.

NOTE: When using a modmanager like Gale or r2modman it does not mess up your Valheim installation. It installs the mods in a profile directory. That way you can easily switch between them as desired. Or just run vanilla from Steam.

[opal stratus]

hi does any1 know if theres a mod out there for the current version of the game which allows for the blast furnace to take all ores (the one i see updated last time was for mistlands almost 2 years ago)

[hexed goblet]

did you try it ? just because it wasn't updated doesn't mean it doesn't work.

also, did you try thunderstore?

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/TastyChickenLegs/BlastFurnaceTakesAll/

i don't mean to be rude but i found that as the first hit when i searched google: "valheim blast furnace mod" -- have you tried that ?

[random iris]

if i place a bronze pipe going up, then two coming out of it on either side, will it split evenly?

[hexed goblet]

????? huh

[distant zenith]

Item hopper?

[lapis hinge]

I have it all maxed out

[worldly garnet]

When that happened to me I backed off on the settings so the game didn't have to work as hard. The game looked the same to me and it fixed the lag.

[lapis hinge]

The sliders?

[worldly garnet]

Yeah, a couple of the sliders and some of the buttons down below. Experiment with it and see which ones work for you. Most of it is just common sense and the rest is trial an error. I turned off the grass and the shadows, IIRC.

[lapis hinge]

Ill try thank you

[worldly garnet]

Less grass makes it easier to find the mushrooms and the game still looks beautiful. To me, anyway.

[random iris]

Yeh

Also, are the iron versions faster? Or just more build strength?

[distant zenith]

i dont think it splits it iirc, not sure about the iron part, its been a while

[torn maple]

will installing a graphics mod with thunderstore/r2modman pose any threat of corrupting my save files?

i'll make backups either way but if it is risky i might not even bother

[worldly garnet]

Check the mod's web page to get info on downloads and 'thumbs up' flags it's gotten from other users. And verify that it's currently sujpported by it's author.

And, whenever you install a new mod, especially a complex, powerful one, it's a good idea to go to your backups folder and copy your world's .db and .fwl file pair there to a separate new 'archive' place just in case. It just takes a minute or two and is an extra measure of security.

[torn maple]

the mod page has no ratings or reviews 🥺

[worldly garnet]

If it was me, I wouldn't bother, either. The game is already beautiful. Don't fix it if it ain't broke. 😛

[torn maple]

i'm installing the mod so i can look like hatsune miku

[worldly garnet]

Everyone should be able to have their own personal goals. No matter how odd they may seem. Good luck with it!

Don't forget to check your backups first.

[opal stratus]

oh sorry didnt get a ping notif #discordmoment no i havent i foolishly assumed that it just wont work + im using r2modman and yes thats the mod i was reffering to in the parenthesis

Does anyone know how the Humite Necklace of Attunement work in Jewelcrafting v1.5.36 by Smoothbrain

[worldly garnet]

You typically craft this item at the Jewelcrafting Gem Cutting Table. While exact material counts can be customized by server owners via YAML files.

[void vector]

I can very much say that is wrong as adrenaline is never mentioned on the item

[worldly garnet]

Ok, I removed the wrong info.

[void vector]

I mean the only thing that is close is the recipe.
It takes 1 chain, 3k gold, and the Perfect Humite. The effect mentions something about Gemstone detection radius and marking the map.

[worldly garnet]

Ok, sorry then. Can't help you.

[clear lily]

yes, it marks gemstones based on your jewelcrafting level.

hello there! ive been playing Valheim for a while now, friends recently became interested, so about a month ago i started a server subscription for us.

gave the server info to a couple of people i shouldnt have, reverted to last save so no damage done, and moved the world to a new server and password, so we're good.

So after a long story, im here with security mod questions, if they exist and how reliable they are. or any other mod recommendations for fun/qol

i have not modded Valheim before, but i have modded other games. any help for a new modder would be greatly appreciated! no rush 💚

[sleek otter]

what cookie said: or my preference:
serverCharacters

the only catch with YABL is that you need to know how to search the logs for the evidence you suspect exists. That can require some learning if you are not used to doing such things.
It's pretty simple to look through the file listing their plugins when they join though, that gives you info to query players on, and makes them aware that you can see what they are doing. Sometimes thats all you need to do.
Oh, and JereKuusela-Server_devcommands so the admin tools you have are actually useful.

[hexed goblet]

Gale can sync lock profiles. Which is essential for keeping everyone on the same version of all the mods when trying to run a multiplayer server.

No AzuAntiCheat ?

[sleek otter]

no, i find i dont need that so far, people do sometimes add their own faves etc, but in almost every case i just tap the 'try the existing mods first' sign, becasue what they are adding is pretty much always already present. Most peole comply, some people leave, i havent had to get serious with anybody yet. But then australian servers have very few players and servers, so a heavily populated server might have different - more automated - methods

the fact that they know i can see their mods, and later know i can see every thing they touch or drop or hit... makes them reassess what they think they can get away with

normally they have killed eik and spent a few hours in the server before any of that becomes apparent to them though. The players who really intend to cheat use an external app anyway, so you need to be able to see the log of what they do. So when a naked level 1 guy kills eikthyr for 99,999 damage (not a euro decimal) with a level 1 club, i just steamid ban them

last guy came in faster then anybody could have loaded the modpack, i probably could have, but its my modpack... and when i went to his location buildings were collapsing. and as soon as they saw my nametag they left. initially i assumed they were destroying the first structure they found, but now im almost certain they just told jotunn etc that they had the mods it was confirming they had,...but they didnt, so buildpieces didnt exist in thier zone

i guess azu said anticheat detects those apps, but in my experience thats bypassable to anyone who can code

so ifor me it has limits that i prefer to deal with other ways

[languid lynx]

An AC bypasser got uploaded, I managed to snag a copy before it got taken down.
It was literally just a few patches and if that is all it takes to bypass AC I wouldn't wanna deal with what comes with the AC.

This is why I will start recommending this instead https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/MidnightMods/ValheimEnforcer/

[sleek otter]

also when i played on an anticheat server recwently it was a bit of a hassle.. the lack of direct messages as to what was wrong with the mods.. and the server admin needing ot white/black/greylist stuff and the rammifications for config sysching stuff in the greylist

[languid lynx]

Yeah, all that nonsense.

The old approach for AC was way better.

[sleek otter]

yeah, secondlife was great with things you made being secure and therefor sellable... until people just modified their client to do anyhting they wanted. as soon as code became decompilable/source-accessable to some of the hackers; i was out.

old approach?

[languid lynx]

Originally you updated a config file with hashes for the mods before he changed it so you need to have DLLs in a folder.

[sleek otter]

the latter is easier for the average bozxo, but yeah...and the end result is the same too right?

[languid lynx]

~~It's also a bit frustrating that AC is the only mod allowed to still be obfuscated. ~~
Guess that's why it won't get updated anytime soon 😑

Correction (see below):

The rule was:
Any pre-existing obfuscated packages are allowed to to remain.
Any new packages after the rule was made has to be fully unobfuscated.

[sleek otter]

orly.. didnt know that...security by obfuscation isnt ever great

[languid lynx]

Specially not when it takes 1 click to deobfuscate and see the code?

[sleek otter]

i wonder if AI can generate better more mindficky obfuscation than humans

[languid lynx]

I used to be pro obfuscating but it was when I was clueless and didn't know shit.
I still don't know shit but more realized how pointless obfuscating things were.

[hazy umbra]

I'm super new to this, so I really appreciate any help honestly. Is there anyway just to prevent player damage to player structures? Or anything similar? Sorry if I ask dumb questions in advance haha, thank you so much again

Forcing everyone always visible would be helpful too, but not a solution for when we dont have anyone online

[distant zenith]

Ward is love does that it's probably my favorite mod it used to glitch sometimes idk if its updated

[somber locust]

is anyone actively playing with the valheimRAFT mod?

[tired crescent]

Don't spread this. The anticheat is not allowed to be obfuscated. "Still be obfuscated" is because it's not been updated. Midnight's mod is also highly able to be bypassed. The old versions of your mods are still obfuscated on TS also.

I have an update I was working on and will finish when I have more time. The update isn't obfuscated at all, per the new TOS and community rules. There still will be the ability to bypass, it's a client authoritative game. Just takes the correct knowledge and time. You're only fighting the inevitable.

"still be obfuscated." is a reach, and you know it.

Once it updates, it will follow the new community rules just like any other mod has to.

[iron acorn]

Any mods out there that support a thief, sneak, assassin, rogue style of play? Aside from new armor and weapons that boost the sneak skill. Looking for more gameplay-wise.

[hexed goblet]

to follow up on this... i have also looked into writing a "security" mod and Azu is correct, it's a LOT of work to get right and hats off to you for taking this on and doing such a fine job. it is NOT easy to do well and i totally understand why you obsfucated the first version and I look forward to the next version when you have finished.

[worldly garnet]

Why isn't Willybach's HD mod on thunderrtore? I tried to find it but I don't think it's there. Is something wrong with it?

I wanted to try it but I'm not sure...

[languid lynx]

All that is needed is a good mod enforcer, nothing else.
Currently https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/MidnightMods/ValheimEnforcer/ is the best.

[hexed goblet]

what does it do that azuanticheat + serversidecharacters can not ?

[languid lynx]

It's an alternative which is badly needed, monopoly is mods is bad and everyone wins when there options.
It's streamlined compared to AC which is a chore to set up and keep maintained, I like the original version better with the single file.

[hexed goblet]

ah ok

[spice marsh]

Something technical with how Valheim texture replacement works

You have to install it manually

[misty coral]

Anybody using RtDOcean? I got some electrum ingots but no recipe unlocked for me. What else I need to be doing?

[cerulean falcon]

I've been seeing on a server that there you can make the belt and swamp key permanent if you sacrifice them in the obliterator. Its server side (since its a crossplay server) and I'm curious on how to get that behavior on another server of my friend group. Anyone got an idea for how to implement this?

[oak halo]

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/ArgusMagnus/ServersideQoL/

It's an config option in that mod

[cerulean falcon]

Thank you!

[worldly garnet]

Ok, thanks for the info.

Do they really make a big difference in the game's appearance? I kinda don't want to put more game strain on the PC without a pretty good reason.

[spice marsh]

Yeah

Very big difference if you ask me

[worldly garnet]

Ok, I'm gonna create a new character and world and try it out. The game is already beautiful but more detail and realism couldn't hurt but just maybe expand on that.

Thanks, again.

[cosmic holly]

🐐

[cosmic holly]

I tried it. It totally changes the gamr. Wasnt for me tho

[spice marsh]

Is there a mod for filling in spaces between "ground" and walls without the soil going through the wall?

[languid lynx]

To give it stability or why?

[worldly garnet]

He means he wants to make the dirt wall straight up and down not at an angle. Because when you make a basement for a house the basement always has to be smaller than the floor of the house because you can't make the dirt wall straight and not smaller at the bottom and wider at the top when the dirt always has to come through the wall at the bottom 'cause it's not straight up and down.

[languid lynx]

Yeah, due to how the terrain system work "heightmap terrain".

[worldly garnet]

Exactly and, as far as I know, there's no mod made to fix that. But I never really did a search for one. It may not even be possible to make a mod for that, I dunno.

[spice marsh]

It should be in vanilla

Kinda basic and annoying not to have

[languid lynx]

Not possible though with how the terrain is done

[spice marsh]

Change how it's done then

[languid lynx]

Give them a couple million so they can remake the game from scratch 😛

[spice marsh]

Lol

[worldly garnet]

I took your advice and loaded up Willybach's 'Old' HD mod along with his suggested Badger's textures. I put them in a profile with 82 other mods including lots of QoL, Rtd, and Therzie mods and it all runs fine with no errors or compatibility issues at all. My video card is only 6GB RAM so it's middle of the road 'nothing special'.

I'd suggest downloading this video so that you can view it in it's native mode. Otherwise you may not get to see the actual HD video quality. It really impressed me and I just wanted to share that experience here.

[spice marsh]

Is there a mod that fixes holstering?

Like this #suggestions message

[worldly garnet]

You could try this one. I've never used it myself but there no other choices far as I know. 🤷

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

[spice marsh]

Does it fix the animation though?

That's what I'm looking for

[worldly garnet]

Dunno about that. Sorry.

[mighty plover]

I'm finding myself in a difficult position. So far I'm playing straight vanilla but, with my current loadout, I'm considering getting the AzuEPI (Extended Player Inventory). I'd like to hear y'alls thoughts.

Also, I have no idea how to install or turn on mods and don't want to accidentally break something in the process. Thus, I tend to avoid them.

[spice marsh]

Anyone else...? #mods-issues message

[spice marsh]

Just wanted to say this mod is quite nice too

I then also found a mod for weapon sheaths while trying to find the thing I was looking for, and that one is cool too but unfortunately they're incompatible

[distant zenith]

Turns out when you have a bigger inventory, you collect more garbage, which you have to sort, so you get the sorting mod. But all the mods look fun and cool that you see on the mod thing, and youre already modding, it does t change the game that much, and soon enough youre running 40 mods and you ruined your vanilla experience

[distant zenith]

The mod process is easy download thunderstore and youre badically good to go

[hexed goblet]

This guy understands. 👆

This is also why i made zenheim. To polish vanilla, and add some interesting twists to keep it spicy but still fit within the overall design goals of vanilla.

[mighty plover]

There's really only 1-3 mods that I'm actually interested in. The main one being EPI. The other 2 are the farming mods. The biggest draw there is proper spacing for farming (Which could technically be solved with a grid). The other draw is being able to grow certain things outside of their specified biome. Which, again, can be resolved by just moving my base there.

[hexed goblet]

Install Gale or r2modman from thunderstore (i like gale UI but either one works) then use the mod manager to select the mods you want to use. Done.

[mighty plover]

On thunderstore, if I click "Install with Mod Manager" will it just install ALL the things I need for said mod (the AzuEPI specifically)?

I'm a hardware guy and not a software guy.

[distant zenith]

If I recall correctly it will install all dependencies for any mod you download yes just download them and if youre worried about what it is check the dependency list on the mod website and make sure it installed the ones it listed

[hexed goblet]

It’s easiest to just use the search feature within the mod manager itself to find the mod you want. But yes, you can use the web page if you prefer that. And yes it will install all dependencies.

[junior shuttle]

Does anyone have any experience using mods to turn many instances into a single instance? The server I play on has a very large community base and we are closing in on 30000 instances and our framerate is plummeting. My hope is to take the bones of the base and convert it all into a single instance to increase performace. I know its possible but I'm not sure exactly how to go about it. Any tips would be appreciated, thanks.

[mighty plover]

Now I just need the courage to pull the trigger...

[languid lynx]

It doesn't work like that.

Unity is required to make it into a single prefab, cannot be done with mods alone.

[distant zenith]

The absolute worst thing that can happen from extended inventory is you lose your inventory and the worst thing that can happen with plant easily is you never want to farm again vanilla

[mighty plover]

Fair.

[junior shuttle]

upon more research, it looks like with planbuild and infinity hammer mod it is possible.

[languid lynx]

You you can save individual structures as blueprints to place them later but it will not merge all the pieces into one.

[modest nimbus]

Yee, the only merging done so far involving blueprints turned to combined single prefabs are Fires tests like turning Dhakhars Citadel into a prefab, and those were done in Unity like Cookie said xD

[low root]

What happens if I play in someones world with mods installed? Or the opposite, someone plays in my world?

[abstract loom]

does anyone know the name of a mod that allows flat roof pieces

I saw it on r2 mod man and cant for the life of me find it again

I have found it

[snow coral]

MissingPieces?

[hexed goblet]

If they are turned into a single instance then how would you edit them? Knock out a wall, add a structure? Etc ?
