[hexed goblet]

Depending on if the mod is needed in all clients or not. You could have either nothing happen as in the case of a UI mod that only changes your menus or inventory sizes. Or catastrophe if the mod is changing the world in some way or adding items. You won’t see whatever modded content they have.

UNLESS it’s a server only mod like ServerSideQoL

[ionic trail]

Gizmo

[snow coral]

Depends on the mods. If you use an inventory mod for example, your gear might vanish when you go vanilla.

[white shuttle]

quick question - is there a way I can set up raids to be time-based similar to 7dtd? I'm looking at some mods but I'm unfamiliar with which can have that function to make the raids set on a 30 days cycle for example or so

[ebon nacelle]

I do have to admit I like a good looking game, trying out Willybach 2.0 with all the bells and whistles now, any other ideas what to add (must be client side only mod as Server is Vanilla) - so far I like it a lot, but I also adore the Vanilla look, ist just something different to play with for a while

[ebon nacelle]

There is a mod that can schedule things like resetting dungeons with Upgrade_World maybe it can also spawn events like that? not sure just an idea, and I don't remember what the mod is called scheduler something maybe

[shadow pumice]

any valheim modpack for low end pc that has good exploration and fun for multiplayer?

[sleek otter]

cron job

[hexed goblet]

Try this: ZENHEIM. Super optimized and designed for immersion and multiplayer. All core mods coded to work together.

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

[hexed venture]

Looking for ValheimRaft mod, found YouTube video and the most recent comments were saying it doesn’t work anymore, help, I’m looking to build a custom raft to make a huge pirate boat

[hexed goblet]

did "Valheim Raft" on thunderstore.

[abstract loom]

Is there a mod that lets me make tunnels

[snow coral]

Not really. The terrain doesn’t work that way. You could place stones over the top of an excavated tunnel with dev commands

[spice marsh]

Please someone make a mod to remove the sheath animation's slow down effect

I imagine it'd be a very simple mod to make?

Maybe make a better animation too though

[hexed goblet]

You mean swap weapon while moving animation run slowdown ? If so, ZenPlayer fixes that.

[spice marsh]

Thanks

[floral badge]

The closest thing would be to dig out the ground and cover it with stone, then grow vines over it and plant some shrubs etc using plant everything.
The only other way would be to allow a player to make their own dungeons which you would “enter” when moving into the “tunnel entrance” but would have to be handled via digging being the mechanic that enlarges the room a certain direction etc. and I don’t think the game can handle creating more dungeons like that.

[languid lynx]

No. Will never be possible unless you remake the terrain Valheim uses.
With that said, you can simulate caves, digging in various ways.

[abstract loom]

unfortunate

the misty mountain base was calling

[plush thorn]

what are some good valheim mods that add more building styles/types
like different wood structures you can make with wood and stuff like that?
or stone

[languid lynx]

Here's one.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/CookieMilk/BuildPieces/

[untold yarrow]

The best that can be done is faking it within a dungeon. There are a few mods that allow convincing caves and tunnels, but they end up disconnected from the terrain since technically they're thousands of meters above.

[trail portal]

guys idk if this is the right channel but im having a problem with epic loot mod 🙁 i cant see any changes after changing balance template config to legendary or minimal does anyone know why?

[gaunt geyser]

What are you trying to do?

[trail portal]

in config there are 3 settings balanced minimal and legendary legendary one makes the mod more op i wanna be op so i try to change to legendary but i dont see any changes with the enchanting table

[gaunt geyser]

The changes are in the form of how strong new enchantments are. The enchanting table itself isn't going to change.

Legendary gives you ranges which grant significant amounts of power and can trivialize bosses etc. (eg: +5-25hp items)
Balanced gives some power but becoming especially powerful is still hard. (eg: +2-12hp items)
Minimal gives you very little power. (eg: +1-6hp)

[trail portal]

power ranges dont change for me i tried it out in a world where i cheat lifesteal range was 2,5 to 5 in both balanced and legendary

[gaunt geyser]

Changing the balance template does not change existing items. Just new rolls.

If you are running this on a server you will need to change the setting on the server side, not the client.

[trail portal]

the power range on the new rerolls was the same for me maybe i need to find the weapon after changing to legendary mode?

[trail portal]

thank you for help have a good night 🙏

[neon gazelle]

hey did someone know an update mod for share map and ping auto in coop ?

[graceful karma]

whats a good mod for increse inventory slot, i tried one but items disappere when use it (or actually is that i could see the 2 extro row in the inventory) i think the one i tried was from azumatt, but anyways someone can tell me one for single player that works? im using also relickeim and another pack jorney to QOL something like that

[hexed goblet]

many people like either Azumatt's Extended Player Inventory or shudnal's Extra Slots. I am a proponent of vanilla inventory sizes though because extra inventory space shortens the game and adds extra complexity and nullifies the utility of the cart. If you just want inventory organization ZenUI can assign your equipped items to fixed positions in your inventory so that that it stays organized without changing the capacity of your inventory.

But up to you, here are the most common inventory slot expansion mods that people use:

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

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

[graceful karma]

yeah i know in fact im playing in a mod that makes mobs stronger (way stronger) cos i like the challenge of the fight. but i hate the challenge on going back 4 times just to take staff from boxes i left where i looted... its not harder its just longer eheh

[hexed goblet]

sure, then up to you. those are the two most popular inventory expansion mods

[neon gazelle]

hey did someone know an update mod for share map and ping auto in coop ?

[junior shuttle]

is there a way to have a build menu with assests in the game included? I found infinity hammer great because it can copy any asset in the game and I can place it, but theres no menu from which I can select assests from. For example if I wanted to build an underground base and I wanted a list of the boulders in the game to choose from, how would I get a list like that?

[junior shuttle]

nvm figured it out. with infinityhammer it is possible to have a menu like that. needed config manager to bind the menu button, then needed space in inventory to get the new hammer.

[icy gust]

Can anyone tell me why i'm still dropping items when i set the death difficulty to very easy? On a dedicated server with mods.

[sinful dock]

I think very easy only affects skill loss, not item dropping

[sleek otter]

iirc Searica-More_Vanilla_Build_Prefabs exposes vanilla boulders etc but you have to flip a config option first.

[sleek otter]

maybe OneMapToRuleThemAll

[devout gazelle]

There is also More Vanilla Build Prefabs mod.

[abstract loom]

kind of not an issue but if i want to change a config for a modded world im hosting with friends if i change server config does it mean all my friends are affected aswell

basically which one should i change

[misty coral]

we installed RTDOcean after creating our world. Some of the islands etc. that the mod brings are not there. is there a way to regenerate those areas for the unexplored parts?

[abstract loom]

for some reason my boat is playing music

please help me it only happens when im in the wind what mod is it

[worldly garnet]

The F5 console command 'genloc' will do that. It will take some time to do that so you'll have to be patient.

Also, make sure you have current world backups just in case of any problems.

[stray hill]

Has anyone tried VR mods or the enchanced magic one?

[sacred folio]

What's going on? Half of the mods aren't working.

[cosmic holly]

Check bepinx for error messages

[sacred folio]

And where can I do that?

[cosmic holly]

Log output in the mod loader or the .log file in your bepinx folder in valheim folder

[worldly garnet]

Did they ever work? Are they too old and now broken? Are you loading them manually and didn't extract them first? Did you put them in the right folder?

[misty coral]

thanks

[sacred folio]

They were still working yesterday . No, I don't charge them manually. If they were too old, Thunderstone would report it.

[hexed goblet]

did you change the version of valheim installed?

what does your error log say? Check BepInEx/LogOutput.log

[ionic trail]

Also you can use Upgrade world for generate locs in explored areas

[sacred folio]

And where is it?

[hexed goblet]

Steam

[sacred folio]

No, I didn't change the version.

I looked but couldn't find them.

[sacred folio]

The strange thing is that all the materials are available in the world. But I can't do anything about it.

[simple glen]

So i play with MacOS (m4) and friend plays on windows.

Is there a way for us to play modded multiplayer?

[worldly garnet]

See if this post here has the info you want re: modding a MAC:

#mac-bugs-discussion message

[full bone]

Hello!
I crafted a Food Prep Table, and then the Fish Press next to it, adding a roof over all.
I put fish in the press, it looked like it was going to do something, but there was no output of fish oil.
What did I do wrong or am missing from the process to make it work?
Thank you!!

[languid lynx]

If you're even able to connect as the majority of mods are version synced.
The only mods that are safe to use are pure client mods, not content mods.

So yes, if you have mods that are more than client mods, uninstall them.

[wise kite]

Never run into issues with mods like Valheim plus or something else that only uses existing content within the game or modifies it slightly in multiplayer, but good to know. Is there a good way to have an extra copy of the game installed so I don't have to go through the process every time, perchance?

[languid lynx]

Yes but then it becomes a situation of your client changing things for the other which is more an out of respect thing.
Yeah, if you use a mod manager simply click play unmodded or create a new copy of your Valheim install.

[spice marsh]

Why with ZenPlayer I can sheath and unsheath weapons and shields separately while sprinting but R key still doesn't work with sprinting?

Doesn't make sense

[autumn sail]

Is anyone using rtd mods by soloredis? Im having issues with them, they are installed and other mods seem to be working but not them specifically

[languid lynx]

RtD mods blocks other mods for some reason so it might be that.
In that case you need this patcher https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/IAmOnTheInternetAndItIsScary/NoArbitraryIncompatibilityFlag/

[hexed goblet]

Please elaborate ?

[hexed goblet]

Yes, it should work. But modding on Mac is a little different. Most mods will work fine though. You have to google how to mod a Mac though. I don’t know. But the info is out there.

[spice marsh]

I mean I can and unselect select a weapon while running but I can't sheath and unsheath with R key

[hexed goblet]

No? You should be able to. Have you tried testing in a profile with ONLY ZenPlayer installed ?

[spice marsh]

No

I'll try that

[autumn sail]

Thank you I may try it

[fiery jungle]

Can someone suggest me a good mod or way to keep inventory on death for my dedicated server?

[worldly garnet]

There are several good mod's for that. This one looks promising:
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/MidnightMods/Deathlink/

[fiery jungle]

much appreciated ty

[floral badge]

Yes there is a way, I play on a Mac with a ton of mods just fine.
There are several guides on how to setup the game to work with mods, there is a steam one I think.
Essentially once you have enabled running with Rosetta etc, you need to get both the plugins and config folders and replace the current ones with the modded ones.
You can use the thunderstore or r2modman on the PC to setup the game however you wish, then once u are happy, copy them over and replace on macOS.
Each time a mod updates, you’ll need to repeat this process for the changed mods.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3676801930

I used this one with good success. It’s probably not the best one or there are easier ones to follow but this worked for me.

[safe wolf]

guys where can i find valheim mods and what are the main websites for it

[worldly garnet]

This site pretty much does it all. Download their mod manager r2modman, too.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/

[cosmic holly]

@bleak scaffold bow plugin and projectile tweaks both can change projectile speed which affects dropoff. Also they can change other stuff

As for pickup radius, i like tastychickenlegs superconfigurablepickup radius

Personally i prefer bow plugin since projectile tweaks causes log spam

Also bow plugin does more

[bleak scaffold]

Sorry just seeing this now. Thank you

[pliant jasper]

My game seems to be broken. Installed a bunch of mods, game launches just fine, but when I get to character creator I cant change the appearance and cant click the finish button to create the character

[slow jolt]

I am running a private dedicated server for myself and friends. 3 of us are in the Ashlands, but I also have a couple others playing, one in the mistlands, and the others just starting and newly entering the black forest.

The issue I'm having is the random seekers attacking at night. The noobs on the server have no chance at night now.

Is there a mod that will allow me to either use the players level (last boss killed) to determine what roaming beasts patrol at night, or a way to totally disable night time beast?

[worldly garnet]

You can try using the F5 console command setkey PlayerEvents that should limit the raids as appropriate for the players.

[slow jolt]

Doesn't that erase the completed levels? So the Ashlands folks won't be registered as completing all the previous bosses?

I don't understand why the Dev's don't have spawning monsters based on the highest level in any render area....aka, if I'm a beginner, I'm not going to have Seakers spawning in unless it's within an Ashlands level players render range.

[worldly garnet]

I believe that's exactly what it does. However, we'll never know if you don't try it.

If you do try it, be sure to get back to us and let us know what happened.

[slow jolt]

My searching did mention the setkey playerevents command, and all notes about it are all saying it resets the boss levels for all players, not just the person in question. That's why I was asking about any known mods.

[worldly garnet]

My own searches say that it resets the raid levels from 'world' based to 'player' based. I didn't assume it sets them to the highest or the lowest players but rather to the players in the area being raided.

[slow jolt]

hmmm. Let me look further then. I may have missed that. Thanks

[worldly garnet]

As with anything you do that changes anything on a whole world basis, make sure your world backups are current and available in case of total disaster.

[marsh vale]

one of zen's mods can do it and remove the higher level spawns from the early biomes

[marsh vale]

@tough elbow slowmode in other channel will hamper any further conversation there. but just wanted to make you aware. its one of the most common issues people come into the bepinex discord for but mac representation is low enough its hard to tell if its also a problem on that platform

[tough elbow]

sadly i'm not super familiar with valheim on windows and linux as i use mac, but asking an AI about this got me this answer:

"Steamworks reads steam_appid.txt from
the cwd of the process. If a Win/Linux user double-clicks valheim.exe
directly, cwd might be C:\Users...\Desktop, not the game folder, and
the file isn't found. run_bepinex.sh on Mac does cd "$BASEDIR" before
execing the binary, so cwd is always the game folder, file always
found"

so it's probably a mismatch in the directory

and i'm also using Goldberg to prevent the launch of steam and it apparently kills the relaunch if a steam restart is triggered by anything so it likely will crash or not let valheim boot at all

forgot to reply @marsh vale sorry 😔

[marsh vale]

The steam_appid.txt part is right as it is a fix but its not common for people to do that. Im not familiar with it enough to know if all of steamworks like the networking still work when doing that. The cwd part is a complete AI fabrication.

[languid lynx]

Arrowmaster is correct, if you launch Valheim without Steam running, BepInEx will shit itself.

[tough elbow]

i didn't know that at all 😭 damn

[marsh vale]

actually it seems I am partially wrong. the damn code to set DOORSTOP_DISABLE is only in the windows version of doorstop! https://github.com/NeighTools/UnityDoorstop/blob/3ac0156aebc33305865fa3dd2559752ed1dcdf00/src/windows/entrypoint.c#L251-L252

if your modmanager is just for valheim its probably fine. if you support other games that only have windows versions and running them through whatever the current equivalent of wine/proton is on mac it will be a problem

[tough elbow]

i'm now curious to try that out on an emulator

[tough elbow]

actually goldberg solves this issue as goldberg replaces steam entirely

goldberg prevents steam from relaunching

goldberg follows a identical process to Reloaded II: Universal Steam Hook

https://github.com/Reloaded-Project/reloaded.universal.steamhook

[calm kettle]

Salam
I need some help please

[cosmic holly]

Well?

[hexed goblet]

You want per player progression.

I have mods that make this work

ZenBossStone for per player boss stone trophy progression
ZenRaids for controlling raids
ZenWorldSettings for controlling random spawns from world advancement.

Combined they will address the issue

You may want to also look at ZenPlayer

[calm kettle]

I download valhiem using xbox app on my PC, using mod from r2 application
I added some mods to build a good base and once i lunched the game i can't build anything it's like i choose what to build but i can't place them on the ground

[calm kettle]

Can u help me guys? Still waiting

[hexed goblet]

Remove the mods you added.

[calm kettle]

Thanks for your ultimate solution but currently not available due to the needs of the mods

[pliant jasper]

Is/Was jewelcrafting broken earlier? I had an issue with my game not being alble to create character

`Jewelcrafting conflict + duplicate item registration.
Main issues from log:

Jewelcrafting throws NullReferenceException in AddItemToBag.Prefix during OnNewCharacterDone / GiveDefaultItems.
Duplicate item key error (619304804) in ObjectDB (Jotunn ItemManager).`

[worldly garnet]

Do you get an error msg when you try to place something?

Are you trying to build in a no-build area? Are you lacking resources or not close enough to a workstation?

You can check your player log file in your BepInEx folder to see if there are errors in there that would explain it.

[calm kettle]

Seems issue being solved when i started new world

[bleak scaffold]

im looking for a mod that shows exactly what your skill level is changing - for example, bow level 25, what does that really mean? what are the % increases to my stats?

[worldly garnet]

This mod shows you exactly what's happening with your skills as you go:
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/godzki/SkillsPreview/

And this one is a powerful skill enhancement mod that lets you know where you are and also gives you advanced abilities for your skills:
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/MidnightMods/ImpactfulSkills/

There's a couple of other skill related mods that look pretty promising over at thunderstore.io, too. Check them out with a search there for 'skills'.

[bleak scaffold]

thank you!!!

[bleak scaffold]

have you personally used the impactful skills mod? im worried its a little too overpowered for my vanilla+ playthrough

[worldly garnet]

I haven't used it yet but it's very tempting. I'd recommend trying it on a test world maybe with a new character first to see how you like it.

And, as always, make sure your world and character backups are still current and available in case you want to go back to before you did the test for any reason.

[gaunt geyser]

Impactful skills is fully customizable if you feel anything is over powered you can tune it down easily or disable that feature.

[bleak scaffold]

im having issues where a certain mod is dropping items a couple meters away from where it should drop, any ideas what may be causing this? its happening with a copper deposit rn. my only guess is superconfigurablepickupradius

[gaunt geyser]

What things does it happen with?

[bleak scaffold]

its happened with just a few enemy drops, barely any though. it keeps happenign with this copper deposit im mining rn

[bleak scaffold]

ive decided not to use this mod because it just feels a little too overpowered and im overwhelmed looking at the config menu. do you have any suggestions of any mod that reworks the skill system while staying balanced?

[bleak scaffold]

this really isnt a big issue u can ignore this tbh

[gaunt geyser]

Honestly Impactful skills is probably the least powerful skills mod out there- most all of the other ones will make you much more powerful.

Impactful skills might look very powerful, but you do have to actually skill all of the way to get powerful bonuses. Impactful skills also does not give you straight power increases like increased damage, health, stamina etc.

Many of the skill mods give you either flat health, stamina or scaling of those- or they increase your damage significantly.

What would you want from a skills system rework if it isn't straight power, or qol perks?

[bleak scaffold]

hmmmm okay thank you for the in depth explanation

with impactfulskills, the only reason im instantly saying its too OP after just barely using it is that I am only pickaxes level 23 and i just mined a few nodes off my copper deposit and i already have a full stack. it was probably 1.5-2 minutes of mining

is the mining skill bugged? i just felt like the amount of copper ore i got was ridiculous for being this early on in the game

like sure i can just go in and edit the mining config but if the other skills are proportionate to this one, i feel like its a but overpowered

unless the mining skill is just bugged

[gaunt geyser]

Mining isn't bugged, its just tuned to give you 2x the resources when you are all leveled up. How much copper would you expect to get after a few minutes of mining? You could just turn that skill modification off if it feels like too much for you 🤷 one toggle

if you have other loot drop mods though- I have heard it multiples a fair bit

[bleak scaffold]

i dont have other loot drop mods. last night i mined 80% of the copper deposit im talking about rn and i got a little over 1 stack. just now, i mined the last 20% of it and i just got a little under 1 stack

[gaunt geyser]

I mean that seems about right to me mod or not 😆 but up to you.

Your gonna need a lot more copper than that either way 😅

[bleak scaffold]

yeah lol i guess ur right. this isnt my first playthrough anyways so why should i care if im spending less time on the grindy aspects lol

[gaunt geyser]

Yeah I mean thats my thought, but again, its configurable, everyone likes things different so pick what you want and turn off the rest

[bleak scaffold]

thanks for the help anyways

[tame halo]

dw @silk rain i saw it

[silk rain]

make sure you get the right one btw. check the update dates. theres like several duplicates of it for some reason that are super old and outdated

[modest pivot]

hello, can you recommend just a few qol mods for the server? or stuff that you think is good to have

[floral badge]

Might be easier if you give some information around what types of QOL you would enjoy as there are a lot of them, almost a mod for every part of Valheim.
The best way is to gradually add them one at a time and try them out, some don’t work well with others etc.
what would be your most important thing you would like to change that would make it more fun?

[modest pivot]

i don't have time right now to do this step by step given that i don't want to mess with this too often on a server

easier manipulation with chests, better placement of signs on chests (if it exists), easier building and stuff like that

building particularly can be a mess sometimes, forcing things to snap as i want them

btw, is valheimplus still recommended to use?

[modest pivot]

one mod that people will surely enjoy is more and better personalization of character

[hexed goblet]

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

[modest pivot]

Thank you kindly

[hexed goblet]

sure thing... here are a few others that are pretty handy:

open the nearest chest when you access a crafting station and craft directly from it. Also lets you build from the resources in your connected cart.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/ZenDragon/ZenConstruction/

distribute items from your cart or ships into nearby containers for easy unloading of cargo.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/ZenDragon/ZenDistributor/

i make a lot of mods that revolve around QoL and polish but keep the game balanced towards vanilla, you may want to look at all of them, just click on my name on Thunderstore.

[crystal minnow]

does any1 know an safe webside where i can download mods pls dont troll idw get an virus or smth like that
thx

[pliant jasper]

Nesux Mods or Thunderstore

[vocal plover]

My boyfriend And I have been playing valheim with some small mods. When we run through the game once, we are looking to add mods to basically change the game. Anyone have recommendations on quest type mods to play with the boat mod?

[worldly garnet]

There are lots of good modpaks on thunderstore.io for that. Do a search there and review the results that come up.

Choose a modpak that suits your preferences and is reasonably current.

[pliant jasper]

Has there ever been a mod to remove all the water in the game?

[languid lynx]

Why would you want that? lol

[pastel wind]

Don't underestimate thalassophobia

[worldly garnet]

You could create a new world using either "TENLETTERS" or "IronGate" as the world seed.

It wouldn't cost anything to try and see if that does what you want, anyway.

[pliant jasper]

They did it in subnautica. Would be funny to look at

[pliant jasper]

I meant actually removing the water so that you could walk across the bottom of the ocean/rivers

[worldly garnet]

Ok, but the bottom of the Ocean and rivers are extremely dull. Just basically blank dirt and some rocks. Meh...

[pliant jasper]

I think after deep north they should do an underwater/Ocean overhaul for the next 5 years of development

[stiff flume]

Are there good performance mods for valheim or do i have to wait till the devs (maybe) fix performance

[pliant jasper]

I would also like to know because I get microstutters every 15 seconds and its annoying

[stiff flume]

I cant run the game properly only microstutters would be heaven

[pliant jasper]

Specs?

[stiff flume]

Intel core i3 8 gb ram

No gpu

[languid lynx]

bruh

[pliant jasper]

Yeah... that would explain it

Im on an i7 16GB with a 3060, gaming laptop and can barely run the game.

[gaunt geyser]

No run less mods, turn off dynamic lights

[stiff flume]

I dont run mods, how to turn off dynamic lights

[languid lynx]

You reminded me of something.
Check #mods-screenshots

[pliant jasper]

That reminds me of that one ocean game. Similar mechanic to that but I can’t remember the name right now.

[languid lynx]

Yeah, I know which one you mean!

[pliant jasper]

Breakwaters

What if mayhaps you increase radius to 10000 meters? 🤔

[languid lynx]

There will be no water lol

[pliant jasper]

Precisely lol. Does it cumulate or just kinda disappear water? Like if I went to the edge of the world, would there be a giant wall or still just water level height?

[languid lynx]

What do you mean?

[pliant jasper]

Is the water capable of cumulating past the native “sea level” or does the displacement just kinda make water disappear if you displace too much?

[languid lynx]

Nah, Valheim doesn't have a physical water in in that sense, it's just a plane really.
So it just disappears.

[pliant jasper]

Still interesting l

[gaunt geyser]

Esc, or main menu, hit settings, graphics and adjust dynamic light sources to zero or 1 whatever the min is.

[pliant jasper]

Would be a cool mechanic if it was tied to some kind of item and there were sunken ruins or ships that you could explore for loot.

I’m thinking something like Assassins creed black flag.

[languid lynx]

Yeah, anything is possible.
Place a piece, wear an item, drop an item...

Or do you mean that you could find a unique item that gives you this ability etc?

[stiff flume]

Wisplight but for water

[crystal minnow]

thanks yall for helping with the mod loaders i was on an even so sry for not anwering

[opaque hatch]

Hi all! Is there a mod that I can put on my multiplayer server to make it so me and my friends aren't shoving each other around? Either making it so we can move through player hot boxes or not move other players?

[novel harness]

there are a few that i used before

if you just go on r2modman and search "performance" youll find a bunch, look through them and look for what you need

[modest pivot]

if i'm installing this manually, how do i deal with translations overwriting each other?

or how do i deal with english.json for each mod

sorry if it's a stupid question, didin't do much of valheim modding yet

can't also use gale or other mod organizer when putting this into hosted server

should i create a subfolder in /plugins and put .ddl with translation folder in there?

[floral badge]

You need to add the mods locally and upload the modded files to the server

[modest pivot]

ok, downloaded r2modman, which just put all that stuff into a folder and then put them in plugins

i'm not really sure whether my bepinex is installed correctly as apparently nitrado valheim plus install is outdated so i had to get rid of it

how do i see if bepinex is installed correctly on server

[modest pivot]

having some real issues with this, it seems like a linux server and i need to change run_bepinex.sh as configurable but how do i this over ftp?

[floral badge]

Open up duck.ai and see if that can help

[hexed goblet]

Best approach is to use a mod manager. If you don’t then pay very close attention to the dependencies and make folders for each mod under plugins.

Really you should just use a mod manager though. Your life is so much easier with profiles and version dependencies automatically handled.

If you are installing on a server just create a local profile in mod manager called “server” then copy the plugins folder to the server.

[bleak scaffold]

any working mod that removes portal loading screen? all the ones i have tried dont work

[sleek otter]

Server I'm on now has a bunch of balrond mods ive never played before, its a bit of a learning curve with all of the new things but it's definitely growing on me.
these are the core it

Balrond-balrond_amazing_nature-1.2.1
Balrond-balrond_arsenal_reborn-0.1.6
Balrond-balrond_constructions-1.4.0
Balrond-balrond_humanoidRandomizer-1.4.0
Balrond-balrond_MonsterMayehm-0.2.4
Balrond-balrond_shipyard-1.6.5
Rotceh999-ClimbingMod-1.1.5
sighsorry-Dive_In-1.0.5

[sleek otter]

You end up writing a bunch of scripts to make it a tolerable process, to the point where you are writing a mod manager... or you use a modmanager like gale or r2

[modest pivot]

resolving this was quite straightforward but making bepinex work on damn nitrado hosting server is an ongoing issue....likely the worst company for valheim hosting

it simply won't work unless their supports fixes it

[worldly garnet]

I'm beginning to wonder why anyone goes with Nitrado. Are they the cheapest or something?

[marsh vale]

So no matter which host you use, you don't do this. Most hosts have a toggle you can turn on that will auto install BepInEx or V+

[modest pivot]

they had server placed in a location that i wanted (London). were fairly cheap and offered modding straight out of box, but i didn't know the outcome yet. They have their bepinex bundled with valheimplus which is long outdated and i didn't know that before

issue is that i can't remove valheimplus from plugins as it auto iinstalls on server startup

[marsh vale]

You could have used ValheimMinus. But it's better for them to learn they need to just support regular BepInEx.

But they don't seem to be learning

[modest pivot]

would be much easier than trying to figure out what is wrong when trying to install bepinex myself on their server

they are using docker to start server and it calls for i don't know what. didn't find any configuration files. must be hidden in some mount somewhere

[marsh vale]

You don't have access to any of that. You don't install BepInEx on any of the server hosts that I know of, their scripts have to install it for you. The others give you a BepInEx only or V+ option, but that one only has V+

[modest pivot]

Isn't it a bit unreasonable to not give people access to this?

Well whatever, beyond my control. I'd ideally ask for a refund for such a botched service.

[marsh vale]

no you never give people access to change the running process which is what needs to happen for a manual install of bepinex on linux (running the script which runs the server instead of running the server directly). the hosting providers launch scripts should just have a flag in them for if v+ or bie is enabled and they do the same thing as the script does if needed.

[modest pivot]

i see, that makes sense

[marsh vale]

if they let you override what gets run you could upload something other than the game server that might use way more resources than they planned for. or worse have it run a local privilege elevation exploit (like the ones all over the linux news this week) and take over the entire server.

[modest pivot]

ok, when i spoke with the bot in their support it was asking me to install bepinex myself

Which is pretty stupid given what you just told me.

[marsh vale]

ive never used that host so I dont know maybe they do something diffrent. but the others I know of you have a toggle. I lot of them are actually using either pterodactyl, amp, or linuxgsm as their backend with their own webinterface ontop to hide it

[modest pivot]

this one has a webinterface as well and i'm not knowledgeable enough about this to know these command line tools but i don't think they do it much differently. It would be all fine if they didn't have an outdated mod as a prerequisite for bepinex working

either way, the AI bot helper was completely hallucinating there

[native needle]

Anyone tried Amazing Nature? Hows it like, progresion-wise? Slower paced than vanilla?

[tame vault]

Is there such a mod where when you find items to unlock new building and crafting recipes, when playing in a group, you have to pass the ‘for example a Drake trophy’ so everyone can discovery the recipes, is there a mod that when one person unlock new recipes, the whole server gets access?

[sleek otter]

it is. initially its a bit annoying because of all the additional stuff and different ways you make the bundled benches etc, but it keeps you needing things from earlier biomes, so it slows thiings down in a good way becasue theres reasons to hang out in the nice biomes when nothing there can really even threaten you any more.

[sleek otter]

so what you are saying is that you like the idea of seeing continuous new item discovery toasts for several hours eery day?

[sleek otter]

the way it lets you portal scraps but not ore is a good dynamic too. I spent seeral days with just enough iron that i could have either a sword, a shield, a mace or a pick, but mostly only one at a time, so i regularly reclaimed and remade it into whateer i needed to get to the next few lumps of ore or stack of scraps... even after a couple of crypts you come away with so many different metal scraps that despite having a full set of iron armor and weapons now it has been at least a week RLtime, and several extended sessions to gather while exploring, portal home and then do the boat trip to retrieve all of my various ore stashes for the final upgrades... meanwhile i was doing all sorts of other useful stuff like farming taming exploring etc.
It seems to have prolonged the period during which i have iron technology and am enjoying using it, slowly building it whiloe i also colect stuff i cant use yet like blackmetal, portalling scrap and stashing ore for a return journey later.

[tame vault]

yea i guess so, with out group we would be on the same line of progression, so its not like someone in the black forest and seeing silver available, its more for the trophies that are rarer, or boss trophies before someone hooks it on the stone, im running a warfare mod and more trophies are needed for new weapons, so it would be good for everyone to see what cool stuff is available

[native needle]

Thanks for the info, sounds like the mod is really fun 🙂

[hardy edge]

Hey Fellow Mod(d)er vikings! Does anyone know of a mod that makes your buildings and terraformings show up on the map?

[modest pivot]

sorry to be a bother but do you know any hosting services where mod support is confirmed to work properly?

[modest pivot]

hello, i'd like to understand one thing. If i put this on server then a client without the same exact mod won't be able to connect. The mods don't work with just them being on the server, right?

[hexed goblet]

correct

they must be on both ends (or some of them will work client side only, but it's best to put them on both ends because then the server can enforce the configurations)

[hexed goblet]

gtxgaming

[modest pivot]

i am actually rethinking my strategy now, i don't want to enforce the mods on server

[hexed goblet]

ok, well, if you read the description some of my mods work client side only, some require to be on the server. they are marked as such

but in many cases you can't change the configs unless it's on the server.

also, if you don't put any sort of regulations on the server with some sort of server side restrictions then clients will install whatever they want on their clients and wreck your server with cheats, unless you are playing with people you 100% trust.

[stark swallow]

Why did clicking the "play Modded" button on thunderstore not start the game with the mods I downloaded. It just booted regular old vanilla

[worldly garnet]

Did you tell thunderstore to download them or to install them? If you downloaded them, did you then install them manually?

[stark swallow]

Everything says its its Installed. I only got 2 manual + the 3 the mods require for them to function and everything says installed. and they're enabled

[languid lynx]

DId you get BepInEx?

[stark swallow]

they all say "installed on Sun May 10 2026.

And yes Bepin is in there, that auto installed along with Jotunn.

i just wanted to try out the valheim raft mod and that one required jotunn

[languid lynx]

You made sure to pick the correct Valheim?
There's Steam and non-Steam.

[stark swallow]

Only one pops up when i search for it?

[languid lynx]

When you click it, it asks you if you want Steam or non-Steam

[stark swallow]

oh yeah, Steam or Xbox Game Pass. Yeah i click the steam

[languid lynx]

Go into settings of the app and make sure it points to your Valheim install.

[stark swallow]

ahhh ill figure it out later when i wake up, im still half asleep and not thinking clearly. thanks for the help anyway 👍

[languid lynx]

If it still doesn't work after that I would recommend to reinstall Valheim to get a fresh, clean start.

[wise kite]

Is there a mod for planting a specific type of grass instead of just "restoring" ground coverage? Example: I want to clear out a forest in meadows and I want to plant grass there instead of a forest bed.

[pliant jasper]

Is there any way to split save games and character between different mod profiles?

[worldly garnet]

How do you mean?

[pliant jasper]

Like I have one epic loot profile and one Jewelcrafting profile. Both characters show when I launch modded. I was wondering if there was a way to make them their own seperate instances so only my epic loot character shows when I launch from that profile and same for jewelcrafting.

[worldly garnet]

There isn't in the r2modman manager. I suspect not in Gale, either.

Maybe you can try giving them names related to their worlds.

[marsh vale]

the dedicated server has a -savedir argument but afaik no such thing exists on the client so there is no way for a mod manager to implement per profile game saves. a mod might be able to do it but I suspect it would have to hook deep into the game logic and the risks are high of creating cloud sync conflicts

[languid lynx]

@cosmic holly You can reply here.

[cosmic holly]

I think ite be cool to add a way to place wooden structures under water, either as supports for buildings in the ocean, or as underwater builds

The bubble thing wasnt what i meant

Currently, wood structures rot in water. Add a way to change that so you can run to the bottom of the ocean, build something, take off the circlet, and live underwater

Also make it so if you put the circlet on an item or armor stand, it dispels the water like normal

[languid lynx]

But if you take off the circlet you start floating?

Or did you just want the overall system to enable live under water, build under water without equipping items?

[cosmic holly]

I was thinking go under water with the circlet, build underwater, put the circlet on a stand, and then the inside of the hpuse is dry but outside its underwater

I think itd be interesting to have a new item you can add to wood build peices to make them water prrof

[languid lynx]

Ah, no that's not possible.
The water doesn't have any physics like that in Valheim.

Like there's no "displacement" so if you build under water you can't remove the water from inside the building.

Unless you make the house the bubble but then the top of the water would disappear too

Same with how you can't have caves.

[cosmic holly]

well just cuz vanilla doesnt do that doesnt mean you cant entirely rewrite the game from the ground up to make it work 🤓

[low root]

is there a mod to reduce forsaken power cooldown?

[cosmic holly]

I know of one but it also does a million other things you might not want and its partially ai generated so

Passive powers might be similar?

[sleek otter]

vikingsDoSwim has the atlantean crown, that lets you breathe underwater
if you arent already aware there are numerous 'no rain damage' type mods avaliable that also protect against submersion damage you probably need to spend some time searching thunderstore

that doesnt mean you cant entirely rewrite the game
oh you

[cosmic holly]

I am completely aware of the no wear mods

No reason this one cant as well, but my suggestion was make it require a special thing to be added to the peice, like adding extra tar or something idk

It was a half baked idea at best

[sleek otter]

not as aware as you assume, what you mentioned is already a mod

[cosmic holly]

I play with the vikingsdoswim mod and i know what the atlantean crown does. I also dont see how irs relevant

[sleek otter]

i imagine it may be practical to use your 'push the water down' tech demo i saw a video of, and put tiles of https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/AGA7ON/BuildWater/ on top of it.... pretty janky if it even worked though

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/JasterLee/SuperWax/

[novel harness]

[pliant jasper]

My serpents keep randomly dissapearing....

[static torrent]

Anyone add SeaAnimals to the RTDMMO modpack? Curious if thats worth it. Also is anyone else using RtDMMO? I wanted to add a few more mods to it that are tested safe.

[floral badge]

I ended up removing it and reverting the world back to how it was. All the RtD stuff seems fine but just wasn’t for us with how it worked and we had weird bugs here and there. Community was cool tho. Try it out after saving your world. They have their own discord so probs best to ask all this in there

[smoky vapor]

I got a bounty on a ocean snake that is not being hit by my harpoon, is it normal?

[static torrent]

Can anyone share some modpacks? Was looking for a pack that uses NorseDemigod with a mix of RDTMMO and Therzie/Monstrum mods if possible or just a good pack with focus on one or the other, the more content the better. Cheers

[worldly garnet]

Just as a related thought, I seem to recall that when I used those mods together, they did work well but I took advantage of the extensive configuration options they all had.

For instance, I hated the damn pixies! So, I turned them off in the .cfg file. 😛

[static torrent]

Buwhaha I just loaded up the RtD mod pack today and ran into them first thing and got nuked. They seem super strong for a forest mob

[floral badge]

We are using the mod that creates a bunch of extra POI around the world, more world locations. So nice sailing past strange structures etc haha.
We destroyed a ward in a dverger tower we found which was cool and in a good base location, has a bunch of dverger in there who are still friendly because we used eitr to take out the ward. After the ward is gone, the message has changed to “a mystical force prevents..” like at world spawn, but we can’t work out why this message is happening and if anyone knows how to remove it so we can build in there etc otherwise we will have to install yet another mod to allow building in those places? 🤷🏼‍♂️
Is there a devcommand I can run to remove the mystical force just in that area, and not mess up anything else?

[sleek otter]

@floral badge its probably the POI mod causing that, especially if it can regenerate locations/dungeons
Searica-BuildRestrictionTweaksSync-1.2.1 should be one of your core mods anyway, so yet another mod doesnt apply to it.

[ionic trail]

Hm, maybe you can install ESP and WEC and change nobuild radius for locationproxy...

If you need one time action for remove nobuildzone

[floral badge]

Does that stop mods messing with stuff like this?

[floral badge]

I am not good at acronyms sorry, what is ESP and WEC?

[ionic trail]

ESP it's ESP, WEC it's world edit commands

[sleek otter]

it has server enforceable options to allow/disallow doing all the things that are otherwise stopped by being in a dungeon/mystical location/too close to another workbench extrension/creature in the way etc

[sleek otter]

Do you guys think RtD ocean is worth using? I have a swimming mod and the bare ocean is kinda boring. Not sure if theres a large performance impact or not.

[marsh vale]

[empty bobcat]

Does anyone know of a mod that adds rings and necklaces besides JC? I want to use Epicloot.

[static torrent]

Thoughts on adding EpicLoot to RtD modpack?

[worldly garnet]

It seems to be working fine for me. It'll certainly give you lots of configuration options, if that's what you're after.

[worldly garnet]

Let me know if you might be interested in getting the profile code for the profile that's working for me with RtD, Therzie, and epic look mods (plus a bunch of other crap, too). 😄

[static torrent]

Absolutely would love that code right now lol. Still building a modlist for my server as we speak.

[worldly garnet]

I'll DM you.

[quasi elk]

[pliant jasper]

I need a mod to replace Lazy Viking that just adds a GUI to smelters and turns them into storage containers that you can place large quantities of Ores in to smelt.

[ebon nacelle]

Has anyone got Willybach to run at more than 20FPS on bigger builds? How much GPU memory should I get, I m using the medium textures but only have an old 8GB GPU. @me so I see it please

[worldly garnet]

I read his install instructions carefully and followed them closely and now I'm using his 'old' options with Badgers textures as well and I don't have any problem with them at all. My GPU is an older 6GB card. And they look great.

[ebon nacelle]

yeah looks great but I m having trouble mainly in a base on our server with 13k instances

[sleek otter]

every time i tried to use willybs dll i noticed the game was really stuttery, even with good fps it felt awful, so always needed to use badgers dll
but neither of them give a ...care about fixing the fact that their terrain shaders are broken in linux, so i havent used any of it for months; so my above observations may be outdated. i doubt its very different though

[languid lynx]

I don't think they don't care, but it's hard to fix it when you use Windows.
It's the same with mods on Mac, if the shaders are broken then they're broken.
All we can do as mod authors are make sure Unity settings are enable for Linux and Mac and that's it.

[sleek otter]

how does this work?
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/DrummerCraig/ShaderHelperForMac/

[hexed goblet]

Are you using ZenConstruction ? If so there is an option in there to restrict building near certain locations. By default it is just boss alters. However, you may want to double check it just in case it somehow got more locations added to the list.

Otherwise the EffectArea may be built into the location itself. In which case I would check the configs of the mod that added them.

[hexed goblet]

Why ? That’s a lot of work to solve a non problem. Whats the use case ?

[pliant jasper]

People claiming Blacks7ar is a bad mod author and his mods are a mess. Can't seem to find a suitable replacement, and I think it would be cool if there was a better way to smelt than sticking 20 ore in at a time.

[hexed goblet]

Sure, well.. ok. I guess. Up to you. But to me they aren’t containers because you can’t take stuff out once you put it in. Also they are highly validated and only accept certain items.

Holding down the E button for 5s isn’t that much work.

[hexed goblet]

If you just want to easily assign things to it you may want to try ZenUseItem

That prob does what you want if you just want to be able to assign specific ore from your inventory.

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

[pliant jasper]

No, I want to put more than 20 ore into a smelter/batch load more ore to be smelted over time instead of me babysitting the smelter to try and smelt thousands of ingots.

[hexed goblet]

That’s just about increasing the capacity. Tons of mods do that.

[pliant jasper]

Yes, but I want more than 100, which is the current cap on Conversions size and speed

I want to fill a container and let it smelt over time

[hexed goblet]

Ahh , well there are mods that pull from nearby containers too.

[pliant jasper]

The only one that I know of is Lazy Viking

[hexed goblet]

But ya, good luck 👍 no interest to me. Sounds too automated.

[pliant jasper]

Which seems to be a problem author according to many in the community

Do people actually enjoy tedium? It's so weird.

[hexed goblet]

Yes, otherwise what’s the point of the game ? You may be playing the wrong game if you want automation.

[pliant jasper]

Build cool stuff, fight cool enemies. Get stronger.

[hexed goblet]

It’s a collection of minigames and balancing them.

Ya, but without the chores those other tasks have no meaning. The labor is the cost. I find fighting monsters to be incredibly tedious and boring. But it’s part of the game. To get stuff you gotta put time in.

[pliant jasper]

Let me spend 2 hours smelting 20 ore at a time to get anough iron to build a mega build.

[hexed goblet]

Correct. .. and that makes your mega build actually valuable and impressive.

Or just spawn the ore with cheat codes

[pliant jasper]

I would think the time and effort put into actually building it would be more valuable than sitting afk watching ore smelt for 4 hours

[hexed goblet]

Well, most people multi task or run smelters in parallel

Not just sit there lol

[pliant jasper]

Idk, to each their own I guess.

[hexed goblet]

But anyhow, there are tons of mods to cheat. You could just turn up the conversion rate too.

[pliant jasper]

Most people dont understand the way I play games. I find certain game mechanics boring, tedious and unintuitive.

[pliant jasper]

Therein lies the problem. People being elitist and call it cheating.

[hexed goblet]

Congrats! You and sooooo many people

It’s not cheating if it’s solo. But if you do it in a server with others it’s cheating.

[pliant jasper]

If everyone does it is it really cheating?

[hexed goblet]

If everyone agrees. No.

Hence, if everyone on your server ageees it’s not cheating.

[pliant jasper]

Either way, I dont play servers. Not sure why you called it cheating

[hexed goblet]

Who cares what I call it. It’s a cheat. It’s a hack. It’s a whatever. Don’t be pedantic

Change the parameters how you like. Call the term fig squares for all I care. Go modify you fig squares to make the juju faster zonk!

[pliant jasper]

The way I see it, I have a limited amount of time to play video games. Why would I spend any of that time waiting for something to happen so I can get to the part of the game I enjoy.

[hexed goblet]

Ok, that’s nice for you.

Other people enjoy overcoming challenges and that is the enjoyment.

[pliant jasper]

Overcoming challenges is beating a boss in Dark Souls or Elden Ring. Not sitting around waiting for ore to smelt.

[hexed goblet]

Perhaps you would like the console command “spawn iron 1000” ?

[hexed goblet]

It’s a diff kind of challenge. It’s chill challenge of doing more with less

If you just want to build there is also the nocost console command

But it sounds to me like you just want to speed up smelters. So look into that. You can have them spit out 1 ingot per second if you want

[pliant jasper]

I still want to farm the materials, because that can still be a challenge of going there, contending with enemies, and bringing it home. Then you hit a stonewall of putting 20 in at a time and waiting, which I find to be an unengaging form of gameplay.

[hexed goblet]

Well, you could also just speed up time.
Put the ore in then type skiptime 1000

[pliant jasper]

I have conversion rate cranked to the highest, and storage maxed, and it's still to slow.

[hexed goblet]

Skiptime

[hexed goblet]

Also, run more than one smelter. You can easily process 200 at a time with 10 smelters if you really want to run a factory. 🏭

[olive patio]

What mods do server owners use to regen the world nowadays?

@graceful copper working on valheim create mod

[languid lynx]

I started on a Conveyor mod a long time ago so you have that to look forward as well
Btw, if you join my Disc you can play around with it and WaterBender 😄

[cosmic holly]

Hmm, tempting

[languid lynx]

Don't feel forced haha, it's there if you get the itch.

[cosmic holly]

itch gotten

[olive patio]

I was meaning regenerate dungeons, trees, pickable items in a world to allow for new players still having access to resources.

[olive patio]

How many mods are considered too many mods for a Valheim modpack?

[worldly garnet]

You can't go by the number of mods. You have to go by the number of mod authors.

And the number of mod authors would be about 7. Maybe 8 on a dare.

[olive patio]

Because, otherwise you are more likely to get conflicts?

[worldly garnet]

Lets just say the risks start to out weigh the rewards.

[olive patio]

Ok, that changes the entire way I was viewing it. I'll be starting again from scratch lol.

I've got 28 in there right now 😆

[worldly garnet]

Oh, then it's possible I was off by a few...

[olive patio]

The ones that are smaller, one off authors, I'll look to see if one of the other authors have a similar mod.

[graceful copper]

Kind of but I call it bluestone and it's wireless 😄

[worldly garnet]

That makes sense. If you go in with 5 or 6 of the biggest ones first, then you've got room for some of the smaller ones, too.

[graceful copper]

So if someone love trains or rollercosters go check "rune rails" mod on thunderstore. Also it has base of my bluestone system with logic gates. I do plan on expand this mod more and more.

[hexed goblet]

very cool

[blissful halo]

is "Equipment and Quick Slots" mod not on r2modman?

[snow coral]

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/RandyKnapp/EquipmentAndQuickSlots/

marked as deprecated but still there. Though AzuExtendedPlayerInventory works really well

[blissful halo]

thank you so much! do you know any mod that will help me load wood and coal faster into smelters?

[snow coral]

I know they exist but I can’t remember their name

[worldly garnet]

This mod does that, along with some other stuff. Configure it any way you like.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Smoothbrain/ConversionSizeAndSpeed/

[pliant jasper]

Highly recommend Shudnals Extra Slots

[pliant jasper]

Though I havent used Azu's extended inventory in several years. Might check it out since it looks cool from the images

[snow coral]

Either works well; I’ve heard good things about Shudnal but I’m a sucker for Azu’s UI (and the cosmetic tab)

[languid lynx]

There's a new one on the block, which might be worth checking out.

[runic yoke]

Hello, I need some help. I'm trying to teleport my LOX using a mod. Could you tell me how to do it? I downloaded TeleportEverything, but my LOX isn't teleporting. I don't understand. Thanks in advance for your help.

[worldly garnet]

Check the mod's configuration to see that the mod's Ally Mode is turned on there.

And, check your game log (in your BepInEx folder) to see that the mod is loading without any errors.

[runic yoke]

I saw that MOD is enabled: it says true. When I press F1, nothing happens. What should I see when I press that button?

[worldly garnet]

That's because I incorrectly assumed you had a configuration manager mod installed.

Instead just go to the mod's .cfg file in your BepInEx > config folder and edit the config options in there to see that the Ally Mode is turned on there.

[runic yoke]

How can I open the file, please?

[worldly garnet]

It's a simple text file so any text editor should work.

[runic yoke]

i don't found it :/

oh i found it! xD

@hasty smelt What kind of optimization mod are you using?

i make my own. that video is me using FGN, my steamworks patcher and FiresEasyBakeMeshes thats not released yet because its not quite where i want it to be

plus my compression actually works its not just a bit of logging never wired into anything 😉

[steep narwhal]

I cut it out in mine) Anyway, the size of the packages is already small in the game.

[hasty smelt]

in most cases yeah

bit if you actually unlock steam send rates then it matters

Hia there, me and my friend finished working on a mod that let's you pet other players ;3 If anyone's interested grab a link:

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/tojek/PettableVikings/

[languid lynx]

Saw that mod, super cute idea.

Maybe a future update could be to feed and heal other players too

[elder oak]

we tried to avoid going into Taming mechanic of the game to avoid oopsies, but that's a great idea.

As for the future updates, we were thinging about adding a dropdown list of the sounds the Viking makes - now its a boar petting sound or no sound - managed via config. So we're planning to add some more goofy sounds that are already in the game

[cosmic holly]

i love silly goofy mods

[elder oak]

wait till we drop twerk emote 💅

I have a question around boats - I understand that in order to avoid weird collisions, boats somewhat ignore materials in the water, but would the top of the boat be able to “catch” materials? I find building from a boat tricky given if you use iron etc in mistlands which is deep, should you remove something it goes right thru the boat and sinks yet the player stands on top…

[elder oak]

if you're looking for a solution to stuff sinking when you build - I recommend this mod:
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Azumatt/AzuAutoStore/

you can determine the range of the chest "suction" in the config, if you dropped sth deep just place item inside your chest on the shore and increase the radius.

I believe that Build Camera also lets you pick up destroyed objects regardless of your character position when you're in build mode, but I don't remember 100%
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Azumatt/Build_Camera_Custom_Hammers_Edition/

but if you're looking for a mod that stops items from falling through the ship's deck - I'm not sure that it exist

[floral badge]

Interesting, I wonder if that could then be solved by the “auto suction” of the boats storage then 🤔

[languid lynx]

Now I want to add this feature sailing in Windrose has where if you're near pickupables, you press space to auto gather.

[elder oak]

I've spent last 50 hours of the game on shore so I forgot about that... yeah the boat auto store function should work great for that!

[floral badge]

Well thank you for your response because until you said that I wouldn’t have thought of it

[elder oak]

happy to help :3

[floral badge]

Btw does that build camera allow you to move inside rocks etc to make building the back of things easier etc?
I’ve generally made a fun rule that I only build things using scaffolding and my real character but I’m kinda done with that now and looking to spend less time getting to weird and wonderful places and instead try out the camera hammer build system there.

[distant zenith]

Yeah u can scout the inside of rocks to see where you are and what to hit

[floral badge]

Well, that sells it for me, thanks

[hexed goblet]

You can move the camera inside rocks with the freefly console command

[cosmic holly]

@distant zenith moving discussion down here. if you want a more progression based mod, then i can recommend catharis' ascended armory. weapons of each type upgrade for every boss. all the weapons have special effects

lastly, if you dont want to run VC for balance reasons (dont blame you), then valharvest + bon apetite is my new go to for food

gives more crops to farm, new stations, tons of food even in meadows. its better than vanilla, yes, but its also not insane and it feels a good level of difficulty for normal modded playthroughs with other modded things meant for hard/very hard

[static torrent]

Loving the norse demigod mod but the visual effects with 5+ players is way to much. couldn't find a good place in the config to edit any of it

[worldly garnet]

You could check to see if any of the game's graphics settings might help, if you haven't already tried that. 🙏

[worn otter]

Any mods to make raising ground and leveling easy

[ionic trail]

Infinity hammer

[half rose]

Dev-facing note: I’m looking to privately share a small NPC behavior QA evaluation proposal with someone from the Valheim/Iron Gate side.

It’s a narrow before/after evaluation around enemy behavior, with no production integration needed for the first pass.

If anyone from or close to the team is open to sanity-checking whether this is useful, I’m happy to send short details privately.

[mossy blade]

Do you guys remember an Eikthyr bow made with antlers and boss throphies? Modded obviously. I cant find it anywhere like it never existed. Ive taken a wee break but that bow is all i used to use. I cant find it anywhere. Does anyone remember it?

[worldly garnet]

It's probably this one:

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

[cosmic holly]

valheim armory has a suite of eitkhyr weapons, bow included

[cosmic holly]

it is

[mossy blade]

TYSM

[warm sable]

anyone was trying HD valheim mods?

[worldly garnet]

Yes. You can find out who by using the search function in the upper right hand corner of this window. Search for Willybach or Badger or texture.

[timid pebble]

Is anyone working on making it possible to dig caves into mountains?

[worldly garnet]

I don't think so. But there are mods that let you 'enter' basements and custom dungeons, etc.

[timid pebble]

I want to make mazes and the like.

Or mineshafts

[worldly garnet]

You can do that but they won't actually be underground. Just look like they are.

[timid pebble]

I'm trying to figure out making mods, but if anything, at least I'm putting the idea out there.

[worldly garnet]

You should look at the mods that are already out there to give yourself a good starting point with that. Go to thunderstore.io and search mods for 'dungeon' and 'basement' and like that.

[timid pebble]

I already have the Basement mod and Odin (which lets me build in dungeons)

That's about as close as I can get for now.

[worldly garnet]

Or ever, actually. The game isn't disigned in such a way that you'll ever get to actually dig a cave or tunnel in the dirt.

[hexed goblet]

The ground is not a 3D volume that you can cut shapes into. It is a 2D plane with varying heights at the vertexes. Aka a height map. Because it is a plane you can only adjust the heights at diff points in the surface, but you can’t cut a hole in it. If you do you would fall through into the void.

[marsh vale]

@river marlin #mods-screenshots message Why are you building against the upstream BIE5 and not the Valheim specific version? Also your third party notices file has the wrong license listed for BIE5.

[static canopy]

Hi everyone, there's a mod I like - mineshaft, but it's outdated and probably won't be updated. Does anyone here know how to update and create mods? I'm too dumb for coding and can't handle it.

[cosmic holly]

mod manager helps

can update through those

or do you mean change the code of the mods themselves and update the mods themselves rather than the version made by the mod creator?

[elder oak]

as far as i understand they mentioned that the mods they like ain't maintained no more, so not rly a manager solution

[cosmic holly]

yeah then no idea, sorry

well, i have an idea, but i wont suggest it

[marsh vale]

if its "have ai fix it" please dont suggest it. the ai slopification of modding is out of control

[elder oak]

that's probably why they said "I won't suggest it" xdd

[languid lynx]

There's nothing wrong with using AI to fix outdated, broken mods

Or in general for that matter.

[cosmic holly]

yes thats why i didnt say it

even if i dont like it, there are some ai mods that are quite useful, for better or for worse

[worldly garnet]

I seriously doubt that AI is any more slopificationary than some of the human modders. 😛

[sudden reef]

oh it is

[languid lynx]

Exactly, human create absolute garbage and AI is just a tool, an extension of human garbage

[sudden reef]

well, the humans who upload the broken mods are

[marsh vale]

you should go watch the threads on the thunderstore discord for rejected uploads. people are uploading completely non functional non tested slop

[cosmic holly]

favorite is when a mod developer has a huge cache of ai mods for years, and only starts saying they are ai very slowly so as not to draw suspicion

not that anyone would do that of course

[languid lynx]

Okey, and those mods are being rejected so what's the problem?

[elder oak]

the best example for CRUCIALLY useful sloppy mod that has aigenned code is PettableVikings

[marsh vale]

the problem is it drains resources reviewing them

[cosmic holly]

personally i like the chest search mod. means i dont have to organize anything and can just hoard hoard hoard

[cosmic holly]

color me shocked that humans using ai are being greedy lmao

[languid lynx]

Well, start accepting it because AI is not going anywhere.

And people will not stop uploading broken shit, re-uploads, stealing or whatever humans do

[marsh vale]

They can only subsidize the costs for so long before increasing prices more.

[languid lynx]

I didn't mention price

[elder oak]

we're talking about f2p mods for valheim no?

[marsh vale]

I mean AI token cost to use AI

[languid lynx]

Okey, that should be good though with your logic since that will make "poor" people not be able to afford it?

It's great that AI has gotten so incredibly accessible, just like each tech, history repeats itself.
People cried about each time a new tech came out and replaced "jobs".

AI is the current scapegoat but it will pass.

[river marlin]

Thanks I’ll get that sorted, I didnt realise there was a Valheim specific one tbh. I’ll take a look at that too.

[sudden reef]

if the humans would use AI to create good mods and not slop, we wouldn't have this debate right now. But the current status quo is, that the vast majority of AI mods has very poor quality. To the point where it's creating more work for modders and players alike

[languid lynx]

Humans have never and will never stop producing slop so this argument is moot.

AI made everyone be able to produce whatever they desire and that's something that just have to be accepted now.

[oak halo]

But the slop production rate has increased drastically with AI

[languid lynx]

Well yes, that is obvious why

Just like how photoshop came and made everyone able to produce slop in seconds compared to painting.

[marsh vale]

And its not just game mods. The FlatHub app repo for linux has been so flooded with AI slop submissions that the majority of new app requests are closed for AI Slop and they have to ban agents that keep making new submissions

[worldly garnet]

When we see AI coming in here and making sloppy posts about why human modders suck, then we should start to worry.

[elder oak]

it's mostly people taking shortcuts issue more than ai issue

[languid lynx]

Taking shortcuts? If you don't know how to code, using AI is not taking a shortcut.
Unless you expect people to learn how to code to make a funny mod with friends.

Some of the new AI mods have been fantastic, creative and unique.
Compared to the usual QoL shit that gets pushed on us.
I would rather have unique and fun AI mods than QoL 999

[elder oak]

yeah but it took loads of iteration, getting the basic grasp of the topic, but for some it's "produce the product" - then immediately submit it

[languid lynx]

That will never change

Some people don't give a shit.

[elder oak]

my take about shortcuts still stands tho, but I understand and agree with your position

[languid lynx]

Why would you not take a shortcut if it exist?
Work smarter, not harder.

[elder oak]

so you can learn along the way?

[languid lynx]

What if the person has no interest in learning how to code?

[marsh vale]

uploading a completely non functional and non tested mod is not a "shortcut"

[last radish]

runtime errors be like

[cosmic holly]

Maybe people should learn how modding works before claiming they are a modder. Submitting non functional slop is just such a failure that ai let propagate. Wish there were some restrictions on this ai stuff, even if it can make good stuff

[languid lynx]

There's already restrictions, its called manual review and rejection.
They have a filter that triggers on suspicious stuff.

[sudden reef]

please, do go and test new mods for a few weeks and report any broken ones to me. I mean this sincerely, maybe then you understand what we mean. I'm all for making modding more accessible, but the current level of slop is ridiculous

[cosmic holly]

Personally i mostly care about the results, and finding ai mods i like is difficult for sure

[languid lynx]

Nah, that's not my job, that's on you and the platform you're admin for.
You pushed for this shit, now you deal with it

[cosmic holly]

And im scared to think about how many get rejected

I guess my stance is ai in a vacuum can be somewhat good, but we dont live in a vacuum so its 99% bad

[languid lynx]

Only people who's not properly used AI think it's bad or the scapegoat that it drinks water and takes job.

[marsh vale]

And that right there is how platforms shutdown and you end up with nothing but a completely unmoderated mess.

[languid lynx]

Its a community effort.
People report broken mods, they get rejected.

[cosmic holly]

Im specifically talking abput modding with ai. Other uses i condone heavily

[languid lynx]

What other uses?

[marsh vale]

"community" this community is so toxic it drove me away from playing a game single player

[cosmic holly]

Why does it matter? This is mod dicussion channel not ai discussion

[sudden reef]

... I pushed for broken mods? I'm not talking about labelling AI but to reject ones that are outright broken

[cosmic holly]

I feel ya there

[languid lynx]

No, but you pushed for the AI tag, now you can start cleaning it up.

[cosmic holly]

🤨

[sudden reef]

I'm at a loss

[cosmic holly]

Lost cause lol

[languid lynx]

Valheims community is so toxic it drove you away?
Valheims "toxicity" is nothing compared to other games.

[oak halo]

Maybe you should stop reviewing AI mods (aside from security concerns) and just let the mods in that category exist as they are. That could raise awareness about the average quality of these mods

[cosmic holly]

Genius

[sudden reef]

fair enough :P

[languid lynx]

I mean, I 100% agree.

Let the community do the rating.

[cosmic holly]

I think in total i have found maybe 3 ai mods i like in all of them. So many bad ones

[languid lynx]

Yeah but that's the thing, its allowed to exist even if you don't like them.
The only requirement should ever be that it runs.

[sudden reef]

ummm, yeah that's the problem. The ones we have to filter out DON'T run

[languid lynx]

Okey, remove them then like you guys have been doing?
Do you think this is going to stop anytime soon?

[cosmic holly]

pretends to be shocked

[cosmic holly]

Probably will get worse unless ai becomes less accessible

[languid lynx]

Do something about it, push for new features that helps moderation.
But knowing TS it will take a few decades for the simplest of feature.

Why would AI become less accessible?

[cosmic holly]

I said if

Hmm i didnt. I meant if

[marsh vale]

well its already being subsidized to a tenth of its actual cost

[oak halo]

Because it's currently way too cheap, prices will increase

[cosmic holly]

I dont think it will happen

At least not short term

Long term costs will defo go up and ais will be shut down

Currently too many for too few users

[languid lynx]

Many services that ran on credits now uses quota system.
Despite this, you can make mods in a few prompts.

So I doubt AI cost rising will do anything.

[cosmic holly]

I dont need an ai youtube summary of the video im about to watch. I have more than room temp iq and i can just watch the video

I also dont need an ai summary of my email. Waste of time, resources, and space

[languid lynx]

Well, then you're not the demographic 😛

[cosmic holly]

Yeah i know its meant for people without s functioning frontal lobe who cant do critical thinking. I proudly dont use ai for my college assignments unless the assignment calls for it. Id rather do the thinking myself

Obviously for something as complicated as modding, i can give that an exception. But writing a paper? Bruh

[languid lynx]

I was thinking the other day that I'm thankful that I'm not young and in school.
It must be pure hell for teachers in this age.

[cosmic holly]

Omg its so bad

Every college class i take has an ai policy. Every group project i do, someone always wants to do it with ai

[floral badge]

For what it’s worth, I know a whole swag of people with learning / functioning difficulties for which AI helps quite a bit with their struggles just to exist for another day. But I’m not wading into the chat, just driving by.

[worldly garnet]

Not to worry. You didn't miss much. Turns out AI is very good for some things and really terrible for other things. Kind of like an ex girl friend.

[marsh vale]

I too have multiple of those difficulties but I'm not touching AI as a "disability tool"

[marsh vale]

You got lucky, my ex wasnt good for anything.

[languid lynx]

That's great to hear it helps them in various ways!

[hexed goblet]

it's not A.I. yet. It's just Al, the sorta helpful robot sometimes. true A.I. is years away.

there isn't really intellect yet. Just statistics and really good guessing and pattern matching.

every time i see AI just see the word Al as in Al Bundy.

https://tenor.com/view/intergalactic-al-bundy-intergalactic-quality-thumbs-up-al-bundy-intergalactic-gif-24902423

Al, your helpful assistant

[ionic trail]

Not all community, maybe some peoples:)

[timid gate]

Yes. It is very ,much like the google search bar, But you can add a lot of material to guide the search, and have a rolling conversation, not just one failed search after another while you try to sort out how to even ask the questions...

[sweet creek]

Any modders around? Just wondering if someone can point me to any good guides or resources for getting set up

Also is thunderstore the only way to go? Prefer nexus but seems like theres not nearly as much there

[worldly garnet]

Go to thunderstore and d/l the r2modman mod manager. Learn how it works and get familiar with it.

Most mods and mod authors do seem to be on thunderstore and nexus is problematic for some mod related things.

[sweet creek]

Ill have a look I guess, just never used it

Outta curiousity though why do you say Nexus is problematic?

[marsh vale]

both have their issues but the valheim modding community is almost exclusively on thunderstore. some authors post to both. very few only post to nexus. and the valheim specific mod loader is only available from thunderstore so vortex/etc wont install the proper version

[sweet creek]

Oh vortex is 💩

That ive been aware of since its release

[languid lynx]

Hopefully we get modding support with 1.0 so we can go to Steam Workshop or mod.io.
Then we can dump Nexus and Thunderstore forever as both sucks.

Nexus for their non Valheim support, woke, censorship.
Thunderstore for their questionable decision lately and literally taking decade to add features.

Any recommendations on a nice farming mod just for neat rows in farming? I dont need a skill with it, as vanilla has its own farming skill now

hey, quick question. What is the mod called, with which i can plant bushes with? And where can i download it?

[worldly garnet]

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

[strong hawk]

tyyy

[signal spindle]

hey, i was wondering if there are any race mods in valheim, who allow you to start as different types of characters, like elfs, dwarfs, orc etc. thanks for answear

[worldly garnet]

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

[signal spindle]

i cant open the transformation menu.....

[languid lynx]

Needs debug mode enabled by default.

[south kelp]

Thunderstore for their questionable decision lately
Which decision was questionable and why?

Fwiw Workshop isn't particularly great with code mods (last I recall) because mods auto-update when subscribed. You have no real protection or control over someone pushing a dangerous mod.
Most mods on workshop that involve code are generally sandboxed and so are okay. This isn't really the case with BepInEx and DLLs

[hexed goblet]

lol, i read the first part of your sentence and immediately thought you were asking about a Mario Kart valheim racing mod.

[languid lynx]

Eh, I just don't like the direction they're going, reminds me of Nexus...
Yeah, but if we get official support they will obviously not use Thunderstore but Workshop OR mod.io

[hexed goblet]

what direction is that? i haven't had any issues with thunderstore. they seem to be handling stuff well. What are you experiencing ? what would you do differently?

[south kelp]

Again, which decision(s)?
It doesn't really feel based on anything?

[sudden reef]

well well https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Jules/SuperVikingKart/

[hexed goblet]

lol 🙂

[signal spindle]

how do i do that? i enabled debug mode, but not by default

[worldly garnet]

The debugmode F5 command toggles debug mode on and off. See if that works for you.

Or, if you are using the ServerDevcommands mod, you can set debugmode to be enabled automatically with an option setting in that mod's .cfg file.

[signal spindle]

still nothing...

[signal spindle]

works now

reinstalled

[worldly garnet]

Oh, ok. great!

[slate zodiac]

Is there a mod that lets you use crafting benches by interacting with their extensions? ex. accessing the forge by interacting with the anvil?

[hexed goblet]

why would you need to do this?

[sleek otter]

The sado-massochism level on this modder are over 9000!

CantTouchThis lets you ban specific items and everything derived from them. The mod will trace the entire crafting chain, so banning honey means no mead, no honey-based recipes, and no buildings that require honey.

Forces you to only consume honey and honey based things.

Colonel Sanders identified

Mount your cart and let your friends pull you around.

[hexed goblet]

also seems pointless, if you ban honey then you can't make anything derived from honey anyhow

unless it's meant to be applied to an existing world

[sleek otter]

display your characters death count in the UI
they are really into suffering

[oak halo]

I like the idea, would allow you ro spread out the access points for crafting stations over your base, especially when combined with a mod that increases the max distance extensions can have from their crafting station.

[hexed goblet]

ahh, i see

would require a small bit of extra work to add Interactable components to them, but not too hard.

sure, i could see the appeal

to make it look nice it would need to use the correct animation state when the player interacts with a station.

[near coyote]

I heard there is an addon thaat creates valheim an unique aventura with 1k hours, where can I get more info?

[sweet horizon]

Hey all, I'm looking for a good immersive mod set up for valheim
Nothing game breaking like Auto sorting but maybe extra inventory space would be cool different enemies seasons different weapons things like that, A compass at the top of the screen.
Anyone have a good mod profile I can use?

[cosmic holly]

Look into azu extended player inventory, extra slots, zen sign, azu container sizes, outsiders, seasons, seasonality, warfare, valheimarmory, zencompass,

@hexed goblet zencompass adds a compass yeah? Or am i misremembering

Thought it added compass ui

[sweet horizon]

RtDMonstrum (by Soloredis): A massive, highly popular fantasy-themed monster expansion. It populates every single biome up to the Mistlands with completely custom monsters and unique boss encounters. The drops from these monsters seamlessly integrate into custom crafting recipes if you pair it with other mods in the "Return to Darkness" (RtD) series.

InventorySlots / Equipment and Quick Slots: Gives your armor, capes, and utility items their own dedicated slots outside your main inventory grid, and adds a few customizable hotkey slots.

SouthsilArmor: Adds over 30 entirely new, beautifully textured armor sets spread evenly across all biomes. It’s perfect if you are tired of wearing the exact same iron or silver set as every other Viking on your server.

ValheimArmory: A great choice if you just want a more diverse selection of weapon types (like greatswords, battleaxes, or throwing weapons) to support different playstyles at every progression level without breaking the core feel of the game.

Seasonality: Gives the entire world a true, dynamic 4-season cycle (complete with changing foliage, winter snowfalls, and spring thaws) that alters environmental behaviors over time.

-----JUST A THOUGHT SECTION-----

(MAYBE)Jewelcrafting (by Smoothbrain): Instead of random Diablo-style loot drops, this adds a socket system to Valheim. Monsters and mining veins drop raw, uncut gemstones. You have to mine copper and iron to build a Gemcutter's table, cut the jewels, and manually craft sockets into your regular armor and weapons. It feels incredibly native to Valheim's core loop.

(MAYBE)Creature Level and Loot Control: Allows enemies to scale up past 2 stars, gives them unique elemental infusions (like an un-freezable fire wolf), and customizes world-space threat levels.

(MAYBE)Digitalroots Slope Combat Assistance: Fixes the frustrating vanilla issue where swinging weapons on a hill completely misses an enemy standing directly above or below you.

(MAYBE)Better Archery: Completely redesigns the mechanics of bows. Adds proper arrows physics, a dedicated quiver, and allows you to reclaim spent arrows from enemy corpses.

(MAYBE)Epic Loot (by RandyKnapp): Adds the enchanting table, randomized magical bonuses, and bounty hunts.

(MAYBE)RtDOcean: Specifically overhauls the Ocean biome, which can feel a bit empty in vanilla. It populates the deep waters with new aggressive marine predators, friendly sea life, underwater exploration content, and a fully scripted custom Ocean boss encounter.

This is what I was thinking so far

[cosmic holly]

I can also recommend bow plugin, southsil armor, and dragoon capes

Running all the rtd mods will totally change the game if thats what you want

My preffered extra mobs mod is outsiders. The enemies are fully configurable and drop rare vanilla resources to make them easier to farm

Like theres an enemy that drops red jute and respawns

[hexed goblet]

Yes ZenCompass adds a compass. It’d be a weird name if it didn’t.

[sweet horizon]

Can you dm me these?

[sweet horizon]

This too please

[cosmic holly]

Dm the code? Not atm, later if you remind me

[copper monolith]

Hi, im looking to start a new modded playthrough while staying quite close to vanilla with small improvements. Im thinking torches/fuel eternal (is there a more recent mod for this?). What other mods can you recommend for this type of experience?

[ionic trail]

Add locations packs, from me or warp.

[tranquil owl]

anyone know how to fix the "missing decal/detail so its replaced with black and pink colors" issue?

[ionic trail]

Try use Vulcan instead DX when start game

Or don't use broken mods

[tranquil owl]

thanks its on someones public server with mods

shit. vulkan is forced in steam console it looks like already

[ionic trail]

Hm, can't use DX?

[tranquil owl]

i can i actually only tried vulkan because of fps spikes to see if it would help

i turned off vulcan see if it does anything

[slate zodiac]

For fun! To marry realistic function and aesthetics. It makes sense thematic sense for some extensions like the Anvil and the Butcher's table to be "used" direcly. Even if all the Anvil did was repair, it would be cool. And there are some build situations where it makes sense to place the anvil in a place that's easily accessible. But if it's purely decorative, then it tends to just get in the way.

It would also be really cool if you could convert certain hides to leather strips, at the crafting table, after you've built the tanning rack extension.

[sweet horizon]

Are you able to dm me those

[cosmic holly]

give me a sec

[sweet creek]

Anyone got recommendations for mods or some best of lists out there? I saw planbuild that looked interesting and was wondering if theres anything that adds lots of QOL features like better terain flattening. Or even any mods for new placeable items

[worldly garnet]

You can do some searches here for the things that interest you. Watch for how many downloads the mods have and how recently they've been updated:

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

[hexed goblet]

I make tons of QoL mods with the focus on balancing vanilla and polishing the rough edges, not automating everything.

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

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

[hexed goblet]

check out ZENHEIM, it's a modpack i make specifically for this case. It's Vanilla but polished and balanced with a few extra rule twists. Not automated, not autopilot. Core mechanics intact or enhanced. Link in the post above this one.

[sweet horizon]

I think it's in my list already

Oof

That one isn't but 4 others are

Let me test what I have first

[hexed goblet]

It’s balanced out of the box and works with gamepad.

[sweet horizon]

I'm doing my school work rn so it's gonna be a min

[worldly garnet]

And also one of the best things about ZenDragon's mods is that he hangs around in here a lot like only 4 or 5 other mod authors. And he's very responsive to any questions, suggestions or issues with his mods. Never underestimate that. 😄

[kind pumice]

There's a lot more than 4 or 5 others but many are quiet

[worldly garnet]

Really? Well thats good to know. And then you'll no doubt get a lot of emojis attached to your post over the next few days.

[devout gazelle]

Woah, that's some emojis right there.

[worldly garnet]

Yeah, you really screwed that up didn't ya. Congrats on being so helpful.

[devout gazelle]

I'm always happy to help.

Especially if it involves emojis.

I downloaded the sketafuls adventurepack but a mod in it is incompatible with the RTD dungeon mod I had

[languid lynx]

Can you link the adventurepack?

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Sketaful/Sketafuls_Adventurepack/

[sweet horizon]

I downloaded the No arbitrary incompatibility flag mod that says it fixes that issue

[languid lynx]

I was going to link that yeah

[sweet horizon]

I'm going to try it now

[sweet horizon]

Okay, I'm definitely doing something wrong here

[languid lynx]

How come?

[sweet horizon]

Imma post the pics in #mods-screenshots

[languid lynx]

Ah, that just means they're not installed on the server.

[sweet horizon]

How do I do that

[languid lynx]

How do you run your server?

[sweet horizon]

How do I install them to the server

I have them in r2modman

I've run my server before, my friends and I play on it all the time

I'm trying to mod it now and that's where I'm having my issues

[worldly garnet]

That sounds familiar to me. What I do is use rs2modman to keep the server's profile up to date, etc. But then I don't use r2modman to start the server.

Instead I've had to copy the BepInEx pack and all it's mods and configs from the r2modman profile folder to the server manually. It's a bit of a chore but you don't have to do it very often, unless the game or server get updated.

[sweet horizon]

I have to host my server on one computer while I play on the other

[worldly garnet]

Yeah, me too. I use NoMachine for remote control of the server PC. The consumer version is free and has worked well for me for years.

[sweet horizon]

Can I dm you

[worldly garnet]

Sure.

[sinful field]

Any dedicated server people who understand mods able to help me understand how to make a few changes to world settings/admin console?

[gaunt geyser]

You'll typically get more useful responses if you ask the question. Worst case people tell you a better spot to ask

[sinful field]

thank ya kindly

Long story short, I have a dedicated community server, I have a few mods, I put my steam64ID in the admin list, and I can't access admin. I can't open console, I can't override death penalties, and i can't figure out where to configure mods. Basically I'm a noob and I'm askin for an assist. I reached out to the server provider and they're giving me the basic "read our FAQ."

they also said using Bepin will basically negate admin console

[worldly garnet]

You and the server need to be using the ServerDevcommands mod. And you need to have put your ID in the adminlist carefully. Only one ID per line no extra characters, etc.

The simplest and easiest way to load, use, and manage your game mods is by using thunderstore.io r2modman app..

[sinful field]

Oh there's a specific mod in order to access console. Nice! Okay I'll give that a run and see if I can make my adjustments. Thank you!

[oblique latch]

hello guys, i am pretty new to modded valheim and am struggling . Currently have CLLC and EpicLoot but i dont know how to edit them at all 🥲 ...

[nova orbit]

Do you mean you can't find the config files, or you need suggestion about the config settings?
If the bepinex and mods are properly installed they should generate config files inside BepInEx/config folder.
If you're looking for configs that make sense to use as examples JewelHeim-RelicHeim-5.6.6 is a great one. You can download the configs only, even if you don't need the whole modpack.

[iron acorn]

Does the discovery radius enchant from epic loot affect how far the wisp clears mists?

[gaunt geyser]

No there is a separate enchant for that

[iron acorn]

@gaunt geyser roger thanks

@sly cedar In SLS, is ther a reason I have Ashlands mobs spawning in the Plains? Up to 12 stars

[gaunt geyser]

Are you getting raids? or minibosses? The last update added a Nemesis system which can spawn strong enemies like that. But that could just as easily be a raid 🤷

[cosmic holly]

the log spam when the circular rings on minimap is displayed is annoying

[iron acorn]

It wasn't a raid with a red circle on the map. They were small groups of Mistlands seekers and Ashlands charr warriors

[gaunt geyser]

Yeah thats an issue with Jotunn, I have been meaning to make a PR to fix that.

[gaunt geyser]

Have you beaten all of the mini bosses? have you beaten fader? were you killing lots of things?

Its kind of hard to tell why without a good bit of information- if you join the discord for SLS I can take a look at the details. Typically need a log file

[iron acorn]

Just searching Plains for Yagluth. We were killing a lot of Fuling

[gaunt geyser]

Yeah I would need more information, it does sound like you shouldn't get any charred spawns though

[gaunt geyser]

If you disable the nemesis system I would be interested if that stops the Charred spawns etc- but again, I would be more interested in more details than that.

[sacred folio]

In my Bepinex file, there is no folder named "plugins folder".

[hexed goblet]

your BepInEx folder will have a subfolder called plugins, if it does not then wipe your installation, don't ever use Vortex to install BepInEx, download BepInEx from thunderstore and use that instead. Preferably with the Gale or R2modman mod manager. Vortex does not work with Valheim.

[sweet horizon]

Anyone on windows know how to mod a dedicated server?

[languid lynx]

The same way you install mods on your client.

[sacred folio]

I downloaded BepInex from the Thunderstore and installed it using the mod manager.

[hexed goblet]

ahh, ok, then perhaps i misunderstood, what is the issue ?

[sacred folio]

The problem is that there is no plugins folder in the BepInex folder.

[sweet horizon]

Okay, I'll give it another go

[worldly garnet]

r2modman puts BepInEx in each of your 'profile' folders. The actual game folder outside of r2modman doesn't get the BepInEx that you install with the mod manager.

You can also get a BepInEx folder in your game folder when one of your mods puts it in there for it's own use like PlanBuild does to store it's blueprint files. When that happens there's no plugins folder there.

Look for it in your r2modman profile folder instead.

[sacred folio]

okay

[sweet horizon]

Which BepInExpack do I need? The one from r2modman or thunderstore?

[languid lynx]

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/denikson/BepInExPack_Valheim/

[sweet horizon]

Okay, I believe that's the same one on r2modman

@languid lynx are you available to vc???

[languid lynx]

Uh, why?

[sweet horizon]

So I can ask you questions and explain what I have done so far instead of typing it all out

I'm running a dedicated server on one computer and playing the game on another computer I have r2 modman downloaded on both computers both are using the same mod profile but whenever I start up the dedicated server none of the mods are loading it looks like but when I start the game up on my gaming computer it runs through the mods list

[languid lynx]

Did you make sure to actually pick server in r2modman?

[sweet horizon]

Yes

Wait for which computer

Gaming or hosting?

[languid lynx]

Hosting

[sweet horizon]

Okay, yes hosting is set to server

[dusty spade]

Anyone know what mods work right now that "make floors roofs"?

[languid lynx]

Your error basically means that BepInEx is not running on your server or there's no mods installed.
Can you verify that your server actually runs and if so that BepInEx is loaded?

[dusty spade]

Or remove water damage to floors

[sweet horizon]

My server does run normal non modded, I've been running it for a few weeks now

I'm not sure how to check if BepInEx is loaded

I only downloaded it through r2modman

Not the actual thunderstore site

I can show you how I run it if that helps

[languid lynx]

The easiest way is to see if it generates a LogOutput.log, if not then it's not running

[sweet horizon]

Where would I find that at?

[languid lynx]

But wait.... Did you even download Valheim Server from Steam?

[sweet horizon]

That's what I use the dedicated server from

#mods-screenshots check here for how I start my server (non modded)

[languid lynx]

Ah, so you launch it from the folder but then launch it from r2modman.
If you want to use r2modman, you need to launch it from there!

So, if you want to use r2modman for both client and server, it has to be launched from r2modman.

[sweet horizon]

I don't launch anything non modded from r2modman

It's all steam

[languid lynx]

Yes and this is the problem.
If you used r2modman to download mods to your server, it has to be launched via r2modman.

[sweet horizon]

This is where I'm getting stuck, something isn't reading

I'll show you

[languid lynx]

If you want to continue manually launching your server, you can install the mods manually!
Then you simply keep using r2modman for your client!

[dusty spade]

Does r2modman send (sync) mod setups to a server or something?

[languid lynx]

Yep, that's the issue.
You're launching 2 servers right now.

ONLY launch it via r2modman if you want to use r2modman as your modmanager for your server

[languid lynx]

Nah.

[dusty spade]

Imagine that's a problem then unless they are just client mods

[sweet horizon]

I only launched it once?

The initial non modded launch is a video I took last night

[languid lynx]

So you're NOT launching your server via the folder and then via r2modman?

[sweet horizon]

No

I only launch it through the folder when I'm playing unmodded

[languid lynx]

From what I saw in the video, when you launched modded, it did actually run BepInEx.

[sweet horizon]

That's what I don't understand

When I launch it on my gaming computer it shows the mods in the start up black screen

But not on the server computer

Im using r2modman for both

[languid lynx]

Okey so it loads BepInEx and the patcher but NONE of the mods

Hmm, what if if you make a fresh profile, select Valheim Dedicated Server and download BepInEx and a random mod?

[sweet horizon]

That was gonna be my next experiment but if the mods aren't even showing up in the start up will it even work

[languid lynx]

Only one way to find out

[sweet horizon]

I'm sending another clip, you can see the mods loading up on my gaming computer

But when I try to load in it cuts to that error

[languid lynx]

Yeah, because the mods are required on the server too but those aren't loading for some reason.

[sweet horizon]

That's what I can't figure out

[languid lynx]

Well, make a new profile and test!

[sweet horizon]

I'm doing it rn lol

I don't think it loaded the mods

[languid lynx]

Well... The only other suggestion I have then is manual install 🙁

And use r2modman for unmodded 😅

[sweet horizon]

Uhm, it loaded me into the server

I'm checking to see if the mod is active

The mods didn't show up

[dusty spade]

Really wish Thunderstore app let you exclude mods past a specific update time (ie 6 months old)

[unique pebble]

What website or downloader do you use to get mods. Is thunderstorm the best?

[marsh vale]

@sweet horizon r2modman doesnt properly support running the dedicated server with mods afaik. If you are on windows open start_headless_server.bat and add %* to the end of the line starting the server.

Linux is just broken and I have no motivation to fix it currently

[marsh vale]

Yes

[sweet horizon]

Oof

[marsh vale]

On windows its because the original start_headless_server.bat needs to have %* at the end of the command to work with how r2mm passes additional arguments. On linux its a bigger messy issue. On mac idk, has anyone actually ran the dedicated server with mods on mac?

[worldly garnet]

Does the Gale mod manager on a Linux host let you create a profile for a server with mods and then start it from inside the Gale app?

[marsh vale]

it doesnt matter if it does. the server script in bepinexpack_valheim doesnt support being launched from a mod manager that keeps the mods out of the game directory, like the game script supports

[sleek otter]

@sweet horizon
ive written pretty much an entire modmanger in bash functions, but the parts to push files to the serer is something i havent thought worth the time to do, so far.
assuming you arent using some nerfed fileexplorer where you cant make bookmarks or access network devices: just make a bookmark to the local profiles bep dir, and another to the server - then just drag the files into the folder
Dolphin supports fish protocol, and the remote headless server supports it, so fish://user@server is what i use.
Look up how to make a connection in your file explorer first, idk if other managers support that kind of thing, seems like they would though.
...or scripting it with something like rsync would be pretty simple, but less extensible without a bunch of extra scripting.

[worldly garnet]

OIC, so the sever script you're talking about is the start_server_bepinex.sh then? Or some other internal script.

[marsh vale]

yes the start_server_bepinex.sh script

[marsh vale]

TIL about the fish:// protocol. Everything I commonly connect to works with sftp://

[hexed goblet]

why? that would filter out a lot of perfectly functional mods. some mods work fine and haven't been updated in years.

[dusty spade]

Because it's easier for me to get an idea of popular/recently updated

[hexed goblet]

there is a button for that

[dusty spade]

Listed by popular but updated recent

[hexed goblet]

big bar at the top of the screen, default is "Last Updated"

[dusty spade]

That gives you last updated.

[hexed goblet]

yes, that's recently updated

[dusty spade]

You get one or the other

Not both at the same time, at least not with any functionality of a filter I'm seeing

[hexed goblet]

i guess i'm not clear what exactly you are trying to see ?

most popular and recently updated?

[dusty spade]

Sorted by most popular but also updated recently (within x time). Instead of just one or the other. Most downloads can contain basically anything within Bog Witch update (I usually use that I was just saying it'd be nice to have a bit more control over the time frame)

[hexed goblet]

ahh

you could ask this in the thunderstore discord chat

[languid lynx]

If you're lucky they might implement it in about 20 years.

[worldly garnet]

Do you need to wait for them to do it? Couldn't you just write a bash or python script to do that? Someone should look into that.

[sleek otter]

yeah, been using it forever, i did have sftp bookmarks in my sidebar for a while but they were mostly for external ftp access... i dont recall why i chose fish for local, almost certainly for some functionality reason... or just becasue i try to use ssh related protocols for everything for "simplicity"...

[marsh vale]

sounds like fish:// will have better compatiblity according to the wiki page for it. since it doesnt need the sftp sub server enabled on the target system. but I would guess that its slightly slower

[sleek otter]

i have a feeling this is me related to asking @sudden reef if there was a way i could get all mods and their publish dates...as a chunk of data... specifically so i could auto-exclude new releases for the few weeks im stll running games but dont want to participate in the usual "oh the mod broke, now we have to report it and get it fixed while everyone stops playing for a week/fortnight/month" shenannigans.
(the answer was youd need to download the entire mod database and parse that..iirc)
i got the impression that the preview screenshot they dropped in a channel i dont recall re: adding publish dates to the TS version pages was work being done in that same direction... but youd need to ask them.

[sleek otter]

maybe yeah, not sure. My ftp targets were all slow asf anyway, so couldnt compare.
It is a bit slow when transferring to LAN target, but not too bad for ~ a gig transfer. (typical fat buildpiece modset)
it also leaves a little python poop on the target that i have to be careful not to delete each time i see it being all poopy looking there

[sleek otter]

yeah, looking at it just now; its not awful
#mods-screenshots message

[sweet horizon]

I took the BepInEx file and copy the over to my steam dedicated server file and pasted it in there and I started my dedicated server up normally it read the mods and then when I went to load up the game through the mod manager on a separate computer I got to the connecting part where I type in the password and then it just went to a black screen after I hit enter but I could still use the pause menu for the game

[sleek otter]

locate <whatever>/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Valheim/BepInEx/LogOutput.log on both machines and drop them both into the channel... you may need to copy the dedicateds file to your desktop first
if you cant find one of them it means bepinex isnt working
...but blackscreen on connect sounds like somehting else, so i'm not sure
always post your logs

the path to that file will possibly differ on the server, idk

[sweet horizon]

Post the logs in this channel???

I looked it up and the black screen is I guess a desync issue or it's not like registering on the other PC that the mods are installed I guess or it could just be the world as generating and it was taking some time to load it and I just got inpatient

[sage terrace]

Hey everyone. I’m using the ItemDrawers mod by KGvalheim and everything works fine except for cooked foods (Honey Pork, Sausages, etc.). I can’t place them into the drawer because the game says: “You can’t eat any more Honey Pork.”

I already tested with only this mod installed, and I also tried ModFix, but nothing solved it.

Has anyone found a fix or workaround for this?

[brave rivet]

is there a mod to change the portal overlay? i couldnt find one

[river plover]

are there any mods that allow for global drop clearing / removal of ZDOs?

[sweet horizon]

i honestly dont understand what youre saying

[worldly garnet]

What do you mean by portal overlay?

[worldly garnet]

I thought they cleared them selves. There's a devcommand you can use to clear an area manually, if that helps.

[golden temple]

Is there a mod for manual drop rate changes?

[worldly garnet]

I like this one for that:
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/TastyChickenLegs/DropMoreLoot/

[golden temple]

thanks

[brave rivet]

you know the spinning picture

[worldly garnet]

Have a look at Portal Plane by Cookie Milk. I completely changes how portals look, possibly too much. But have a look it's rad.

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

And there's also this one that just changes the color.
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/ComfyMods/ColorfulPortals/

If you want somethng you can just customize, you can have a look at Expand Prefabs mod where you can 'edit' things. There's a steep learning curve with that one, though. Kind of like climbing the north side of Mt. Shasta in your underwear and beach sandals. The result may not be worth the effort.

[languid lynx]

With PortalPlane you can change it for images or even videos to play during teleport.

[brave rivet]

thank you

although i think at some point there used to be a mod to just change the picture to a better one

[worldly garnet]

There's one that changes it to stone but the actual lighting effect is the same. And it's 2 years old so dunno...
