While Valheim’s developer Iron Gate Studio has stated in their FAQ that they won’t be offering “official support” for mods, modders have never been one to play by the rules.
There are already several mods available for the game, and the biggest one seems to be Valheim Plus. This mod makes a lot of changes to the base game, affecting everything from item weight values to the speed and output of kilns, furnaces and fermenters. Players can also increase item stack sizes, carry ores through portals and also speed up production rates of their bees.
Some of the most notable changes the mod brings to the game are advanced building and editing mode. This allows you to place items and building pieces with almost surgical precision, altering the height, rotation, and even the angle of the items. The advanced editing mode makes repositioning placed items much easier. Instead of having to destroy the item, players can now simply click on it and edit its placement.
Another impressive feature of this map is the shared map system. With this feature, co-op players can collectively benefit from individual findings and progress made on their maps. This will, however, require you to be online to see the progress reflected on each other’s maps. This will make coordinating easier as you’ll know which areas you’ve been to and which ones still need to be explored.
Here is the full list of features Valheim Plus brings to the table:
- Modify Player weight values (base and Megingjord)
- Modify Food Duration
- Modify Fermenter Speed & Output size
- Modify Furnace maximum coal/ore inside and speed, coal usage
- Modify Kiln production speed and maximum amount of wood inside
- Remove Item teleport prevention from ores
- Reduce Item weight of all items by %
- Increase Item Stack sizes
- Remove Building “Invalid Placement” restriction
- Remove Building Object deterioration by the weather.
- Modify Beehive production speed & maximum honey capacity
- Remove Password requirement for server
- Modify maximum Players on a server
- Shared Map System with a setting that respects player map visibility settings
- Hotkey options for forwards and backwards roll.
- Advanced Building Mode
- Advanced Editing Mode
- Stamina usage configuration
- Option to remove screen shake
You can find out how to install the mod and use its various features from the mods page on Nexus Mods.
It should be noted that Valheim has been out only for a couple of weeks, has no official mod support and is still in Early Access. There’s no saying how mods will react with the game as it receives constant updates, fixes and changes. So, don’t be surprised if the mod doesn’t work after a while, but we’re sure the modding community will get it back on track without much problem either.
