Valheim Plus at Valheim Nexus

ValheimPlus
A HarmonyX Mod aimed at improving the gameplay quality of Valheim. The mod includes several different main features that allow users to modify the stats of players, buildings and entities. V+ also offers players the ability to build and place objects with very high precision through a sophisticated system, as well as tweaking and modifying already placed objects with equal precision. We also supply a high performance automation system for all production buildings to automatically pull and push from nearby chests, in addition of allowing to craft and build from nearby chests. The goal is to provide V+ as a base modification for Valheim to increase quality of life, tweak the game’s difficulty, and in general, improve the player’s experience. V+ also comes with a version and configuration control system for servers and users, enabling server owners to ensure that only players with the same configuration are able to join the server.

ValheimPlus Server Hosting
We teamed up with one of the best game hosting companies out there to make sure we can offer you the best quality dedicated game server hosting at affordable good prices. We work together closely to make sure all our features are integrated and working at all times. We even have a full time dedicated Zap-Hosting support team to help you out in our discord in addition.

Installation Instructions
We supply 4 different versions of V+ with every release since version 0.8. You can find detailed instructions on how to install these variants below.

ATTENTION FOR MULTIPLAYER:
Both the game and the server should have this mod installed to prevent all kinds of different issues.
If you have the mod installed and then have friends join over steam they should have the mod as well.

Detailed installation instructions can be found on our website.

What if the game updates?
Game updates are unlikely to do more than partially break specific features of ValheimPlus at worst.
In case you encounter any issues, use Steam’s verify integrity feature and wait for it to download/update all files.
This should resolve any issues related. If you continue to have issues, contact the help channel in our discord server.

Configuration File
The Config file name is supposed to be “valheim_plus.cfg” and it needs to be placed in “BepInExconfig”.

You can turn off and on every feature of V+ via the config file, by default all settings are turned off.

By default, the “BepInExconfigvalheim_plus.cfg” is created when you start your game or server the first time.

The configuration of a older version of Valheim Plus will automatically be updated to a newer version. Alternatively you can use this website.

When hosting a server, the server configuration file overwrites the client’s configuration file on connect if you have the Server section and the serverSyncsConfig option enabled.

Only the server configuration file (located in the server files) needs to be set up when hosting a server with V+ by default.

When hosting for other players over steam, every player will need v+ and they will receive the local settings from the host’s game folder.

Mod Compatibility
We try to keep valheim plus as compatible and least intrusive as possible. However, some mods are incompatible to a certain degree.
If you are a mod author and you are reading this. Please don’t simmer on your disappointment or develop resentment for us for causing you incompatibility issues.
Please get in contact with us on Discord, contact me directly (nx#8830) or anyone of the the team. We all have open direct messages and we are more than willing to work towards every extend to make your mod compatible with ours. We just simply wont know about it being incompatible without users or yourself reporting it to us.

Mods:
Creature Level and Loot Control:
– Our difficulty scaling changes are not applied from our [Difficulty] section. However, that’s no issue at all and gameplay is not affected besides it. This mod offers a lot more extensive features about it, so you should use its settings instead to adjust it.
– The stack size changes are not compatible with each other, you will either have to use the ones from v+ or the ones from this mod.
Serverside Simulations:
– Should be entirely compatible.
HoldAttack Mod:
– Incompatible, we have tried to get in contact with the mod author to no avail. We can only recommend to use another mod with the same functionality that is still being curated.
