Must have mods?

[Knugen]

What are the mods you think I should get on my server and make my friends download to play with?

[Palandus]

I play exclusively with mods. I also play solo, so if you don't like I play modded and solo, whatever. The top 10 I like are (naturally need Bepinex):

1. Epic Loot = Makes items pretty powerful, giving you another way to progress your character's might. You can edit the rates, qualities, enchants and recipes from within the plugins folder (rather than the config folder, though there are some settings in the config folder too).

2. Valheim Plus = Lots of quality of life settings and cheaty settings if you want them too. All sections are disabled by default, so you have to pick and choose manually what you want active.

3. Unrestricted Portals = Fully customizable, but out of the gate, you can enter portals with any metals you want on you. Makes long-distance mining operations less of a chore.

4. Cooking Station Tweaks = Lets you set auto-popping, prevent burning, cook faster and even expand the number of meats to be cooked. Very useful for eliminating tediousness with the cooking system and accidentally burning your meats.

5. Plant Everything = Able to plant all berry bushes, dandelions, thistles, and mushrooms. Can set how long they take to regrow. Can also modify the time needed to grow crops and the yields from crops and seed crops. Very useful and highly customizable.

6. MultiCraft = Lets you craft multiple items in a row. Less tedious clicking and waiting. Just don't move or manipulate your inventory, as that will cancel the action.

7. RunicPower = Able to cast abilities, spells, and buffs. Very useful. And uses up a lot of resources that normally have little usefulness in the game.

8. CreatureLevelControl = Able to have enemies go up to 5 stars in difficulty, adding more challenge and potentially more loot. Complements Epic Loot nicely. Lots of settings to make it more challenging or less. Encountering a 5 star forest troll is often quite deadly at base settings, even with silver armor and powerful loot from epic loot.

9. Lumberjack = A mod that makes cutting down trees significantly less tedious. Damaging trees like normal, until it breaks off. Then hits on the tree instantly breaks the broken logs apart.

10. Added Skill Mods = Technically each are individual mods, but they are all small and compact, and very customizable. The ones I use are: Wagon Skill, Vitality Rewrite, TradingSkill, FitnessSkillMod, and CookingSkill.

"Upgrade world", so you can update your existing map with new content

I'm just using Plant Everything and Valheim+ as this one lets you to set some game's properties to your liking, like metal trhough portals, slots in chests, and many more - the game is easier with them and less grindy.

I also use a bunch of other mods, like Customized Bronze. I never could get the custom recipe to work, but the WoW Recipe does. So default bronze is 2 copper bar + 1 tin bar = 1 bronze bar. The WoW Recipe changes it to 1 copper + 1 tin = 2 bronze. Now it is true that later on you get iron and silver, and the issues of bronze will be in the past, but it makes early to mid-game much less tedious, as bronze is also needed for bronze nails, to make a wagon and a mid-tier boat.

If you don't know what mod you need, then you don't need mods.

If you need something, but don't know what to use to address it, then you should ask for help. That would be like saying:

"If you don't know the directions to get to the restaurant that you made a reservation at, then you don't need to go there."

Or

"If you don't know how to drive a car, then you don't need to drive a car or learn how to drive one."

Or

"If you don't know how to talk to girls, then you don't need a girlfriend."

so true, mods are used to personalize gameplay, if you dont know what mods to use then you dont really know yourself. you can make the game more grindy or less grindy. you can make the game more challenging or more casual. do you haters really not know what you enjoy in a gaming experience?

[Knugen]

There was ALOT of mods here me and my friends has been discussing "oh why isnt it like this or that"

And many mods listed here does exactly those things we wish for, awesome!

Now, question,
If I implement the mods onto my dedicated server in plugins folder, that would require all connecting friends to download them manually via r2 too?

if you dont understand a post, do not answer to it.

what I say is the opposite:
You need to know what you miss in the game, and you need to figure out what is it yourself. otherwise, you will actually not play the way you want.

The conversation isn't for you, move along. The conversation is purely for people who play with mods.

The game is perfectly fine and works great without using any mods.

Having mods shouldn't offend you. People want to have mods, stop taking it so personally. Even offer your mod suggestions, or stand back.

If you've already "Beat" the game, the experience is a lot more fun without the portal restrictions.

Other mods that I use, that you might be interested in:

1. Teleportable Wagon = Bring a wagon with you through a portal.

2. Faster Boats = For those of us that want a faster sailing experience.

3. Custom Raids = For those of us that want more or fewer, or even different raids on our settlements.

4. Locate Merchant = For those that hate hunting for the merchant, who can be literally anywhere on a vast map.

5. Loot Multiplier = I only really use it to get more Cores from crypts, but has some other nice multipliers.

6. Eikthyrs Retribution = Adds a new early/mid game armor and weapon set. Quite strong defense and offense, but is balanced due to the expensive crafting costs, but good until you get Iron.

7. Dungeon Reset = Resets dungeons after a period of time, allowing you to re-loot the same dungeons. Works on the forest crypts, swamp crypts, and the mountain caves, but might work on other things.

8. More Upgrades = Allows you to change upgrade costs, upgrade benefits and how many upgrades items can have.

9. Max Dungeon Rooms = For those that love massive dungeons/crypts to explore. Making them too big, will have a performance impact and increase the likeliness of getting lost, but more loot and more encounters.

10. Better Trader = Gives the trader a lot more wares, can modify their prices and how often they restock their wares.
