🏃‍♂️ Improved Auto Run 🏃‍♂️

• It doesn't stop when you strafe with A/D, jump, dodge or crouch.
• It follows the camera direction: to turn, just move the mouse.
• It stops with S or by pressing the auto run key again.
• It stops when you attack with any weapon or tool (including drawing a bow or crossbow), so you can react in combat. Blocking with a shield doesn't stop it.
• It stays active in build mode, so you can place pieces while moving.
• Sprints again on its own: if you run out of stamina while sprinting, you keep jogging and, as soon as the stamina recharge boost ends, you start sprinting again automatically.
• Crossbow reloading without losing pace: when reloading while sprinting, the sprint pauses for a moment (you keep jogging) so the reload isn't cancelled, and it resumes by itself when finished.

Keys:

| Key ⌨️ | Action |

|:-:|:-:|

| Auto run key (the one in Valheim's settings) | Starts or stops auto run |

| S | Stops auto run |

🛣️ Automatic Path Following 🛣️

Start auto run on a path made with the hoe and your character will follow its curves on their own, without you having to turn the camera.

• The camera turns smoothly and naturally, always behind your character.
• It adapts to your speed: when sprinting or galloping it looks further ahead and turns faster so it doesn't leave the path on curves.
• Works on foot and mounted. When riding, the animal follows the path by itself and stays in the middle of the road.
• Take control whenever you want: moving the mouse sideways or pressing A/D gives you control for one second, and then it goes back to following the path.
• If you drift slightly off the path, it tries to get back on it.
• At crossroads it takes the straightest branch; to choose another one, turn the mouse towards it.
• When leaving the path, auto run continues normally.

Key

| Key ⌨️ | Action |

|:-:|:-:|

| Shift + auto run key | Starts auto run following the path (on foot or mounted) |

| The same combination again | Stops it |

| Auto run key alone | Switches to normal auto run without stopping |

🏞️ Free Look Camera 🏞️

Hold Left Alt to look around freely while you keep moving in the same direction.

• Works while walking, sprinting, with auto run, following paths and mounted.
• You can move with WASD normally while looking somewhere else.
• When standing still, your character doesn't turn towards the camera.
• When you release the key, the camera goes back to the front: instantly or with a smooth transition, as you prefer.
• When blocking or aiming, your character does turn towards the camera, so you attack where you are looking.

⚡ Improved Stamina ⚡

Recharge Boost

• Strong boost up to half of the bar.
• Then the recharge slows down smoothly, without sudden changes, until it reaches the game's normal speed.

Rested

With the Rested effect, the boost lasts longer (up to 60% of the bar), without getting stronger. Outside the boost, Rested works as usual.

Stamina recharges much faster while you are low on it, so you are never left defenseless:

Green Stamina Bar

During the boost, the stamina bar turns green and gradually returns to its normal yellow as the boost ends. This way you can see at a glance how much boost you have left.

🌄 Paths and Roads 🌄

Building paths now has a real reward:

• Sprinting on paths made with the hoe (dirt or paved) or on buildings (floors, bridges, stone roads) uses half the stamina.
• You run 10% faster on paths made with the hoe, and 15% faster if you are Rested.
• Your mount also goes faster on paths, with the same percentages.
