About this mod Author’s original text
Arcanum Ancient Roots
Roots never run dry.
Keeps Mistlands ancient roots at their full energy level. Previously depleted roots become fully available when loaded with the mod enabled. Roots retain their full-energy status and glow through the game's normal updates.
Sap extractors keep their normal production timers, storage capacity, placement requirements, and collection behavior. No configuration is required.
Installation
Requires BepInExPack Valheim.
Install the ZIP through your mod manager, or close Valheim and copy its BepInEx folder into your game folder. Launch with BepInEx enabled.
For multiplayer, install on every client and the dedicated server, if used. Valheim transfers ownership of world objects between peers; an unmodded owner can resume normal depletion. This mod does not enforce installation or synchronize configuration.
Avoid combining with mods that change ancient-root energy or regeneration.
Removal
Disable the mod or remove ArcanumAncientRoots.dll, then restart Valheim. Normal depletion and regeneration resume. Roots saved at full energy remain full until normal extraction drains them.
Validation
Confirmed working in game by the author. Offline checks also passed for depleted roots, repeated drain requests, root capacity, normal storage updates, unrelated resource roots, and removal. Multiplayer ownership transfer has not been separately verified. See VALIDATION.md for details.
Build from source
Run Build.ps1 with your Valheim path and, if necessary, explicit BepInExAssembly and HarmonyAssembly paths. A.NET SDK is required. Game and dependency assemblies are not included.
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
