BreedingUpgrades

Disclaimer:

Most of mods I work with are some old and outdated ones that their authors haven't updated so far to match 1.0. I am not a professional modder myself, but I am good with coding and gaming. If you experience any problems with the mods I published, you can find me in Hexium discord server by typing DMT.

BreedingUpgrades

A Valheim mod that gives offspring of your tamed creatures a rare chance to spawn with an extra star.

Fork/update of Dumba's BreedingUpgrades, maintained for Valheim 1.0.x.

GitHub: DaiMinhTri/BreedingUpgrades

Features

Star Upgrades

Offspring have a configurable percentage chance (default 5%) to gain a star level when born.

Egg Support

Works for both mammals (Wolves, Lox, Boars, Moose) and egg-layers (Chickens, Asksvin). Eggs are intercepted during procreation and upgraded in the same roll.

Moose (Deep North)

Moose uses the standard Tameable/Procreation components, so star upgrades apply to calves and carry over when they grow up.

Server-Side Control

Configuration is locked by default and synced from the server using embedded ServerSync. Clients cannot change settings unless the server allows it.

Breeding Limits (On by Default)

Configurable population cap per species. When enabled, breeding stops when the species limit is reached nearby. Supports Boars, Wolves, Lox, Chickens, Moose, and Asksvin.

Search Radius

Per-species control over how far the mod checks for nearby creatures when counting population and finding mates. Both the population check range and partner check range can be configured independently per species.
