Concerned Cartographer V1.3.0

V1.3.0 by The Concerned Cat surveys the mines blacks7ar's OreMines adds, and brings Hulgi: a drowned cartographer who lives at your camp, introduces the atlas, and has some common sense about it — by the fire nearest your bed with a drink now and then, under a roof at night, asleep in a spare bed if you have one. He is local only: no other player can see him, he takes no part in your save, and he never blocks, fights or carries anything. Every atlas feature from 1.0.4 is unchanged. Audited against Valheim 1.0.12.

Hulgi at the campfire nearest your bed. Press Use to talk to him — he answers over his head, the way a trader does.

Concerned Cartographer turns Valheim’s map into a living atlas.

The roads your Vikings build can map themselves. Existing pins can become durable, editable entries with notes, categories, tags, search, saved views, and recoverable deletion. Routes can follow your recorded road network, and selected atlas information can be shared with other players through an explicit preview-and-apply process.

Highlights

• Hulgi, a local-only companion who introduces the atlas and then lives at your camp.
• Dirt paths and paved roads appear as separate map layers.
• Your successful Pathen and Paved construction actions record roads; walking existing terrain does not create road ink.
• Existing vanilla pins can be upgraded and edited without being recreated.
• The Atlas Drawer provides search, filtering, clustering, and saved views.
• Freehand and waypoint routes can follow recorded roads.
• Optional walking Route Follow can steer vanilla Q autorun along the selected route; it is OFF by default and manual input cancels immediately.
• Optional sailing Route Follow can steer the vanilla rudder along a route you marked as a sailing route while you hold the helm; it is OFF by default, your sails stay manual, and any helm input cancels immediately.
• Backups, restoration, migration, and sanitized support reports are built in.
• Multiplayer sharing is deliberate: nothing is applied without review.
• Fog of war is respected.
• World saves are never modified.
• Removing the mod leaves managed pins usable as ordinary vanilla pins.

Meet Hulgi (new in V1.2.0)

A broken compass lies on the ground near where you wake up. Examine it and Hulgi introduces

himself — a drowned cartographer who never made it home, and who would rather you did. Welcome

him and the atlas tools are yours; or choose Just the tools, thanks and skip the story

entirely. Either choice is permanent in the only direction that matters: once the tools are

unlocked, nothing can lock them again.

Night falls: the fire is outside, so Hulgi comes in through the door you opened to him and sleeps in the spare bed until morning.

• He has common sense about where to be. He likes a fire and a drink. By day he goes to the

burning fire nearest your bed, inside or out, and takes a seat by it if there is one. At night

or in the rain he goes under a roof — a fire under a roof first — and if there is a bed nobody

has claimed, he sleeps in it until morning. He never touches a claimed bed. The moment

something changes — a fire lit or broken, a bed built or claimed, nightfall — he gets up, walks

over, and sits back down, around buildings and through doorways.

• Doors are closed to him until you open them. Look at a door and press F8 to let

companions use it; its prompt says so, and pressing it again stops them. A door he may use, he

opens and closes behind him; a door he may not use, he never walks through. The choice is

remembered per world, on your computer only. Companions/DoorAccess = AllDoors (or "Companions

may use every door" in Settings) opens every door you could open yourself.

• He has a drink now and then — a tankard in his hand, and now and then a toast first, turned

to you if you are near. The tankard is only drawn while he drinks; it is not an item.

• He talks when spoken to. Over thirty short lines about his cat, the weather,
