About this mod Author’s original text

DadsBetterVal

One configurable Valheim 1.0.12 plugin containing area repair, safe inventory recycling and reclaiming, a game clock, improved processing machines, and unrestricted building.

Use the native crafting-panel Reclaim tab, or open inventory and press Delete over an unequipped item, to reclaim it. Hold Left Shift while using a supported furnace or processing machine for quick insertion. Every feature and value is configurable in com.dadisbored.dadsbetterval.cfg.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. 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.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. 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.
