About this mod Author’s original text

Discovery Radius

This mod will change the way how your discovery radius of Valheim will reveal your map.

Features

  • ServerSynced
  • Configurable base radius for travelling on land and sea
  • Configurable absolute min / max radius that will be applied after all multiplicators were applied
  • Configurable multipliers that will be applied based on in-game environmental conditions:
  • Altitude: higher altitude will reveal more
  • Forest: inside a forest the radius is reduced
  • Daylight: depending on light available the radius varies
  • Weather: weather conditions with less visibility will also lower the radius
  • Configurable display options that will add additional information to your HUD

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.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
