About this mod Author’s original text
\# TheDonegalProject(SW): Sliabh Liag
A true-to-scale Valheim map based on southwest Donegal, Ireland.
It features the iconic \\Sliabh Liag cliffs\\, early biome layout, and a coastline inspired by real-world geography.
\## Features
\- Heightmap based on real Donegal terrain
\- Designed for immersive roleplay and exploration
\## Requirements
This mod requires \\BetterContinents\\ to function.
It will be installed automatically as a dependency when you download this mod.
\## Installation
1\. Install this mod (BetterContinents will be installed automatically as a dependency).
2\. Launch Valheim.
3\. Place the included config file into your Valheim configuration folder:
This ensures the Donegal Project presets work for the landscape and terrain of the map.
4\. You can set the directory paths for the heightmap and biome map in two ways:
\- \\Directly in the config file\\ (BepInEx/config/BetterContinents.cfg) by editing the directory option.
\- \\In-game\\ using the \\Configuration Manager\\ mod, which allows you to adjust the directory option through the UI. Just Copy The Donegal projects path/directory from your plugins folder and paste it into the directory option.
When all this is done, create a new world in Valheim.
6\. In the world generation menu, select the "From Config" Option
7\. And the map will load correctly
⚠️ \\Important:\\ The config is tuned specifically for Donegal’s geography. Changing these settings may alter the look of the landscape and break the intended design.
\## Future Plans
\- Refined heightmaps with biome accuracy
\- Expanded coverage of Donegal regions
\- Integration with BetterContinents

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:
