About this mod Author’s original text
Fast Ferment
This simple mod allows you to adjust the amount of time it takes for a mead base to ferment into a mead. By default the mod makes it take about one second to ferment, but you can change this in the config file.
This is my first Valheim mod so let me know if there are issues!
Manual Installation
In order to install this mod, you need to have BepInEx and Harmony installed. After installing these, place fastferment.dll (extract zip) into (Your Steam games directory)\Valheim\BepInEx\plugins.
Customization
To change the fermentation duration, go to the directory (Your Steam games directory)\Valheim\BepInEx\config and open fastferment.cfg in notepad. Then change the number after the "=" sign. The game sets this value to 2400, but the mod sets it to 1 by default. This seems to be roughly equal to 1 second.
I'm not 100% sure if this number is actually in seconds, as the Valheim wiki suggests that the duration is 3600 seconds. However, you can safely assume it's within the range of 2/3 of a second to a full second.
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:
