Fermenter Timer — know when your mead is ready

35 languages: in-game texts follow your game's language — English · Svenska · Français · Italiano · Deutsch · Español · Русский · Română · Български · Македонски · Suomi · Dansk · Norsk · Íslenska · Türkçe · Lietuvių · Čeština · Magyar · Slovenčina · Polski · Nederlands · Português (Portugal) · Português (Brasil) · Simplified Chinese · Traditional Chinese · Japanese · 한국어 · हिन्दी · Hrvatski (English otherwise).

Two minutes or thirty-eight before your mead is ready? Hover a fermenter: the time left shows under its usual text and

counts down live.

Features

  • Time left: a fermenting barrel shows Time left: 12:34 under the game's text, counting down live (1:58:20 past an hour).
  • Read from the barrel itself: its start time and its duration, so it is right in multiplayer and with mods that change the fermentation time.
  • Exposed or without a roof: nothing is shown, because the game restarts the fermentation as long as the barrel is not sheltered (the game already says why).
  • World time, like the game: fermentation only moves on while someone is in the world, and sleeping skips ahead.
  • Optional percentage of progress (ShowPercent).
  • Client side: only the players who want the timer need the mod. Nothing to install on the server.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/com.Azura.fermentertimer.cfg:

| Setting | Default | Meaning |

|---|---|---|

| ShowPercent | false | Also show the progress in percent |

| TextColor | #E8C77A | Colour of the time left line (HTML colour; empty = the hover text's colour) |

Installation

  • With a mod manager (r2modman, Mod Manager): click Install. BepInExPack Valheim is installed with it.
  • By hand: install BepInExPack Valheim, then put FermenterTimer.dll in Valheim/BepInEx/plugins.

Tested with Valheim 1.0.17 and BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2350.

En français

Encore deux minutes ou trente-huit avant que l'hydromel soit prêt? Survolez le fermenteur: le temps restant s'affiche

sous son texte habituel et défile en direct.

  • Temps restant sous le texte du fermenteur, en direct: Temps restant: 12:34 (1:58:20 au-delà d'une heure).
  • Lu dans le tonneau lui-même (heure de début et durée): juste en multijoueur et avec les mods qui changent la durée de fermentation.
  • Exposé ou sans toit: rien ne s'affiche, puisque le jeu recommence la fermentation tant que le tonneau n'est pas abrité (il dit déjà pourquoi).
  • Heure du monde, comme le jeu: la fermentation n'avance que si quelqu'un est dans le monde, et dormir la fait avancer d'un coup.
  • Pourcentage d'avancement en option (ShowPercent).
  • Côté joueur: seuls ceux qui veulent le minuteur installent le mod; rien sur le serveur.

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:
