About this mod Author’s original text

Heimfor

Adds a Heimfor Stone: a craftable stone that takes you back to your bed.

Use it, stand still for ten seconds, and you wake up wherever you last slept. It carries

everything you have, including ore and metal, and can be used again after an hour.

Using It

Craft a Heimfor Stone at the workbench and keep it in your pack. Right-click it to start.

A ring of light opens at your feet and grows for ten seconds. When it closes you are at the last

bed you claimed.

Claiming a bed is just pressing E on one you have built. Heimfor uses the same bed the game would

respawn you at, so there is nothing extra to set up. Claim a different bed and the stone takes you

there instead.

Ore And Metal

The stone carries whatever is in your pack, including ore and metal bars. A portal will not take

those. The stone does not check.

Standing Still

While the stone is working, these interrupt it:

  • Moving
  • Taking damage
  • Opening your inventory, the console, or chat

An interrupted cast costs you nothing. The stone stays ready and you can start again straight

away. Small shoves from waves or a boat are allowed.

The Cooldown

One hour per character, counted in real time. It keeps running while you are logged out.

Each world has its own cooldown. Carrying two stones does not help, which is why they do not

stack.

Type heimfor in the console to see how long is left.

Crafting

1 Stone, 5 Greydwarf Eyes, 2 Surtling Cores and 10 Coal, at a workbench.

Installing

The server needs it too, as well as every player. The stone is a new item, and anyone without

Heimfor cannot tell what a dropped one is.

Problems

"You have no bed to go back to." Press E on a bed you have built. You do not have to sleep in

it.

Nothing happens after the ten seconds. The game refuses a teleport within two seconds of your

last one, so this

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.
