About this mod Author’s original text

JanooBalance - To make Valheim less of a slog!

  • "Rested" buff now lasts 5 minutes per level instead of 1 minute
  • Stamina regen rate is almost doubled which helps take out the tedium of mining and chopping
  • Deathquito damage is lowered to 60 from 90
  • Mud piles in swamp dungeons ALWAYS drop something, and can sometimes drop 2 iron scrap
  • Crafting station range has been tripled
  • Stone pieces are now proportionate to their size, so 4x2 = 8 stone, 1x1 = 1 stone
  • Bronze output is doubled (2+1 = 2)

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.
