Moorings
Mooring post: tie a boat to it and it can't be damaged by storms, rocks or docks.
About this mod Author’s original text
Moorings
Valheim mod. Adds a Mooring post (Hammer → Misc, 6 Wood + 2 Resin at a Workbench): a log bollard with rope coiled round the top.
Interact with it to tie the nearest boat (within 12m). While moored the boat:
- takes no damage from anything — wave slams, rocks, docks, rain, Ashlands
- still rides the waves, but gets pulled back if its nearest end drifts more than 3m from the post (the line is sized to the hull, so a longship gets more room than a raft)
Interact again to cast off, or just take the rudder and push forward.
Requires BepInEx + Jötunn.
Build
dotnet build -c Release
Builds against the Steam install and copies the DLL into the r2modman Default profile's BepInEx/plugins/Moorings.
Support
If this saved your longship, you can buy me a coffee on Ko-fi. More games and mods at loxley.games.
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:
