About this mod Author’s original text

Overhaul

Overhaul is a single plugin, Overhaul.dll, that reworks movement, combat, progression, the interface, storage, building and dungeons, while staying close to the spirit of Valheim. Most systems are configurable, and the main rules are synchronized from the server to every player.

Fully translated in English and French.

Movement and stamina

  • Base movement speed doubled.
  • Basic actions no longer use stamina.
  • Sprint is replaced by a dash that costs stamina.
  • Jumping on a slope goes as high as on flat ground.
  • No more sliding on terrain or buildings below 50°.
  • Swim without limit, but stamina does not recover while swimming.

Combat

  • Attack speed raised for almost every weapon (+20% to +50%).
  • The first strike of every melee combo carries you slightly forward.
  • A simple attack timed right after a dodge is faster and always critical.
  • Magic staffs replace blocking with a protection spell.
  • Over-the-shoulder camera offset for easier aiming.
  • Aim your bow while crouching.
  • Weapons and tools lose no durability when they miss.
  • Axes deal double damage to wood, pickaxes double damage to stone, ore and golems, and both wear 50% less on those resources.
  • Training dummy: an info window shows your DPS and max damage when you stand nearby. It can't be destroyed by weapons or damage over time, only with the hammer.

Progression

  • Leveling system with 200 levels, 16 stats and 4 special passives.
  • Vanilla skills get a milestone every 10 levels, which you no longer lose on death.
  • More detailed skill tooltips.

Interface (Project Auga integration)

  • Complete interface overhaul based on Project Auga.
  • Equipment window based on Equipment & Quick Slots, with one extra accessory slot.
  • Cosmetic system: wear any piece of gear as a cosmetic.
  • 3 shortcut slots reserved for food.
  • 3 ammo slots for arrows and bolts, cycled with a single shortcut.
  • Sort button on inventories and chests.
  • Trash button in the inventory to permanently delete an item.
  • Compact key hint box in the bottom-right corner, with mouse button icons.
  • Several French translations fixed (Tranchant, Poussin, Poule, Massue, Arme d'hast).

Inventory and weight

  • Base carry weight raised from 300 to 600.
  • Weight of every item halved.
  • Megingjord bonus raised from 150 to 400.
  • The Dvergr circlet becomes an accessory, with a radial light instead of a spotlight.

Chests and crafting

  • Rename chests: the name shows in the window and when you aim at the chest.
  • R takes everything from a chest, whether you aim at it or have it open.
  • Private chests: a lock button makes a chest inaccessible to other players.
  • Building and crafting use resources from nearby chests, except other players' private chests.
  • Crafting stations work without a roof.
  • Repair any item at any workbench.
  • Wooden arrows can be crafted without a station.

Machines with real inventories

  • Smelters, kilns, cooking stations, fermenters, fires and shield generators open as inventory windows, with separate materials and fuel.
  • Shift + Interact puts all your resources into a machine at once (smelter, campfire...).
  • The oven has 4 dish slots that match the slots inside the oven. Cooked dishes stay in the oven until you take them.
  • Item stands and armor stands open as inventories. Shift + R on an armor stand swaps your worn gear with the gear on the stand.
  • Items produced by machines never merge into one stack and never despawn.
  • Other items dropped on the ground despawn after 30 minutes.

Gathering and farming

  • Area harvesting for crops, mushrooms and more.
  • Hold the interact key to pick up every item around you.
  • Grid planting with the cultivator, based on PlantEasily.
  • Harvesting a crop grown from seeds replants it automatically, for free.
  • Felling a tree drops 1 to 3 seeds.
  • Adult fir trees in the Mountains drop core wood, like Black Forest pines.
  • The level 3 hoe can remove or reduce tar.
  • Feeding trough where tamed animals can eat.

Building and travel

  • Move useful buildi

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:
