About this mod Author’s original text
Rome's Tweaks Mod
Rome's Tweaks Mod is a lightweight and configurable collection of quality-of-life and balance tweaks for Valheim.
The mod is designed to reduce repetitive grind, waiting times and some of the more punishing mechanics while keeping the rest of the vanilla experience mostly unchanged.
Every major feature can be enabled or disabled independently.

Configuration
Rome's Tweaks Mod uses the standard BepInEx configuration system.
The configuration file is automatically generated after launching the game with the mod installed:
BepInEx/config/aromeral.RomeTweaksMod.cfg
Changes can be made directly from this file without rebuilding the mod.
Faster Production

Supported stations:
- Charcoal Kiln

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:
