SlowHeim Modpack

SlowHeim, Take It Easy!

Please take note that this modpack is for PRE-CTA! It. Will. Not. Work. On. Latest. Update. Don't even try.

Welcome to SlowHeim! A nomap/noportal modpack!

This modpack is now designed for the SlowHeim server and includes FastLink with server/password - though you do need to be whitelisted to play. Feel free to disable FastLink. If you'd like to play, message me on Discord. I have included all of my configuration files that exist on the server. The goal of this modpack is to greatly increase the size of the world while enhancing some of Valheim's survival aspects. This playthrough is meant to be very slow. It is still a work in progress and I'll be updating as we find things that need to be changed.

If you choose to play with this modpack, please always review my changelog before updating and always backup your changes as my updates will overwite them!

Warning!

This modpack has 70+ mods. My goal was to add mods that I thought were necessary and that performed optimally as well. Still, it is a lot of mods and they do take a hit on performance.

• If you are modifying settings for any of the mods included in this modpack, you must backup your config files as my future updates will overwrite your changes. You will need to restore your files/changes post-update.
• I have used a combination of Expand World Size and Riverheim for worldgen. Terrain is drastically smoother, mountains being not quite as mountainy, and a 4.5x size map.
• Take note that depending on your PC specs, the first time you start a world it may take 30-60 minutes to generate. I have a pretty nice PC and I average 32 minutes.
• Also note that you will notice Valheim's "dimply" terrain a lot more, especially on shores and in the mountains. It is very striking in the mountain and on shores. Disable Tessellation in your graphics menu to correct this.
• Memory consumption is ~12-14GB, so unless you have over 16GB of memory, you may have a bad time. One of my kids only has 16GB of memory and can play just fine, but your mileage may vary.
• I think most people will find my changes to be a little too much for them and that they have made the game way too grindy. One may even call this "BoringHeim" or "GrindHeim" as opposed to SlowHeim lol.

Modpack Overview

This is an overview of the changes I have implemented into the game. At the end of this modpage are all the tweaks I made to the mods that are installed.

• The map is much larger with much less reliance on sailing. You should be able to complete everything up to the Mistlands without having to sail, unless you're bringing loot back to base on a river or sailing along the shores.
• To get boss rewards such as keys, you will need to sacrifice the trophy. Want more stuff? Keep sacrificing trophies.
• You will find that days and nights are longer and there are seasons that last 10 days each. You will freeze to death regardless of the biome unless you're warm. Campfires will burn through wood a lot faster in the Fall and Winter. Smelting is a bit slower. Your crops are not going to grow in the winter and grow more slowly overall.
• You don't get a map. Or portals. What you do get is a cartography table that will slowly explore a 5,000m radius over 40 in-game days (an entire in-game year). You can craft parchment and record the discoveries from the table to it and whilt it is in your inventory, press "M" to view it. Since you cannot add pins directly to the map, you can instead craft a Pin and attach this to a sign.
• You can upgrade your weapons and armor with enchanting scrolls you find or purchase from Traveling Haldor.
• Speaking of Haldor, he now travels and he will buy more things from you. There is a roughly 33% chance every four days that he may show up and hang around for 20 minutes.Hint: fishing and hunting could be lucrative. He will also sell you ingots and wood/stone from the previous biome once you have defeated the boss. At a premium, of course.
• You will see a bit more 1-3 star cr
