Features
- Wooden boat hull, cloth wings, glowing Surtling core, and a carved propeller.
- Five seats: one pilot and four passengers.
- Four wagon wheels with suspension, steering, brakes, and ground reverse.
- Full loops, barrel rolls, and rudder control.
- Throttle stays set while someone remains seated or standing on deck. When
everyone leaves, power cuts out and the plane slows and descends.
- A normal wooden chest's 10 storage slots. Cargo saves with the plane and
drops when you deliberately dismantle it.
- An indestructible hull and unlimited core power. Collisions still apply;
hammer dismantling remains available. The hull floats for water landings.
Requirements
Install these on every player's computer and on the server:
| Dependency | Tested version | Download and setup |
| --- | --- | --- |
| BepInExPack Valheim | 5.4.2351 | BepInExPack Valheim |
| Jötunn, the Valheim Library | 2.30.2 | Jötunn |
| Surtling Skyfarer | 0.1.5 | GitHub releases |
Use the same Skyfarer version on all clients and the server. This release was
tested against Valheim l-1.0.16 / Unity 6000.0.75f1.
The Skyfarer download contains the mod itself. Install BepInEx and Jötunn
separately; their files are not bundled. The package manifest declares both
dependencies-compatible mod managers.
Installation
Manual installation
- Close Valheim, or stop the dedicated server.
- Install BepInExPack Valheim using its instructions for your operating
system. Launch once through BepInEx so its folders are created, then close it.
- Install Jötunn into the active BepInEx/plugins folder.
- Download SurtlingSkyfarer-0.1.5.zip from
Releases.
- Extract its BepInEx folder into the game or server folder. The mod DLL
should end up at:
BepInEx/plugins/Skyfarer/Wise.Skyfarer.dll
- Launch through your normal BepInEx-enabled method. On Linux, follow the
BepInEx pack's game or dedicated-server launcher instructions.
If you download the standalone DLL instead, put it in the same folder above.
Keep one copy of Wise.Skyfarer.dll in your active plugin tree.
Mod-manager profiles
Install the two dependencies in your Valheim profile, then import the release
ZIP using the manager's local-mod import option. If local import is unavailable,
open the profile folder and copy the DLL into its BepInEx/plugins/Skyfarer
folder. Start the game through that modded profile.
Dedicated servers and AMP
The server needs all three components too. Stop it, install or enable its
BepInEx setup, and upload Jötunn and Skyfarer into its active
BepInEx/plugins folder. In AMP, use the instance's File Manager and restart
through its BepInEx-enabled launch method. The same Skyfarer DLL is used by
Windows and Linux clients and servers.
Updating an existing installation
Stop the server and close each player's game. Replace the existing
Wise.Skyfarer.dll, then restart everyone on the same version. Updating from
0.1.2, 0.1.3, or 0.1.4 to 0.1.5 does not require reinstalling BepInEx or Jötunn
when the tested versions above are already installed. Existing aircraft gain
the cargo chest when loaded.
Build the plane
Equip a hammer, stand near a workbench, and open Transport. Look for
Surtling Skyfarer, or type Skyfarer into the hammer menu's search field.
Your character must discover the recipe materials first.

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:
