About this mod Author’s original text
You're Tired
Part of the Scavengers Survival Series for Valheim.
You're Tired gives the player an Energy meter. It turns hard travel and poor planning into fatigue, while shelter, warmth, food, water, and sleep give recovery real value.
Latest update — V0.3.0
- Energy HUD fixes improve the meter's presentation and keep it clear during normal play.
What it adds
- Persistent Energy saved to the character.
- Energy drain from time awake, sprinting, swimming, work, combat, cold, hunger, thirst, and injuries.
- Energy recovery from dry shelter, warmth, food, water, and sleeping.
- Low Energy penalties to movement, sprint build-up, stamina recovery, mining, and chopping.
- A gentle yawn system below 45% Energy that becomes more frequent near exhaustion without rapid repetition.
- A movable/resizable vertical Energy meter.
Controls
- L — Enter or leave the Tired HUD layout editor.
- Drag the meter to move it.
- Drag a gold corner handle to resize it.
- F4 — Write diagnostics to BepInEx/LogOutput.log.
- F1 — Toggle the tiredness system for the current session.
- Ctrl + F3 — Hide or restore the mod HUD along with Valheim's HUD toggle.
Configuration
- General > Enabled turns the tiredness system and its penalties on or off.
- HUD > ShowTiredMeter hides only the Energy meter.

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:
