ArcanumWindmill

ArcanumWindmill

Simple windmill control for Valheim: ignore wind restrictions and independently adjust processing speed.

Features

• IgnoreWindRestrictions: production runs at full wind power regardless of wind intensity or shelter. Default: true.
• ProcessingSpeed: independent production progress multiplier from 0.01x to 10x. Default: 1x; 2 means double, 0.5 means half.
• No changes to recipes, barley-to-flour ratio, capacity, other crafting stations, or global weather.

Installation

Requires BepInExPack Valheim. Install through Gale, r2modman, or Mod Manager with its dependency, then launch through that profile.

Manual installation: copy BepInEx/plugins/ArcanumWindmill/ArcanumWindmill.dll from the archive into the same location under your game's BepInEx installation.

Multiplayer: install on every participating client and on the dedicated server with matching settings. Server-only installation is unsupported. Client-and-server installation worked in the author's test; removing the client mod caused the changes to stop working. Client-only multiplayer installation has not been tested separately.

Settings are local; there is no server config synchronization or version enforcement. The machine owning the windmill runs production, so all players should use matching settings.

Configuration

Launch successfully once to generate BepInEx/config/arcanum.windmill.cfg in your active game or mod-manager profile. Close the game/server before editing, then restart.

[Windmill]

IgnoreWindRestrictions = true

ProcessingSpeed = 1

| IgnoreWindRestrictions | ProcessingSpeed | Effect |

|---|---|---|

| true | 1 | Constant vanilla maximum-wind production progress |

| true | 2 | Double maximum-wind production progress |

| false | 1 | Vanilla production |

| false | 2 | Double current wind-dependent production progress |

Disabling the wind override preserves wind and shelter effects at any chosen multiplier.

No config file?

Confirm you launched your modded profile and look for ArcanumWindmill 1.0.0 loaded in BepInEx/LogOutput.log. The profile's config folder may differ from the Steam game directory. A patch failure in the log may indicate a game update or conflicting mod.

Notes

• Blade animation, sound, and visual state still follow vanilla weather. A windmill can look stopped while processing flour; check output to judge production.
• Vanilla processing advances in one-second steps and resets its timer after each item. Multipliers scale progress; item throughput is rounded by those steps and capped at one item per simulated second.
• Other mods changing windmill power or smelter production may conflict. Future Valheim updates may require a new build.
• Initial client-and-server testing passed. Server-only testing did not. A complete settings matrix, ownership-transfer tests, and compatibility with other production mods have not been independently verified.
