Beast of Burden

A Valheim mod that adds a skill-based carry weight system. Train your carrying capacity by moving while heavily loaded!

Features

• Beast of Burden Skill: A trainable skill that increases your maximum carry weight
• Skill Progression: Gain experience by moving while carrying at least 90% of your capacity
• Configurable: Adjust base carry weight, skill gain rate, and weight bonus per level
• Persistent: Your skill level is saved with your character

Configuration

After first run, a configuration file will be created at BepInEx/config/com.laserflare.beastofburden.cfg:

| Setting | Default | Description |

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

| EnableMod | true | Enable or disable the mod |

| CarryWeightPerSkillLevel | 3 | Additional carry weight per skill level |

| SkillGainRate | 0.5 | Experience gained per second while training |

| MinimumLoadPercentage | 0.9 | Minimum load (90%) required to train the skill |

How It Works
