CollateralDamage

Collateral Damage

No troll cares who stands in the way of its club.

Trolls and bosses smash whatever creature stands in the way of their attacks: a troll's swing and

ground slam hit the greydwarfs at its feet, Eikthyr's lightning hits the dwarfs in his arena,

Yagluth's meteors hit fulings and lox, and so on for every boss but the Queen.

What changes ⚖️

It changes troll and boss fights. Creatures that wander into an arena no longer need

spawn-proofing to keep out, since the boss hits them too, and a troll with a crowd of greydwarfs

at its feet is no longer a death sentence.

• Nothing hit this way fights back or picks a new target.
• Bosses never hit what they spawned.
• A creature killed this way drops nothing unless you did at least half of the work.
• Players and tamed creatures are never hit.

Configuration

The config file is BepInEx/config/rauschekuh.collateraldamage.cfg. You can also change settings

in game with a config manager, and they apply right away.

• Collateral Damage → Enabled, which creatures and bosses hit their peers, how hard, and how

much of the work you have to do for the loot.

Multiplayer

Nothing goes on the server, but it only fully works when everyone has the mod, because each

creature is run by the game of whoever is nearest.

Install

Use a mod manager (Gale or r2modman), or unzip into

BepInEx/plugins/rauschekuh-CollateralDamage. Requires the BepInEx pack for Valheim.
