StructureDamageTweaks

In vanilla Valheim, structures can be pretty sturdy. Mods can easily turn your fortresses or ships into houses of cards though. This mod aims to remedy this.

Structures in the game will be put into a configurable number of categories. By default, the mod just differs between ships and player build structures. Non-player structures are ignored.

Whether a structure is in a category can be determined by:

• Name of the structure.
• Material of the structure.
• Exclude non-player structures.

For each category one can modify the damage done to the structures in two ways:

• Using global keys, which are used by vanilla Valheim to determine which boss has been defeated.
• Using any item that needs to be in the player inventory with an effect range that can also be configured.

If one of the conditions is satisfied, the damage done to structures will be reduced accordingly.

Example from the default config:

• After defeating Yagluth, all player structures will only take 50% of the usual damage.

Furthermore, auto-repair of structures can be configured in a very similar way. Using boss keys is not possible here. This is mostly meant for automatically repairing hard to reach stuff that might have been hit by an AOE attack.

• If carrying an item that has to be defined in the config, every 2 minutes all player structures within 100m of the player will be repaired by 5%.

Installation:

Simply unpack and put into BepInEx/plugins folder. Obviously required BepInEx
