Trade Wind

Send a dock chest to another harbor that shares water. A small skiff clips along the route while you watch the time remaining. The crossing has a coin cost based on distance and how many stacks you send.

A Valheim BepInEx 5 plugin built on Jotunn.

Features

• Trade Dock (Hammer > Misc, 30 Wood + 10 Iron). A chest with a moored skiff. Press E on the skiff to name the harbor and see every other dock.
• A dock is only offered when the two harbors share a water path (a straight channel, or a bend around a peninsula).
• Each route shows distance, travel time (distance / TravelSpeed), and a coin cost (BaseCoins + 1 per 100 m + 1 per stack).
• Send takes the coins and the chest, and launches a small skiff. The skiff is for show: it has no collision and clips through the world.
• Alt+T opens the DFG board (DFGHub). The TradeWind tab lists every crossing, a progress bar, and the time remaining. Recall puts the goods back and returns the coins when the origin dock is loaded.
• Press E on a dock for routes. Press Shift+E for the outgoing chest.

Requirements

• BepInEx 5 (denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim)
• Jotunn 2.30.x (ValheimModding-Jotunn)
• DFGHub (DFG-DFGHub-1.4.2)

Installation

• Install through your mod manager (recommended).
• Manual: drop TradeWind.dll into BepInEx\plugins\.

How to use

• Restart the game after installing (build pieces register at startup).
• Build two Trade Docks on the water.
• Press E on a dock's skiff. Rename it. The other dock appears if a water path exists, with the time and the coin cost.
• Press E on the dock deck and put goods in the chest.
• Press Send. Coins leave your pocket, and a small skiff heads for the other harbor.
• Press Alt+T and open the TradeWind tab to see how long is left, or Recall to undo the shipment.
