ServerSyncedBoatMapExploreRadius

Increases the map exploration radius while you're driving a boat. The radius value is hosted on the dedicated server and synchronized to every client on connect, so the whole server uses the same setting and players can't override it locally.

This is a derivative of nearbear's BiggerBoatMapExploreRadius. The boat-detection and explore logic is unchanged; the only difference is that the radius config now flows from the server to clients via the ServerSync library (which is bundled inside the DLL — no extra dependency to install).

Configuration

All config lives in the usual BepInEx config file: BepInEx/config/nearbear_ServerSyncedBoatMapExploreRadius.cfg.

Setting	Default	Range	Description
`BoatExploreRadius`	`500`	`10`–`10000`	Map reveal radius in meters while sailing. Synced from the server.
`LockConfiguration`	`true`	bool	When true, the server's `BoatExploreRadius` is authoritative and clients cannot change it locally.

How to set the radius

On the dedicated server, open BepInEx/config/nearbear_ServerSyncedBoatMapExploreRadius.cfg and set BoatExploreRadius = <your value>. Leave LockConfiguration = true.
Restart the server.
When clients connect, they automatically receive the server's value — they don't need to edit anything locally. The client's own config file will be overwritten with the server's value while connected.

If you'd rather let each player keep their own radius, set LockConfiguration = false on the server. Clients will then use whatever is in their local config file.

Requirements

BepInExPack Valheim (only Thunderstore dependency — ServerSync is bundled inside this mod's DLL)

ServerSync is only effective on a dedicated server. In single-player or a player-hosted (peer-to-peer) session, the local config file is always the source of truth.
