Space Marine Mod for Valheim (v3.0)

Turns the Shawesomes Warhammer 40k content into a progression system that fits Valheim: you start weak, and stronger power-armor ranks and weapons unlock as you defeat the vanilla bosses. (Русская версия ниже.)

Requires Shawesomes Warhammer 40k by Shawesome (models, effects and items). It is a dependency and is installed automatically by your mod manager. This mod does not contain its assets. (The Shawesome page is marked as deprecated, but the mod still works.) Parts of this mod were written with AI assistance.

Quick start

1. Install this mod with a mod manager (r2modman or the Thunderstore app): BepInEx, Jotunn and Shawesomes Warhammer 40k come with it.
2. In game press B to put on the power armor (press again to take it off).
3. Press V (or F8) to open the Armory: buy weapons and upgrade the armor with requisition points.
4. Press G to cycle through weapons you own. N calls a drop-pod ally.
5. Earn requisition points and XP by killing enemies, crafting and building.

All keys can be changed in the config.

Boss-gated tiers

Weapons, armor ranks and the ally are locked behind Valheim bosses. Locked items show what you still have to defeat.

Tier	Unlocked by	Examples
0	start	Combat knife, needle pistol, chainsword, bolt pistol
1	Eikthyr	Chainaxe, shotgun, bolter
2	The Elder	Power sword, guardian spear, heavy flamer
3	Bonemass	Lightning claws, crozius, power fist, storm bolter, heavy bolter
4	Moder	Thunder hammer, plasma rifle
5	Yagluth	Relic blade, multi-melta
6	The Queen	Lascannon, Life-Eater virus bomb
7	Fader	Top armor rank

Weapon damage is tuned to vanilla values for each biome (about 15-25 at the start, up to about 200 at the end).

Armor and upgrades

• Seven armor ranks, each adding armor, health, stamina, carry weight and regeneration. Higher ranks need a boss kill and requisition points.
• Extra upgrades for health, stamina, armor, regeneration and damage, each with a level cap.
• Progression is saved per character in BepInEx/config/WarhammerProgress/<name>.json.

Drop-pod ally

Press N to call a Space Marine ally. It is available from the start but weak before the first boss (30% strength, short stay) and grows to full strength by Bonemass. Cooldown 10 minutes by default.

Effects

Muzzle flashes and tracers for bolt weapons, a glowing plasma orb, a red lascannon beam, melta heat, a flamethrower stream, a toxic cloud for the virus bomb, chainsword sparks and blue power-field lightning on melee hits.

Safety and balance

• No friendly fire by default: player buildings, tamed animals and allies are not damaged.
• Boss damage multiplier 0.6 for ranged/area weapons.
• Shawesomes items are clamped to vanilla-tier stats (can be turned off).

Configuration

BepInEx/config/com.antigravity.valheimspacemarine.cfg (with Configuration Manager or any text editor). Main options:

• BossGating - turn boss locks off (everything unlocked by points only).
• DamageScale, BossDamageScale, XpScale, StartingRequisition.
• FriendlyFire.
• Ally: RequiredTier, EarlyPower, CooldownSeconds, Health, LifetimeSeconds.
• ClampItemStats, ClampRecipes for Shawesomes items.
• Keys: ToggleArmor (B), Armory (V), CycleWeapon (G), DropPod (N).

Upgrading from 2.x

The old global save config/warhammer_rpg_progression.json is no longer used; progress now starts fresh per character.

Русская версия

Мод превращает контент Shawesomes Warhammer 40k в систему прокачки под Valheim: вы начинаете слабым, а сильная броня и оружие открываются по мере убийства боссов.

Нужен мод Shawesomes Warhammer 40k (модели, эффекты, предметы) - ставится автоматически как зависимость (страница автора помечена как устаревшая, но мод работает). Часть кода написана с помощью ИИ.

Как играть: B - надеть/снять броню, V или F8 - арсенал (покупка оружия и улучшения за очки реквизиции), G - сменить оружие, N - вызвать десантника. Очки и опыт дают убийства, крафт и строительство.

Тиры: 0 - сразу; 1 - Эйктюр; 2 - Древний; 3 - Костемас; 4 - Модер; 5 - Яглут; 6 - Королева; 7 - Фейдер. Закрытые предметы в арсенале показывают, какого босса нужно победить.

Союзник: доступен сразу, но до первого босса слаб (30% силы, недолго живёт); к Костемасу становится полноценным. Перезарядка по умолчанию 10 минут.

Прокачка хранится отдельно для каждого персонажа: BepInEx/config/WarhammerProgress/<имя>.json. Дружественный огонь выключен, урон по боссам x0.6. Все настройки - в BepInEx/config/com.antigravity.valheimspacemarine.cfg.
