OctoPack Camping Kit

Carry a cooking pot and ladle on your OctoPack, then make a temporary camp to cook, rest, and repair. Two nearby players can join your camp without bringing their own Camping Kit.

Features

• Equip a pot and swinging ladle in an OctoPack accessory slot.
• Set up a shared camp with a fire, bedrolls, translucent soup, steam, and a cooking menu.
• Let up to two other players join within 4 metres. They share the fire and can repair and sleep; only the host needs an equipped Camping Kit.
• Temporarily level the campsite and clear grass while camping. The original terrain and ground clutter return when camp ends; the saved world terrain is unchanged.
• Repair each item once for 25% between other repairs. Sleep follows Valheim's multiplayer time rules.

Controls

Action	Default key
Make, join, or leave camp	Either Shift + P
Open cooking (host)	K
Repair (host or guest)	J
Sleep (host or guest)	L

Joining a nearby camp takes priority over starting your own. Movement or threats cancel camping; when the host leaves, dies, or disconnects, the guest camp ends.

Installation

Requires OctoPack and BepInEx for Valheim. Install through a compatible mod manager, or close Valheim and copy the packaged plugins folder into BepInEx. The DLL belongs at BepInEx/plugins/OctoPack_addon_Camping/OctoPack_addon_Camping.dll.

Install the same Camping Kit version on every participating client. The host needs an equipped kit; guests do not need their own kit item or equipped backpack. Keep your existing config file when updating.

Configuration

BepInEx creates BepInEx/config/OctoPack_addon_Camping.cfg. Settings include the camp, cooking, repair and sleep keys; pot and ladle mounting offsets; model scale; and swing motion.

Notes

Camping Kit 0.1.19 includes a fix for cleanup during player shutdown. Automated build and regression checks passed. In-game quit-after-camping and multiplayer retesting are still pending for this build.
