Odin's Free Refills

Odin has opened a tab in your name. As long as the woods are quiet, your stamina bar is on the house.

Cartur's Safe Stamina is back! Cartur has updated Cartur's Safe Stamina. If you used it before, go check it out: Cartur's came first, and Odin's Free Refills was made while it was gone. Run one or the other, not both, since having both on will likely cause issues. Thank you to everyone who downloaded Free Refills!

When no hostile creature is close by, these cost you nothing:

• sprinting, jumping, sneaking and swimming
• chopping trees, mining and swinging weapons
• building, repairing and deconstructing

The moment a threat comes within range, the tab closes and you pay the normal price again. No toggle to remember, no potion to drink.

Bonus: when you're safe, the bar keeps topping itself up during swims, swings, dodges and wall-runs. Vanilla Valheim freezes regeneration during those.

How "safe" is decided

The mod looks for hostile creatures within SafeRadius metres of you (25 by default) a few times a second. It asks the game itself whether each creature is your enemy, so tames and passive wildlife are ignored, and creatures added by other mods follow the same rules as vanilla ones.

Configuration

Settings live in BepInEx/config/hevyh2o.valheim.odinsfreerefills.cfg. If you have a Configuration Manager mod installed, you can also change them in game (usually F1); this mod doesn't need one.

Setting	Default	Controls
SafeRadius	25	Distance in metres that counts as "a threat is nearby".
AffectSprint	true	Running, plus refilling while wall-running.
AffectJump	true	Jumping.
AffectSwim	true	Swimming, plus refilling while in the water.
AffectSneak	true	Crouch-walking.
AffectAttacks	true	Tool and weapon swings, plus refilling mid-swing and mid-dodge.
AffectBuild	true	Hammer placement, repair and removal.
IgnoredCreatures	(blank)	Comma-separated creatures to never treat as a threat. Accepts prefab names or display names.

Things to know

• The sea gets friendlier. Drowning only kicks in once your stamina is gone, so free swimming means you won't drown when safe. Switch off AffectSwim to keep the ocean deadly.
• No free refill when overloaded. Carrying too much still stops regeneration.
• Skill gains are unaffected. You still level Run, Swim, Sneak and weapon skills as normal.
• It's your tab, nobody else's. Works in single-player and multiplayer, but only your own character benefits; creatures and other players pay as usual.
• Plays well with stamina tweaks. Mods that change how much things cost still work; this mod only waives the bill when you're safe.
• Don't run this alongside Cartur's Safe Stamina. They do the same job, and with both on they'll likely cause issues, starting with a doubled refill rate.
• Found a bug or have an idea? Tell Odin in Odin's Tavern. The ravens read every note; your BepInEx\LogOutput.log helps them read faster.

Also from Odin's tavern

Odin's Stagger Home: too many meads to find the way? Press \ and Odin walks you home to your bed, round water and over logs. The refills pay for the walk home; Odin does the walking.

Odin's Long Drop: at a ledge or mid-fall, the drop and the damage the landing will do, beside your crosshair. Run the ridge for free; just check the drop before you jump off it.

Odin's Thread: a faint trail on your map and minimap of every step you took, fading with age, with your deaths and portal hops marked. Free legs go far. The thread shows how far, and the way back.

Odin's Nudge: alt-tabbed while something eats you? Odin flashes the taskbar and knocks when you're hurt, an enemy closes in, a raid starts or chat says your name. The tab closes when a threat comes near; if you're tabbed out, Odin knocks to tell you why.

Odin's Latch: Odin shuts the doors you opened when it matters: an enemy close, nightfall or a raid at your base. The run home is on Odin, and so is shutting the door.

Odin's Second Hand: when an enemy gets close, Odin swaps your bow for your best melee weapon against it, and hands the bow back once it's gone. The tab closes when something gets close; at least you'll have the right weapon in hand when it does.

Odin's Wanted Posters: look at a creature and press E to see its health, weaknesses and drops. The refills tell you when it's safe; the posters tell you what's coming when it isn't.

Odin's Almanac: press K for a forecast of the next weather changes in your biome. Free stamina for the row, fair skies for the sail.

Odin's Saga: sleep or log out and Odin reads you the saga of your day; press J for a lifetime of deeds. Odin waives the stamina bill, but he still writes down every tree you fell.

Odin's Hearth: press N at home to see your comfort level, what's counting, and the cheapest piece to build next. Rest up at the hearth, then spend none of it getting to work.

Odin's Pantry: press P to see your foods, what you could cook right now, and Odin's best three- food pick for your biome. Free stamina at home; the right food for when the tab closes.

Odin's Raven Returns: after you die, a raven guards your grave; press H to see where it is, what killed you and what's still waiting there. Free stamina for the sprint back to your grave, once the raven says it's clear.

Odin's Drunk Cam: drink a mead and the world sways; the more meads, the more it sways. Purely visual, with an intensity slider and an off key. Odin covers the mead; the wobble is on you.

Odin's Weapon Memories: every weapon remembers what it has killed and earns a name from how it was used, like Storied Frost Greataxe of the Troll's Bane. Free stamina means more swings, and every one is remembered.

Odin's Stone Whispers: Odin whispers when a Rock or Mysterious Rock is near; press 9 and he turns your gaze to it. The walk to a whisper costs you nothing but the time.

Odin's Dusk Horn: a low horn before nightfall, and press Home for the time to dark and the way to your bed. Sprinting home at dusk is cheaper when the tab is open.

Odin's Knot: log out and Odin asks what you were doing; log back in and he reads it back. Press ' to retie it. Tie "run to the swamp and back" in your knot; Odin is paying for the run.

Credits

The idea and design come from Cartur's Safe Stamina by Cartur (jekkle). Odin's Free Refills is an independent rewrite, made to keep that gameplay available while Cartur's mod was off Thunderstore. It's back and up to date now. All credit for the concept goes to Cartur. Any bugs in this version are ours.
