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.
