Megingjord Extended

Description

A QoL mod that adds Forge upgrades to the vanilla Megingjord strength belt. Upgrade your carry capacity as you progress through each biome - one belt, seven tiers.

The belt is crafted at the Forge and upgraded in place. Belts bought from Haldor upgrade too.

Material Discovery

Upgrade materials stay hidden until you've picked each one up, just like vanilla. You can't upgrade past a tier until you've discovered all of its materials.

Features

• Fully configurable recipe costs, forge levels, and carry bonuses.
• Works with Haldor-bought belts.
• Base belt crafting can be disabled (default OFF) - buy the belt from Haldor, then upgrade it at the forge.

Mod Information

Compatibility

Tested with game version 1.0.17.

Server Config Sync (optional)

Install ConditionalConfigSync by shudnal (1.0.10+) on both the server and clients to have the server's settings (forge levels, recipe costs, carry bonuses, base-craft toggle) automatically sync to everyone and lock them from client overrides. Server admins can still change them. Without it, the mod works as normal local config.

Changelog

2.2.0

• Added ConditionalConfigSync support (by shudnal): when CCS is installed, gameplay settings (forge levels, recipe costs, carry bonuses, base-craft toggle) sync from the server to clients and are locked by default (server admins exempt). Without CCS, settings remain ordinary local BepInEx config.

2.1.0

• Forge levels are now linear 1-7 (Q1 at forge 1, Q7 at forge 7).
• Added "Enable Base Belt Crafting" config (default OFF) - when disabled, the base belt must be bought from Haldor; upgrades still work. The belt is hidden from the Craft tab but remains upgradeable from the Upgrade tab.
• Fixed forge level patch (Harmony parameter name: vanilla uses "quality").
• Fixed craft-list filter for Valheim 1.0 (GetAvailableRecipes is void, fills a ref list parameter).

2.0.3

• Fixed Q7 Deep North upgrade still showing forge level 8 requirement (station-level patch now matches by belt item instead of recipe instance).

2.0.2

• Fixed character encoding in README (removed non-ASCII characters that displayed as mojibake on Thunderstore).

2.0.1

• Replaced README with the version co-written with Knobz.

2.0.0

• Complete redesign: dropped Jotunn and the six separate belts. The vanilla Megingjord now upgrades through quality levels 1-7 at the Forge. Haldor-bought belts upgrade in place. Everything configurable.
