Rested Improvements

HexBaseEnhancements allows the delay before receiving the Rested status effect to be customized.

The default custom delay is:

2 seconds

The custom delay can be disabled to restore Valheim's normal behavior.

When rapid health and stamina regeneration is enabled, health and stamina are quickly restored while resting.

Wet Status Removal

When enabled, the Wet status effect is automatically removed when the player is both:

• Sheltered
• Near a fire

Automatic Inventory Repair

When enabled, damaged repairable items in the player's inventory are automatically repaired when the player is sheltered and near a fire.

When one or more items are repaired:

• A notification is displayed
• The vanilla repair sound can optionally be played

Automatic Fireplace Refueling

When enabled, nearby fireplaces are automatically refueled when their fuel level becomes almost empty.

Fuel can be pulled from:

• The player's inventory
• Nearby containers

The default fireplace detection radius is:

20 meters

The detection radius can be configured between:

5 - 100 meters

Only fireplaces within the configured detection radius of the player will be automatically refueled.

Nearby fuel containers are also discovered using this radius. This means a fireplace may be within range, but if the container holding its required fuel is outside the configured detection radius, that fuel will not be available for automatic refueling.

For larger bases, increase the detection radius or distribute fuel containers throughout the base so the required resources remain within range.

Resources are only consumed when a fireplace is almost empty and needs to be refueled. Fireplaces that already have sufficient fuel are left unchanged.

Fireplaces configured with infinite fuel are ignored.

Door Improvements

Doors can be configured to open significantly faster than normal.

Automatic door closing can also be enabled with a configurable delay.

If a door is manually closed before the auto-close timer expires, it will remain closed.

Comfort Radius

Valheim normally detects comfort-providing pieces within approximately 10 meters of the player.

HexBaseEnhancements allows this radius to be configured between:

1 - 50 meters

The default custom comfort radius is:

20 meters

Disabling the increased comfort radius restores the vanilla 10 meter radius.
