MySix Lights

Every torch, sconce, brazier, candle and fire in a base burns through its fuel, so a big base means regular rounds with resin, wood and coal, and whatever you miss goes dark. With this mod, the lights and fires players build never run out: their fuel is kept topped up to full, so you never refuel them, and they are still lit when you come back.

• Crafting fires such as kilns, smelters and ovens still use fuel normally.
• Torches the world generated are left alone.
• Chest-fed mode (off by default): a light burns its fuel as normal, and when it is down to its last item of fuel it takes one more from the nearest container that holds that fuel, within 100 metres by default (Lights.ContainerRange), so it goes out only once those containers run dry. Only containers the player near the light could open themselves are used: never someone else's private chest, one inside a ward that player is not permitted on, or one someone has open. Set Lights.Mode to ChestFed to use it.

Part of the MySix mod suite. Every mod in the suite needs MySix Core, which adds the in-game mysix command for reading and changing settings. Settings are kept in the world itself, so a world plays the same on any computer or server: a setting for everyone is changed once, by the host or a server admin, and each player's own choices are kept in the world for that player.

Installing

Install with a mod manager - the Thunderstore Mod Manager, Gale and r2modman all work - and it fetches BepInEx and MySix Core for you. To install by hand, install BepInExPack_Valheim first, then unzip the DLL of MySix Core and of each MySix mod you want into BepInEx/plugins. Everyone playing together should run the same versions.

Settings

The Settings wiki page lists this mod's 3 settings: what each does, its choices and default, who can change it, and the exact command to type. In short: press F5 in game to open the console (if nothing opens, add -console to Valheim's launch options) and type mysix to list every setting, mysix set <setting> <value> to change one.

Languages

What the MySix mods show you in play - the names and descriptions of their items and portals, their messages on screen, and the Cartographer's map tab and marks - is in the language you play Valheim in, in every language the game offers except Abenaki, which shows English for now as we could not find a translation we trust. The mysix console command, the setting descriptions it prints, the Settings wiki pages and the warnings before a server restart are in English only. We mainly test in English; if something reads wrong in your language, please let us know.

Note on achievements

Valheim switches achievements off for anyone with a mod installed. MySix Mods Not Cheating, part of the MySix bundle, keeps them working.
