NoVikingLeftBehind

One mod, server-enforced settings. Install on the server (BepInEx/plugins/NoVikingLeftBehind/) and on every client (r2modman: Settings > Import local mod, or search "NoVikingLeftBehind" once it's listed here). Clients without a matching version are rejected while the server has EnforceClientMod = true.

Every number lives in the server's Nosferatu.NoVikingLeftBehind.cfg; clients receive it on connect via ServerSync (MIT-0, blaxxun-boop).

Modules (each has its own Enabled toggle)

• Frontier [Frontier] (both) — world tier = highest boss defeated; per-material tier map in [Tiers]; "behind the frontier" = tier <= WorldTier - TiersBehind.
• ServerKeys [ServerKeys] (server) — skill XP rate, skill loss on death, free-build/craft keys pushed to vanilla clients.
• TrailingTierDiscount [Discount] (client) — recipes/pieces behind the frontier cost less (CostMultiplier, default 0.5).
• RichSmelting [Smelting] (client, smelter owner) — smelter output and bar recipes ×2 behind the frontier.
• TraderStock [Trader] (client) — Haldor sells bars of behind-the-frontier metals, gated by the relevant boss key.
• OreRegrowth [Regrowth] (server) — mined-out ore nodes behind the frontier respawn after a cooldown (default 7 in-game days) when nobody is nearby.
• VanguardShadow [Vanguard] (client) — near a better-geared ally: -25% damage taken, +50% skill XP, +20% stamina regen.
• PlaytimeRubberBand [Playtime] (both) — players below the group's median tracked hours get up to +100% gather/XP.
• GroupSkillCatchup [SkillCatchup] (both) — skills below the group's best level up faster, capped at ×3.
• CombatRecharge [Recharge] (client) — dealing and taking damage shaves seconds off your forsaken power cooldowns.
• DualPowers [Powers] (client) — carry two forsaken powers with independent cooldowns and a second HUD icon.
• FoodNoDecay [Food] (client) — food holds its full value far longer instead of decaying linearly.
• FastMining [Mining] (client) — ore behind the frontier mines faster and can ignore the tool-tier gate.
• LongFires [Fires] (client) — fireplace fuel and hand torches last much longer.
• PortalTrail [Portals] (client) — metals and other normally non-teleportable items behind the frontier go through portals.
• CraftFromChests [Chests] (client) — crafting, building, smelters and fires pull materials from nearby containers (code adapted from AzuCraftyBoxes, MIT-0).
• ExtraSlots [Slots] (client) — dedicated equipment slots (helmet/chest/legs/cape), 2 utility slots (Megingjord + Wishbone), 3 food slots (auto-eat), 2 ammo slots and 2 plain generic bottom slots, all outside the vanilla grid so a vanilla client cannot delete them. QuickSlots (default 0) swaps the generic slots for a hotkeyed row instead. 3 rolling backups plus nvlb.slots.restore; rescues items left behind by shudnal's ExtraSlots. Panel UI adapted from shudnal's ExtraSlots (Unlicense/public domain).
• Loadouts [Loadouts] (client) — Ctrl+V / Ctrl+B save the weapon+shield in hand; V / B equip both with one key.
• CorpseRunPlus [CorpseRun] (client) — grave compass, respawn fed (Bread) + Rested 10 min, Grave Pull stamina boost that fades as you near your grave, Corpse Run buff scaled by distance home.
• Status [Status] (client) — the nvlb.status console command: world tier, catch-up settings and per-module state.
• ChestsSelfTest [ChestsSelfTest], EconomySelfTest [Economy], WorldSelfTest [World], SlotsSelfTest [SlotsSelfTest] (both) — developer self-test helpers, off by default.

Console (client): nvlb.status prints the live config; nvlb.slots.restore rolls ExtraSlots' storage back to one of its automatic backups.
