🏹 Welcome to Savheim 🪓

Adaptive Progression • Dynamic Combat • Performance Optimized

Savheim is a passionately curated Valheim overhaul, delivering a completely fresh, evolved adventure while preserving the core beauty of the game. Matured and polished over years of development and four seasons of dedicated server playthroughs, this comprehensive augmentation is finally opening to the public on Thunderstore and Hexium.

✨ Core Pillars

• 🗺️ Unbound Exploration: Brave biomes in any order after Black Forest. Difficulty and crafting scale dynamically based on boss kills with seamless multiplayer scaling.
• 💥 Elemental Reactions: Mixing elemental statuses triggers explosive chain reactions affecting players and enemies, altering how you fight and gear up.
• 🏡 Elevated Building: Build without limits using unlocked base-game pieces, free rotation, precision placement, and cozy clutter—all backed by deep performance optimizations and custom wards.
• ⚔️ Combat Redesign: Enhanced, responsive combat with new mechanics for all armaments and 7 entirely new weapon classes. Vastly expanded build variety, including tanking with taunts.
• 🔮 Early Magic: Magic starts in the Black Forest. Progress as a dedicated spellcaster, healer, or a necromancer commanding a custom summoning system.
• 🏆 Quest Artifacts: Bosses guard unique armaments. Embark on custom quests to unlock their gameplay-defining power.
• 🌲 Expanded Sandbox: Ocean and more are integrated into your journey. Enjoy new biome armor tiers and elevated food mechanics.
• 🚀 Performance: Built for speed. Savheim runs smoother and faster than unmodded Valheim via custom scripts and optimizations, including multiplayer.
• 📖 In-Game Discovery: No wikis required. All new mechanics and features are uncovered and explained organically as you play.

Forget what you know. Start a fresh adventure with new surprises at every turn. Join Savheim.

Important Information

• Savheim is intended for fresh characters only. Please create a new character before joining the adventure.
• DO NOT LOAD SAVHEIM ON EXISTING WORLDS YOU CARE ABOUT. Make a fresh world after installing this modpack. It takes a while, but you only need to wait once when you first make a new world - please be patient.
• Savheim has been passionately developed over years by humans. AI was used only for minor wordsmithing and a bit of help generating some icons.

Server Owner Information

Server Owners

A different subset of mods are needed for singleplayer, a dedicated server, or a client connecting to a dedicated server. Singleplayer should use this Savheim V Full modpack exactly as is with all mods, but a dedicated server does not need all mods included in this modpack.

• Have your clients use the Savheim V Client modpack
  • You must instruct them to edit BepInEx/config/Azumatt.FastLink_servers.yml to point to your server instead of the official Savheim V dev server!
• On your dedicated server, load all mods from this Savheim V Full modpack, except for the following:
  • Client-Side-Only mods - do not put on dedicated server
    • Azumatt-MyPitsDontLeak
    • Azumatt-SaveCrossbowState
    • ComfyMods-BetterZeeLog
    • ComfyMods-Intermission
    • JereKuusela-Render_Limits
    • JereKuusela-Smoke_Collision
    • MSchmoecker-HammerTime
    • MSchmoecker-VNEI
    • Searica-DodgeShortcut
    • VentureValheim-Asocial_Cartography
    • VentureValheim-No_Damage_Flash
• Load all configs to the server.
• Your server host likely has a method of setting yourself as admin. This is useful if you want to add admin mods to your own client, like Upgrade_World, World_Edit_Commands, ServerDevCommands, or similar.
• You also want to set yourself as admin within Savheim configs. This grants access to a couple admin-only in-game commands (say !help in game), and you'll receive a unique transmog cloak at each character's first login as a badge to prove your admin status (or just to look cool). Do not skip the Valkyrie intro if you want the cloak!
  • On your server, find BepInEx/config/data/data_SH.yaml and open it. Toward the top, find the Savheim Admin List comment block and the vSavheimAdmins valueGroup below it. Add your Steam ID and save the file.
  • Optional - There's also a vSavheimTesters valueGroup below that. If you add VIP Steam IDs to this list, they'll receive a different unique transmog cloak at first login, but only if they do not skip the Valkyrie intro - tell them not to skip!
• Recommended World Modifier - Player Based Raids
  • Since Savheim lets players kill bosses in any order, other players might experience mismatched raid difficulty without this setting enabled.
• Cron Jobs
  • This modpack comes with configs for Cron_Jobs, but not the mod itself, since it doesn't make sense singleplayer or client-side. Very highly recommended that you install the Cron_Jobs mod on your server!
  • Study and tailor to your liking and timezone: BepInEx/config/cron.yaml. Documentation.
  • If your server host supports scheduled resets, it's recommended you schedule these in coordination with your cron schedule. The current cron.yaml config is set up to work well with a daily 4:55am PDT scheduled server reset, for example.
