PotatoTweaks
Farther camera zoom, 3-hour dropped items, and Ctrl + hammer remove to take apart ships and carts. Install on server and all clients.Potato Tweaks
Three small quality-of-life features for Valheim servers. Each one can be switched off on its own.
| Feature | What it does | Who sets it |
|---|---|---|
| Farther camera zoom | Zoom out to 12 m on land (game: 8 m) and 24 m on a ship. | Each player |
| Dropped items last 3 hours | Dropped items last 3 hours of world time instead of 1, so loot dropped before a night's sleep survives it. Items in a base, near a player, in tar or part of a build still never disappear. | Server |
| Take apart ships and carts | Hold Ctrl and use the hammer's remove button (middle mouse) on a raft, karve, longship, drakkar or cart. Every material is refunded and cargo drops in crates. Normal rules still apply: workbench in range, no ward or no-build zone, nobody aboard a raft. Battering rams and catapults stay protected. | Server |
