SurtlingBoatsPlus
Custom update to Surtling Boats: power boats with Surtling Cores, zoom the camera out, show boat speed. Compatible with Deep North update.SurtlingBoatsPlus
An update of the hugely popular Surtling Boats mod. It lets you power your boat with Surtling Cores, change the camera distance and show your boat's speed.
Power your boat with Surtling cores. Put a Surtling core (or any item you choose) into the chest of a Karve, Longship or Drakkar, take the helm and press Left Shift to switch the engine on. The engine adds thrust on top of normal rowing and sailing, so you can move faster and sail against the wind.
Features
- Separate thrust for every gear: reverse, slow, half sail and full sail.
- Fuel is taken from the boat's chest. One item lasts a configurable number of seconds, and only while the engine is actually pushing the boat.
- Toggle key (Left Shift by default) with an on-screen message.
- Wider camera zoom while steering a boat, with configurable maximum distance and zoom speed.
- HUD: the fuel item's icon under the wind indicator lights up while the engine is pushing, and the boat's speed is shown in km/h or mph.

Thrust is a multiple of the game's oar force and is added to normal propulsion. The engine does nothing in the "stop" gear.
Notes
- Made for single-player. There is no server sync: the player who owns the boat's network object applies the thrust, using their own config.
- Compatible with the Deep North update (Valheim 1.0.x) and BepInEx 5. Does not add any items or assets.
