RtD Oceans & Cuisine Expansion
A full ocean and biome cuisine overhaul for Valheim
OVERVIEW
RtD Oceans & Cuisine Expansion transforms the oceans into a living ecosystem
and expands every biome with unique crops, regional dishes, sea creatures,
predators, relic progression, and a powerful ocean boss encounter.
The ocean is no longer empty.
Every biome now has identity through food, farming, and sea life.
