Valheim Map Rings

A thin web of rings on the world map, centred on the middle of the world, at the distances the game uses when it builds the world. Looking for a trader? Their ring tells you where not to bother searching.

Rings

Traders (on by default, each one can be switched off):

Ring	Distance
Haldor	never closer than 1500 m
Hildir	between 3000 m and 8000 m, in Meadows
Bog Witch	between 3000 m and 8000 m, in Swamps

Biome boundaries (off by default). A solid ring is where a biome may start, a dashed one is where it can no longer exist. Rings marked ~ wave by up to 100 m, 20 times around the world, exactly as the world generator does.

Distance	Boundary
600 m ~	Black Forest may start
1000 m	Mountains reach full height (1500 m in the oldest worlds)
2000 m	Swamp may start
3000 m ~	Plains may start
5000 m ~	Meadows end, anything else becomes Black Forest
6000 m	Swamp ends (8000 m in the oldest worlds)
6000 m ~	Mistlands may start
8000 m	Plains end
10000 m	Mistlands end, the land fades into the ocean
off-centre	Ashlands (south) and Deep North (north)

All distances are read from the running game (trader locations, world generator thresholds for your world's version), so they stay right if a patch or another mod changes them.

Labels sit on each ring at the point closest to the middle of your view, so the rings around what you look at are always named.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/Tchernobill.Valheim_MapRings.cfg, or in game with ConfigurationManager (changes apply immediately): each trader, the maximum distances, the biome boundaries, the Ashlands and Deep North edges, labels, line width, opacity, label size and trader colour.

Multiplayer

Client side only, nothing is stored or sent. Other players do not need the mod.
