Concerned Cartographer

Public beta by The Concerned Cat. Actively maintained on the road to v1.0 and beyond.

Concerned Cartographer turns Valheim’s map into a living atlas.

The roads your Vikings build can map themselves. Existing pins can become durable, editable entries with notes, categories, tags, search, saved views, and recoverable deletion. Routes can follow your recorded road network, and selected atlas information can be shared with other players through an explicit preview-and-apply process.

Highlights

Dirt paths and paved roads appear as separate map layers.
Roads are captured as you build, walk, or rediscover them.
Existing vanilla pins can be upgraded and edited without being recreated.
The Atlas Drawer provides search, filtering, clustering, and saved views.
Freehand and waypoint routes can follow recorded roads.
Backups, restoration, migration, and sanitized support reports are built in.
Multiplayer sharing is deliberate: nothing is applied without review.
Fog of war is respected.
World saves are never modified.
Removing the mod leaves managed pins usable as ordinary vanilla pins.

See it in action

A road being paved in the forest, then the map opening to show the same road already drawn as map ink

Build a path in the world, open the map — the road has already mapped itself.

The Atlas Drawer over the map, with layer toggles for dirt roads, paved roads, pins and clustering, plus search and saved views

The Atlas Drawer: per-layer toggles, atlas search, clustering, and saved views in one panel.

The New Marker palette listing categorized marker types such as Fire, Camp, House, Farm, Portal, Harbor and Road/Junction

The marker palette: categorized, searchable marker types placed by double-clicking the map.

The Routes panel with a named freehand route drawn as a dashed line across the map to a port, with style, snap-to-roads and editing controls

Routes are planning overlays — freehand or waypoints, styled and named, with snap-to-roads. They never move your character.

The Survey panel showing pending observations awaiting review, with accept and reject controls for each

Survey finds nearby points of interest as pending observations — nothing becomes a marker until you accept it.

The Survey panel after accepting, with the accepted observations now visible as named markers on the map

Accepted observations become ordinary editable markers on the map.

Multiplayer sharing is deliberate: preview every incoming share and choose how conflicts resolve — nothing is ever applied automatically.

The Settings panel beside the crash-reporting consent dialog, which lists exactly what is and is not sent and offers a turn-off button

Settings with backups, a sanitized support bundle, road-repair tools — and opt-in crash reporting that spells out what is never sent.

Beta status and support

This is a real public release, but it is also the first large-scale community test of the complete atlas.

Development and compatibility support will continue through the stable v1.0 milestone and beyond. Confirmed crashes, data-loss risks, installation failures, stuck input, duplicated pins, and multiplayer consistency problems receive the highest priority.

Report ordinary bugs and compatibility problems through the GitHub issue tracker:

https://github.com/Weakened/ConcernedCatMods/issues

Run cc_atlas support to create a sanitized report containing versions, settings, and counts—but never coordinates, names, pins, routes, or notes.

Crash reporting is optional, disabled until the player explicitly opts in, and contains no gameplay analytics.
