Corvette
Buildable age-of-sail Corvette with its own three-masted hull and 20 auto-firing cannons, plus a placeable defense cannon and a towable cannon cart. Shells use the Staff of Fracturing blast.Corvette
Adds an age-of-sail Corvette and its cannons to Valheim.
What you get
| Piece | What it is |
|---|---|
| Corvette | Three-masted warship with its own hull model: 8 guns per broadside, 2 bow chasers, 2 stern chasers. Sails and handles like the Drakkar, with the Drakkar's storage. |
| Airship (Zeppelin) | The Corvette hull without masts, slung on shrouds under a canvas envelope, with a stern propeller instead of a rudder. Same 20 guns. |
| Airship (Rotor) | The Corvette hull lifted by four rotors on its yards, with a stern propeller instead of a rudder. Same 20 guns. |
| Thermite bomb | Ashlands throwable (workbench, Flametal 2, Sulfur 10, Ashwood 5). Equip and throw it like a basalt bomb: 10 s after landing it destroys everything in a 25 x 25 m square throws out Staff of Fracturing shells that split three times, and digs and levels a 20 x 20 m square to the ground height at the impact point (a shallow crater). Your buildings, ships, carts, tamed creatures and players are immune. Spawn: spawn VVLEE_ThermiteBomb. |
| Swivel gun | Small quick-firing gun that turns a full circle and fires canister (48 bolts) at anything unfriendly within 50 m - flying and small creatures first: five shots, 5 s pause. Also on every ship (8 per ship; they fire whenever anyone is aboard or within 5 m) and as a Swivel gun cart. |
| Hand swivel gun | Hand-held swivel gun: hold the attack button to fire canister continuously. Loads Refined eitr from your inventory, 30 shots per eitr. Workbench: Iron 10, Black metal 10, Fine wood 5, Refined eitr 5. Spawn: spawn VVLEE_SwivelHand. |
| Jump pack | Cape-slot equipment: ~15 m jumps, slow fall, no fall damage, +500 carry weight, 8 x 8 storage shown whenever you open your inventory. Attack with a club/hammer from more than 10 m up to slam: 10 m shockwave (300% weapon damage, stagger) and a 3 m crater that breaks trees, rocks, ore and enemy structures. 15 s cooldown. Workbench: Flametal 10, Ashwood 10, Iron 20, Surtling core 10. |
| Cannon | Placeable defense cannon, built and removed at a workbench. Wears out after 10000 shots and must then be repaired with the hammer. |
| Cannon cart | A cannon on a cart. Pull it like a normal cart; the gun points to the rear. It only fires while parked (not being pulled, not moving) with a player within 5 m. |
| Earth Staff | A staff that deals no damage and only shapes terrain: hold left click = yellow orbs that dig (and mine rocks and ore like a pickaxe), hold right click = red orbs that raise the ground. Workbench: Fine wood 10, Stone 30, Surtling core 1. Spawn: spawn VVLEE_StaffEarth. |
Use the foremast of any ship to make it your respawn point (not owned - every player can use the same ship; you respawn wherever the ship is).
Quality of life: Stash all / Sort buttons on container panels and Sort bag on the inventory (hotbar and equipped items are never moved); the camera zooms out while you steer a ship.
Every ship carries a ship's workshop on deck: it counts as every crafting station except cooking (workbench, forge, black forge, galdr table, artisan table, stonecutter) at maximum level, for crafting and for building within 20 m of the ship. Open your inventory anywhere within 20 m of the ship to craft; materials come from your inventory and the ship's chest.
Everyone aboard the Corvette or an airship gets a free ship's shield (Staff of Protection style, absorbs 3000 damage, renewed while aboard, lasts 300 s after leaving).
All cannons aim and fire automatically at hostile creatures inside their arc, with target lead and ballistic drop compensation. Shells explode like the Staff of Fracturing (cluster blast + splinters). Cannons need no ammunition.
Steering
At the helm of any of this mod's ships: Q = rudder one step to port, E = one step to starboard (15 / 30 / 60 / full). Steering with A/D clears the detent and the rudder returns to centre when you let go. Hold E for 0.6 s to leave the helm.
Flying the airships
Airships ignore the wind: thrust comes purely from the sail setting (half / full) and always pushes straight ahead.
First light the boiler: walk up to the boiler amidships and add coal (same prompt as a smelter; it holds 50, one coal lasts a minute of flight, nothing burns while the airship sits on the water). With a cold boiler an airship cannot climb, and one that runs out in the air sinks slowly.
Then take the helm as on a ship. Hold Jump (Space) to climb and Crouch (Ctrl) to descend; leave the helm with the Use key. Steering (see above) and sail settings work as on the Corvette; top speed is 150% of the Drakkar's downwind speed regardless of wind. Brought down to sea level an airship floats like a ship.
- Ceiling 800 m. Above 500 m the crew is warned; above 600 m the airship slowly loses durability.
- Airships are fireproof.
- A flying airship smashes through unfriendly things it runs into (trees, rocks, ore, creatures, enemy structures) and loses 3% durability per object broken.
- Below 50% durability it cannot climb. Below 30% it sinks slowly to 100 m and moves at half speed. Repair it with the hammer.
Vanilla Dvergr sharp stakes and Ashwood stakewalls get 5x durability and never hurt players (Stakes config section).
Building (Hammer, at a workbench)
The Corvette and the cannons unlock in the black-metal age (Plains): no Mistlands or Ashlands materials are needed. The two airships are Ashlands technology and need Ashlands materials.
