Compass by aedenthorn - Repack by ValheimAddicts

About this version

This mod was originally written by Erinthe (aedenthorn) on Nexus-Mods (see link), also distributed on Thunderstore under the name aedenthorn_mods.

Unfortunately the Thunderstore version isn't packaged correctly, losing the subfolder structure of the mod on install. By this the mod will throw exceptions when starting the game and also messing up the game interface.

ValheimAddicts simply repacked the mod to maintain the correct structure after installation. The mod is provided as-is. For support, thanks and praises see the link to the official mod page.
