Rowing Crew

More players aboard means more rowers. Every player on the boat helps paddle it faster.

Players aboard	Paddling speed
1	Normal
2	2x
3	2.5x
4 or more	3x

• Works on every boat, paddling forward and in reverse.
• Sailing speed is not changed.
• Requires BepInEx 5; Jotunn is not required.

Install

Install through your Valheim mod manager, then launch the game modded.

For manual installation, install BepInEx 5 for Valheim, then copy BepInEx/plugins/RowingCrew/RowingCrew.dll from this package into the matching folder in your game or active mod-manager profile. Restart the game.

Configure

Launch the game once so the settings are created, then exit. Open BepInEx/config/local.valheim.rowingcrew.cfg, or use your mod manager's config editor. Each value is a multiple of normal paddling speed, from 1 to 5:

[Rowing]
SpeedWith2Players = 2
SpeedWith3Players = 2.5
SpeedWith4OrMorePlayers = 3

Restart the game after making changes.

Multiplayer

Every player on the boat should install the mod and use the same settings. The boat's movement is handled by one player's game at a time, and that can change while you sail. Anyone without the mod paddles at normal speed while it is their turn. Nothing is needed on a dedicated server, and settings are not synchronized.

Console command

Open the console with F5. It needs the -console launch option.

• rowingcrew shows the players aboard, the speed multiplier and the boat's current speed.
• rowingcrew 4 simulates a crew of 4, so you can try the speeds alone. Run devcommands first.
• rowingcrew off goes back to counting real players. Turning devcommands off does the same.

These commands do not mark your character as cheated. Other game commands that are flagged as cheats still can.

Compatibility

Another mod that changes paddling force can stack with this one.

Uninstall

Exit the game and remove the mod. Saves and boats are not changed.
