ObeliskRU

Russian localization pack for supported Valheim mods. It translates player-facing names, descriptions, messages, tooltips, tutorials, interface text, and closed captions while leaving mod configuration options unchanged.

Supported mods

• Balrond mods: Amazing Nature, Arsenal Reborn, Constructions, Dual Mastery, Furniture Reborn, Humanoid Randomizer, Lightkeeper, and Shipyard.
• Azu mods: Area Repair, Auto Store, Crafty Boxes, Workbench Tweaks, Build Camera, First Person Mode, and Perfect Placement.
• Adventure Backpacks, Creature Level and Loot Control, Culinary Horizons, Epic Loot, Eternal Legends, Hunter Legacy, Impactful Skills, Inventory Slots, Jotunn, Magic Supremacy, More World Locations AIO, Move Build Pieces, Odin's Steelworks, Passive Powers, Plant Easily, Plant Everything, Valheim Armory, VNEI, XPortal, and several smaller utility mods.

Every supported mod is optional and detected automatically. ObeliskRU works with or without Balrond Nature Optimizer. Unsupported or missing mods are skipped safely.

Installation

Install the package with Thunderstore Mod Manager, Gale, r2modman, or another Thunderstore-compatible manager. BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2333 or a compatible version is required.

Fully restart Valheim after updating the package so mods such as VNEI can rebuild their cached item and tooltip data with the translated text.

Compatibility and performance

Translations are prepared during startup and the localization component then disables itself. There are no per-frame translation methods, UI polling loops, file watchers, or background translation tasks. Existing Compendium entries from older versions are updated when a character is loaded.

Internal prefab names, network identifiers, hashes, skill IDs, and other save or multiplayer identities are preserved.

Changelog

• Updated compatibility for Move Build Pieces 1.0.23, Jotunn 2.29.2, More World Locations AIO 5.0.6, and Amazing Nature 1.3.8.
• Resolved Jotunn and More World Locations version literals from loaded plugin metadata, with current-version fallbacks for offline validation.
• Centralized all Move Build Pieces 1.0.23 notifications at its lightweight message sink, including new network, timeout, safety, and cancellation messages, without patching its per-frame update method.

• Restored a clean startup literal audit with no missing targets.

0.2.5

• Removed the empty duplicate Amazing Nature fermenter tutorial and prevented new empty clone tutorials from being created.
• Rewrote the package description and README for general public use.

0.2.2

0.2.1

0.2.0

• Rebuilt the localization core after decompiling and auditing the supported plugin assemblies and the relevant Valheim game assemblies.
• Added external dictionaries, embedded resources, native mod-localizer adapters, hardcoded and composed strings, MWL tutorials, categories, slot labels, status effects, and prefab display fields.
• Replaced legacy runtime hooks, UI-open handlers, global object scans, and repeated translation work with startup-only registration and constant replacement.
