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. When a supported mod already provides Russian, its translation stays authoritative and ObeliskRU only registers missing or empty entries. A lightweight language-setup hook reapplies those small deltas after a language reload, including installations without Jotunn.

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

0.2.11

• Removed the duplicate full Russian tables for Eternal Legends 1.0.4 and Hunter Legacy 1.0.8.
• Made the native DistantOrigins Russian files authoritative for both mods.
• Retained only 11 audited missing keys for Eternal Legends and 15 for Hunter Legacy, including closed-caption tokens verified directly in their current Unity asset bundles.
• Renamed both delta files so the upstream recursive localization scanners cannot detect them as second Russian language files.
• Reused the existing startup/language-setup native-first merge; populated native strings are never overwritten.
• Updated the More World Locations AIO offline literal-audit fallback to the current 5.0.8 release; runtime version matching remains metadata-driven.
• Added no warning suppression, log filtering, frame updates, polling, or background localization work.

0.2.9

• Removed the Culinary Horizons warning-suppression patch and fixed the duplicate localization source instead.
• Stopped exposing second Russian files to the Magic Supremacy and Culinary Horizons localization scanners, eliminating their duplicate-key warnings at the source.
• Made the native DistantOrigins Russian tables authoritative. ObeliskRU now carries and adds only the audited missing or empty entries: 11 for Magic Supremacy and 33 for Culinary Horizons.
• Added a lightweight Russian-language setup hook so the small deltas survive language reloads even when Jotunn is not installed; populated native strings are never overwritten.
• Added compatibility for Magic Supremacy 3.0.7 and resolved its connection-error version from loaded plugin metadata.
• Updated the More World Locations AIO offline audit fallback to 5.0.7 and removed obsolete Traders Extended 1.x ServerSync targets.
• Kept the integration startup/language-reload only, with no frame updates, polling, file scanning, or warning filtering.

0.2.8

• Suppressed repeated Culinary Horizons duplicate-Russian-file warnings for the DistantOrigins copy while preserving the initial detection and every unrelated warning.
• Verified Culinary Horizons 1.0.2 localization against its DLL, embedded English table, and asset bundle.
• Kept Russian text ready for Distilled Valkyrie Essence, Exotic Meats, and Smoked Salad. The current upstream 1.0.2 bundle registers only Distilled Valkyrie Essence; the other two currently exist as localization entries only.
• Added no frame updates, polling, file mutation, or repeated translation work.

0.2.7

• Updated compatibility for Move Build Pieces 1.1.1, Culinary Horizons 1.0.2, Inventory Slots 1.2.4, Impactful Skills 0.9.5, and Location Placement Accelerator 1.0.24.
• Added all eight new Culinary Horizons 1.0.2 localization keys and synchronized the four changed banquet effect descriptions.
• Added the new Inventory Slots carry-limit message and removed its obsolete reclaim message.
• Retargeted the Move Build Pieces category label to its current method and translated its new server-version and confirmation messages.
• Resolved the Culinary Horizons connection-error version from loaded plugin metadata instead of a hard-coded release number.
• Removed obsolete Move Build Pieces message entries while preserving the single lightweight message-sink patch and startup-only translation architecture.

0.2.6

• 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.
• Added the Move Build Pieces placement-category label and server-protocol warning, plus the new Amazing Nature 1.3.8 Rest status name.
• Removed obsolete Amazing Nature recipe-tutorial literals after that generator was removed upstream.
• Removed stale targets for types no longer present in current Amazing Nature and Configuration Manager builds.
• Restored a clean startup literal audit with no missing targets.

0.2.5

• Fixed Amazing Nature raven tutorials when Balrond Nature Optimizer owns the tutorial creation path.
• Finalized conversion and recipe tutorial tokens once during world tutorial initialization, after deduplication and before Munin can display them.
• Removed the superseded literal replacements for tutorial titles and headers.
• Preserved tutorial identities, global triggers, prefab names, and save compatibility.
• Added no frame updates, polling, coroutines, or live UI scanning.

0.2.4

• Replaced technical Amazing Nature conversion-tutorial titles with startup-registered localization tokens before Munin or the Compendium can display them.
• Translated the Amazing Nature tutorial header and recipe page at their source.
• Migrated raw, fully Russian, and partially translated tutorial entries saved by earlier releases, including clone variants.
• Prevented duplicate clone tutorials while preserving internal tutorial, prefab, and global-key identities.
• Updated compatibility for Inventory Slots 1.1.8.
• Kept all translation work outside frame updates, with no repeated UI scanning.

0.2.3

• Restored native Russian localization loading for Passive Powers and fixed its Spirit Defense description token.

• Simplified the Thunderstore description so the package purpose and main supported mods are clear at a glance.

0.2.1

• Re-audited embedded asset fields and IL strings after comparing the localization against live VNEI output.
• Added complete startup-time coverage for Balrond Shipyard raw item, piece, storage, rope, tent, tarred-wood, banner, fishnet, and ship text.

• Added a single final Valheim localization-cache eviction and disabled the component after startup.
• Excluded configuration descriptions and preserved user-modified values.
