This mod requires the following mods to function
denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim
BepInEx pack for Valheim. Preconfigured with the correct entry point for mods and preferred defaults for the community.
Preferred version: 5.4.2350README
BoarBreedingUnlimited
Removes the built-in population cap that stops tame animals from breeding once a few of them are nearby.
What it does
Vanilla Valheim caps breeding at 4 nearby animals of the same species. Fill a pen with 4 boars and they simply stop reproducing. This mod bypasses that check, so a well-fed and happy pen keeps producing offspring indefinitely.
Applies to every creature that uses the Procreation component: boars, wolves, lox, and chickens.
Configuration
The config file is BepInEx/config/com.honeymanmods.boarbreedingunlimited.cfg. It is created the first time you launch the game with the mod installed. You can edit it in Thunderstore Mod Manager / r2modman (Config editor), or in-game with ConfigurationManager (F1).
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
LimitPopulation |
false |
false = unlimited breeding. true = use the cap below. |
MaxCreatures |
20 |
Cap per species in the local area (range 3-100). Only used when LimitPopulation = true. |
Tips for MaxCreatures:
- Vanilla is about 4.
- The parents count toward the cap, so 3 is the lowest value that still allows breeding.
- 10-30 is a good range for a pen.
- Above ~50 animals in one spot, most PCs start to lag.
- The cap counts each species separately and only looks at nearby animals, so separate pens are capped separately.
Install
Recommended: install via Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modman.
Manual: drop BoarBreedingUnlimited.dll into <Valheim>/BepInEx/plugins/.
Server / multiplayer
- Singleplayer / player-hosted: install on the host.
- Dedicated server: install on the server. Client-side install is optional (won't hurt, but the server owns breeding logic).
Warning
Uncapped breeding means a pen left unattended will grow without bound. Large numbers of active creatures hurt performance. Cull manually as needed.
