BreedingUpgrades Chicken Egg Fix
Keeps newly laid chicken eggs at normal quality while BreedingUpgrades continues upgrading other offspring. It can also repair existing starred chicken eggs, which can fail recipes expecting quality 1.
What it changes
- Excludes
ChickenEggfrom BreedingUpgrades' egg upgrade selection. - Prevents new quality upgrades on protected eggs.
- Optionally repairs existing protected eggs during world/inventory load and save.
- Leaves Asksvin eggs and live-born creature upgrades unchanged by default.
- Restores BreedingUpgrades 1.0.2's three console commands on Valheim 1.0.
Version 1.1.1 fixes the repair toggle for world drops and inventory loading. With repair disabled, loading an already-starred egg keeps its existing quality; new upgrades are still blocked while the fix is enabled.
Install
Install this package and the listed dependencies on the server and every client using Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modman. Use Import local mod for a downloaded ZIP, then restart the game/server.
For manual installation, put BreedingUpgradesChickenEggFix.dll in
BepInEx/plugins/BreedingUpgradesChickenEggFix/ and install the dependencies.
Current dependency baseline
- Valheim 1.0.16
- BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2351 or newer
- Dumba's BreedingUpgrades 1.0.2
Do not also install the old combined ValheimCompatibilityFixes package: it
contains the same egg fix and is marked incompatible. The separate
AzuCraftyBoxesBuildingOnly package can be used alongside this one.
Settings
After the first launch, edit
BepInEx/config/local.valheim.breedingupgradeschickeneggfix.cfg:
| Setting | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - General / Fix Enabled | true |
Enables egg protection and optional repair. |
| 2 - Repair / Repair Existing Chicken Eggs | true |
Changes existing protected eggs to quality 1 on load/save. |
| 2 - Repair / Additional Protected Egg Prefabs | blank | Comma/semicolon-separated internal prefab names to protect in addition to ChickenEgg. |
These settings are local. Copy the same configuration to the server and all clients so that whichever player owns an egg applies the same policy. BreedingUpgrades still controls the upgrade chance and star cap for other eggs and creatures.
Turning repair off preserves the existing quality of loaded eggs. Requests to change a protected egg's quality still follow the protection setting. Turning Fix Enabled off disables both behaviors.
Compatibility and removal
The console bridge specifically targets Dumba's 1.0.2 release. The newer DaiMinhTri fork was reviewed as source background; replacing the dependency with that fork has not been validated for this package.
No recipes are rewritten, and no world-wide or per-frame egg scan runs. Repair happens on ordinary item/inventory operations. Removing the add-on and restarting lets BreedingUpgrades upgrade chicken eggs again. Quality already removed by repair cannot be restored automatically.
