ValheimRAFT Temporary Patch

Temporary hull and piece-loading fixes for official ValheimRAFT 5.0.7 on Valheim 1.0.16. Keep the original ValheimRAFT installed and enabled. Install this addon on the server and every client. This is an independent temporary update, not an official ValheimRAFT release. Sail behavior is unchanged.

Included fixes

• Flat, duplicate or incomplete hull points no longer throw and leave a boat stuck rebuilding. Existing collision geometry is retained until replacement geometry is ready; new boats retain their initialization safeguards.
• Hull generation handles a valid four-point hull and complete complex hulls.
• Repeated vehicle piece registration no longer duplicates piece entries, fireplace registrations or wheel registrations. Pending piece ownership and activation remain protected.

Installation

1. Close the game and stop the server.
2. Keep zolantris-ValheimRAFT 5.0.7 installed and enabled.
3. Import this ZIP as a local mod in Thunderstore Mod Manager, or install its package after publication, in each client and server profile.
4. Start modded. The log must contain Loaded compiled repair for official ValheimRAFT 5.0.7 from ValheimRAFT_TemporaryPatch.

For manual installation, merge BepInEx/patchers into the profile's BepInEx folder. The loader DLL and its .payload file must stay together.

This addon checks both original DLL fingerprints and the compiled repair hash. Unknown versions or modified originals are left unchanged with a warning. The repair is inactive when its expected success message is absent. Do not install a second copy or manually overwrite the original mod's DLLs.

Anchor Fix: this package does not install or change Anchor Fix. If that addon is used, version 1.1.1 is required to recognize this repaired assembly. Version 1.1.0 does not recognize it.

Removal and later updates

Disable or remove this addon and restart to use the original mod again. Original plugin files, settings and assets are never overwritten. Inactive copies under BepInEx/cache/RaftTemp are harmless and may be removed while the game is closed.

When an official ValheimRAFT update includes these changes, remove this temporary addon. It deliberately does not apply to newer or unidentified assemblies.

Source and validation

The payload is compiled from ValheimRAFT source commit 298b0403adc4e28bfc8aa884eab9ecf807331b98, with the accompanying source patch. The supported original binary is the official Thunderstore 5.0.7 package. It retains ValheimRAFT's assembly identity and original plugin GUID. The main asset bundle is embedded; optional textures continue to load from the original mod's folder and configuration.

See PROVENANCE.md and VALIDATION.md for exact hashes and test limitations. ValheimRAFT source is licensed under GPL-3.0; original notices are preserved. The loader source is included under source/. This package should be distributed with its matching corresponding-source archive.
