README

Flying Ships

A Valheim mod that lets you build and fly Viking ships. Powered by Flight Essence, a craftable fuel you need to build the ships and keep them in the air.

Works with Valheim 1.0.

What it adds

Three flying ships: Raft, Karve, and Longship
Flight Essence, a new craftable fuel
Flight physics with acceleration, inertia, banking, and hover
Fuel system with emergency landing (ships don't fall out of the sky)
Flight Essence status icon in the effects row while flying
Rudder icon hides during flight
Sail stays furled while flying
Ships bob gently when hovering in place
Onboard storage on every flying ship
Flight state syncs in multiplayer

Installation

Manual

Install BepInExPack Valheim
Install Jotunn
Drop FlyingShips.dll into BepInEx/plugins/

Mod Manager

Use r2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager. Dependencies install automatically.

How to use

Building a ship

Open your hammer, go to the Misc tab. You'll see three new ships:

Ship	Flight Essence Cost	Storage
Flying Raft	5	3x2
Flying Karve	10	4x3
Flying Longship	15	6x4

You'll also need the original materials (wood, etc.) to build them.

Crafting Flight Essence

Craft at the Forge:

1x Surtling Core
2x Iron
10x Resin

Controls

Key	Action
Page Up	Start flight / ascend
Page Down	Descend / land
W / S	Forward / backward
A / D	Turn left / right

Fuel

1 Flight Essence = 60 seconds of flight (by default)
Fuel is taken from the ship's storage first, then from your inventory
When fuel runs out, the ship descends automatically. It won't crash.

Configuration

After the first launch, edit BepInEx/config/pl.jungle.flyingships.cfg.

Compatibility

Crossplay: Not compatible. BepInEx doesn't work with PlayFab, so this mod won't work in Crossplay mode.

Multiplayer: Server and clients both need the mod installed. Flight state syncs through ZDO.

Known issues:

Other players see the ship flying, but without the bobbing animation. Only the pilot sees it.
May conflict with mods that heavily modify the Ship class.
