Hearthhold

Stardew Valley style quality for Valheim's food. What you gather, harvest, hunt and cook comes plain or with one, two or three stars (bronze, silver, gold). Better ingredients and a better cook make better food, and starred food is worth more when you eat it, sell it or give it away.

Requires GrindstoneSkills: its Foraging, Husbandry, Farming, Fishing and Cooking levels decide the stars.

Features

• Stars on wild picks, honey and sap (Foraging), crops (Farming), meat (Husbandry and the creature's own stars) and fish (the catch's size, when it is cleaned).
• Dishes and meads roll their stars from the cook's Cooking level and the stars of the ingredients; your best ingredients go in first.
• Meads keep their base's stars from the fermenter.
• Eating: each star adds 10% health, stamina and eitr and makes the food last 10% longer.
• Meads: each star makes healing and restoring meads stronger and lasting meads last longer.
• Stars are shown on icons, tooltips and items on the ground in bronze, silver and gold, and starred items stack apart.
• Everything is decided on the server or the object's owner, so it works the same for everyone in multiplayer.

Content

• Daily Fortune: each day the Norns grant Ill-omened, Poor, Fair, Good or Blessed fortune, the same for everyone, nudging every star roll. Type fortune in the console to see today's.
• Professions at level 100: Botanist (wild picks always gold), Tiller (crops at least silver), Rancher (meat at least silver), Gourmet (dishes and meads at least silver), Angler (cleaned fish at least silver).
• Shipping Crate: a chest that buys your starred goods at dawn for coins; more stars pay more.
• Trader friendship: give Haldor, Hildir or the Bog Witch a starred dish once a day for up to ten hearts and a discount of up to 10%.
• Aging Cask: meads and wines left in it gain a star every two days, up to gold.

Possible later feature

• Bundle Hall: a hall of bundles to fill with starred goods ("Meadows forage: bronze raspberries, mushrooms and dandelions"), each finished bundle unlocking a lasting reward. Not in the mod yet.
