SaunaMod

Finally, a real Viking sauna in Valheim. Heat the stones, pour on the water, and upgrade your sauna with traditional bathhouse items. Steam yourself, and carry the warmth and its benefits with you. Vanilla-flavoured, configurable and multiplayer-ready.

CHANGELOG

Changelog

2.1.0

  • Added the Too hot status effect: steaming with clothes or armor on deals damage and blocks steam healing and Well steamed progress
  • Skin now gradually reddens while steaming and cools back afterwards
  • Fixed sauna piece recipes not being applied at startup
  • Improved Finnish translations

2.0.1

  • Mod description changed

2.0.0

A major sauna progression update.

  • Added Sauna whisks, a new buildable sauna upgrade made from 5 Fine Wood and 1 Bronze Nail
  • Added the Sauna bucket with ladle, a new buildable upgrade made from 5 Iron and 10 Fine Wood
  • Sauna whisks now improve Well Steamed: they remove the recovery penalties from Wet and unlock the 15-minute warming tier
  • Without whisks, Well Steamed tops out at 10 minutes; with whisks, it can reach 15 minutes
  • Added a localized maximum-steam message when the player reaches the best warming tier available to the current sauna
  • The sauna bucket increases the amount of steam released by a pour
  • The bucket can now be infused with supported resistance meads; the next pour carries the mead through the sauna steam and shares its vanilla resistance effect with nearby sheltered players
  • Supported infusions include Poison Resistance Mead, Frost Resistance Mead and Fire Resistance Barley Wine
  • Resistance effects delivered through the sauna last 20% longer by default; the multiplier can be changed in the config
  • Added conditional Sauna Comfort: whisks and bucket each add +1 Comfort, but only near a burning sauna stove while sheltered
  • Sauna Comfort can be disabled from the config
  • Added nekitker.saunamod.cfg with settings for Well Steamed timing, steam healing, steam detection and grace time, effect durations, mead duration, steam behaviour, cloud counts and limits, comfort, recipes and the in-game editor
  • All SaunaMod configuration is synchronized from the host or dedicated server to clients
  • Added configurable recipes for every buildable SaunaMod piece; both ingredient types and amounts can be changed
  • Added an optional lightweight in-game editor for tuning and testing, enabled from the config and opened with F7
  • Updated Well Steamed tooltips so whisk-specific benefits are shown only when the effect was earned from a sauna with whisks
  • Added clearer bucket interaction messages, including feedback when a non-resistance mead is used
  • Added full Finnish localization alongside English, Russian, German and Spanish
  • Refined item names, descriptions and status-effect text across all supported languages
  • Improved sauna whisk visuals by restoring the intended birch-leaf material and making the vegetation-based parts stable across different systems
  • Sauna upgrades, mead infusion and synchronized settings are multiplayer-ready

1.1.3

  • Returning to the steam no longer starts from scratch: the time you already have counts, so topping up a nearly full effect takes one short sit instead of three
  • Well steamed no longer counts down while you are still in the steam room
  • Steaming now requires shelter: a steam bath needs a roof over your head

1.1.2

  • The stove now warms a wider area, closer to a campfire

1.1.1

  • The stones now glow only while the stove is burning; once the fire dies they darken to coals

1.1.0

  • Steam now rolls out low and wide and fills rooms evenly, large ones included
  • One pour keeps the room steamy for about forty seconds — enough to get well steamed
  • Steaming is more forgiving: stepping out of the steam for a moment no longer resets your progress

Everyone in a session must update: 1.1.0 is not compatible with 1.0.0.

1.0.0

First release.

  • Sauna stove, buildable from the hammer (Furniture tab)
  • Pour water with Shift + E to fill the room with steam
  • Steaming and Well steamed status effects
  • Steam gathers under a roof and does not choke you
  • Full multiplayer synchronisation
  • English, Russian, German and Spanish
