PaganFastCrafting

Configurable crafting speed for Valheim. Choose between a flat craft time or skill-based scaling where each station pulls from the most relevant skill — and your combat mastery counts too!

Modes

Skill Mode — How It Works

Two layers always contribute and the best wins:

Layer 1 — Item skill (weapons and ammo only) Swords, Axes, Bows, Pickaxes, etc. If the item you're crafting has a real combat skill, that skill is in the pool.

Layer 2 — Station skill Every station has a mapped skill. Always contributes regardless of what you're crafting.

final_factor = Max(item_skill, station_skill)

This means a master crafter (Crafting 100) is fast at everything on their bench, and a master swordsman (Swords 100) is fast at forging blades even if their general crafting is low.

Station → Skill Mapping

*Incorporates Smoothbrain's Blacksmithing mod. Falls back to Crafting skill if not installed.

Skill Curve

• Skill 0 → vanilla 2.0s base
• Skill 100 → SkillDurationAtMax (default 0.85s)
• Linear interpolation between

Configuration

File: BepInEx/config/pagan.fastcrafting.cfg

Compatibility

• Smoothbrain's Blacksmithing — fully supported. Install it and forge stations automatically switch to Blacksmithing skill.
• Original FasterCrafting (1010101110.fastercrafting) — if detected, PaganFastCrafting disables itself and logs a warning. Remove the original mod to use this one.
• Historical Heritage, Hunter's Legacy, Magic Supremacy — all modded stations mapped and confirmed.
• Non-Listed modded stations - Any non listed modded stations should fall back to the vanilla Crafting skill and relavent weapon skills to determine speed increase in "Skill" mode.

Notes

Vanilla's own skill-based craft time reduction is suppressed — this mod owns the curve entirely when Mode is not Off. The m_craftDurationSkillMaxDecrease field is zeroed so there's no double-dipping.
