This mod requires the following mods to function
denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim
BepInEx pack for Valheim. Preconfigured with the correct entry point for mods and preferred defaults for the community.
Preferred version: 5.4.2360README
Zero Skill Drain
Players never lose skill levels when they die. That's all it does.
Server-side mod. Install it on your dedicated server, or on the game of whoever hosts the world. Players joining don't need it, and installing it only on your own game does nothing on someone else's server.
How it works
Valheim lowers skills on death by the world's skill reduction rate, and the
server sends that rate to every player. This mod sets it to 0 on the server,
the same as the vanilla -setkey "skillreductionrate 0" launch argument.
That helps if your host's control panel won't let you add launch arguments.
- No config and nothing to set up.
- It's re-applied every time the server starts, after any
-presetor-modifierfrom your host's panel, so a preset can't undo it. - Players can connect with a vanilla game.
Good to know
- Achievements: a rate of 0 isn't one of the in-game menu options, so Valheim treats the world as modified and no achievements are earned on it.
- Skills already lost aren't restored. The mod only stops future losses.
- Turning it off: remove the mod. If your host's panel starts the server
with a preset, the next restart resets the rate. Otherwise start the
server once with
-resetmodifiers.
Installation
With a mod manager (r2modman, Thunderstore Mod Manager or your host's panel),
install it on the server profile. By hand, copy ZeroSkillDrain.dll to
BepInEx/plugins/ on the server and restart it.
When it applies, the server's BepInEx/LogOutput.log shows:
[Info :Zero Skill Drain] Skill drain on death disabled (skillreductionrate 0)
Support
If this saved you some time (or some skill levels), tips are always appreciated but never expected.
