denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim
BepInEx pack for Valheim. Preconfigured with the correct entry point for mods and preferred defaults for the community.
Preferred version: 5.4.2351README
ArcanumWindmill
Simple windmill control for Valheim: ignore wind restrictions and independently adjust processing speed.
Features
- IgnoreWindRestrictions: production runs at full wind power regardless of wind intensity or shelter. Default: true.
- ProcessingSpeed: independent production progress multiplier from 0.01x to 10x. Default: 1x; 2 means double, 0.5 means half.
- No changes to recipes, barley-to-flour ratio, capacity, other crafting stations, or global weather.
Installation
Requires BepInExPack Valheim. Install through Gale, r2modman, or Thunderstore Mod Manager with its dependency, then launch through that profile.
Manual installation: copy BepInEx/plugins/ArcanumWindmill/ArcanumWindmill.dll from the archive into the same location under your game's BepInEx installation.
Multiplayer: install on every participating client and on the dedicated server with matching settings. Server-only installation is unsupported. Client-and-server installation worked in the author's test; removing the client mod caused the changes to stop working. Client-only multiplayer installation has not been tested separately.
Settings are local; there is no server config synchronization or version enforcement. The machine owning the windmill runs production, so all players should use matching settings.
Configuration
Launch successfully once to generate BepInEx/config/arcanum.windmill.cfg in your active game or mod-manager profile. Close the game/server before editing, then restart.
[Windmill]
IgnoreWindRestrictions = true
ProcessingSpeed = 1
| IgnoreWindRestrictions | ProcessingSpeed | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| true | 1 | Constant vanilla maximum-wind production progress |
| true | 2 | Double maximum-wind production progress |
| false | 1 | Vanilla production |
| false | 2 | Double current wind-dependent production progress |
Disabling the wind override preserves wind and shelter effects at any chosen multiplier.
No config file?
Confirm you launched your modded profile and look for ArcanumWindmill 1.0.0 loaded in BepInEx/LogOutput.log. The profile's config folder may differ from the Steam game directory. A patch failure in the log may indicate a game update or conflicting mod.
Notes
- Blade animation, sound, and visual state still follow vanilla weather. A windmill can look stopped while processing flour; check output to judge production.
- Vanilla processing advances in one-second steps and resets its timer after each item. Multipliers scale progress; item throughput is rounded by those steps and capped at one item per simulated second.
- Other mods changing windmill power or smelter production may conflict. Future Valheim updates may require a new build.
- Initial client-and-server testing passed. Server-only testing did not. A complete settings matrix, ownership-transfer tests, and compatibility with other production mods have not been independently verified.
