Sledding

Sleds for Valheim: ride down snowy mountains, steer, brake and drift, or pull your sled along on a rope. Four sleds from the workbench to the artisan table, the great one for two riders. A straight drop breaks a sled; a steep slope is a slide.

CHANGELOG

Changelog

1.0.0

  • First release: four sleds in the hammer's Misc tab. The wooden sled (workbench), the bronze-shod sled (forge), the mountain sled with silver shoes and a wolf pelt (forge) and the great sled for two with carved bow posts (artisan table).
  • Riding: E to sit down. A/D steer, W kicks off, S brakes, Shift ducks, Space or E jumps off. The sled glides on snow and ice and needs a real hill on grass and earth. It drifts wide in hard turns at speed instead of spinning round. Hiss and scrape sounds and snow spray, for everyone nearby.
  • Pulling: Shift + E takes the tow rope; a friend may sit on the sled meanwhile. E on the sled you pull lets go and sits you down.
  • Falls are judged by the speed straight into the ground. Sliding down a steep mountainside is never a fall. A drop of 6 m onto flat ground is harmless, from 15 m the sled breaks. Riders are hurt then, or when they crash into a tree or rock at speed, but a sled never kills.
  • A broken sled leaves half its materials and its cargo. An empty sled holds on any slope a player can stand on, and turns itself upright when it lies on its side.
  • Small cargo on the small sleds (2 to 4 slots), a real load on the great sled (8 slots), shown as bundles on the deck.
  • Recipes, stations, cargo sizes, top speed and the fall heights can be configured (server-synced). Texts in English and German.
