Beasts of Burden

A mod that allows you to attach carts to tamed boars, wolves, and loxen.

Features:

• Tamed boars and loxen can now be commanded to follow the player in the same manner as wolves in vanilla Valheim. This can be disabled via the configuration file.
• When interacting with the handles of the cart if a valid tame animal is in range the cart will attach to the nearest animal. Otherwise if the player is in a valid position the cart will attach to them.
• Animals are able to pull heavier carts than the player can, larger animals can pull heavier carts than smaller animals.

Configuration:

After launching the game with the mod installed for the first time a configuration file will be created in SteamApps\common\Valheim\BepInEx\config\org.bepinex.plugins.beasts_of_burden.cfg In the configuration you can adjust things such as:

• Which animal types you can command to follow you.
• How closely an animal will attempt to follow.
• How close the animal or player have to be to the cart to attach to it.

Installation

Like many Valheim mods Beasts of Burden relies on BepinEx and HarmonyX mod. For instructions on installing such mods see: https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/denikson/BepInExPack_Valheim/ or https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/15

Known Issues

• If a player leaves the area (e.g., teleporting or quitting) after attaching a cart to an animal the cart will detach even if other players are still in the area.
• Cart connection can be a bit jostling if detach distance setting is too high.
