Changelog

All notable changes to Fimbulwinter will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[2.0.1] - 2026-07-26

Changed

• shudnal-ConfigurationManager 1.1.15 → 1.1.16 — uses ConditionalConfigSync's effective administrator state when deciding whether server-provided hidden settings apply (avoids stale vanilla AdminList state). Requires ConditionalConfigSync 1.0.4+ (bumped alongside it below).
• shudnal-ConditionalConfigSync 1.0.3 → 1.0.4 — internal handshake/protocol reliability fixes (fail-closed replica state, disconnect diagnostics). No config or gameplay-visible change; required as ConfigurationManager 1.1.16's dependency floor.
• warpalicious-More_World_Locations_AIO 5.0.7 → 5.0.8 — rollback release: the author reverted the 5.0.7 change (setting MWL port/trader/trainer pieces to 9999 health) back to 5.0.6 behavior while reworking the protected-location damage approach. Supersedes the 5.0.7 entry below; no config schema change.
• Radamanto-Bestiary 1.1.6 → 1.1.7 — fixed the config watcher causing repeated config rewrites. No schema change.
• OdinPlus-OdinHorse 1.6.2 → 1.6.5 — adds a horse_setcolor <0-5> console command, two new config options (Horse Color for biome-specific spawn colors, Stam per Star Level) that will appear with mod defaults on next config regen, and offspring now inherit a parent's color pattern. No manual config edit needed; admins may want to review the two new options.

[2.0.0] - 2026-07-21

Ground-up rebuild on the Fimbulwinter Lite foundation (103 mods). The entire Lite QoL/UI/fix/server stack and its tuned configs replace the old equivalents, with Fimbulwinter's overhaul content (CLLC, Epic Loot, Therzie suite, creatures, locations, skills) layered back on top. All mods verified non-deprecated against the Thunderstore API; all versions bumped to latest.

Added (from Fimbulwinter Lite)

• shudnal-ConditionalConfigSync 1.0.3 (server-enforced config ownership; required by Seasons)
• shudnal-Seasons 1.8.1 (replaces RustyMods Seasonality; 7-day seasons, tuned sync policy)
• shudnal-MyLittleUI 1.2.15 (replaces BetterUI_ForeverMaintained)
• MSchmoecker-VNEI 0.17.5 (item/recipe browser)
• ComfyMods-Gizmo 1.15.0 (build rotation; reset key moved G→U for Epic Loot)
• Searica-Extra_Snap_Points_Made_Easy 2.0.5
• Azumatt-AzuAreaRepair 1.1.6
• Azumatt-AzuMiscPatches 1.2.8
• Azumatt-SleepSkip 1.3.0 (majority-rules night skip)
• ComfyMods-ComfyAutoRepair 1.0.0

• k942-MassFarming 1.11.0
• Smoothbrain-Groups 1.2.10 (party system)
• shudnal-LongshipUpgrades 1.0.17 (turrets and 2nd Forsaken power disabled per pack rules)
• Lite server tooling: shared installer (scripts/install-mods.sh), thin Pelican egg (server/valheim-fimbulwinter-egg.yaml), deploy.sh, server-autoupdate.sh, export-profile.sh, Makefile, permissions.yaml (deny-all default), upgrade_world.cfg

Removed (deprecated on Thunderstore)

• MSchmoecker-StartupHotfix, KGvalheim-ItemDrawers
• Soloredis-RtDDungeons, RtDHorrors, RtDMonsters, RtDMonstrum (author mass-deprecated the suite; RtDOcean kept)
• Horem-Fee_Fi_Fo_Fum, Horem-MushroomMonsters

Removed (superseded or unmaintained)

• BetterUI_ForeverMaintained → MyLittleUI
• RustyMods-Seasonality + Willybach-HD_Seasonality (texture pack) → shudnal Seasons
• CacoFFF-LeanNet → NetworkTweaks
• zamboni-Gungnir → Server_devcommands
• Huntardys-EpicValheimsAdditions (unmaintained since 2024-06; overlaps Therzie + official biome content)
• Korppis-ReliableBlock (unmaintained since 2022)
• Digitalroot-Eternal_Fire (redundant with AutomaticFuel; removed fuel gameplay entirely)
• Smoothbrain-TargetPortal (Lite-only convenience; conflicts with the pack's travel-cost design)

Removed (Vanilla++ preservation — keep vanilla visuals and core gameplay loops)

• shudnal-GammaOfNightLights (night lighting overhaul — vanilla night atmosphere restored)
• RandomSteve-BreatheEasy (smoke/dust/heat-wave removal — vanilla visual effects restored)
• blacks7ar-LazyVikings (auto-feeding/auto-collecting stations removed a core gameplay loop for a veteran pack)

Changed

• All shared mods now use Lite's newer versions and tuned configs (BepInEx.cfg, server_devcommands + binds.yaml/permissions.yaml, AzuEPI quick slots Alt+Z/X/C, etc.)
• Version bumps (previous → now): Jotunn 2.28.0→2.29.2, EpicLoot 0.12.11→0.12.15, RtDOcean 2.1.0→2.2.38, More_World_Locations_AIO 4.2.0→5.0.6, OdinShip 0.7.4→0.7.6, OdinHorse 1.6.1→1.6.2, SeaAnimals 0.3.4→0.3.6, TradersExtended 1.3.12→2.0.0 (major: in-game trader editor, YAML/CSV item lists, per-trader currencies and buyback), Structure_Tweaks 1.35.0→1.36.0, Bestiary 1.1.5→1.1.6, ShieldBash 1.5.2→1.5.5, MissingPieces 2.2.2→2.2.3, PlantEasily 2.0.3→2.1.1, HUDCompass 1.1.7→1.1.9, AdventureBackpacks 1.9.12→1.9.13, ConfigurationManager 1.1.13→1.1.15, Server_devcommands 1.102.0→1.108.0, Upgrade_World 1.77.0→1.80.0
• Keybind conflict resolutions for the merged pack:
  • Gizmo reset-rotation G→U (G = Epic Loot ability 1)
  • SkilledCarryWeight quick-cart V→Y (V = vanilla voice chat)
  • CircletExtended toggle light K→N (K = admin fly), overload T→Comma (T = Gizmo reset-all)
  • ShieldBash F→Middle Mouse (F = vanilla Forsaken Power)
  • BetterArchery bow zoom disabled (ProjectileTweaks owns zoom); quiver stays disabled
• AdventureBackpacks keeps the original tuned drop lists (CLLC/Epic Loot economy)
• HUDCompass: dynamic map pins stay off (Better Cartography Table owns map pins)
• Epic Loot: bounties now gated by biome boss kills (Gated Bounty Mode = BossKillUnlocksCurrentBiomeBounties) to match item-drop gating — closes an early-game currency leak; economy otherwise verified (balanced template, 20% set items, 80% unidentified + 70% materials, global drop rate 1.0)
• CLLC scaling verified: Hard + BossesKilled, 50% HP / 30% DMG per star (bosses 25/10), biome-progressive star ramps in CreatureConfig.yml, splitting 2%, Serpent/Deathsquito/Eikthyr guardrails intact
• AAA Crafting: Paginator = Off — mitigates crafting-menu search breaking (filtered list could land beyond the current page and render empty)
• ItemConfig.yml: stale "20% tax" comments corrected to the actual 10% TeleportEverything fee
• MyLittleUI: Show slots space taken = true — inventory grid now shows free/used slot count

Fixed

• ShieldBash keybind was never actually applied. The repo shipped alexbez.valheim.shieldbash.cfg (GUID alexbez.valheim.shieldbash, a different/unrelated ShieldBash build, v2.2.0) — a stale leftover the installed Mexanik-ShieldBash mod (GUID mexanik.shieldbash) never reads. All BashKey tuning, including the F→Mouse2 fix, was silently inert; the live game still ran BashKey=F colliding with vanilla Forsaken Power. Replaced with the correct mexanik.shieldbash.cfg (real 1.5.5 schema, BashKey=Mouse2 applied). The orphan alexbez.* file is deleted.
• Synced 16 configs against a fresh game-launch regen (profile Fimbulwinter-v2.0.0), pulling forward version-bump schema changes with zero loss of tuned values (verified key-by-key before merging): Raelaziel.OdinHorse.cfg (1.6.1→1.6.2), Soloredis.RtDOcean.cfg (2.1.0→2.2.38), marlthon.SeaAnimals.cfg (+33 new HP/regen keys), radamanto.Bestiary.cfg (+216 new per-creature keys), shudnal.TradersExtended.cfg (1.3.12→2.0.0, +17 new in-game trader-editor keys), vapok.mods.adventurebackpacks.cfg (1.9.10→1.9.13), warpalicious.More_World_Locations_AIO.cfg (4.2.0→5.0.6, +1 new key), _shudnal.ConfigurationManager.cfg (1.1.14→1.1.15), Searica.Valheim.ExtraSnapPointsMadeEasy.cfg (+290 new per-piece snap entries for content added since the merge — Wizardry tables, Armory forge, OdinHorse rugs, LongshipUpgrades pulleys, CookingAdditions stations, RtD/TW saplings), blacks7ar.CookingAdditions.cfg, Azumatt.SleepSkip.cfg, Azumatt.ChangelogEditor.cfg, bruce.valheim.comfymods.gizmo.cfg (also picked up isLocalFrameModeEnabled = true from live playtesting), org.bepinex.plugins.{farming,mining,foraging,resurrection}.cfg
• .gitignore: corrected config/EpicLoot/MWL_Ports/ → config/MWL_Ports/ (More World Locations writes port data at config root, not inside EpicLoot/); added ignores for Neobotics/, TherzieTranslations/, and LongshipUpgrades' asset-dump images/folders — all runtime-extracted, non-customized data confirmed present in a live profile
• Left untouched (repo already correct, live profile was simply stale): randyknapp.mods.epicloot.cfg (repo has the 2026-07-20 bounty-gating fix; live pre-dates it), ItemConfig.yml (repo has the 10%-tax comment fix), org.bepinex.plugins.sailing.cfg and drop_that.cfg (repo's design-rationale comments are stripped by BepInEx's own regen but no values differ — kept the documented version), ShutUp.cfg (live picked up log-level entries for BreatheEasy/GammaOfNightLights/LazyVikings because that profile still has their orphaned DLLs installed — resolves on next full mod resync), org.bepinex.plugins.servercharacters.cfg (repo's empty Server key is intentional; never commit a live key)

Fixed — 2026-07-21 full-pack audit

Systematic pass over every config for syntax errors, keybind conflicts, documented-rule drift, cross-mod contradictions, out-of-range values, and performance red flags.

• JSON syntax error: EpicLoot/patches/TherzieMods_2.0/Lootables_Gear_Wizardry.json had a trailing comma in the Tier6Circlets loot array — would have failed to parse at runtime, silently dropping that entire loot patch
• Keybind: SkilledCarryWeight quick-cart (Y) collided with AdventureBackpacks' own default Quickdrop Backpack = Y — pressing Y near a cart would also instantly dump your backpack's contents on the ground. Moved to Period
• Keybind: CircletExtended beam/demister controls (bare arrow keys) collided with PlantEasily's grid-resize (RightControl + arrows) — since BepInEx shortcuts fire on their own keys regardless of what else is held, every grid-resize keypress while wearing a circlet also adjusted beam width or toggled the demister. Added + LeftControl (a distinct KeyCode from PlantEasily's RightControl)
• Keybind: AzuExtendedPlayerInventory quick-slots 5 and 6 (Alt+B, Alt+N) collided with OdinHorse Saddlebags / ExtraSnapPointsMadeEasy Manual+ Snap (B) and CircletExtended Toggle light (N) — swapping gear mid-build or mid-ride would also fire those. Moved to Alt+3/Alt+4, extending the pack's existing Alt+1/Alt+2 numbering (slots 7-8) instead of claiming more letters
• Keybind: TradersExtended's new 2.0.0 in-game editor defaulted to Ctrl+P, colliding with Gizmo's bare selectTargetPieceKey = P. Moved to Ctrl+Semicolon
• Keybind (highest severity): AzuCraftyBoxes' Prevent Pulling Logic defaulted to Alt+O, colliding with the admin bind bundle (O = debugmode+nocost+god, binds.yaml). Any admin using this ordinary client convenience mod would accidentally toggle god mode / no-cost building / debug mode on themselves. Moved to Alt+Slash
• Also previously undocumented in README: AzuExtendedPlayerInventory quick slots 4-8 (only 1-3 were ever listed), AdventureBackpacks' Quickdrop key, and CircletExtended's beam-width controls — all added to the Keyboard Shortcuts table

Verified (no changes needed)

• All 46 YAML/JSON configs parse cleanly (post JSON fix)
• 556 range-bounded settings checked against their own declared acceptable range: zero violations
• 2,701 enum-constrained settings checked against their own declared acceptable-values list: zero real violations (one KeyboardShortcut false positive from the checker's comma-splitting, not an actual bug)
• Documented pack rules match actual config values exactly: death penalty (0% skill loss across all 9 Smoothbrain/blacks7ar skill mods, SmartSkills 75% recovery), TeleportEverything 10% tax, CLLC (+50% HP/+6% DMG per player, splitting 2%, boss stars 15/5/2%), Custom Raids (36min/30%), Sailing (125% base, 1.5x at skill 100, raft 2.0x), AdventureBackpacks (-0.15 speed on all 8 backpacks), Epic Loot economy (balanced, 20% set items, 80/70 unidentified/materials split, boss-gated items and bounties)
• ConditionalConfigSync's SyncPolicy/HiddenConfigs have no stale references to the mods removed this week (GammaOfNightLights/BreatheEasy/LazyVikings were never ConditionalConfigSync-managed)
• Spawn_That's tracked config stays vanilla-creatures-only per pack policy; the auto-generated per-creature sidecar scaffolds are untracked and empty by default, so no accidental modded-creature spawner duplication risk
• BetterArchery's Bow Draw Cancel Hotkey = E lives inside its already-disabled [Bow Zoom] section — its apparent overlap with ProjectileTweaks/ESPME's own E-key bindings is inert, not a live conflict
• OdinHorse's hover-context R/T/B keys are naturally exclusive with Gizmo/ESPME's build-mode-only bindings on the same letters (different equip states) — re-confirmed, not a live conflict
• Repair stacking (ComfyAutoRepair + AzuWorkbenchTweaks Auto Repair + MyLittleUI repair-on-hold) is redundant but harmless — repairing an already-full-durability item is a no-op, so three triggers on one interaction cost a negligible amount of overhead, not a bug
• BepInEx logging levels, ShutUp.cfg per-mod overrides, and NetworkTweaks/ TimeoutLimit/LocalizationCache/container-scan-range settings are all sane; no debug-level log spam or excessive scan ranges/intervals found

Changed (post-audit)

• QuickConnect UI tuned: ButtonFontSize/LabelFontSize 0→16, WindowWidth 250→384, WindowHeight 50→72, WindowPosX/WindowPosY 20→50 (matches the same change applied to Fimbulwinter Lite)
• warpalicious-More_World_Locations_AIO updated from 5.0.6 to 5.0.7 — MWL port, trader, and trainer location pieces set to 9999 health so they can no longer be broken for progression skips. No config schema change; no action needed on warpalicious.More_World_Locations_AIO.cfg.

Tooling

• scripts/deploy.sh full now calls disable_auto_update() before staging, which sets the egg's AUTO_UPDATE_MODS startup variable to 0 via the Pelican Client API. Fixes a recurring edge case: a full deploy pushes unpublished local state for testing, but if AUTO_UPDATE_MODS=1, the post-deploy restart's boot-time server-autoupdate.sh could re-sync to the latest published Thunderstore pack and clobber the test deploy. The existing local-* manifest-marker skip was meant to prevent this but isn't relied on anymore — the variable is now switched off outright. Deploy.sh does not re-enable it automatically — flip AUTO_UPDATE_MODS back to 1 yourself once testing is done and you're ready to publish.
• scripts/install-mods.sh: unzip exit status 1 (warnings-only, e.g. a dependency zip using backslash path separators) is no longer treated as a fatal extraction failure — only 2+ aborts. Extracted contents are also chmod -R u+rwX'd immediately after extraction, since some Windows-built mod zips store DOS read-only attributes that otherwise leave a directory unreadable/undeletable (hit by HappyDragoon-DragoonCapes during a deploy-full run).
• scripts/deploy.sh: server power-state wait (power()) extended from 120s to 5 minutes to tolerate slower stop/start cycles.
• scripts/server-autoupdate.sh: boot-time Thunderstore version check now retries transient failures (--retry 2 --retry-delay 2) and suppresses curl's own stderr to match the existing jq suppression, so a brief API hiccup (which the script already failed soft on) doesn't leave a scary raw curl error in the boot log.
