Passive repair

You can activate the ward to start passive repair process of all pieces in all connected areas. Ward will repair one piece every 10 seconds until all pieces are healthy. Then the process will stop.

Passive door auto closing

All doors will be closed after specified time of the last door interaction

Active offerings

Offer the certain item to ward to have some handy effect.

• surtling core to instantly repair everything
• black core to augment all structures (double the hp, ships included)
• food to start 3 min passive healing in all connected areas. Players and tamed. Better food means better heal. Helpful if you are being raided
• mead to share the effect to all players in connected areas
• thunderstone to call the Thor's wrath upon your enemies
• trophy to instantly kill all enemies of that speccy
• Ymir flesh to instantly grow every healthy plant
• eitr x5 to instantly grow every plant regardless the requirements (empty space or biome)
• dragon egg to activate Moder power on all players in all connected areas
• several items to call a taxi to the different locations

Everything mentioned above works only inside of an active ward range. Yes you can change the range, disable the flash and always see the marker. And yes the configuration is locked if you're playing on the server.

Taxi

You can offer:

• boss trophy to travel to Start Temple (initial spawn point) (trophy will NOT be consumed)
• coins to travel to the Haldor. x2000 if you didn't find him yet and x500 otherwise (coins will be consumed)
• any of Hildir's chest to travel to the Hildir (chest will NOT be consumed)
• Fuling totem to travel to Hildir (totem will be consumed)

That will call a Valkyrie to move you to your desired destination.

After landing you will have 2 minutes to do what you wanna do.

Then you will be moved back to initial point.

If you are

• sleeping
• in dungeon
• sitting
• attached to a ship
• riding
• teleporting
• using your hammer

then the taxi will wait until you stop

You can end the flight early by pressing your binded Alternative + Use buttons (L.Shift + E by default).

You will be granted Slow Fall until you touched the ground.

Restrictions

• you can't be encumbered
• you should be teleportable
• target point should be far than 300 away
• you can't start next travel if the taxi awaits you to return to start point

Compatibility

• The mod should be compatible with anything I know as its patches designed to be noninvasive. But other mods may break the mod's functionality.

Configurating

The best way to handle configs is Configuration Manager.

Or Official BepInEx Configuration Manager.
