Always Usable Crafting Stations


Vanilla Valheim requires players to meet certain usability conditions for crafting stations, and this mod is used to get rid of them(e.g., you can place a workbench down and use it without building walls or roofs around it).

Installation

  • This mod requires >>BepInExPack<< to work. Follow the BepInExPack installation instructions, then place the AlwaysUsableCraftingStations.dll into the Valheim\BepInEx\plugins folder.
