📋 About This Mod
Stamina quality of life, fully configurable. Faster regen, no drain while encumbered, free building tools, and action costs that drop as your skills grow. Rebuilt for the current game version. Client-side.
Description
A configurable stamina mod, rebuilt for the current version of Valheim. It speeds up stamina regen, removes stamina drain while encumbered, makes building tools free, and lowers the stamina cost of actions as the matching skill grows. Every value is set in a config file.
This is an updated rebuild of Better Stamina by bakaSpaceman, whose original had stopped working after the game updates. All credit for the original mod goes to them. Original page: nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/153
