📋 About This Mod
Valheim Bigger Chests
https://github.com/robclancy/valheim-bigger-chests
Bigger chests, ship storage and carts to help with the tedious chest spam. New sizes are to help with feeling a little more freedom while hoarding, while not being overpowered and staying within the spirit of the game.
!! WARNING !!
This mod should be installed on the server and all clients, otherwise items in the extra slots can potentially be deleted.
------------
You should always use the latest version of bepinex.
Normal Chest
5x3. 1 Extra row added. This chest feels way too small when it's the main one you use over and over again, but we don't want to make the upgrade pointless, so it is still relatively small.
Reinforced Chest
7x4. Extra row. The original 6x3 6x4 barely felt like an upgrade while also costing 2 iron, making it not worth it compared to just making 2 normal chests.
Black Metal Chest
8x4. Default size. I would increase it slightly however this is basically the max size we can use, I don't want to have it use scrollbars, that sounds terrible.
Unfortunately this new chest added in the Hearth & Home update makes the reinforced chest OP, but I can't reduce sizes as it would delete peoples items.
Personal Chest
5x2. 2 extra columns. The original 3x2 made this chest almost useless and very expensive for what I assume is the main use case, holding your loadout beside your bed. I updated it to be able to hold at least a full loadout.
Cart and Viking Ship
8x4. Made these big because it just makes sense and the cart has weight debuffs anyway, so having more slots won't hurt the balance.
Karve
3x3. The original 2x2 is tiny and 3x3 doesn't really help that much but feels less restricting.
Installation
Working with https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/ebkr/r2modman/. Assumed working with Nexus Mod Manager.
