  How To Use

  From the main menu of the game, go to Settings, then click the big "MOD" button on the top right of your screen, you can change the discovery radius by clicking on the "Minimap Discovery Radius On Foot" button. The discovery radius can also be adjusted while playing (no need to return to the main menu), I recommend putting it on x5 on boat and x2 on foot.

  The Weather Affects Discovery Radius option makes it so that weather conditions (rain, snow, mist, storm) will affect the discovery radius (x0. 8 in bad weather).

  The Time Of Day Affects Discovery Radius option makes it so that the day/night cycle will affect the discovery radius (x0. 8 during night).

  Final Discovery Radius = (On Foot Radius) (Weather Modifier) (Time Modifier)

  ex: Final Discovery Radius (x1. 6) = On Foot (x2) Rain (x0. 8) Day (x1)

  If you have the Weather or Time Of Day Affects Discovery Radius enabled you can edit their influence in the config file located in steamapps\common\Valheim\BepInEx\config\org.bepinex.plugins.tenson.biggerminimapdiscoveryradius.cfg

  Uninstall Instructions
