📋 About This Mod
Castleheim allows you to enjoy your next Valheim playthrough without needing to build your own base. There are 9 fully functional castles, complete with storage rooms and basic crafting stations so that you can repair your gear while traveling. Every biome has at least 1 castle you can use for a safe haven, and there are multiple mini-bases scattered throughout the map. Paved roads connect every castle and base found on the starter continent.
-Each castle is raid resistant and was built with fire hazards turned on.
-Black marble statues are scattered near the paved roads. These statues always face North!
-Statues in the ocean have a blue light that faces north, and a red light that faces south!
The only mod you will need to download in order to play Castleheim is "MoreGatesExtended" by Shudnal. This mod adds the drawbridges and gates that are used in Castleheim. No other mods are needed.
