Riverheim

Description

Riverheim is a comprehensive overhaul of terrain and biome generation for Valheim.

It aims to provide a definitive upgrade to the game's terrain generation but to also preserve the look, feel and balance of all the biomes. You will still be playing Valheim, but with terrain that is more varied and exciting.

Installation instructions

Install Riverheim with your mod manager as you would any other mod. If you're not using a mod manager, all you need to install Riverheim is to put the mod's dll (Riverheim.dll) into BepInEx's plugin folder.

Main features

You only need to make a new world with the mod installed and the world generation is going to be completely different:

• []Landmasses are greater in variety. Most worlds will have a few continents significantly larger than what was possible in vanilla and a scattering of smaller islands.[/]

  []Rivers now have sources and can join with other rivers at confluences as they flow towards the sea.[/]

  []Mountains are larger, more epic and tend to conform to the river network.[/]

  []Biome distribution is less random and more aware of the terrain and features around.[/]

  []Biomes are budgeted meaning worlds are guaranteed to have a certain amount of each biome.[/]

  []Greater overall variety of terrain, with steep cliffs, large swathes of lowlands, landmarks and other features meant to enhance nomap playthroughs.[/]

  []Landforms are completely unique to each seed, there's no "master map" and no repetition.[/]

  []All major platforms should be supported at least for 64-bit architectures. You can use the mod with a 32-bit system, and it will work, but multiplayer syncing has not been tested, so you're on your own here. I've also not tested the mod on Windows on ARM, but don't see a reason why it wouldn't work.[/]

  []Multiplayer is supported, but the server and every client all need to have the same version of the mod.[/]

Requirements

No configuration is available to the end user at the moment, just install the mod, create a new world and enjoy! Keep in mind, however, that the way the game generates terrain will require you to keep Riverheim (or any other terrain generation mod for that matter) on at all times. To avoid unexpected terrain changes Riverheim and vanilla worlds are two-way incompatible: you can't load a vanilla world with a modded client and vice versa. Incompatible worlds will show wit
