✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves the annoying ship steering with a simple auto-pilot feature.
- Toggleable mode gives you control when you want it.
- Small but active community (111 endorsements) shows it works for many.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021 – may not work with the latest Valheim patches.
- Only one feature – if you want more ship overhauls, this is just a QoL tweak.
For Valheim sailors who hate wrestling with the rudder while trying to look around. If you're tired of overshooting docks or fighting the wind, this mod makes long voyages way less stressful. Skip if you want a full ship overhaul – this is purely a steering assist.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to enable the mod in the game's mod manager (if using one) or follow standard BepInEx installation.
- Test the auto-steer in calm waters first to get a feel for how it handles before using it in storms.
- Remember to toggle it off when you need to make quick manual adjustments during combat or docking.
