Background

I created this mod because I got tired of having to re-light all the torches in my base from time to time when all I wanted was for it to look pretty in the dark.

Timed Torches allows you to have a global timer for any light source/fireplace that uses fuel. This means that you can finally have a village full of torches and have it light up every night when the sun sets and then turn off when it rises in the morning without constantly having to refill them with resin or other fuel sources.

Config Options

OnTime - Time of day when torches should turn ON. (The default is set to 4. 30pm in-game time)

OffTime - Time of day when torches should turn OFF. (The default is set to 6. 30am in-game time)

AlwaysOnInDarkBiomes - If true, objects listed in AffectedFireplaceSources will always burn in areas that Valheim considers 'always dark'. E.g Mistlands or any biome during a storm.

AffectedFireplaceSources - List of objects to be affected by the mod (see below for list of supported objects). By default only torches are added.

AllowAddingFuel - If true, enable adding fuel to torches which will make them burn during daytime as well.

FuelDurationMultiplier - Multiplies the duration of each fuel added to objects listed in the FuelDurationSources.

FuelDurationSources - See FuelDurationMultiplier.

Note: If OnTime and OffTime is set to the same value, for example 0 and 0 the fireplaces listed in AffectedFireplaceSources will burn 24/7.

The config file is located in "<GameDirectory>\Bepinex\config" (You need to start the game with the mod installed for the config file to be created).

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check if the mod is compatible with your current Valheim version before installing, as it hasn't been updated since 2021.
  • If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or BepInEx, follow the standard installation for Valheim mods.
  • Test the mod on a single torch first to see how the time-span setting works before applying it to your whole village.
