Everlit

Everlit

Fires and torches your players build never run out of fuel.

Torches, campfires, hearths, braziers and candles in Valheim burn fuel, and sooner or later somebody has to walk around the base with a stack of resin. Install Everlit on your dedicated server and every fire a player builds stays lit for good. The fire pits that come with the world, at abandoned camps and villages, stay as they are. Hot tubs, stone ovens and the eitr refinery keep going without fuel too, and more can be switched on: furnaces, the Deep North's frost stations and shield generators.

Your players don't install anything. It runs only on the server.

What you get

| | | |---|---| | Fires that stay lit | Every fire a player built burns forever, without using fuel. Nobody has to refill a torch again. | | Only player-built fires | The world's own fire pits, at abandoned camps and villages, stay dark the way the game made them. Switch PlayerBuiltOnly off if you want those lit too. | | Pick which fires | Switches for campfires, bonfires, hearths, torches, braziers and candles, and a list for single fire types to leave alone. | | Hot tubs, ovens and the eitr refinery too | Hot tubs stay hot, stone ovens keep cooking and the eitr refinery refines, without anyone feeding them wood or sap. Each has its own switch. | | Furnaces and frost stations, if you want | Off by default. Switch Smelters or BlastFurnaces on and those smelt without coal, using the game's own "needs no fuel" setting that the spinning wheel and windmill run on. FrostKiln and FrostFoundry do the same for the Deep North's frost stations, and CharcoalKiln keeps charcoal kilns making coal. | | New fires too | A fire is switched over as soon as it's built. | | The game's own settings | Everlit only changes settings the game already has on each fire, saved on the fire itself, and every player's game applies them by itself. By default a fire's wood burns so slowly that a full load lasts for good, so players still see it the usual way: its name, a "(never runs out)" note and its fuel, always full. Switch HoverInfo off and fires use the game's own "infinite fuel" instead (the traders' fire pits run on it), which shows no text at all when looked at. | | Bigger kilns and furnaces | Raise how much wood, ice, ore or coal the charcoal kiln, frost kiln, smelters and blast furnaces take. All start at the game's own numbers. | | More if you want it | All off by default: only inside players' wards, shield generators that never run down, fires that don't choke on smoke indoors, and fires players can turn off. | | Easy to undo | Turn Enabled off and every fire Everlit lit goes back to burning fuel. | | Light on your server | One walk of the world a minute after it loads, spread out so no frame does more than a millisecond or two of work. After that Everlit only reacts to fires as players build them; it doesn't sweep the world again. (WardedOnly adds one more walk when it's switched on, to find the wards.) |

Install

You need a Valheim dedicated server with BepInEx on it (BepInExPack for Valheim). Most server hosts have a one-click option for BepInEx.

1. Download Everlit-<version>.zip from

Releases.

1. Unzip it. Inside is a plugins/Everlit folder.
2. Copy the Everlit folder into your server's BepInEx/plugins folder,

so you end up with:

   <server>/BepInEx/plugins/Everlit/Everlit.dll

1. Start the server. In the server log you should see:

   Everlit 1.2.0 loaded

and, a minute after the world loads:

   Everlit: 86 fires kept lit (11 campfire, 1 bonfire, 8 hearth, 62 torch, 4 brazier); 86 newly lit, ...

Removing it

The switches Everlit turns on are saved with each fire, hot tub, oven and station, so they stay even without the mod. To go back to normal, set Enabled = false, wait for the log line saying they were put back (a few seconds), and only then remove the mod.

Settings

Settings live in BepInEx/config/com.cocopuff2u.everlit.cfg. The file appears after the first start. Edit it any time: Everlit picks up the change a second after you save, and says Settings reloaded in the log.
