From Thunderstore

A Mod aiming to improve fishing experience in Valheim.



Better Fishing

An improved fishing experience for Valheim

Key Features • How To Use • Download • License

Key Features

In Valheim you earn exp everytime you reel, regardless of how difficult it was. This mod lets you farm exp while focusing on catching high quality fish instead

  • Modifiable exp multipliers
  • Exp multiplier from bait type used
  • Exp multiplier from fish grade
  • Possibility to boost the grade of a fish while hooking it (once)
  • Synced configurations with server + live update with or without configwatcher mod

With this mod, you can improve your fishing skill faster by catching better fish. Additionally you could make "training ponds", where you can throw your fish and refish them to become a better fisher.

How To Use

Valheim needs to be launched atleast once to generate files. To clone and run this application, you'll need a mod launcher like r2modman or to manually setup BepInEx and drag and drop BetterFishing.dll in the appropriate folder.

After the mod is installed, launch it with mods atleast once to generate its config files

Download

You can download the latest version of this mod on github or in thunderstore

Roadmap

I am not sure if I will continue this project further. But some ideas I have:

  • Extra items like fishing bag, rod, and others
  • Disable exp from reeling without a fish hooked
  • Some FX when a fish level is boosted

Merges are welcome if someone wants to implement something
