About ToolTweaks

From Thunderstore

Simple mod that lets you customize stamina cost, durability drain, and usage delay for tools. Can sync configuration settings to client if installed on server.

ToolTweaks

Simple mod that lets you customize stamina cost, durability drain, and usage delay for tools. Will work with tools added by other mods (so long as other mod authors set the item type to Tool). This mod is very similar to existing mods like FastTools but instead of using Transpiler patches it relies on Prefix/Postfix patches to avoid causing visual bugs when using tools like the Hoe. If installed on a server then the mod will use Jotunn to sync configuration settings to all clients.

Server-Side Info: This mod does work as a client-side only mod and only needs to be installed on the server if you wish to enforce configuration settings.

Instructions

If you are using a mod manager for Thunderstore simply install the mod from there. If you are not using a mod manager then, you need a modded instance of Valheim (BepInEx) and the Jotunn plugin installed.

Configuration

Changes made to the configuration settings will be reflected in-game immediately (no restart required) and they will also sync to clients if the mod is on the server. The mod also has a built in file watcher so you can edit settings via an in-game configuration manager (changes applied upon closing the in-game configuration manager) or by changing values in the file via a text editor or mod manager.

I'm a grad student and have a lot of personal responsibilities on top of that so I can't promise I will respond quickly, but I do intend to maintain and improve the mod in my free time.
