WardMeBruh

Ward Me Bruh! expands the vanilla Valheim ward (guard_stone) with role-based permissions, multi-ward compound linking, nested sub-wards, automated base upkeep, and configurable defense shields.

🛡️ Features

ᚱ Runic Attunement (Progression)

WardMeBruh includes an optional Runic Attunement progression system that is enabled by default. When active, newly placed wards start at Rank 0 as basic boundary markers. Players unlock advanced features, base defenses, automated upkeep, and expanded boundary radii by attuning up to 8 Elder Futhark runes at the ward monument.

> Optional System: If you prefer vanilla-style instant access where every ward has all features and maximum radius unlocked from the start, you can disable progression by setting Enable Runic Attunement Progression = false in vapok.mods.wardmebruh.cfg (or via Configuration Manager). When disabled, the attunement tab and physical pedestals are hidden, and all wards operate with full functionality immediately.

• Progression Modes (Progression Mode in config):
• Hybrid (Default): Requires both crafting the physical Keystone and having defeated the corresponding world boss.
• RunicKeystones: Requires physical craftable keystone items only.
• WorldBossKeys: Unlocks automatically based on defeated world boss keys without requiring physical keystones.
• Physical Pedestals: Attuning runes spawns stone pedestals in a circle around the ward monument with glowing, floating runestones. Automatically hidden when progression is disabled.
• Keystones: Crafted at designated crafting stations. Each weighs 200 units by default—plan your hauling accordingly (or use an Adventure Backpack, which the attunement interface supports directly).
