MODS?

Why can't I find mods for Valheim on the Stream site like I can for many other games? Will Steam begin hosting these mods?

Currently most/all mods are external .dll files that are inserted into the game through an external third party mod loader named BepInEx. Unfortunately, the Steam Workshop does not really allow for certain kinds of external file types to be included, and as far as I know, .dll is one of them due to the huuuuge risk of abuse. (.dll's can ruin computers pretty easily.)

On top of that, the developers have no intention currently of implementing Official mod support- All mods are used at the players own risk. Given this and the above, it's pretty much a guarantee that Steam Workshop support will never arrive for this particular game.

If you want mods, Gotta get them from external sources like Nexus or Thunderstore.

I don't know what goes on to get Steam workshop to be a thing for some games, but there are many others that don't use it. For those that don't use it, simply find the trusted site that hosts them and learn to mod from there.

For Valheim, I hear Nexusmods has a growing selection.

I know both, but I prefer Nexus, because the Vortex Mod Manager is pretty convenient.

Rather wait until the game is finished to see if it actually needs modding. Even then only if it's possible to do through Workshop on Steam.
It's not as if external sites like Nexus and thunderstore do no checking on the mods for viruses and malware and the like. I mean, You do you- Don't do external sites if you don't want to.

But at the same time, Don't go around acting like they're vile cesspools full of filth and trojans. Else, you might want to just disconnect from the internet entirely since most places have far less protection from those problematic elements than mod repositories like Nexus/Thunderstore.

Download mods on nexus
Put the files in a folder

Wait a week

Check nexus if there was a outcry because someone found bad code in a mod.
if not its 99.99999999% safe
Without that week only 99.9%

You can be sure that people sniff though all that code
Mostly modder to see how someone did something

Official FAQ of devs says they don't play official support for modding
So no steam workshop there

you realize that noone checks whats uploaded to steam workshop, right?
it's exactly the same as those external websites~~

steam workshop only helps to download and install mods without messing with files
doesn't protect you from anything

bad mods are removed from steam workshop only after users start to report, but exactly the same probably happens on external sites
In ARK survival evolved steam workshop there were already mods messing with player's IP :D Took long time to remove them

Thanks for your discussion gents...I think I'll wait a bit to see how the game develops as Semirotta mentioned.

Not true at all, plenty of games of steam workshop mod support that distribute mods as DLLs. It's simply that the devs haven't added workshop support for them.

Creature Level and Loot Control:
https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/495
bump the difficulty up to Insane - this brings in 3-star, 4 and 5-star enemies, harder bosses etc..

I did that. But I don't like frequent respawn. How can I disable it? By default, the figure is 20-respawn every day. I tried the number 0 and even 200,000. But there is still a respawn((
