Sounds like you and your mates made the most of the limited content, I'll raise a glass to this post as i completely feel where you're coming from, even with mods there's only so much we can do, my advice is to take a break and play another game untill more content is released or find another group to play with, don't burn yourself out on Valheim and kill your own enthusiasm.
It's obvious you're one of the good players, best of luck to you OP I hope you stick around or come back in the future <3
