At one point enough of my users had requested a rebalancing of penalties that I decided to edit those effects. Please read the section about Server Config & Version Control below.Just to provide anecdotal evidence, I made a needs mod that applied penalties via actor effect when you became hungry, tired, or thirsty (which is pretty standard, it ended up being the way New Vegas applied its hardcoe mode penalties.) The way actor effects work though, if you alter or remove the changes they make in an update, it will permanently alter the players stats if they are under any of those effects at the time of updating.You will have to wait until your hoster adapts V+ for his servers. Most server hosters do not allow you to upload script files or make your own scripts executable (for very good reasons).Make sure to start the server via start_server_bepinex.sh, else the mod will not be loaded.More on LGSM config files can be found on their homepage. If you are using, go inside your instance config file and change executable to "./start_server_bepinex.sh" to load the mod and your server arguments.This is recommended over the first approach, as updates will overwrite the start script and you would have to configure it again. If you want to define the parameters elsewhere, you can pass them to start_server_bepinex.sh as you would to the valheim server executable (description included in the file).If you intend to run the script directly, open it and edit the variables at the top (description included in the file).Make sure that all uploaded files belong to the owner and group who owns and starts the Valheim server, e.g 'chown -R steam:steam.Make sure to run 'chmod u+x start_server_bepinex.sh' to make the start script executable.Unpack the downloaded server files into your root unix valheim server folder.
