Marriage
Get married, form Households. Proximity buff system for Valheim that rewards loyalty, survival & playing together.
Marriage lets players form Households (family-style groups) that gain shared bonuses when nearby, build long-term bonds over time, and feel the loss when one of their own dies.
CORE
- Voluntary Households (marriage-style grouping)
- Family proximity buff when household members are nearby
- Tier'd bonuses that scale with shared survival time
- Mourning debuff when a household member dies
- Fully server-authoritative and multiplayer safe
- Dedicated-server compatible
