An experimental mod which adds an exposure debuff for weather mechanics in Valheim.
I put together a simple proof-of-concept mod to test out hooking into Valheim's weather system to drive a new Exposure debuff. The longer you are out in bad weather, the worse your stam regen and movement speed gets. Eventually you will start to lose health.
The only way to counter at the moment is seek Shelter. Build something, duck under a dolmen or into a dungeon, or simply suffer from exposure. 🙂
Right now all bad weather is treated equally.
Some biomes only have one weather pattern, so currently those don't cause exposure at all.
All Boss fight environments usually have storm systems for dramatic effect, so right now they don't count as exposure-causing bad weather.
You should treat this mod as an alpha. Not that many people have used it, and so there could be bugs. There shouldn't be any major bugs that would cause your character/world files to melt or something, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's bug-free. Do not use it with a character or world you care about without backing-up those files first.
I may develop this mod further, if people like it. Some of the ideas and suggestions include:
NOTE: Users that are upgrading should delete their config file and run the game to let the plugin generate a new one. Settings can and do change between versions, and old configs may be incompatible.

I spend countless hours every day working on, updating, and fixing mods for everyone to enjoy. While I will never ask for anyone to pay me to make a mod or add a feature, any support is greatly appreciated!
