Marsarah Mod v3.1.0

The purpose of this mod is to make Valheim feel less grindy in general and to add interesting features to the game. This is mostly intended for subsequent playthroughs, as I recommend the vanilla experience for a first playthrough.
Short description: 
● Adds the following info to HUD: 
  - time of day, smart biome text indicator, inventory weight and slots, enemy detector, boat speed
  - HUD toggleable with the Insert key
● Modifies the amount of resources needed to craft or upgrade gear, as well as some build pieces. Most of the resource reductions for gear are made for metal. 
● Some items have their required resource types changed to match the biome they are in. For example, a Silver Sword will not require Iron anymore, but Obsidian. 
● Double bronze crafting
● Iron age back piece with poison resist
● Heavy armor speed penalties removed. Light armor speed buffs
● Battleaxe and Shield speed penalties reduced
● Shorter Forsaken powers cooldowns and longer durations
● Lighter metal weight
● Faster character walk speed
● Larger pickup area
● No skill level down when dying

The mod is split in sections which can be enabled/disabled individually in the config file (all are enabled by default). This file is created automatically when the game is run with the mod installed for the first time.

[Main Mod]

[Cheaper Gear Recipes]
● Reduces the amount of resources needed to craft or upgrade gear, especially for metal. This does not modify the type of resources needed, just the amount.
● Most metal resource requirements are reduced to half (for the majority of items). 
● Other non-metal resource amounts are either increased or decreased where needed for the sake of balance.
● Specific changes can be found in the readme file in the Docs section.

[Double Bronze Crafting]
● Outputs double the amount of Bronze when smelting Copper and Tin at a Forge. 

[Alternate Gear Recipes]
