v1.6.5 — Free Bat Flight and Fenrir senses

Races of Valheim developer

The old bat flight is back as a choice, the Fenrir forms sense nearby creatures, and the Grafvaettir's drones finally dig copper and tin. The drones were tested in game; the bat flight and the senses were not, so please report what you find.

Free Bat Flight​

Turn on Free Bat Flight under Aswid - Bat Form and the bat flies the way it did before v1.6.1: up to 50 m/s with Shift, no stamina cost, no weight limit. Jump rises, Left Ctrl sinks. Handy for building tall. Monsters still see, chase and hurt a free-flying bat.

Each player picks their own. The server's Bat Flight Rule can decide for everyone: PlayerChoice (the default), AlwaysStaminaFlight or AlwaysFreeFlight. A change counts from the next time you become a bat. Thanks to MrBiffty for the idea. See Aswid.

Fenrir senses​

Every Fenrir form (Wolf, Ulv, Fenring, Cultist) now lights each untamed creature within 100 m with a green glow, the same senses the Aswid gets at Moder. The human shape does not have them. The radius is under Fenrir - Superhuman Senses. Thanks to MrBiffty's friend for the idea. See Fenrir.

Grafvaettir fix​

After v1.6.4 the drones found the deposits but still did not break them. Several things were in the way: they hovered just out of reach (a flying creature keeps a few metres above whatever is under it, rock tops included), their blows never reached the rock, and a copper vein's broken pieces did not count as copper. They now fly low, their blows land, and they clear a whole copper vein, pieces included. Drones that lost their job when their area unloaded now remember it, and a throw on cooldown tells you how long is left. Editing Mining Targets now works without restarting the game.

Tested in single player on tin and copper. In multiplayer, throwing them at a vein another player's game is handling has not been tested yet. Thanks to snakey for the reports and the testing. See Alfar.
