Color Blind Support
I've been playing Valheim with my friends a lot since steam release, but one of them is really struggling. He is Blue-Green color blind, and rocks, troll hides, blueberries, and most other blue things are invisible against the grass to him. He would greatly appreciate some kind of colorblind support

BengtI have a similar problem with red-green combos (so the blueberries I can see perfectly fine) so the red berries in a green bush and other red items in grass or similar I can't see unless I stumble on them by accident and get the "E" action item.
My friends asked me why I was not picking up those berries and during a streaming session they realised why...
They could see them from a long distance on the bushes but they needed to guide me to the correct bushes... -

JasonHe can’t see the sparkly stars that rise from all pick up able items? It should still be implemented tho

JoshI suffer Red/Green Color Blindness and I have hard time seeing the forest mushrooms unless I am right on top of them. Cannot agree more.

MaxI am red-green colorblind and I also would like a color blind mode. Currently raspberries are almost indistinguishable from the bushes they are in. If possible, I would prefer something that was not just a filter applied across the board to hue shift everything.

AlexI am also Blue Green Color blind and games rarely have accessibility options for tritanopia. I can only find items by their sparkle effect in grass and often just lose items entirely. I have to call some one over to help me find it, which they can do pretty quickly.
You don't have to mess with the colors really because fixing it for one group seems to screw with another. Just have a light beam extend up for about a meter. There is a mod for Monster Hunter World that is a good example of this: https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2531/images/112/112-1579259504-344088346.png -

suit1337while this is a good feature, for example people with red-green-weaknesses.
in the meantime there is always the option to do this via your graphics driver, nvidia and amd both have such options to shift color balances -

DerekHey guys, I'm colorblind as well and I play with my GF next to me so I have a good idea of what is a color issue and what isn't. It helps A LOT to turn the graphic setting "Vegetation Quality" all the way down to low. The mushrooms are hard to see for everyone when vegetation is high, but they stand out by shape with it set to low. The raspberries you can identify by the big bulbs on bushes. Those are hard for everyone to see in the dark. With vegetation high you can't see the shape as well and you have to rely on color, but with the setting to low the shape isn't obstructed by grass.
Maybe another request should be for the vegetation to not hide the resources, make the bushes and mushrooms bigger, for example.
I don't want to say that the dark reds shouldn't be less dark, they should, but this seems fine for me for now.
