📋 About This Mod
AutoPin mod for Valheim. Detailed config. Support for all languages (changes pins per active language)
Configuration
The config file is created on first launch:
BepInEx/config/pl.rookie.autopin.cfgChanges are picked up while the game is running. Just save the file.
General
-
[]Enabled (default: true). Master switch. Press F8 in game to toggle it (ToggleKey).[/]
[]Mode (default: Hover). How pins are placed:
[]Hover: pins the object you are looking at. You only mark what you have actually seen.[/]
[]Area: pins everything within Radius (default 30 m) around you.[/]
[]Both: Hover and Area together.[/]
[]Off: no automatic pins.[/]
[]MaxDistance (default: 15 m). How far away a looked-at object can be pinned in Hover mode. Lower it (10-20 m) if you want to walk up to things first.[/]
[]ShowMessages (default: true). Short top-left message when a pin is added or removed.[/]
Immersion note: Area mode also finds objects you can't see, such as buried silver veins or scrap piles, without a Wishbone. Stick with Hover if that feels like cheating.
Categories
Every object type has its own section with the same options:
-
[]Enabled: pin this category or not.[/]
[]Label: pin name. Defaults are game translation keys, so pins show up in your game language.[/]
[]Icon: Icon0-Icon4 (fire, house, hammer, dot, rune) or Boss.[/]
[]RemoveWhenGone: removes the pin when you come back and the object is gone (e.g. ore mined out).[/]
[]DuplicateRadius: no second pin of the same category within this distance. A patch of bushes gets one pin, not twenty.[/]
What is pinned by default
-
[]Ores (hammer, removed when mined out): copper, tin, silver, obsidian, muddy scrap piles, meteorites, leviathans, lava leviathans (lava leviathan pins stay).[/]
[]Plants (dot, pins stay): raspberries, blueberries, cloudberries, mushrooms (common, yellow, blue), jotun puffs, magecap, thistle, dandelion, carrot/turnip/onion seeds, wild flax and barley, fiddlehead, smoke puffs.[/]
[]Locations (house, pins stay): burial chambers, sunken crypts, troll caves, frost caves, infested mines, putrid holes, Charred Fortress, Hildir's dungeons, Haldor, Hildir, Bog Witch.[/]
[]Boss altars (boss icon, pins stay): Eikthyr, The Elder, Bonemass, Moder, Yagluth, The Queen, Fader.[/]
[]Other (fire): tar pits (pins stay), wild beehives, greydwarf nests, body piles, dragon eggs.[/]
Adding your own objects
There are three empty sections, Custom - 1 to Custom - 3.
-
[]Set LogLookedAtObjects = true in .[/]
[]Look at the object in game and find its name in BepInEx/LogOutput.log, e.g.
Looking at: prefab 'Pickable_Flint', location '-' (collider '...')For locations (dungeons, camps) use the location name.[/]
[]Fill in a custom section:[/]
Enabled = true
Label = Flint
Icon = Icon3
Prefabs = Pickable_Flint
RemoveWhenGone = true
DuplicateRadius = 10Label can be plain text or a game translation key like $item_flint. Prefabs accepts several comma-separated names.
Good to know
-
[]Client-side only. Nothing needs to be installed on the server, and pins are saved with your character's map like normal pins.[/]
[]AutoPin recognises its own pins by Label + Icon. A manual pin with exactly the same name and icon may be treated as an AutoPin pin.[/]
[]Pins can be shared at the cartography table. Players without the mod see them translated into their own language, except Leviathan and Hildir's dungeon pins. Those two names come from the mod and show as without it.[/]
