Pin It - Automatic Map Pins

Description

This mod marks useful places on your map as you explore. You'll never lose track of that raspberry patch, copper deposit or troll cave again. You don't have to stop and place pins by hand. Pin It! adds them as you harvest forageables or pass nearby dungeons, ores and points of interest.

Every pin uses the game's own inventory or trophy icon, so you can tell what each one is at a glance. For example, raspberries show the raspberry icon and a Troll Cave shows the Troll Trophy. The mod doesn't include any image files, because all icons come from the game.

Installation instructions

• []Install BepInExPack for Valheim if you don't have it already.[/]

  []Download Pin It! and extract it.[/]

  []Copy PinIt.dll into Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\PinIt\, creating the PinIt folder if needed.[/]

  []Start the game. The config file is created at BepInEx\config\pinit.automaticmappins.cfg after the first launch.[/]

To uninstall, delete the PinIt folder. Your pins stay on the map with standard markers.
