📋 About This Mod

PlanBuild

PlanBuild enables you to plan, copy and share your building creations in Valheim with ease. The mod adds two new tools to the game. The Plan Hammer is used to plan your creations before actually gathering all the materials. When you are happy with your build, you can add the required building materials one by one or use a custom totem to automatically build the pieces for you. The Blueprint Rune lets you copy, save or delete your creations as a single building piece which can also be shared with other players using the mod and also includes terrain modification tools for quick and more precise terraforming without using the Hoe or Cultivator.

Planning

Introducing a new item, the Plan Hammer, which can be crafted from a single log of wood and the blessing of Odin shining upon you.

Plan the construction of pieces without the need to gather the resources first. Anyone can add the required resources to the planned structure later and finish the construction after it was placed.

The Plan Hammer is compatible with custom piece tables from other mods. All custom pieces will be incorporated into the runes table for the planned pieces. You still need a Hammer and the required crafting station to finish the construction.

Planned pieces that are unsupported can not be finished. These pieces are also slightly more transparent so you can see what is and isn't supported. The planned pieces themselves do not require support, so you can build forever (if you can reach far enough).

Real pieces also snap to the planned pieces, so you could even use them as spacers or rulers.

Plan Totem

Build a Plan Totem near your planned structures to be able to add resources in a centralized location for all individual pieces on the plan.

It will also protect existing structures. Any piece that is destroyed (not removed by the Hammer) will be replaced with a plan for that same piece in the same place!

This needs to be built with the vanilla Hammer tool and costs you 1 Wood and 1 Grey Dwarf Eye.

Skuld Crystal

Includes the Skuld Crystal, a wearable item that removes the shader effect from the blueprints, so you can see what the construction will look like when completed.

Create it from a single Grey Dwarf Eye.

Watch your step! The pieces are still not really there, and will not support you!

Blueprinting

Introducing a new item, the Blueprint Rune, which can be crafted from a single stone and festering willpower given to you by the gods.
