📋 About This Mod

What is a dungeon kit? Games like Skyrim have "kits" of hallway and room pieces that snap together to make dungeon construction faster and easier. A hallway, for example, is constructed with different pieces for one way hallways, "two way" corners, three-way T pieces, four-way intersections, etc. Rooms are constructed the same way.

Updated! (Again)

What you get in v1. 02:

There are currently 57 "blueprint" pieces:

Hallway pieces on 3x3 stone bases (v1. 0 - "RDK Halls") - 1 way, corner, 3 way, 4 way, endcaps, exits, transitions, etc. The hallway pieces are cube-shaped to allow easy placement and stacking for 3D dungeons (about two high without mods that remove structural integrity limits).

"LAR Room" pieces (1. 01), these are for constructing very large rooms or fortress walls, style and design loosely based on the Ayleid ruins of ES4 - Wall pieces, door pieces, corner, "In" corner, and some decorative pieces. These pieces do not have a ceiling. You will need mods to add a roof/ceiling if you want one. On their own they are structurally sound without mods.

1. 02 introduces "M Halls," "M Room Center" pieces, and "M Room Side" pieces. This part of the kit differs from all other kits I have played with, and they are loosely based on dungeons in vanilla Valheim. The M Halls are on 2x3 stone bases and connect M Room pieces, although they are not required.

The M Center and M Side pieces are used to construct medium-height rooms. They have a ceiling and are structurally sound without mods no matter how much you expand them. Each of these pieces is on a 2x6 stone base. M Center pieces connect to other M Center pieces and M Side pieces. M Side pieces connect to M Center pieces or another M Side piece. Some but not all center pieces have doorways. Some but not all side pieces have doorways. All doorways connect to M Halls, or you can just slap them down without hallways to connect rooms directly (like vanilla Valheim does AFAICT).

Basically for the size of rooms created with M Room Centers and Sides, one dimension will always be a stone base of 6 while the other can be between 3 and the edge of the world - two side pieces and any number of center pieces. Center doorways and Side doorways are the same size and can connect (Infinitely expand in all directions). I've tried to create a variety of centers and sides to keep it interesting. There's a throne room piece, a prison, some pillars, some lights, and you can make your own and save them in your blueprint collection.

I'll be honest with you - I'm pretty excited about this release.
