Runestone Base Protection

Description

Runestone Base Protection lets you surround a base with linked runestones to prevent ordinary creature spawns without scattering workbenches. Two stones form a circular field; three to eight form a polygon. Raids still occur outside the boundary and enemies can enter.

Installation instructions

• []Install the required mods listed below on the host or dedicated server and every client.[/]

  []Install this ZIP with Vortex as a BepInEx Root Mod, or extract it into Valheim’s BepInEx folder. The DLL should be at BepInEx/plugins/LinkedRunestoneProtection/BaseProtection.dll.[/]

  []Use the same Runestone Base Protection version on the server and all clients. Launch once to generate BepInEx/config/valheim.runestone.baseprotection.cfg.[/]

  Main features

  • []Place runestones for 10 Stone each, then link two to eight into a visible field. Hold Ctrl while placing for directional and corner snapping.[/]

    []Block ordinary biome spawns, including passive wildlife. Raids spawn outside and can run in; bosses and physical spawners remain unaffected by default.[/]

    []Configure individual creature exceptions and separate rules for fixed-location and physical spawners.[/]

    []Optionally provide workbench range for hammer building, removal, and structure repair. Item crafting and station upgrades still require a real workbench.[/]

    []Optionally prevent rain wear on structures or turn ordinary hostile creatures away from the boundary. Field benefits are shared, while stone linking remains private to its owner.[/]

    Requirements

    BepInExPack_Valheim and Jötunn are required on the server or host and every client. The mod was built against Jötunn 2. 30. 0. BepInEx Configuration Manager is optional for players who want an F1 settings panel; it is not needed on a dedicated server.
