Ever wanted to change the most simple values on plants in Valheim? This is the mod you can easily use!
This mod does not use any .cfg file to configure it. Instead it does provide configuration via YAML files:
Plant Valheim
type).YAML file contents are ServerSynced.
The implementation currently provides config changes for these values:
| field name | description | type | example |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | the in-game name, usually using localization tokens | string | $prop_pine_sapling |
| growTime | values of seconds this plants need for growing | float | 3000 |
| growRadius | meters of space a plants requires around it to be able to grow | float | 2 |
| minScale | minimum scale for grown plant | float | 1.5 |
| maxScale | maximum scale for grown plant | float | 2.5 |
| needCultivatedGround | plant can only grow be planted on previously cultivated ground | bool | false |
| destroyIfCantGrow | plant will be destroyed if any condition not met during growing | bool | true |
To write the defaults from how they were loaded into the game you can use the console command:
configure_plants_print_defaults
The file containing all the defaults is then written to a simple YAML file inside your BepInEx config folder:
.../BepInEx/config/FixItFelix.ConfigurePlants.defaults.yaml
This is a shorted example for what you get from vanilla Valheim:
PineTree_Sapling:
name: $prop_pine_sapling
growTime: 3000
growRadius: 2
minScale: 1.5
maxScale: 2.5
needCultivatedGround: false
destroyIfCantGrow: true
FirTree_Sapling:
name: $prop_fir_sapling
growTime: 3000
growRadius: 2
minScale: 1
maxScale: 2.5
needCultivatedGround: false
destroyIfCantGrow: true
sapling_onion:
name: $piece_sapling_onion
growTime: 4000
growRadius: 0.5
minScale: 0.9
maxScale: 1.1
needCultivatedGround: true
destroyIfCantGrow: true
You can use the written data to simply create a custom config file by copying and changing file name accordingly.
On how to use the Valheim console, there are many articles that help you enabling the console in details.
See for example the Valheim wiki.
To make it short: add the parameter -console to calling your valheim.exe file -> valheim.exe -console (this can be
done in Steam, too)
The mod can read any YAML file that follows this naming pattern: FixItFelix.ConfigurePlants.custom.*.yaml
The schema of the file needs to follow the schema of the output, see above.
