AegisDome - Runic Safe Dome
About this mod Author’s original text
🛡️ AegisDome
AegisDome empowers you to create custom-shaped magical safe zones that protect your settlements from the darkness of Valheim!
Build an ancient Runestone, open your map, draw an arbitrary protective contour with clicks, and fuel it with high-tier monster trophies. Enemies attempting to enter are instantly dissolved into soul fuel, and raids cannot start within your borders.
🎮 Features at a Glance
| Feature | Description |
|:--- |:--- |
| ✏️ Freeform Map Drawing | Draw protective boundaries of any shape and size directly on the large map with LMB clicks. |
| 🚫 Full Spawn & Raid Immunity | Completely suppresses creature spawning and cancels random raid events inside active zones. |
| 💀 Auto-Despawn & Soul Fuel | Hostiles trespassing across the border vanish into smoke and grant +1800s of fuel to your dome. |
| 🏆 Trophy Fuel Mechanics | Fuel the stone using monster trophies (Swamp tier and above). Fuel burn rate dynamically scales with territory area. |
| 🏕️ +3 Comfort Sanctuary | Standing inside awards the AegisDome status effect and adds a flat +3 Comfort bonus to resting players. |
| 🌐 In-World Visuals & Sync | Luminous ground-hugging boundary ribbons and runic particles, fully synchronized across multiplayer servers. |
✨ How It Works (Made Simple)
Craft & Place the Runestone: Found in the Hammer build menu (Misc tab). Requires Stone, Silver, Dragon Tear, Thunderstone, and Cultist/Goblin Shaman trophies. (Cannot be constructed in Mistlands, Ashlands, or Deep North)*.
- Draw Your Border: Interact with the runestone to open the map editor. Click the [Pencil] icon, plot your polygon vertices across the landscape, and click the starting point to seal and activate the dome.
- Feed the Magic: Offer trophies from the Swamp tier or higher (press hotbar numbers 1–8 on the stone). Weak trophies (Meadows/Black Forest) are rejected.
- Lethal Perimeter: Any ordinary hostile monster entering your zone is banished instantly without leaving corpse clutter, feeding 1800 seconds of life directly into the runestone.
- Boss Invasion Warning: World bosses cannot be vaporized! If a boss invades an active dome, it absorbs the dome's power—instantly depleting its fuel to zero and healing the boss.

🛡️ AegisDome
AegisDome дает возможность создавать магические защитные купола произвольной формы, ограждая ваши базы и города от порождений тьмы!
Установите рунный камень, откройте карту, нарисуйте защитный контур любой формы кликами мыши и заряжайте его трофеями сильных монстров. Враги, ступившие за границу, мгновенно растворяются в воздухе и превращаются в топливо для купола, а рейды на базе полностью блокируются.
🎮 Главные возможности
| Возможность | Описание |
|:--- |:--- |
| ✏️ Свободное рисование зон | Рисуйте границы защиты любой формы и размера прямо по большой карте кликами ЛКМ. |
| 🚫 Блокировка спавна и рейдов | Полностью подавляет появление мобов и предотвращает случайные события (рейды) внутри границ. |
| 💀 Деспавн врагов и заряд купола | Враги, перешедшие черту, мгновенно исчезают, добавляя +1800 сек топлива вашему рунному камню. |
| 🏆 Питание трофеями | Купол питается трофеями существ (Болота и выше). Скорость расхода топлива зависит от площади зоны. |

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
