Adds analogues of existing building elements
About this mod Author’s original text
Big Pieces
Description
This mod for Valheim adds analogues of existing building elements, but significantly increased in size. The goal of the mod is to optimize game performance by reducing the number of instances (instances) of objects in the scene, especially in large buildings.
The basic idea: Reduce the load on the system when building large bases by using fewer elements, but larger.
Functionality
- Enlarged analogues: The mod adds enlarged versions of standard building elements (walls, floors, roofs, beams, etc.).
- Balanced Recipes: Recipes for new building elements are configured to match their increased size. This ensures an honest and balanced construction process.
- New tab in the hammer: All enlarged construction items are available in a separate tab in the construction menu (called by the hammer), which makes it easier to find and use new objects.
Why is this necessary?
- Optimization of large buildings: Ideal for players who like to build large and complex bases.
- FPS Boost: Reducing the number of instances in a scene leads to an increase in FPS, especially near large buildings.
- Faster construction process: Using large elements speeds up the construction process, as you need fewer clicks and actions to build walls, floors, and roofs.
- Preserving vanilla style: The mod retains the appearance and style of the original building elements by simply increasing their size.
Installation
- Install BepInExPack Valheim.
- Copy the.dll mod file to the BepInEx/plugins folder in your Valheim directory.
Configuration
The mod has no configurable parameters. The sizes of the enlarged items and recipes are configured in advance.
Compatibility
- Compatible with Valheim.
- May not be compatible with other mods that significantly change the construction system or add new building elements.

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:
