About this mod Author’s original text
Plateautem
A Valheim mod that adds a totem for terrain flattening.
Instructions
The totem needs to supplied with fuel, stone and tools depending on what you want it to do.
- All operations require fuel.
- Lowering terrain requires a pickaxe and will generate stone.
- Raising terrain requires a hoe and will consume stone.
- Higher tier pickaxes will be slowed down less by the digging operation.
Most features can be modified in the config file in your Valheim install folder at Valheim/BepInEx/config/com.erkle64.Plateautem.cfg

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:
