ProcessProgress

Valheim Process Progress

BepInEx mod for Valheim that shows a small

progress bar above things that take time, so you can see at a glance how long

is left - without guessing or checking each one.

Unofficial mod. This is a fan-made mod, not affiliated with or endorsed by

Iron Gate. It marks your game as modded (the game shows this in the main menu),

as Iron Gate asks mod authors to do.

What gets a bar

Anything within range of you (10 m by default):

• Growing plants - crops and tree saplings: percent grown and time left
• Picked plants that regrow - berry bushes, mushrooms, herbs: time until

they're ready to pick again

• Fermenters - fermentation progress and time left; nothing is shown for

an empty fermenter

• Beehives - honey stored (e.g. 2/4) and time until the next one

Finished things show a full gold bar with the game's own word for it (in

English: Done, e.g. Beehive: Done). When something is stuck, the bar

turns red and shows the game's own reason, for example a plant with no sun

or in the wrong biome, a fermenter that needs a roof (without one the game

keeps resetting fermentation), or beehives that need more open space.

Times come from the game's own calculations, so the bar always matches what

will actually happen. The bars sit with the game's enemy health bars: they

hide together with the HUD and follow the game's UI scale setting.

Settings

In BepInEx\config\com.ab5olutezer0.valheim.processprogress.cfg:

• Range - how far from you bars are shown, 3 to 40 m (default 10)
• ShowPlants, ShowPickables, ShowFermenters, ShowBeehives - turn

each kind on or off

Requirements

• Valheim (tested on 1.0.15)
• BepInEx 5.4.x

Installation (players)

• Install BepInEx for Valheim if you haven't already (see link above, or

use r2modman).

• Download ProcessProgress.dll from the

latest release.

• Drop it into \BepInEx\plugins\ProcessProgress\.
• Launch the game and walk up to a growing plant, a fermenter or a beehive.

Building from source

Requires the.NET 8 SDK (or newer)

and a local Valheim install with BepInEx installed.

git clone

cd valheim-process-progress

dotnet build -c Release -p:ValheimPath="C:\Path\To\Valheim"

If you don't pass -p:ValheimPath, the build looks for a VALHEIM_PATH

environment variable, then falls back to the default Steam location

(C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim).

The build automatically copies the built DLL into

\BepInEx\plugins\ProcessProgress\ for quick in-game testing.

Notes on how it works (and a few gotchas found along the way)

• Each kind of object is one small IProgressProvider class, so adding a new

kind means adding one class - scanning and bars don't change.

• Growth and fermentation times are read through the game's own private

methods (Plant.GetGrowTime, Plant.TimeSincePlanted,

Fermenter.GetFermentationTime) rather than re-implemented.

• After you tap a fermenter, the game "resets" its start time by writing an

int 0 but reads it back as a long, so the old time stays behind and an

empty fermenter looks finished. Emptiness is checked by its content, like

the game itself does.

• The bar height comes from the visible model, not from colliders - a

fermenter has invisible volumes reaching far above the barrel.

• The area around you is scanned once a second, values are refreshed twice a

second, and bars are reused from a pool, so it stays cheap even in a busy

farm.
