ValheimTomrer

ValheimTomrer

Blueprints for Valheim 1.0, with an editor inside the game. Design a building in 3D, or copy one

you already built, and put the whole thing up with the hammer.

(Tømrer is Norwegian for carpenter.)

Only you need to install it. It adds no new pieces or items, and every piece is built the normal

way, with materials you actually have. I play Valheim with a controller, so everything works on a

pad too, the editor included.

As far as I know, no other Valheim mod lets you draw a blueprint inside the game.

Features

• An editor inside the game (F7), with a 3D view, every piece the hammer has, and the same

snapping as the hammer. You don't need a separate program.

• Copy a building you already have (F8). Put a rectangle over it and it becomes a blueprint.
• Build a whole blueprint with the hammer: press B to pick one, aim and click.
• Materials come from your inventory and from chests near you, carts and ship holds included.
• Short on materials? It builds what you can pay for, from the bottom up, and shows the rest as

ghost pieces. Come back with more and finish it.

• In the editor, a piece shows the hammer's support colours while you place it, so you see what

would fall down before you build it.

• The build card lists every material: what you have and what you need.
• Blueprints are small text files you can share. It also reads.blueprint files from PlanBuild,

Buildheim and Infinity Hammer, and.vbuild files from BuildShare.

The game's rules still apply. Every piece costs what it normally costs, you need a workbench

nearby, and you can only build pieces you have unlocked.

Installation

The easy way is a mod manager (r2modman, Gale or Mod Manager). It installs

BepInEx for you.

By hand: install BepInExPack Valheim

5.4.2350 or newer, then unzip the download and put ValheimTomrer.dll in Valheim/BepInEx/plugins.

On an Apple Silicon Mac, read the Mac section at the bottom first, or no mods will load at all.

Getting started

Build the example

The mod comes with one blueprint, a small covered workshop, so you can try it right away.

• Take out the hammer and press B (pad: □). The workshop shows up where you aim.
• Turn it with the mouse wheel (pad: L2 + right stick).
• Click (pad: R2).

If you have the materials, the whole workshop goes up at once. If you don't, see "Finishing a

build later" below. Press B after the last blueprint to go back to normal building.

While a blueprint is in your hand, the key hints at the bottom of the screen show the blueprint

keys instead of the usual ones. They show your own key bindings, or the button icons when you use

a pad.

Make your own

• Press F7 (pad: L2 + □) to open the editor. You don't need the hammer for this. The same key

closes it.

• Click New in the top bar.
• Pick a piece from the list on the left and click in the 3D view to place it. It snaps to other

pieces the same way the hammer does. Hold Shift to place it without snapping.

• The piece stays in your hand, so keep clicking to place more. Esc puts it away.
• Give the blueprint a name on the right (and an icon, if you like) and press Ctrl+S.
• Take out the hammer, open the editor and click Build this in the top bar. The editor closes

and the blueprint is in your hand.

Some things that help:

• A piece's colour shows how well it is held up, the same colours the hammer uses. Red and

blinking means it would fall down, so the click does nothing. Put a pole or a wall under it

first.

• Click a piece to select it. G moves it, R turns it, Delete removes it and Ctrl+Z undoes. Drag a

box to select several pieces.

• The Checks list on the right tells you what is wrong with the blueprint, for example pieces

that would fall down.

• The workshop that comes with the mod is read only. Use Save as to make your own copy of it.
• Blueprints in the top bar lists all of them. You can open or delete yours from there.

Copy a building

• Stand where you can see the whole building and press F8 (pad: L2 + △). A
