Build Resource Requirements (Updated for Valheim 1.0)

This is a fork of Jammerbam's Build Resource Requirements (original listing), rebuilt for Valheim 1.0 (Unity 6). All credit for the mod itself goes to Jammerbam; this fork only updates it for the current game version. Source:

Build Resources Requirements is a mod that allows control over whether resources are required for specific build categories, tools, and pieces. This includes support for vanilla and modded categories, and configuration syncing. I wrote this mod because I didn't really like how the world modifier for disabling resources turned off everything, including the cultivator.

Features

• Category-Based Resource Requirements: Configure resource requirements for specific build categories (e.g., Crafting, Furniture, Misc.).
• Tool-Specific Configurations: Enable or disable resource requirements for tools such as the Cultivator and Hoe.
• Piece Exceptions: Specify individual pieces that should never require resources, regardless of their category.
• Modded Category Support: Automatically detects and configures newly added modded categories.
• Skill Based Resource Requirements: Configurable option to reduce resource requirements depending on the players crafting skill level.
• Multiplayer Synchronization: Ensures all players share the same configuration when connected to a multiplayer server.

Requirements

• Valheim 1.0.x (Unity 6). Older game versions (0.22x and earlier) need mod version 1.1.0.
• BepInExPack_Valheim 5.4.2350 or newer (BepInEx 5.4.23.5, Unity 6 aware).

Installation

• Install BepInEx (BepInExPack_Valheim 5.4.2350+).
• Extract the BuildResourcesMod.dll into the BepInEx/plugins folder.
• Launch Valheim to generate the configuration file.

Building from source

The project is an SDK-style csproj and builds with the.NET 8 SDK (no Visual Studio needed).

ServerSync is pulled in as a git submodule and compiled

straight into the plugin, so clone with submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules

or, in an existing checkout, git submodule update --init. Then:

dotnet build -c Release -p:GamePath="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim"

GamePath defaults to the standard Steam location. BepInExCore defaults to \BepInEx\core

and can be overridden the same way. The output is a single bin/Release/BuildResourcesMod.dll.

Configuration

The configuration file is generated in BepInEx/config/Jammerbam.buildresourcesmod.cfg.

Categories

These are the available categories and their defaults:

[Categories]

MiscRequiresResources = true

CraftingRequiresResources = true

FurnitureRequiresResources = false

BuildingWorkbenchRequiresResources = false (Build)

BuildingStonecutterRequiresResources = false (Heavy Building)

DeepNorthRequiresResources = false (new in Valheim 1.0: the 67-degree steep roof/wall pieces)

CultivatorRequiresResources = true

HoeRequiresResources = true

Exceptions

Individual pieces can be added to the exceptions list:

[Exceptions]

Comma-separated list of pieces that are always buildable.

Setting type: String

Default value:

PieceExceptions = darkwood_wolf,darkwood_raven,wood_dragon1

Add piece names as a comma-separated list. Exceptions override category-based settings and never require resources.

Skill Based Resource Reduction

The mod has an option to enable a feature to reduce resource requirements depending on the players crafting sill level.

This works as a percentage, so if the player has a crafting skill of 50, the required resources will be 50% less.

There is also another option to completly disable resource requirements if the player has a crafting skill of 100. If this option is disabled, all pieces will require at least 1 of each required item.

Modded Categories

The mod will detect modded categories and add them to the config file. These categories are usually added when you load a world. If you want to configure a m
