SeedCrafting

Valheim Seed Crafting

BepInEx mod for Valheim that adds a workbench

recipe to convert one fully-grown crop back into 2 seeds of the same type,

so you don't have to keep buying seeds from the trader.

Recipes (require a workbench nearby):

| Input (1x) | Output (2x) |

|-------------|----------------|

| Carrot | Carrot Seeds |

| Turnip | Turnip Seeds |

| Onion | Onion Seeds |

| Kale | Kale Seeds |

| Poteitr | Poteitr Seeds |

No other resources are consumed. Doesn't touch crafting stations you're

not using, doesn't patch anything unrelated. Like any other recipe in the

game, each one shows up in the list once you've picked up that crop.

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.

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 SeedCrafting.dll from the

latest release.

• Drop it into \BepInEx\plugins\SeedCrafting\.
• Launch the game.

Upgrading from 0.1.0: the DLL used to be called Mod1-SeedCrafting.dll.

Delete the old BepInEx\plugins\Mod1-SeedCrafting\ folder after installing

the new version (the mod keeps no data there).

Building from source

Requires the.NET 8 SDK (or newer)

and a local Valheim install with BepInEx installed.

git clone

cd valheim-seed-crafting

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\SeedCrafting\ for quick in-game testing.

Known limitations

• This mod bypasses the Jötunn

modding library's recipe API on purpose: as of Jötunn 2.30.2, its

ItemManager.OnVanillaItemsAvailable event fires once, too early (on an

empty ObjectDB, before a world is loaded) and never fires again -

registered recipes never resolve to real item prefabs and stay invisible

in-game. This mod registers the recipe directly against the game's own

ObjectDB.m_recipes from a Harmony postfix on ObjectDB.Awake, guarded to

only run once real item data is present.

• Kale/Poteitr item names are assumed to follow the game's own

{CropName} / {CropName}Seeds convention; if a future game update

renames them, that specific recipe is silently skipped (logged as a

warning) rather than crashing.
