Seed Totem (Refactor by 0zzerod)
A Valheim mod that brings automated farming to your world. Place a totem, load it with seeds, and watch as it plants them for you—either in a circle or a neat rectangular field.
If you're enjoying the mod, consider buying me a coffee, many were consumed getting it in a working state!

📦 Features
- Seed Totem: Plants queued seeds in a configurable circular radius.
- Advanced Seed Totem (Auto Field): Plants seeds in a rectangular grid.
- Configurable: Tweak recipes, shapes, sizes, key binds and more via Thunderstore config.
- Hotkeys: Dynamically adjust radius, width or length in-game (admin-only or open).
- Harvest on Hit (Optional): Once plants mature, strike the totem to harvest seeds back.
- Localization & Tutorials: Integrated Raven tutorial text with full localization support.
- Vanilla‐friendly: Clones only built-in prefabs—no bundled assets to avoid conflicts.
