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, perhaps 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: Once plants are fully grown, strike the totem to harvest.
• Localization & Tutorials: Integrated Raven tutorial text with full localization support.
• Vanilla‐friendly: Clones only built-in prefabs—no bundled assets to avoid conflicts.

🚀 Installation

1. Install BepInExPack Valheim.
2. Install Jötunn (ValheimModding).
3. Download and install Seed Totem from Thunderstore.
4. Launch Valheim once to generate default config files.

⚙️ Configuration

When updating, delete existing 0zzerod.SeedTotem.cfg (and any language files) to avoid stale entries, then relaunch to regenerate clean configs. All configutation options except visuals, sound and keybinds are synched with server.

You can customize:

• Recipes: Change ingredient lists for both totems.
• Piece Table: Place totems under Hammer or Cultivator crafting. (default: hammer)
• Shapes & Sizes: Default radius/width/length and adjustment steps.
• Key Bindings: Assign keys for radius/width/length increase or decrease.
• Biome lock: Turn on or off checking for correct biomes. (default: true)
• Cultivation lock: Turn on or off checking for cultivated area. (default: true)
• Admin lock: Locking options for radius/width/length control. (default: true)
• Max Seeds: Max amount of seeds a Totem will hold. (default: 100)
• Localization: Change language, names and descriptions as you see fit. (default: English)
• Harvest on Hit: Can be toggled off. (default: true)
• Vineberry Seeds allowed: Allow/Disallow Vineberry seeds from being added to the standard Seed Totems. (default: false)
• Mobs ignore Totems: Toggle Mobs ignoring Seed Totems. (default: true)
• Allow Mushrooms: Allow mushrooms that aren't plantable in vanilla (Red, Yellow, etc...). (default: true)
• Allow Berry Bushes: Allow planting of Berry Bushes. (default: true)
• Allow Flowers: Allow planting of flowers. (default: true)
• Tables for non-plantables: For vanilla objects that aren't plantable by cultivator, a table needs to be configured. (already populated by default)

🛠️ Usage

1. Place a Seed Totem or Advanced Seed Totem
2. With seeds in your inventory, aim at the totem and press the Plant (E default) key to queue.
3. Hold the Plant key (E default) when you have valid seeds to input all seeds in the queue. 4 Hold the Plant key (E default) when you have no valid seeds to eject all the current queued seeds.
4. Adjust the planting area in real time using configured hotkeys (requires admin privilege by default).
5. Once plants mature, hit the totem to harvest.

⚠️ Known Issues

• Mods altering the guard_stone prefab may cause issues.
• Localization is incomplete for some Languages.
• Seed Restricting mechanic not implemented.
• Seed Totems have no regard for wall placement when planting Vineberry Seeds (Vinberry blocked by default.
• Mobs can't damage the Totem, but they will ignore them by default.
• Plants that are not "plantable" by cultivator in vanilla have no grow time (just a respawn time), so you can technically infinitely duplicate them using the Totem.

⚠️ Planned

• Adding a dedicated Ashvine Totem that will scan the area for walls and plant Vineberry Seeds optimally.
• Restoring the original look of the Auto Seed Totem with Kitbash.
• Re-introduce seed restricting mechanics.
• Planting mushrooms/Bushes/Flowers in a "picked" state to make it less cheaty.
