Pie Guy

Version: 1.0.0
Creator: DelGryphon
Thunderstore team: MidgarthGames
Game: Valheim
Required mods: BepInExPack Valheim and Jötunn

Embrace your inner pie lover! Gather wild wheat from the Meadows, grind fresh flour with an early-game hand-cranked quern, and bake twelve delicious new pies in your very own wood-fired cob oven.

Pie Guy adds an early-game-to-Deep-North baking progression, from gathering wild wheat in the Meadows to milling flour by hand and baking satisfying pies in a compact cob oven.

Features

• Wild wheat: Harvestable wheat grows naturally in Meadows grassland clearings. Wheat can also be cultivated.
• Hand-crank quern: A compact, working rotary mill with turning stone and an output ramp. Mill wheat, barley and oats into flour.
• Three flour types: Wheat flour, vanilla barley flour and oat flour.
• Twelve custom pies: Individually modeled and textured raw/cooked variants, with biome-aware food stats and recipes.
• Wood-fired cob oven: A small stone-and-clay oven with a live hearth fire, visible pie placement, single-item baking, and physical chimney smoke that interacts with roofs.
• Vanilla baking compatibility: Existing Valheim oven foods remain supported.

Twelve custom pies

Earlier progression	Later progression
Pork Handpie	Seeker Meat Pie
Mixed-Berry Pie	Chicken Pot Pie
Vegetable Pie	Venison Pie
Wolf Meat Pie	Four-Berry Galette

Mushroom Pie	Savory Quiche

Craft the uncooked pies at the appropriate cauldron progression level, then bake them in the Cob Oven. Cooking times and ingredient requirements differ by recipe. Some high-tier ingredients require Deep North progression.

Installation

Install directly from Thunderstore, Gale, or r2modman. Select Install in your mod manager. BepInExPack Valheim and Jötunn are declared as required dependencies and are installed automatically by compatible managers. No build scripts, manual file copying, or other setup is required.

Upgrading from a test build? Disable or uninstall older separate Pie Guy Core, Quern, Pies, Wheat or Cob Oven S-series packages, as well as older unified Pie Guy packages. Pie Guy 1.0.0 includes all five components in a single package; running old versions in parallel can cause duplicate registrations.

For worlds containing Pie Guy items or structures, back up your world and character before upgrading. Keep Pie Guy installed when playing in those worlds, and ensure multiplayer clients and servers use compatible mod versions.

Compatibility and technical notes

• The public package is v1.0.0; internal plugin/DLL names and version strings from the tested development components are deliberately unchanged to preserve the previously working runtime and prefab identities.
• Stable release baseline: unified v0.9.11 RC3 (including its fixed native cooking-slot hierarchy and cleaned registration warnings).
• Not included: experimental cooking/charcoal smoke effects from v0.9.12, v0.9.13 or v0.9.14. Normal hearth flames and physical chimney smoke remain.
• Other mods can log unrelated errors; this release does not modify them.
