Watchtowers

Build watchtowers that reveal the land around them on your map. Three tiers, from a wooden lookout to a towering black marble beacon, each with an always-lit torch on top so your towers mark the way home at night.

Towers

Tower	Reveal radius	Height	Crafting station	Cost	Torch
Wood Watchtower	300 m	8 m	Workbench	30 Wood	Wood torch
Stone Watchtower	600 m	10 m	Stonecutter	30 Stone, 10 Wood	Green torch
Marble Watchtower	1200 m	12 m	Stonecutter	20 Black Marble, 10 Fine Wood	Blue torch

All three are in the Misc tab of the Hammer.

How it works

• The map is revealed as soon as a tower is built, and the reveal is saved with your character.
• In multiplayer, every player who comes near a tower gets the reveal too, so towers work as shared scouting posts.
• The torches are decorative: they never need fuel and don't provide warmth.
• Towers are solid: you can stand on top and build against them. There are no built-in stairs, so build your own way up.

Configuration

Edit the settings in r2modman's Config editor (file guimas.Watchtowers.cfg), or in BepInEx/config. Restart the game after changing them.

Setting	Default	Description
Reveal radius / Wood	300	Meters revealed around a Wood Watchtower (50 to 5000)
Reveal radius / Stone	600	Meters revealed around a Stone Watchtower (50 to 5000)
Reveal radius / Marble	1200	Meters revealed around a Marble Watchtower (50 to 5000)
Visuals / Fire on top	true	Show the always-lit torch on top of each tower

The map is made of 64 m squares, so reveal circles are approximate.

Multiplayer

Every player and the server must have the mod installed. Players without it can't join a server that has it, and vice versa.

Requirements

• BepInExPack Valheim
• Jötunn

r2modman installs both automatically.
