TarExtractor
Adds a buildable Tar Extractor that passively collects Tar from Plains tar pits.

How it works
The Tar Extractor works like the Sap Extractor, but for tar pits instead of Ancient Roots:
- Place it inside a tar pit (it also works on drained pits). Outside a tar pit the placement ghost turns red and a message tells you why.
- It produces 1 Tar every 60 seconds and holds up to 200 Tar.
- Interact with it to collect the stored Tar. It drops next to the extractor.
- Progress is saved on the piece, so it keeps filling up while you are away.
Building it
Find it in the Hammer's Crafting tab. It needs a Workbench nearby and the same materials as the Sap Extractor:
| Material | Amount |
|---|---|
| Yggdrasil wood | 10 |
| Black metal | 5 |
| Dvergr extractor | 1 |
Configuration
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
Seconds Per Tar |
60 |
Seconds it takes to produce 1 Tar. |
Max Tar |
200 |
Maximum amount of Tar one extractor can hold. |
CHANGELOG
Changelog
0.2.0
- Fixed the mod failing to load on the current Valheim version ("Cannot get result from void method
Player::PlacePiece"). - New tar-themed effects:
- The Sap Extractor's green glow and particles are now a very dark purple.
- The green light has been removed.
- Oozing tar splashes, borrowed from the Growth, now drip from the spout.
- These effects only show while the extractor holds Tar, and are no longer visible on the placement ghost.
- Localization support for all languages supported by Valheim (except Abenaki, which falls back to English).
- Translations reuse Valheim's own terms for Tar and the Sap Extractor where available.
- Translation files live in
Translations/<Language>.jsonand are embedded in the mod.
