This mod requires the following mods to function
denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim
BepInEx pack for Valheim. Preconfigured with the correct entry point for mods and preferred defaults for the community.
Preferred version: 5.4.2351README
SnowFarm
Vanilla beehives and birds' nests only produce in Meadows, Black Forest and Plains, and only when the roof/snow coverage is below 60%. Build restriction mods only lift the placement checks, so a hive placed in the Mountains still refuses to make honey.
SnowFarm rewrites the production component itself, so hives and nests work anywhere — Mountains, Deep North, indoors, even fully covered.
What it does
- Rewrites every
Heightmap.Biomemask on the beehive / birds' nest components to include the configured biomes (default: the three vanilla ones + Mountain, DeepNorth, Mistlands, Swamp, Ashlands). - Raises the roof/snow coverage limit (
MaxCover, default1= always allowed). - Optionally rewrites the build pieces too, so they can be placed on deep snow without another placement mod.
- Works on the prefab (all newly built pieces) and on live instances (already built pieces).
It uses reflection and does not hard-code the nest's component class, so beehive and nest are both covered on a best-effort basis.
Install
- Install BepInExPack Valheim (dependency, handled automatically by r2modman).
- Drop
SnowFarm.dllintoBepInEx/plugins/. - Install it on the server and on all clients — production is simulated on the server, and every client needs the same component values.
Config
BepInEx/config/snowfarm.valheim.cfg (created after the first launch):
| Section | Key | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 - General | Enabled |
true |
Master switch |
| 2 - Placement | PatchPrefabs |
true |
Also allow placing the pieces on snow |
| 2 - Placement | AdditionalBiomes |
Mountain,DeepNorth,Mistlands,Swamp,AshLands |
Biomes added to the vanilla list |
| 3 - Production | MaxCover |
1 |
Coverage limit 0-1; 1 ignores roofs and snow |
Config changes need a restart (or an area reload) to apply to already built pieces.
Notes
- Existing pieces: pick them up and rebuild, or leave the area and come back after restarting.
- Only affects beehives and birds' nests; other production pieces are untouched.
- Compatible with BuildRestrictionTweaksSync / Infinity Hammer (those handle placement, this handles production). You can uninstall either one if SnowFarm already lets you place.
中文说明
原版蜂巢/鸟巢只在草地、黑森林、平原产东西，且要求遮蔽度低于 60%。只解除“放置限制”的 mod 不会让雪山 里的蜂巢开始产蜜。本 mod 直接改产出组件里的群系掩码和遮蔽上限，所以雪山、深北、室内都能产出。 服务端和所有客户端都要装。已建好的蜂巢建议拆了重放，或重进区域。
Build
dotnet build -c Release -p:ValheimDir="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim"
