README

Freyja's Feeder

Automated pet feeding, healing, and animal taming trough for Valheim.

Features

  • Automated Feeding of Tamed Pets: Automatically feeds hungry boars, wolves, lox, asksvin, hens/chickens, and modded tameables within range. Keeps your pets happy, nourished, and continuously ready for breeding without tedious manual feeding.
  • Automated Taming of Wild Beasts: Place a feeder near pens or wild animal enclosures. Untamed beasts will automatically eat matching food from the feeder to start and progress their taming process.
  • Pet Healing & Care: Injured pets are fed nutritious food from the trough to heal their wounds, displaying healing effects and floating numbers so your companions stay healthy through raids and battles.
  • Prevents Night Despawn: Wild creatures (such as coveted 2-star night wolves) that feed from Freyja's Feeder are prevented from despawning at sunrise.
  • Overcrowding Safeguard: Optional setting to pause feeding once a species reaches your desired population limit in the area, preventing runaway lag from excessive breeding.
  • Dedicated 3D Feeder Chest: Includes a custom carved Norse feeder trough 3D model with custom textures, authentic normal mapping, piece icon, and a 24-slot container grid (6x4).
  • Nearby Chest Linking: Optional config setting allowing Freyja's Feeder to pull animal food from adjacent standard chests if the feeder's own storage runs out.
  • DFG Category Integration: Seamlessly appears in the Hammer build menu under the shared DFG tab (supported by DFGHub).
