Seatapult
A half-size, rideable catapult. You don't load a ballista and watch it aim — you climb into the operator's seat, aim the machine yourself, fire items from its ammo-store chest, and (optionally) eject yourself across the map.
A Valheim BepInEx 5 plugin built on Jotunn.
Features
- Seatapult build piece (Hammer > Misc), 20x Wood / 15x Stone / 5x Iron, cloned from the vanilla Ashlands Catapult at half size.
- Operator's seat with full aiming: arm angle, aim yaw, and launch power.
- Ammo store: a chest on the machine — anything placed inside can be fired (or filter it with
AllowedItems). - Ejector seat: launch yourself along the aim direction, with no fall damage and a synthesized cartoon scream by default.
- Deploy legs, adjustable power, in-game HUD panel while seated.
Requirements
- BepInEx 5 (
denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim) - Jotunn 2.30.x (
ValheimModding-Jotunn)
Installation
- Install through your mod manager (recommended).
- Manual: drop

How to use
- Restart the game after installing (the build piece is registered at startup).
