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: 5.4.2360README
Ore Excavation
Break a single chunk of an ore deposit to start a progressive chain excavation of the remaining parts. Excavation speed scales with your pickaxe and skill, and loot can be collected at the surface.
Features
- Progressive excavation of ore deposits and nearby matching nodes.
- Adjustable excavation speed, stamina and durability costs.
- Optional surface loot stacking.
- Toggle the mod on or off in game with Y by default.
- Optional farthest-first excavation order.
Farthest-first mode
After running the game once, edit BepInEx/config/com.valheim.oreexcavation.cfg with the game closed. Under [1 - General], set:
FarthestFirst = true
The remaining targets are excavated from farthest to nearest relative to the initial hit point. The first chunk is still broken manually to start the chain. The default is false, which keeps the original nearest-neighbor order. Restart the game after editing the config.
Installation
Install with a Thunderstore-compatible mod manager; BepInExPack Valheim is included as a dependency. For manual installation, install BepInExPack Valheim first, then copy OreExcavation.dll to BepInEx/plugins. Keep only one copy of the plugin installed.
Built against Valheim 1.0.20 references. The 1.0.1 reverse-order build has been tested in game on Valheim 1.0.21. Other mod combinations and multiplayer setups are not guaranteed; back up your saves before testing.
