Flattenheim

Flattenheim is a lightweight Valheim terrain-building mod focused on fast, precise terrain shaping without Jotunn.

Features

Pickaxe Flattening

With a pickaxe equipped, hold the configured Flatten Hold key to flatten terrain around the target area.

Config:

• Size: 1–20 m
• Hardness / Smoothness: 0–100
• Shape: Square / Circle
• Ground Texture: Dirt / Keep Existing
• Flatten Hold: remappable hotkey

Flattenheim uses direct terrain editing rather than spawning permanent build pieces.

8-Direction Grid Movement

Optional world-grid movement while flattening.

Movement snaps to:

• N
• NE
• E
• SE
• S
• SW
• W
• NW

This is independent of camera direction.

Hoe & Cultivator Radius

Adjust the effective terrain-operation radius of the Hoe and Cultivator.

Config:

• Enabled
• Hoe Radius
• Cultivator Radius
• Increase Radius hotkey
• Decrease Radius hotkey

The mod keeps separate radius values for the Hoe and Cultivator.

Ramp Tool

Adds a Ramp option directly to the Hoe build menu.

Behavior:

• Creates a straight terrain ramp from the player's current ground position to the aimed terrain point
• Uses a persistent live trajectory preview
• Ramp start updates with the player's current position
• Ramp end updates with the current cursor/aim point
• No permanent build object is placed
• Uses direct terrain editing

Config:

• Ramp Thickness: 1–20 m

Revert Original Terrain

Adds Revert Original Terrain directly to the Hoe menu.

Behavior:

• Shows a live radius around the aimed terrain point
• Restores terrain height modifications inside the selected area
• Resets modified terrain paint in the affected area

Config:

• Radius: 1–20 m

No Jotunn

Flattenheim only requires:
