This mod requires the following mods to function
denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim
BepInEx pack for Valheim. Preconfigured and includes unstripped Unity DLLs.
Preferred version: 5.4.2202
ValheimModding-Jotunn
Jötunn (/ˈjɔːtʊn/, 'giant'), the Valheim Library was created with the goal of making the lives of mod developers easier. It enables you to create mods for Valheim using an abstracted API so you can focus on the actual content creation.
Preferred version: 2.30.2
KydlDev-DrainTarPit
A hand pump with hoses to drain tar pits. Put a strainer in the tar, pump with E and watch the level drop while the tar pours from the nozzle. Items in the pit stay. Add WaterAndTarPools to keep the tar in pools and pump water.
Preferred version: 1.0.0README
WaterAndTarPools
Add-on for DrainTarPit (required). With it, everything your hand pump moves stays in the world - and the pump can move water too.
Pools
- The pumped tar or water is poured into a real pool where the stream from the nozzle lands: a hole dug with the pickaxe, a moat, or a ring of stone / wood walls fills up to the lowest point of its rim.
- Built walls and floors hold the liquid like the ground does. What would run over the rim disappears there (or, if you turn that off, runs over and fills the next basin behind it).
- Long moats fill end to end, thin films slide off walls and slopes quickly instead of lingering.
- Tar pools slow you like the game's tar, water pools let you swim. Pools are saved with the world and can be pumped again.
- Fish stay inside a water pool: they turn back at the walls and cannot jump out.
- Stuck at the edge? Press Jump 3 times quickly next to the wall and you are lifted out.
Water
- A strainer built in the sea, a lake or a water pool pumps water (the sea never runs dry).
- Water styles: Game (the game's own water), Tropical (clear turquoise with light patterns on the floor), Lake (deeper, darker blue) and Ashlands (red with a faint glow). The water in see-through hoses and the stream from the nozzle take the colour of the pool's style, with a splash sound where it lands.
Pool signs (Hammer > KY-Items)
| Piece | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pool sign | 3 Wood, 1 Coal | Build it on a pool or within 5 m of one (pump pools and the game's tar pits). One sign per pool. |
Press E on the sign to name the pool and style the name: any font of the game, size, bold / italic / underline / strike / upper case, alignment, letter spacing, a colour, a colour per letter (paint, rainbow, gradient) and emoji. Save a preferred style and reuse it on the next sign. Everyone sees the same sign.
Pool menu (F9)
- Every pool with a named sign in the world, with its position and the closest portal.
- Pick your own water style per pool - only you see it, saved on your PC for each world.
- Server admins set the world water style for every pool; new pools use it.
