Terrain Ramp

Terrain Ramp adds a hoe tool for building persistent earth roads and ramps directly on Valheim's real terrain grid.

Select a start point, an end point, and the road width. The preview shows the exact terrain triangles that will be changed, including diagonal cell edges and adjacent zone boundaries. The same calculated vertex plan is used when the ramp is applied.

Features

• Three-point workflow: A start, B end, W width.
• Persistent terrain changes synchronized through Valheim's vanilla TerrainComp system.
• Symmetric or one-sided road width.
• Four longitudinal profiles selected with Q and E.
• Alt terrain fitting reads the local ground plane on both sides of A and B.
• Compact HUD with length, rise, width, affected vertices, and measured grid slope.
• Exact terrain-grid preview with green/yellow/red validity feedback.
• Original Valheim crow markers without AI, collision, drops, or network entities.
• Russian and English localization.
• Compatible with Build Camera Custom Hammers Edition without a hard dependency.

Controls

1. Equip the hoe and select Earth Ramp in the Misc category.
2. First click: set point A, the center-line start.
3. Second click: set point B, the center-line end.
4. Move sideways and click a third time to set the width and apply the ramp.

During width selection:

• Q / E — cycle the road profile.
• Hold Ctrl — expand only the cursor side; the opposite side stays at minimum width.
• Hold Alt — fit the longitudinal and lateral terrain planes at A and B. Endpoint bending stays local, while the middle remains exactly on the straight A-B line.
• G — toggle the technical terrain grid.
• Esc — reset all selected points.

Profiles

• Straight slope — constant slope from A to B with no longitudinal rounding.
• Straight + soft joins — straight A-B section with soft terrain joins outside the endpoints.
• Soft ends — local curves near A and B with a straight middle section.
• Full S-curve — smooth curve across the full ramp length.

Multiplayer

Install Terrain Ramp and Jotunn on the server and on every client. Terrain changes are stored and replicated by Valheim's vanilla terrain system, so completed ramps persist after reconnects and world reloads.

This release is intended for trusted co-op. The building client validates and applies the terrain plan; there is no separate server-authoritative anti-cheat validation yet.

Important limits

• Valheim terrain can only move approximately +/-8 m from its base height.
• The entire ramp footprint must be inside loaded terrain zones.
• The default operation safety cap is 1024 affected terrain vertices.
• The default maximum grid slope is 75 degrees. This is a construction limit, not a guarantee that a vanilla cart can climb the road.
• Very short ramps cannot reproduce every sampled endpoint tangent because collision terrain only exists at discrete grid vertices.

Settings are created in BepInEx/config/com.ostrix.terrainramp.cfg after the first launch.

Manual installation

Install BepInExPack for Valheim and Jotunn, then place TerrainRamp.dll in a folder under BepInEx/plugins.

Земляной пандус

Мод добавляет в меню мотыги инструмент для быстрого создания постоянных земляных дорог и пандусов по реальной terrain-сетке Valheim.

Управление

1. Первый клик задаёт начало A.
2. Второй клик задаёт конец B.
3. Отведи курсор вбок и сделай третий клик, чтобы выбрать ширину и применить пандус.

На этапе ширины:

• Q / E — переключение профиля.
• Ctrl — расширение только со стороны курсора.
• Alt — подгонка к продольному и поперечному наклону земли у A и B. Изгиб остаётся возле концов, а середина точно совпадает с прямой A-B.
• G — техническая сетка.
• Esc — сброс точек.

Мод должен быть установлен на сервере и у всех игроков. Готовый рельеф сохраняется и синхронизируется стандартной системой Valheim. Лимит угла по умолчанию равен 75°, но это не означает, что ванильная повозка сможет подняться по такому склону.
