Farming and animal pieces for Valheim, each with its own model, textured to sit right next to the game's own pieces. Three so far: a feeding trough, a nesting box and a mead cask. The server can switch any of them off, and more will join over time.

Gullinbursti's Trough is a feeding trough your animals eat from, named for the god Freyr's golden-bristled boar. Dark oak, hammered bronze bands and a carved boar head on each end. Fill it with food and walk away: hungry boars, wolves, lox and any other tameable animal within 25 m come over and eat from it, one bite at a time. The game treats every bite as a normal meal, so taming, breeding and keeping tamed animals fed all count, and mods that change those keep working.

• Build it with the hammer under Furniture: 10 Wood and 2 Bronze, at a forge.
• Fill it from your hotbar: look at it and press the food's hotbar key (1-8) to add that stack. It holds 100 pieces of food, and what's inside shows in the bowl.
• Shift + E takes the food back. Whatever doesn't fit in your inventory lands at your feet, and if the trough is broken its food spills out.

Which food counts is the game's own list for each animal, so modded animals and their foods work too. It isn't a chest, so crafting-from-containers and quick-stack mods leave its food alone, and auto-pickup won't grab a bite waiting in the bowl. With LetMeTameYou, animals that can't be tamed yet don't eat from it, the same as with food on the ground.

Gullinkambi's Roost gathers your hens' eggs, named for the golden-combed rooster that wakes the warriors of Valhalla. Fine wood, black metal and a carved rooster head on each end. Hens stop laying once there are 10 hens and eggs within 10 m, so eggs left lying around shut a coop down; the roost gathers the eggs laid within 10 m so your hens keep laying, and a star hen's eggs stay star eggs.

• Build it with the hammer under Furniture: 10 Fine Wood and 2 Black Metal, at a forge.
• With a fire near the roost, its lid counts as the roof. It warms its eggs and hatches the first chick after 30 minutes, then one every 5 minutes, until there are 6 hens and chicks within its reach. Kill a few hens for meat and the flock refills itself.
• E switches gathering off when you want eggs to lie, and Shift + E takes the eggs. Its eggs show in its three cubbies.

Eggs already warming by a fire on the ground are left alone. It gathers any egg that hatches, so eggs from other animals (for example with LetMeTameYou) work too.

Heiðrún's Cask is a great mead cask, blessed by Heiðrún, the goat whose udder runs with mead in Valhalla. A great barrel of fine wood with black metal bands, a goat carved into each end and a cork to tap it from, on a carved stand. It brews several mead bases at once, 4 by default, each exactly like a fermenter of its own.

• Build it with the hammer under Crafting: 30 Fine Wood, 6 Black Metal, 4 Tar and 20 Iron Nails, at a forge.
• Add mead bases with E, one at a time, or with a mead base's hotbar key (1-8) to pour in as many as there's room for. It needs a roof, like the fermenter.
• When batches are ready, E taps them all, and the mead pours out in front of the cork.

Brewing takes as long as the game's fermenter and gives the same amount. With PotatoTweaks, the cask follows its fermenter speed and output settings too. One cask brews one kind of mead base at a time until it's emptied, unless the server turns on Mix mead bases.

Everyone needs the mod, the server included, because the pieces are part of your world. Dedicated servers load it too. It's part of the PotatoServer pack for the Potato Server.

Settings

In BepInEx/config/potato.farmer.cfg, or in game with Configuration Manager. Everything marked "server" is set by the server and synced to players.

Changelog

1.2.0

• New: Heiðrún's Cask, a great mead cask that brews several mead bases at once, 4 by default (Batches setting), each like a fermenter of its own. Fine wood and black metal with a goat carved into each end, built at a forge from 30 Fine Wood, 6 Black Metal, 4 Tar and 20 Iron Nails. It follows the game's fermenter times and amounts, and PotatoTweaks' fermenter settings when that's installed. One kind of mead base at a time unless the server turns on Mix mead bases.
• The trough and the roost are now built at a forge instead of a workbench.
• The trough is 10% bigger, and its texture is evened out so its underside is no longer chunkier than the rest.
• The roost's texture is re-made more cleanly, without blotches on flat areas.
• A rewritten mod page with small piece icons.

1.1.3

• Gullinbursti's Trough holds 100 pieces of food (was 40), and a full trough shows more food. A server that already has a config keeps its own number: set Capacity to 100 there.
• Mixed foods are mashed together in the bowl instead of lying in groups, and the food sits down in the bowl rather than on top of it. A new trough screenshot on the mod page.

1.1.2

• Gullinkambi's Roost is 1.3 times bigger (about 2.5 m long), so it stands over your hens.
• Up to 12 eggs show in the cubbies, four to a cubby, huddled together in a clutch at a natural size.
• A new screenshot of the bigger roost on the mod page, and a link to the author's Discord for questions (bug reports stay on GitHub).

1.1.1

• The models, textures, icon and screenshots are now under CC BY-NC 4.0; the code stays MIT.

1.1.0

• New: Gullinkambi's Roost, a fine wood and black metal nesting box with rooster-head ends (hammer, Furniture, 10 Fine Wood and 2 Black Metal at a workbench). It gathers the eggs your hens lay nearby, so the flock keeps laying, and keeps each egg's star level. With a fire nearby it hatches its eggs, a chick every 5 minutes after the first, to keep the flock at 6 hens and chicks (Flock size setting); eggs already warming by a fire are left to hatch, E switches gathering off, and Shift + E takes the eggs. The eggs show in its three cubbies.
• Screenshots on the mod page, and a clearer introduction.

1.0.0

• First release, with Gullinbursti's Trough, a feeding trough: bronze and wood with boar-head ends (hammer, Furniture, 10 Wood and 2 Bronze at a workbench). Load it with food from your hotbar; hungry animals within 25 m (the server's Reach setting) walk over and eat from it one bite at a time. The bowl shows what's inside, the food spills out if the trough is broken, and it works in multiplayer and on dedicated servers.
• Pieces are textured like Valheim's own: the same pixel size and sharp pixels.
