README

Pitchit

Permanent rain protection for your exposed wooden builds. Craft a batch of pitch at a workbench, put it on your hotbar, aim at a nearby wooden building piece, and press that slot. One dose treats one piece.

Three grades, less gathering

Batch Ingredients Pieces covered
Resin pitch 4 Resin 3
Tar pitch 4 Resin, 2 Tar 6
Sap pitch 4 Resin, 2 Tar, 2 Sap 9

Each output item is one dose. Higher grades make more doses per batch, not temporary or stronger immunity. Batch coverage is 3, 6 and 9 pieces per grade.

What it does and does not do

  • Coatings persist with the individual building piece. No routine reapplication.
  • Works on player-built rain-sensitive Wood, HardWood and Timberwood pieces.
  • Does not repair damage. Combat, fire, lack of structural support, underwater wear, snow, lava and event damage remain native.
  • Rain wetness visuals and native wetness behavior remain intact.
  • Already-coated, invalid, distant or ward-protected targets do not consume another dose.
  • Normal interaction reach is used. All overlapping wards must permit you.
  • Dropped pitch uses a tinted native resin shape loaded from your installed game, with original runtime-drawn icons. No game assets are distributed.
  • Destroying/rebuilding a piece makes a new uncoated piece; coating is not returned on dismantle.

Installation and compatibility

Requires BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2351. Install the matching Pitchit version on the server and every client before using it. There is currently no automatic peer/version handshake. Mixed installations are unsupported: a peer without Pitchit can resume ordinary rain damage and cannot resolve the custom pitch items.

This is an initial test build. Multiplayer ownership transfer has source review but has not been validated with independent connected players. Do not deploy directly to your group world. Test in a separate profile/world and keep backups. Other mods that replace weather wear or alter custom-item registration may conflict.

Removal

Remove or spend all pitch items before uninstalling, then back up the world and profiles. Existing coated pieces return to ordinary weather behavior while the mod is absent; the saved marker itself is harmless. Reinstalling restores its effect. Do not remove this mod mid-session.
