Smart Ballista

Transform Valheim's Ballista into a precision automated defense turret! Smart Ballista gives you full control over ammo types, targeting filters, tracking speeds, and ammo consumption, backed by seamless multiplayer ServerSync.

Note: Smart Ballista replaces and supersedes TurretAmmoFix.

A Valheim BepInEx 5 plugin with embedded ServerSync.
