TurretAmmoFix

TurretAmmoFix

Let your turrets and ballistas actually use all ammo-type items.

In vanilla, a Turret (ballista) only accepts the specific ammo prefabs assigned to its Turret.m_allowedAmmo list. TurretAmmoFix scans every Ammo item in the game (ObjectDB and ZNetScene prefabs) and appends any that are missing to each turret's allowed-ammo list the moment it spawns — so bolt ammo from other mods, custom bolts, and any ItemType.Ammo item can be loaded and fired.

A Valheim BepInEx 5 plugin.

Features

• Works on every Turret (ballista) instance at spawn, including modded ammo.
• No new items, no recipes, no prefab injection, no networking — purely client-side list expansion.
• Fully configurable.

Requirements

• BepInExPack Valheim (installed automatically by your mod manager)

Installation

1. Install through your mod manager (recommended).
2. Manual: drop TurretAmmoFix.dll into BepInEx\plugins\.

How to use

Load the game and place a turret/ballista as usual. Open the turret's ammo-storage slot — every Ammo-type item in your inventory (vanilla bolts, custom bolts, and any ammo added by other mods) will now be loadable. Firing behaviour is unchanged; the mod only expands the allowed-ammo list.

Configuration

Config file is generated on first launch at BepInEx\config\custom.turretammofix.cfg:

| Key | Default | Description | |-----|---------|-------------| | Enabled | true | Master toggle. When false the mod makes no changes. | | AllowAllBoltAmmo | true | Add every ItemType.Ammo item to turrets. |

How it works

A postfix on Turret.Awake collects all Ammo items reachable from ObjectDB.m_items and ZNetScene.m_prefabs, then appends any that are missing to m_allowedAmmo (each entry gets an inactive empty child visual, matching the vanilla pattern).
