WidePickaxe

Wide Pickaxe

Dig large areas with one swing. You set the radius and depth, pick a square or a circle, and see exactly where you'll dig before you hit.

Also on Nexus Mods: https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/4736

Features

• Adjustable radius: from 1 to 12 m by default, 3 m to start.
• Adjustable depth per hit. By default each hit digs as deep as the vanilla pickaxe.
• Square or circle shape.
• Flat floor: the whole area is dug to the same depth. You can turn this off for vanilla-style fading edges.
• Ground preview: green means within reach, red means too far or protected. The hole is centred on the crosshair.
• HUD: shows width, depth and shape next to the crosshair while you hold a pickaxe.
• Mines rocks too: boulders, ore veins and scrap piles inside the area drop their usual loot. Ore your pickaxe is too weak for is left alone.
• Whole rocks in one hit: hit a boulder, vein or scrap pile directly and all of it comes down at once.
• Fair drops: stone and other drops scale with the dug area and depth, up to one full stack.
• Undo (Alt+Z): restores the terrain and the rocks, and takes back the items the dig gave you, from the ground or from your inventory. It keeps the last 30 digs.
• Toggle (Backspace): switch between wide digging and the vanilla pickaxe.
• English and Russian text.
