Watchtowers

Watchtowers

Build watchtowers that reveal the land around them on your map. Three tiers, from a wooden lookout to a towering black marble beacon, each with an always-lit torch on top so your towers mark the way home at night.

Towers

| Tower | Reveal radius | Height | Crafting station | Cost | Torch | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Wood Watchtower | 300 m | 8 m | Workbench | 30 Wood | Wood torch | | Stone Watchtower | 600 m | 10 m | Stonecutter | 30 Stone, 10 Wood | Green torch | | Marble Watchtower | 1200 m | 12 m | Stonecutter | 20 Black Marble, 10 Fine Wood | Blue torch |

All three are in the Misc tab of the Hammer.

How it works

• The map is revealed as soon as a tower is built, and the reveal is saved with your character.
• In multiplayer, every player who comes near a tower gets the reveal too, so towers work as shared scouting posts.
• The torches are decorative: they never need fuel and don't provide warmth.
• Towers are solid: you can stand on top and build against them. There are no built-in stairs, so build your own way up.

Configuration

Edit the settings in r2modman's Config editor (file guimas.Watchtowers.cfg), or in BepInEx/config. Restart the game after changing them.

| Setting | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | Reveal radius / Wood | 300 | Meters revealed around a Wood Watchtower (50 to 5000) | | Reveal radius / Stone | 600 | Meters revealed around a Stone Watchtower (50 to 5000) | | Reveal radius / Marble | 1200 | Meters revealed around a Marble Watchtower (50 to 5000) | | Visuals / Fire on top | true | Show the always-lit torch on top of each tower |

The map is made of 64 m squares, so reveal circles are approximate.

Multiplayer

Every player and the server must have the mod installed. Players without it can't join a server that has it, and vice versa.

Requirements

• BepInExPack Valheim
• Jötunn

r2modman installs both automatically.
