Basements

Basements

Expand into the earth with a placeable basement.

Compatible with Valheim 1.0 Deep North Update.

Features

• Adds Basement to the hammer's Misc. build category.
• Costs 200 Stone and 100 Wood, and requires a nearby Stonecutter.
• Supports nested basements; the default limit is five levels.
• Allows unrestricted building inside the basement.
• Returns its construction materials when dismantled after its interior is clear.

Install

Recommended: install with Gale. Gale supports both the Hexium and Thunderstore catalogs and can import existing mod-manager profiles.

Manual: install BepInExPack Valheim, then place Basements.dll in Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/.

Configuration

The config file is BepInEx/config/com.rolopogo.Basement.cfg.

For an in-game settings menu, optionally install BepInEx Configuration Manager and press F1.

Setting — Default — Description

Lock Configuration — true — When enabled, server administrators control synchronized settings.

Max nested basements — 5 — The maximum number of basement levels that can be placed inside one another.

Settings reload when the config file changes. Basements uses ServerSync: install the same package on a server when you want the server configuration to apply to every player. ServerSync is included in Basements; do not install a separate ServerSync.dll.

Compatibility

Basements works alongside QuickTeleport. QuickTeleport changes portal and dungeon travel timing; it does not change basement placement or construction behavior.

Troubleshooting

• If Basement is missing from the hammer, confirm that Basements.dll is under BepInEx/plugins/, then look in the hammer's Misc. category and check the BepInEx log for Basements.
• If nesting stops earlier than expected, check Max nested basements in the config file or Configuration Manager.
• When Lock Configuration is enabled, change synchronized settings on the server.
