How do you plant a whole field at once in Valheim?

Short answer

Vanilla makes you place seeds one by one with strict spacing. Grid-planting mods let you drag out a whole evenly-spaced field in one action, and companion mods let you plant far more than the default crops.

The details

PlantEasily is the key mod here: it adds batch planting on a configurable grid with your chosen spacing, plus a harvest-all mode. Laying a field goes from minutes of clicking to one motion.

Combine it with PlantEverything so you're not limited to the handful of vanilla crops — you can plant trees, berries, mushrooms and more, which makes a big field actually worth automating.

Add Farming (Smoothbrain) if you want a progression skill that improves yield and speed as you plant, giving agriculture an RPG curve. All three are the classic farming stack.

Related questions

Why is vanilla Valheim planting so slow?
Vanilla enforces per-seed placement and minimum spacing to prevent overlap, so large farms take a lot of clicks. Grid-plant mods automate the spacing and batching.
Can you harvest a whole field at once too?
Yes — PlantEasily and similar mods include a batch-harvest mode, so you collect an entire plot in one action instead of picking each plant.
