SmolCraft

Your base, but smol. SmolCraft physically shrinks Valheim's production and crafting stations so they fit tighter builds — every station gets its own size slider.

Features

• Furnaces and kilns at 70% out of the box: Smelter, Blast Furnace, Charcoal Kiln, Eitr Refinery, Frost Foundry and Frigid Kiln.
• Every other station is adjustable too (default: vanilla size) — Workbench, Forge, Stonecutter, Artisan Table, Black Forge, Galdr Table, Cauldron, all station upgrades, cooking stations, fermenter, windmill, spinning wheel, and stations added by other mods. They're found automatically.
• Size limits: 40% minimum for smelters/kilns/refineries, 30% for everything else, so nothing gets too tiny to use.
• Smoke-safe shrinking: a shrunk chimney is too small for Valheim's fixed-size smoke puffs, which makes stations stall with "needs ventilation". SmolCraft keeps the smoke exit at its vanilla height so smoke clears the shrunk chimney normally.
• Smokeless Stations (optional): SmolCraft stations stop making smoke and can never be smoke-blocked. Campfires, hearths and braziers are not affected.
• Multiplayer: the server's settings are sent to every player who joins, and changes on the server are pushed live. On a server without SmolCraft, each player uses their own settings.
• Live updates: change a slider in Configuration Manager (F1) or edit the .cfg and placed stations resize immediately.

Configuration

File: BepInEx/config/BhimaJenkins.SmolCraft.cfg

The per-station sliders appear after you load into a world once — SmolCraft discovers stations from the game's prefab list, which only exists in-world.

Values are size multipliers: 1.0 = vanilla, 0.7 = 70%.

Adding your own stations

Most modded stations are found automatically. For anything that isn't (or any other buildable piece you want to resize):

1. In 6 - Custom Stations, turn on Log Buildable Piece Names while in a world, then turn it off. The BepInEx log (LogOutput.log or the console) now lists every buildable piece's prefab name, its in-game name, and whether SmolCraft already manages it.
2. Copy the prefab names into Extra Station Prefabs, separated by commas. You can add a starting size after a colon: piece_bigbench:0.6, MyModForge:65%, SomeKiln
3. Each piece gets its own slider in that section. Names are case-sensitive.

Removing a name from the list removes its slider and puts that piece back to vanilla size. Custom pieces that make smoke get the same 40% minimum as smelters; everything else goes down to 30%.

Multiplayer

Install on the server and on every client. With Enforce Server Settings on (default) the server's values win while you're connected; your own sliders come back when you leave. The server's custom list is synced too: players get the server's sizes for those pieces even if they never added them to their own list (as long as they have the mod that adds the piece).

Notes

• Station ranges (build radius, upgrade connection distance) are not changed — only the model and its colliders.
• If you shrink stations a lot indoors and they still stall, turn on Smokeless Stations.

Changelog

0.1.0

• Initial release.
• Per-station size sliders (Configuration Manager), auto-discovered for every smelter, kiln, refinery, crafting station, station upgrade, cooking station and fermenter — including modded ones.
• Smelter, Blast Furnace, Charcoal Kiln, Eitr Refinery, Frost Foundry and Frigid Kiln default to 70%.
• Minimum size limits: 40% for smelters/kilns/refineries, 30% for everything else.
• "Keep Smoke Exit At Vanilla Height" (on by default) so shrunk chimneys don't choke.
• Optional "Smokeless Stations" toggle.
• Custom Stations: add any piece by prefab name (with an optional starting size) and get a slider for it; helper toggle logs every buildable piece's prefab name.
• Server-authoritative settings sync; live updates from Configuration Manager or .cfg edits.
