Workshop Worker

Valheim 1.0 compatible · Works on dedicated servers

Client-side quality-of-life improvements for storage, crafting, production and repairs. No server installation required.

Storage

• Quick stack: send matching items to nearby chests with F10. Hotbar, equipped, quest and reserved items stay with you.
• Chest rules: remember item types even when a chest is empty, set stacking priority, and see how many types each chest remembers.
• Chest labels: add text directly to a container's front, back or sides. Choose white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue or purple.
• Inventory sorting: sort chests or your backpack with a button. Backpack sorting keeps protected items in place and leaves empty special slots alone.
• Reserved slots: protect empty or occupied inventory slots from quick stacking, including expanded inventory slots.
• Shared range: 75 m by default, adjustable up to 100 m. Private-chest and ward access are respected.

Crafting

• Craft and upgrade using ingredients from accessible nearby chests.
• See available/required ingredient counts, such as 24/10.
• Supply vanilla smelters, kilns, blast furnaces, windmills, spinning wheels, cooking stations, ovens, fermenters and fireplaces directly from nearby storage during manual interaction.

Production

• Connect multiple Input, Fuel and Output chests to vanilla production buildings.
• Automatically supply materials and fuel, then deposit finished products.
• View colored connections while hovering over a station, or toggle the visuals off.
• See linked chest counts in the station tooltip.
• Save production connections with your character.

Automation operates on nearby, loaded stations owned by your client. If an output cannot fit in storage, it remains a normal world drop.

Repairs

• Structure repair: press ; to repair accessible, loaded structures within 100 m, respecting wards. No hammer or crafting station is required.
• Equipment repair: click a crafting station's repair hammer once to repair every carried item that station can repair.

Controls

Choose a chest within 30 seconds of selecting a station. Each successful link finishes the selection and shows its connections for five seconds, then only while hovering over the station. Repeat the station-and-chest gesture to connect additional chests. Holding the link modifier suppresses attack and block clicks.

Keybinds, search range, hotbar protection and feature toggles are configurable in BepInEx/config/local.WorkshopWorker.cfg. ExtraSlots is optional; no specific version is required.
