CookFromStorage

Cook meals and brew mead straight from nearby chests. Leave the ingredients in storage, not in your pockets.

Supported stations

• Cooking Station - add raw meat from storage.
• Iron Cooking Station - load its accepted cooking ingredients from storage.
• Stone Oven - bake using stored ingredients.
• Cauldron - see available ingredients and craft food using storage.
• Food Preparation Table - prepare recipes using stored ingredients.
• Mead Ketill - craft mead bases using storage.
• Fermenter - load a stored mead base into an empty, sheltered Fermenter.

From preparing ingredients to cooking dinner and brewing your next batch, CookFromStorage handles the whole food-and-mead workflow.

By Hoose.

How it works

• Keep ingredients in accessible storage within 20 meters of your player (configurable from 1 to 100 meters).
• Use stations normally. Recipe ingredient counts include nearby storage; press E to add one accepted ingredient to a rack, oven or empty Fermenter.
• Your inventory is used first. Ingredients can stay in storage until needed.
• Collect cooked food and finished mead normally. Collection does not also load another ingredient.
• Normal recipes, station requirements, fire, shelter, capacity and storage permissions still apply. Busy or inaccessible storage is skipped.
• Compatible modded cooking stations and Fermenter conversions use their current accepted inputs.
• Nothing is filled automatically when the world loads or while stations run.

This mod supplies ingredients, not fuel. Frost Foundry casts stay manual; CookFromStorage does not load them from storage.

Installation

Install with r2modman or the Thunderstore Mod Manager. Requires BepInExPack_Valheim, which the mod manager installs for you.

For manual installation, place CookFromStorage.dll and the included ValheimMods.Common.dll together in BepInEx/plugins/CookFromStorage/. Keep only one installed copy of each DLL.

Install on each player's client; no server plugin is required.

Configuration

Settings are in BepInEx/config/hoose.valheim.cookfromstorage.cfg; each setting's description lists what it controls.

• Automation/Automatic ingredients - use storage ingredients for food recipes, cooking stations and Fermenters. Enabled by default.
• Storage/Storage radius - how far your storage is searched, from 1 to 100 meters. Default 20.

Stack with other mods

Works well with SupplyFromStorage (keeps your cooking fires, oven and machines fueled from storage), CraftFromStorage (non-food recipes and equipment upgrades) and AutoRepair (repairs your gear when you use a station). CookFromStorage and CraftFromStorage share one recipe engine, so ingredients are never counted or consumed twice. Every storage mod uses the same 20 m default radius, and each can be set separately.
