OpenKeep

Storage for Valheim, plus a few base tweaks.

Features

• Reach: craft, build and feed stations from nearby chests, ships and carts.
• Stow: quick stack, store all, top up, sort, route and trash, by button or hotkey.
• Crafting: a Salvage tab returns materials; craft many at once.
• Stacks and Capacity: stack sizes, weights, chest and station sizes, contents on hover.
• Off by default: cart workbenches, contents signs on chests, two players in one chest.
• Homestead: pick your bed after death, faster respawns and portals, campfires on wood, honey per day, fires, smelters and pets fed from chests, night-only torches, quicker Rested, area and auto repair.
• Works with PackPanel, the inventory mod; neither needs the other.

Install

Needed on the server and every client. Install with r2modman or the Thunderstore app, or put OpenKeep.dll in BepInEx/plugins.

• Lowering a stack size, or removing the mod, loses items above the new limit.
• Items in an enlarged chest's extra rows are hidden without the mod.
• Before removing the mod, switch off Signs and Torches Night Only, then visit your bases by day.
• In the Ashlands (or with the Fire world key) a campfire sets its wooden floor alight.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/milkyteam.openkeep.cfg and seven OpenKeep.*.yml files. Every setting is described in the file and applies without a restart; the server's values bind every player. Console: openkeep help.

Changelog

2.4.0

• Quick World Save (on by default): the game stands still for a much shorter moment while the world saves. Server or host only.

2.3.0

• Reach: ship and cart storage counts only for the player sailing or pulling it.
• Reach: crafting from a chest another player used last may first say "Fetching the materials from storage, try again".
• Fixed: chests and drops another player's game held could lose or duplicate items.
• Shared chests and Blueprints: a moved stack or handed-over materials come back if no answer arrives.
• Fixed: hotkeys ignored after Shift, Ctrl or Alt was released in another window.
• Lighter on frame rate and server near many chests, signs and construction sites.
• Update the server and every client together.

2.2.1

• Blueprints: the build camera comes out with B, as in normal building, instead of by itself.
• Blueprints: ghost buildings are a little easier to see.

2.2.0

• Stow: Auto Tidy (off by default): nearby chests send stray items to the chest they belong in, learning where players put things.
• Blueprints (off by default): a Blueprints tab in the hammer saves buildings and places them as construction sites built as materials come in.
• Blueprints: Copy building, folders, Fix ground and a Site planner queue.
• Stow: chest cycling with the wheel waits while EliteCrafting scrolls a tooltip.
• Console: openkeep tidy and openkeep blueprint.

2.1.1

• Recipe Tracker: narrower, only as wide as its rows; -, + and the amount show with the inventory open.
• Recipe Tracker: an X at the left of each recipe removes it while the inventory is open.
• Fixed: the tracker's -, + and X buttons never showed.

2.1.0

• Salvage: the tab's list leaves out the hotbar and PackPanel's slots; the Salvage Key still works on them.
• Salvage: with Epic Loot, magic items show their rarity background on the tab.

2.0.2

• Fixed: with Epic Loot, recipe tile and button tooltips showed far from what they describe.

2.0.1

• Homestead: on the bed choice map a double click places a map pin, also on a bed.
• Reach: lighter on the frame rate with the crafting or build panel open near many chests.
• Faster loading: the config file is written once instead of once per setting.

2.0.0

• Quick portals moved to Wayfare: install it for quick jumps. Quick Area Loading now speeds respawns only.
• Build Camera: build from a free camera near a crafting station (B with a build tool).
• Recipe List: search (Ctrl+F, @material), favourite recipes, grid views.
• Recipe Tracker: right click a recipe to pin its materials on screen.
• Batch crafting: Craft Speed makes crafting faster or slower; the mouse wheel changes the amount.
• Homestead: on the bed choice map, beds sit above other icons; the nearest is pinged.
• Fixed: Ctrl + click stopped at a full chest instead of filling the open chest.

1.14.0

• Stow: Ctrl + click on an item no nearby chest holds puts it in the chest you have open.
• Reach: Epic Loot's enchanting table uses materials from nearby chests (the Crafting switch).

1.13.1

• Stow: new Sort Order Amount: the item you have the most of comes first.
• Homestead: your bed icons are yellow on the minimap and the large map.
• Homestead: while you choose a bed after death, bed icons are twice the size and pulsing; the countdown sits upper left.

1.12.0

• Homestead: Bed Choice Seconds: dying opens the map to pick a bed; otherwise you wake in the nearest.
• Homestead: every bed you own shows on your map (Beds On Map).
• Homestead: Quick Respawn: the nearer your bed to where you died, the sooner you wake.
• Homestead: Stand Up On Respawn: you wake standing after a death.
• Homestead: Quick Portals: the nearer two portals are, the quicker the jump.
• Homestead: a jump within the loaded area skips the black screen (Portal Screen Only When Loading).

1.11.0

• The game's armour and weight readouts stay as the game draws them; the trash can is a plate in the game's style.
• The trash can sits where trash can mods expect one, so Jewelcrafting, CurrencyPocket, OttoPay and TrashItems fit around it.
• Fixed: the trash can stayed red after a click.

1.10.0

• Fixed: Jewelcrafting threw errors on every pickup and inventory close, and chests closed that way stayed in use (GitHub #4, #5).
• Fixed: mods that add a box beside the armour (CurrencyPocket, OttoPay, TrashItems and others) were broken since 1.8.0.
• Boxes other mods add join the stat column instead of covering one of its boxes.
• Stow: Trash Can On Stat Column (per player): off puts the trash can in the button row.

1.9.0

• Homestead: Auto Repair: opening a crafting station repairs every item it can, worn gear included, for free.
• Stow: Ctrl + click and Store one (V) go on to the next chest holding the item when one is full.
• Stow: with Shared Chests = Full, quick stack and dump send what a shared chest cannot take to the next chest.

• Batch crafting: Reach's Pull modifier + Craft pulls the materials for the whole batch.
• Works with PackPanel: stowing and sorting use its grid but never its slots.

• Fixed: hotkeys with a modifier (LeftAlt + D) did not fire while W was held.
• Homestead: Pets Eat From Chests: hungry tamed animals eat from nearby chests.
• Homestead: Auto Feed Leave (1): self-feeding stations leave that many of each item in every chest.
