Getting Started
Updated 2 weeks agoOpenKeep is storage for Valheim in one mod: craft, build and feed stations from nearby chests; quick stack, sort, route and trash; salvage, batch crafting and craft speed; recipe search, favourite recipes, grid views and a recipe tracker; stack sizes, weights, chest sizes, station capacities and contents signs. Its Homestead section adds base tweaks: a choice of bed after death, quicker respawns, campfires on wood, honey rate, fires, smelters and pets fed from chests, night-only torches, quicker Rested and repairs. A build camera lets you build from a free camera near a crafting station.
This wiki describes version 2.1.0.
Install
- Install with r2modman or the Thunderstore app, or put
OpenKeep.dllinBepInEx/plugins. Needs BepInExPack for Valheim. - Multiplayer: install it on the server and every client, same version.
Most features are on by default. Off by default: cart workbenches, contents signs, ground pickup, shared chests and the personal chest.
Configuration
All files are in BepInEx/config, written on the first start. Edits apply without a restart.
| File | What it holds |
|---|---|
milkyteam.openkeep.cfg |
Every setting, each described in the file. |
OpenKeep.Reach.yml |
Which containers OpenKeep may use; what stations may take from them. |
OpenKeep.Salvage.yml |
Items never salvaged; return fractions. |
OpenKeep.Stow.yml |

- After a world loads,
OpenKeep.Items.txt,OpenKeep.Containers.txtandOpenKeep.Stations.txtlist every prefab name the YAML files need. - A YAML file with an error is ignored and the previous rules stay; the log names the bad entry.
- With a configuration manager, each YAML file has an
Edit ...entry. - Server settings come from the server in multiplayer. Player settings (keys, display, colours, sort order) are always your own.

Keys
Every key can be rebound in the cfg, main key first (R + LeftAlt); empty switches it off. Keys never fire while you type, inventory keys work only with the inventory open, and a single key such as F does not fire while Shift, Ctrl or Alt is held. Each page lists its keys.
