HotDeposit

HotDeposit adds Grounded-style storage depositing to Valheim.

Default Controls

Both deposit actions default to H.

[02 - Hotkeys]
EnableKeyBinds = true
AllDeposit = H
HoveredChest = H
LockKeybind = LeftAlt + Mouse0

With the shared H key:

• while hovering an eligible player-built chest, H uses the hovered-chest action;
• while not hovering a chest, H uses normal All Deposit.

Combined Lock Keybind

LockKeybind = LeftAlt + Mouse0

Hotbar and automatically protected BetterArchery / EquipmentAndQuickSlots items remain non-lockable.

Storage Range

[03 - Storage]
DepositDistance = 10

The default remains 10 metres and the supported range remains 1-300 metres.

Version 1.0.1 now spatially buckets stationary storage. A deposit only visits grid cells intersecting DepositDistance; chests outside those cells are not inspected, access-checked, inventory-read, ownership-checked, or item-indexed. This keeps 10m searches very small and makes 300m searches scale with the requested area instead of every loaded chest in the world.

Full Configuration

[01 - General]
Enabled = true

[02 - Hotkeys]
EnableKeyBinds = true
AllDeposit = H
HoveredChest = H
LockKeybind = LeftAlt + Mouse0

[03 - Storage]
DepositDistance = 10
IgnoreHotbar = true
IgnoreEquipped = true
HoveredChestDepositAll = true
ShowHoverPrompt = true

[04 - Item Lock]
ShowLockIcon = true

[05 - Notifications]
ShowDepositPopup = true

ShowHoverPrompt is retained so existing configs remain compatible, but the per-container Container.GetHoverText patch is disabled in this performance build. The H actions still work normally. This removes HotDeposit from Valheim's chest camera/look-direction path while the mod is idle.

Performance

Version 1.0.1 includes the large-storage optimization pass:

• stationary containers are stored in a 32m spatial grid;
• range culling happens before component, access, inventory, ownership, or item-content work;
• 10m no longer walks the full loaded container registry;
• 300m visits only spatial cells intersecting the configured search area;
• dynamic/moving storage is tracked separately and checked only when H is pressed;
• no full destroyed-container prune runs on every deposit; cleanup is lazy in visited cells;
• the first normal H press avoids a redundant global FindObjectsByType<Container> scan when Container.Awake has already populated the registry;
• chest inventories are indexed once per deposit rather than rescanned for every player inventory item;
• compatible partial-stack lists are reused;

Deposit behavior remains player-built storage only, matching item types only, partial stacks first, then new stacks round-robin across matching chests.
