StoreAndCraft

Your base runs with you.
Loot finds its chest. One key clears your pockets. Craft, upgrade, and build straight from storage. Feed kilns and smelters with [E] — or toggle auto-fill with B. Cooking stations can auto-drop finished food with N so chests pick it up. Tell each station which wood or ore it’s allowed to take. Storage Displays track your stock by type (pick several at once). Mark favorites with F, find a stack with Y, sort with R, skip a chest with [I]. Carts and ships count too.

Required on the dedicated / hosted server and every PC client (same version). Valheim 1.0 · BepInExPack 5.4.2350+. Console players via crossplay cannot load the mod.

Features

Auto-store

• Ground items are pulled into nearby chests automatically if any one player is in StoreRange of the pile. You can walk off; a buddy standing there is enough.
• Default: a chest only accepts an item if that type is already inside (MustHaveExisting).
• Carts (Vagon) and ships count as containers too.
• Player-built chests only for dump / auto-store (crypts, house spawns, and other world chests are skipped).
• Ward / private area rules still apply.

Dump & quick store

• . — dump allowed inventory stacks into matching nearby player-built chests. If the chest cannot take the whole stack, it fills what fits and leaves the rest.
• Middle mouse (inventory open) — store only the hovered item.
• Hotbar can be skipped (IgnoreHotbar).
• Favorites are never dumped / hover-stored (see below).

Craft & build from chests

• Recipes and hammer pieces count nearby chest contents.
• When you craft / upgrade / build, missing mats are taken from chests directly (not dumped into your backpack first — that used to fill free slots and cancel the craft).
• Craft / upgrade button enables when mats are in inventory or chests.
• Yellow tint on requirement text when part of the count comes from a chest.
• LeaveOneItem (default on): one item stays in each chest so auto-store can keep refilling. That leftover item cannot be spent (craft, build, plant, or station [E]). Turn the setting off if you want to use the last item.

Station refill [E]

Works on smelters, charcoal kilns, cooking stations, fires / torches, fermenters, turrets, etc.:

• Pulls fuel / ore / food from nearby chests when you don’t have it.
• Inventory first: if you already hold a valid item (e.g. deer meat), that is used before chest contents (e.g. boar meat).

Kiln / smelter / cooking auto-fill

• Look at a kiln, smelter, blast furnace, cooking spit, iron cooking station, stone oven, fermenter, or torch / fire with the inventory closed → B toggles auto-fill for that station (saved on the station).
• When fuel or ore hits 0, it sends a full load (smelter max, e.g. 10) from inventory first, then chests within AutoFillRange. Then it waits until that slot is empty again. If chests are empty too, the next chest check is after 20 seconds.
• Cooking / ovens top up free slots (not only when fully empty). Stone oven door hover shows the toggle; food is added even if the under-fire is out (baking still needs fire to cook).
• No chest scans and no “it’s full” spam while the station is still running. Filter still applies (Wood OFF stays OFF).
• F with inventory open is still favorites. Manual [E] refill is unchanged.

Cooking auto-drop

• Look at a cooking spit, iron cooking station, or stone oven (inventory closed) → N toggles auto-drop for that station (saved on the station).
• Finished food falls off as a ground drop so auto-store can put it in a matching chest.
• Pair with B auto-fill for hands-off cooking / baking (fire under the stone oven still required to cook).

Kiln / smelter pull filter

• Look at a kiln or multi-input smelter → Alt+E.
• Skills-style list with [+] / [-] toggles.
• Choose which wood / ore types may be auto-pulled (e.g. turn Wood OFF, leave Core wood ON).
• Saved per station (ZDO). Manual use from inventory is not blocked for types you hold yourself; auto-select / chest pull respects the filter.

Storage Display (Hammer)

• Build Storage Display (wood-sign look).
• [E] → type menu ([+] / [-]), same style as the kiln filter.
• Select one or several types at once (e.g. Wood + Ore); board shows all matching items.
• Chests named with [I] are ignored.
• Place several displays with the same selection next to each other → shared pages (1/2), (2/2), …

Favorites

• Inventory open → hover item → F.
• Gold tint, ★ badge, tooltip line.
• Skipped by dump and hover-store.
• Local file: StoreAndCraft.favorites.txt (not server-synced).

Ignore chests

• Prefix the chest name with [I] → no auto-store, no craft pull, not counted on displays.
• Hover text turns red so ignored chests are easy to spot.
• Rename with Alt+E (or Shift+E alt-use).

Search

• Inventory open → hover an item → press Y.
• Nearest chest that holds it blinks 3 times and gets a map ping.

Sort

• Inventory open → R.
• Bag only: sorts your inventory. Open chest: sorts that chest only (not both).
• Favorites stay put (equipped + hotbar too when IgnoreHotbar is on).

Multiplayer

• Install on server + all clients, same version.
• Server config sync (LockConfig default on).
• Safe chest transfers (no ownership steal while someone has a chest open).

Keys (defaults)

All hotkeys are configurable in the .cfg and stay local (not overwritten by server sync).

Changelog

1.3.39

UI IMPROVEMENTS

• Station hover prompts use one order everywhere: vanilla actions, then two-key shortcuts, then single keys

FIX

• Cooking: raw meat from the hotbar or chests (including Volture meat) works on cooking stations again
• Cooking auto-fill places food on the spit/oven instead of treating it as not allowed
• Stone oven no longer shows a third empty hover on the body (food door and wood only)

1.3.38

FIX

• Cooking from chests: raw meat (including Vulture meat) cooks on the spit/oven again instead of only appearing in your bag
• Remote Automation temporarily disabled (unstable when far from the station)
• Shift+[E] Fill to max works on fireplaces and torches (and cooking-station fuel)

1.3.36

NEW FEATURES

• Ballista (Mistlands turret) auto-fill: press [B] to load ammo from bag and nearby chests

UI IMPROVEMENTS

• Kiln / smelter hover: no duplicate Auto-fill / Fill to max; order is Add → Fill to max → Chest pull filter → Auto-fill
• Favorites: star badge only — no gold tint on the item icon

FIX

• Station auto-fill finds items in nearby chests again when chest inventories looked empty after the wipe-guard (Frost Foundry / smelters / kilns)
• Frost Foundry casts (and other max-stack-1 items) can be pulled from chests again — LeaveOne no longer blocks the only copy

1.3.35

FIX

• Cooking auto-fill (campfire sticks / spit / oven) pulls food from chests again like pressing [E]; stone ovens still fall back to network add when the under-fire is out

1.3.34

NEW FEATURES

• Hold Shift and press [E] on a kiln, smelter, or blast furnace to fill fuel or ore to max from your bag and nearby chests

FIX

• Storage Displays no longer clear nearby chest contents when counting items (stronger empty-load guard)
• Feed Trough keeps food visible and usable after you put carrots or other animal food inside
• Config sync no longer loops forever when the server handshake works but the config package fails; the client keeps local settings and warns once

1.3.33

FIX

• Forge of Potential: chest idols now count and can be spent. LeaveOne does not apply there (one idol in a chest is enough)

1.3.32

FIX

• Select Types menu opens without a long freeze (no full item-list rebuild for every category)

1.3.31

NEW FEATURES

• Station auto-fill: new config StationFillSkipInventory — when on, kilns, smelters, ovens, and fires take from chests only, never from your bag
• Feed Trough: hungry tames walk up to the trough and eat there, like food on the ground
• Auto-drop (N) also works on beehives — honey drops on the ground for auto-store

UI IMPROVEMENTS

• Feed Trough shows a small food sparkle when it has food inside (hidden when empty)
• Storage Display scale: Shift+LMB steps 25% (−2…+4); icon and count stay one pair with room for 4-digit totals; category labels stay fixed
• Storage Display layout: Shift+RMB toggles Classic ↔ Compact on Medium/Large (saved per board). Compact starts each category on its own row (label + items)
• Storage Display type menu: categories on top with on/off toggles, items for the selected category below (icon + one toggle each); faster scroll

FIX

• Storage Displays no longer wipe nearby chests when counting items (iron chests included)
• Dump / sort / auto-fill leave equipment and quick-slot mod overflow alone (e.g. EquipmentAndQuickSlotsPlus Z V B); Wider / Deeper Pockets bag rows work like normal inventory
• Coming back to base after a raid no longer saves empty reinforced chests (lag spike / unload race)
• Feed Trough hover tells you to put food inside
• Storage Display: switching Compact → Classic no longer flickers / blanks the board (Medium header strip restored)
• Storage Display only reads chests — no re-Load over a full bag and no empty Save if a count briefly shows 0
• Large Classic scale grows icon and count together (taller rows); categories pack without overlapping numbers
• Select Types menu uses Valheim fonts (no LiberationSans missing-font spam)

1.3.30

NEW FEATURES

• Storage Display scale: Shift + left click on Medium / Large cycles -10..+10 (icons and counts); Small cycles Name + Amount / No name / Icon only
• Feed Trough: hammer piece (Storage tab) - put animal food inside; nearby hungry tames eat from it

UI IMPROVEMENTS

• Chest rename: Ignore and Show on Display use the new on/off toggle buttons (plus l1-l9 link grid)

FIX

• Safer chest saves so items no longer vanish when a chest briefly looks empty on load
• Empty chests keep their custom rename (no longer lose the name / show broken empty titles)
