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. Small / Medium / Large Storage Displays with Shift + left click scale / layout. Build a Feed Trough so tames eat when hungry. Mark favorites with F, fill a stack with Ctrl + Middle mouse, find a stack with Y, sort with R. Rename chests with Alt+E (Ignore / Show on Display toggles). 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.
• Toggle ground vacuum with AutoIntakeEnabled or chat /store disable / /store enable — dump and middle-click keep working either way.
• 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.
• Ctrl + Middle mouse (inventory open) — Pull Stack: fill the hovered stack from matching items in nearby chests.
• 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.
• C + place (hammer): hold C while confirming a hammer build to grab that piece’s materials from nearby chests into your inventory (nothing is placed). Each grab-click can pull another full piece-cost set. Remap with BuildGrabKey. Shift stays free for vanilla no-snap.

Epic Loot

• Supports Epic Loot — chest craft/build pull, Storage Displays (Dust / Essence / Reagent / Shard / Runestone), and the Enchanting Table (Sacrifice / Enchant / Upgrade / …) use nearby chest stock.
• Enchanting Table spend does not apply LeaveOneItem (a single Runestone in a chest still counts). Vanilla craft / smelter leave-one is unchanged.

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, multi-input smelter, cooking station, or similar → Alt+E.
• Skills-style list with [+] / [-] toggles.
• Choose which wood / ore / food types may be auto-pulled (e.g. turn Wood OFF, leave Core wood ON).
• Same menu: l1–l9 station link (3×3). Chests with matching [lN] are preferred; l: none = untagged chests only.
• 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 Small, Medium, or Large Storage Display.
• Small: assign with hotbar 1–8 while looking at it. Shift + left click cycles Name + Amount → No name → Icon only (sprite centers when alone). Alt+E still opens the Name / Amount toggle panel if you prefer.
• Medium / Large: [E] → type menu ([+] / [-]). Pick several types at once. Shift + left click cycles Display Scale (−10…+10) on that board only — icons and counts grow together; fewer items per row at higher scale. Hover shows e.g. Display Scale : +3.
• Food, Ingredients, and Epic Loot expand for subs.
• Up to 12 categories per Large board (yellow message if you try more).
• Large: category bands with labels on the left and dense item rows; overflow shows + when there are more stacks than fit.
• Chests set to Ignore (without Show on Display) are not counted.
• Place several displays with the same selection next to each other → shared pages (1/2), (2/2), …
• Alt+R → per-display chest scan range (5–50 m).

Feed Trough (Hammer)

• Build a Feed Trough (Storage tab) — narrow bed-shaped trough for animal food.
• Put carrots, cloudberries, etc. inside; nearby hungry tameables eat matching food automatically.
• Not used by dump, auto-store, craft pull, or Storage Displays.
• Config: FeedTroughEnabled, FeedTroughRange.

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).

Rename / ignore / hide / link chests

• Look at a chest → Alt+E (or Shift+E alt-use) opens rename.
• Ignore and Show on Display use the new on/off toggle buttons (not typing prefixes by hand):
  • Ignore on → chest is skipped by dump / auto-store / craft / auto-fill (stored as [I]).
  • Ignore + Show on Display → still skipped by dump/store/craft, but counted on Storage Displays (stored as [H]).
• l1–l9 link grid on the same panel → tag the chest for a station link (same colors on chest + station hover).
• Empty renamed chests keep their custom name.

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. Sort never moves items into the hotbar (even when IgnoreHotbar is off).

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

1.3.32

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)
