StoreAndCraft

Your base runs with you. Loot finds its chest. One key clears your pockets. Craft, upgrade and build straight from storage. Stations refill themselves from chests and put their output back. Storage displays, feed trough, scarecrow and more.

Required on the server and on every client (same version). Valheim 1.0 · BepInExPack 5.4.2350+. Console players cannot load the mod.

Changelog

1.4.2

NEW FEATURES

• Plantable mushrooms (Cultivator): Mushroom, Yellow mushroom and Blue mushroom
  • Plant a mushroom on cultivated ground: it grows spores (3 per mushroom)
  • Plant the spores: they grow mushrooms. Same cycle as carrot and carrot seeds
  • New items: Mushroom spores, Yellow mushroom spores, Blue mushroom spores, each in its colour
  • The scarecrow plants and harvests them too (Mushroom (for spores) and Mushroom spores in its crop list)
• Scarecrow: after a harvest it waits 30 s before planting again, the hover text counts down ("Auto-plant in") and shows the time until the harvest ("Harvest in")
• Scarecrow: seed plants too (Carrot (for seeds), Onion (for seeds) ...): plant the vegetable, harvest seeds, so the seeds never run out
• Scarecrow: the crop list and the hover show how many seeds the whole grid needs

UI IMPROVEMENTS

• Mod manager: scrollbar next to the list (drag it with the mouse)
• Station label for an empty input says what the station takes: Wood (kiln), Grain (windmill), Flax (spinning wheel), Ore (smelter)
• Much quieter log: only real problems show up

FIX

• Scarecrow: Level ground and Cultivate only touch the planted grid (before they reached far beyond it), pressing again no longer makes spikes
• Scarecrow: no seeds are planted where a plant would have no room to grow, and a stuck plant no longer blocks the harvest
• Scarecrow: choosing another crop while the old one is still growing no longer leaves the old one unharvested
• Scarecrow: harvest after a plant has just grown no longer waits a whole minute
• Feed trough, scarecrow and displays were magenta (no texture) with Vulkan / DirectX 12
• Only stations chests are no longer used for crafting, building or Epic Loot, only by stations and links

• All menus in Valheim look, darker at night like vanilla
• New models for the carved displays, new hammer icons (displays, trough, scarecrow)
• Sorting moved from R to the Sort button

FIX

1.3.44

NEW FEATURES

• F10 settings panel: sliders and number fields for all ranges, activity log checkbox, Save button, short info on what each range does. On a server only admins (adminlist) can save; in a solo world everyone can
• New AutoFillChestRange: stations take items from chests around the station, not around the player (0 = same as AutoFillRange)
• Putting items into a chest wakes nearby stations right away (about 1 s instead of up to 25 s)
• Changing a station filter or link with Alt+E makes the station react at once

UI IMPROVEMENTS

• Activity log / settings key moved from F11 to F10 (F11 is the Valheim screenshot key). Old F11 configs switch over automatically

FIX

• Auto-fill stopped for kilns, smelters and windmills when many torches or fires were in range
• All stations now get a fair turn, so a large base no longer starves stations at the end of the list
• Two players near the same station no longer fill it twice at the same time
• A cooking station with no allowed food no longer blocks auto-fill for other stations

1.3.43

NEW FEATURES

• Auto-store (N) on the fermenter: finished mead goes into a nearby chest (ground only if no matching chest)
• Fire and torch hover shows the remaining burn time in minutes, in green next to the name
• F11 activity log shows every mod action: dump, store, take stack, auto-store from the ground, craft and build pulls, build grab, station [E], feed trough, sort, auto-stack, B / N toggles, station filter and link, chest rename, config changes

UI IMPROVEMENTS

• Fires and torches no longer show Alt+E Settings (they only take wood or resin)

FIX

• Shift+E on fires fills to max again instead of adding only 1 wood
• Range settings are limited to 0-1000 m in the config file and in chat commands
• Fires and torches ignore station links and take fuel from unlinked chests

1.3.42

NEW FEATURES

• F11 toggles an activity log (up to 10 lines under the TopLeft status text, same font as "You are cold"; starts off). Lines like Chest 10x Tin -> Smelter / Kiln 5x Coal -> Chest
• Auto-store (N): finished kiln / smelter / blast-furnace bars, cooking food, and beehive honey go into nearby chests (independent from Auto-fill B)
• Station Alt+E filter also blocks manually inserting denied wood / ore / food from your bag (not only chest pull)

UI IMPROVEMENTS

• Station output toggle (N) labeled Auto-store / Auto-Lagern
• Alt+E labeled Settings everywhere (chest, station, hover)
• Station Settings: Display-style item cells (sprite + name + toggle, 2 per row); link grid (l1-l9) in Valheim bronze style, sized and placed in the parchment margin
• Chest rename link grid sits a few pixels higher (no panel-edge clip)
• Large Storage Display category labels show the full name again (Scale / Layout); Medium/Large keep readable amounts

FIX

• Auto-store (N) deposit order: matching linked chest first (item already inside); if full, unlinked chest that already holds the item; never a different link - otherwise ground drop
• Auto-fill (B) never takes from your bag - chests only (matching link, or both unlinked). Removed StationFillSkipInventory config
• Auto-fill uses chests around the station (not only around the player) while you stay in range; reacts faster and retries once on a stale chest view
• Station link l1-l9: kiln/smelter/oven/fire no longer pull from the wrong channel
• Removed Remote Automation completely (including background keep-alive / zone scans)
• Opening rename chest no longer spams LiberationSans font missing warnings

1.3.41

FIX

• Station auto-fill / Shift+[E] fill-to-max no longer take from your bag by default (StationFillSkipInventory defaults to on). Set it to false in config if you want bag-first

1.3.40

FIX

• Storage Displays no longer flicker when changing Scale or Layout
• Kiln / smelter chest pull no longer takes wood or ore from unlinked chests
• Food Preparation Table: Raw Fish (and other only-one-ingredient recipes) craft from nearby chests and remove the fish from the chest

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)
