🥩 AutoFeedRedux
Automated creature feeding and container management for Valheim.
Tired of tossing stacks of berries, mushrooms, and meat onto the muddy pen floor only for half of it to despawn or get trampled? AutoFeedRedux automates the feeding routine for your tamed livestock and beasts. Tames will dynamically pathfind to nearby storage containers (chests, carts, barrels) and eat directly from them when hungry!
🐾 How It Works
- 📦 Container Feeding: Place a storage container inside or near your animal pens and stock it with their favorite foods (carrots, turnips, berries, meats, etc.).
- 🧭 Dynamic Pathfinding: When an animal becomes hungry, it senses nearby food containers within range and pathfinds directly to the chest.
- 🍽️ Direct Consumption: Upon arriving within proximity of the container, the creature consumes the food directly from the container's inventory.
- 🛡️ Container Protection: While wild creatures are in the process of being tamed, they are discouraged from attacking the food containers they feed from.
⚙️ Configuration & Settings
All settings can be tailored in real-time using the in-game BepInEx Configuration Manager (default hotkey: F1) or via the configuration file.
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Enable Auto Feeder | true |
Enables or disables the auto-feeding mechanics globally. |
| Feed Range (Meters) | 30.0m |
Maximum search radius in meters from the creature to detect food containers. |
| Require Move to Feed | true |
When enabled, animals must physically walk to the container to eat. When disabled, animals eat remotely within range. |
| Move Proximity | 1.0m |
The stopping distance in meters from the container required for the animal to consume food. |
| Protect Containers | true |
Discourages wild creatures in the taming process from attacking food containers. |
| Disallow Feed | (Empty) | Comma-separated list of item names to forbid creatures from eating (e.g. Carrot, Turnip). |
| Disallow Animal | (Empty) | Comma-separated list of creature names to exclude from auto-feeding (e.g. Boar, Lox). |
🛡️ Advanced Safeguards
- 🔒 Anti-Despawn & Waste Prevention: Eliminates the need to drop loose food items on the ground, keeping your pens clean and preventing item despawns.
- ⚡ Optimized Performance: Creature feeding searches are event-driven with zero per-frame update loops.
- 🌐 ServerSync Enforced: On dedicated servers, all configuration rules are securely managed by server administrators and synchronized to connected clients.
