README

SmartCraft-Storage

A personal Valheim 1.0 mod that combines storage and station automation into one cohesive package: mass-stashing items into nearby chests, crafting/building with materials pulled straight from chests without opening them, keeping fireplaces, smelters, charcoal kilns and cooking stations fueled and self-collecting, automatically feeding tameable animals from a nearby chest, and repairing all your gear at once.

Requires BepInEx and Jotunn.

Install this on your client, not the server. Every feature runs client-side and is gated on there being a local player — a dedicated server never has one, so installing it there alone won't enable anything. Each player who wants the automation installs it on their own client; the server doesn't need it at all.

  • Quick-stack: Press Shift + E to stash matching items into nearby chests.
  • Lock and restock: Alt + left-click locks an item so quick-stack never moves it. Alt + Ctrl + left-click marks it for restock instead.
  • Restock: Press Ctrl + E to refill every marked item to a full stack from nearby chests, even from zero.
  • Crafting and building: Use materials from nearby chests within a configurable radius (default 20m) — no need to open them.
  • Available amounts: Every ingredient shows what you can actually spend in brackets after the amount it needs — 10(34) — in both the crafting panel and the build HUD, in a compact, exact or spaced format.
  • Repair-all: The station's Repair button fixes every repairable equipped item in one click instead of one at a time.
  • Fuel and ingredients: Fireplaces, smelters, charcoal kilns, and cooking stations pull fuel/ingredients from nearby chests and store their output automatically — each behavior toggleable on its own.
  • Beehives: Honey is harvested automatically as soon as it's ready and stored in the nearest chest, no need to visit the hive.
  • Fermenter: Automatically pulls any mead/potion base from nearby chests and stores the finished product once ready.
  • Animal feeding: Automatically feeds hungry tameable animals from nearby chests, taming or already-tamed.
  • Plant harvest (in test, off by default): Optionally auto-harvests ripe crops near the player into the nearest chest.
  • Epic Loot compatibility (optional): If Epic Loot is also installed, the Enchanter can use materials from nearby chests too. On supported versions, Alt + left-click also protects marked equipment from Sacrifice, including equipment you carry.

Hotkeys

Defaults below — every hotkey is fully configurable in the Configuration Manager, all as full key combos you set by clicking the value and pressing whatever combo you want. The lock and restock-mark combos are independent of each other. They work with a free cursor (no need to have a chest open).

Hotkey (default) Action
Shift + E Quick-stack: stashes items from your inventory into nearby chests that already contain that item. Locked (🔒) and equipped items are never moved.
Ctrl + E Restock: pulls from nearby chest(s) enough of each item marked for restock to fill a full stack in your inventory — even if you currently have none of that item.
Alt + left-click on an inventory item Toggles the lock (🔒) on that stack — locked player stacks are not quick-stacked, and locked chest stacks are reserved from crafting and automatic station inputs.
Alt + Ctrl + left-click on an inventory item Toggles the restock mark (🔵) on that item — defines the list the restock hotkey uses.

Both modifier-clicks replace the normal click (they don't open/move the item) only while the modifier is held.

Lock and restock marks support ExtraSlots and MyLittleUI. Marks follow items between the inventory and extra slots, keep their size when icons are scaled, and avoid duplicate marks when Shield Me Bruh is installed. These mods are optional.

Messages shown by quick-stack and restock are localized (English, Portuguese-Brazilian, Spanish so far) based on your in-game language.
