About this mod Author’s original text
AutoFillFires
Keep your torches and fires lit without the busywork. AutoFillFires tops up nearby
fires and torches from your chests — either instantly with a hotkey, or automatically
on a timer — so you still gather fuel, but never manually refill again.
Features
- Manual hotkey (default: F) — instantly fills every fire and torch in range from
your inventory and nearby chests.
- Automatic refill — every few seconds, tops up nearby fires from nearby chests.
By default it does not touch the fuel you're carrying, so gathering still matters.
- Works on all fuel-burning fires: standing torches, wall torches/sconces, campfires,
hearths, bonfires, and braziers — each using its correct fuel (wood, resin, coal,
greydwarf eyes, etc.).
- Skips fires set to infinite fuel so materials are never wasted.
- Fully configurable: hotkey, fire search range, chest search range, auto-fill on/off,
interval, whether auto-fill may use your inventory, and on-screen notifications.
How it works
Everything is measured from you, the player. When a fill runs, it gathers the fires
within the fire range and the chests within the chest range around your position, then
moves fuel from those chests into those fires. Since Valheim only simulates the area
around players, fires only burn — and only need topping up — while you're nearby.
Configuration
Settings live in BepInEx/config/yourname.autofillfires.cfg, or edit them in-game with
Configuration Manager (F1). Key options:
- General / Hotkey — the manual fill key (default F). Set to None to rely purely on auto-fill.
- General / Range — how far to look for fires (default 30m).
- Chests / ChestRange — how far to look for fuel chests (default 20m).
- Automatic / AutoFill — turn timed auto-fill on/off (default on).
- Automatic / IntervalSeconds — how often auto-fill runs (default 10s).
Multiplayer
Client-side. For a shared base, only one player needs it running — the fires update in
the shared world for everyone. Auto-fill runs around whoever has the mod, so if you want
the base kept lit whenever either player is home, install it on both.
Installation (manual)
Place AutoFillFires.dll in your BepInEx/plugins folder. Requires BepInExPack Valheim.
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
