Automatic Fuel

Updated for Valheim 1.0

Some notes for 1.0 There was a rather large change in the code base for 1.0 As a result you will notice some additional logging. I will turn that off later but it is will help if there are issues reported.

This has been running stable on my build but please let me know if you encounter any errors.

Fuels torches, campfires, windmills, spinning wheels, hearths, kilns and smelters

  • now fuels, cooks and drops food from oven
  • make windmills move faster
  • Fuels from the ground
  • Fuels from chests and custom chests
  • Stack Smelters - Default is True: Removes most smoke and isblocked check
  • Remove the ServerSync Version and Client checks. Default is True and does check. Can be turned off in the config.
  • Blast Furnace can take all Fuel - NEW -

I'll do my best to help with any issues.

The server config will push down.

For Servers that cannot use mods, simply install this on the clients only and it will work just fine. Clients will all need

the same settings in their config files for optimal results.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. 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.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. 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.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
