The hammer spends the materials in your inventory first, then pulls the rest from chests you can open. 📦

What it does

Place a piece with the vanilla hammer. Materials in your inventory are used first. Anything still missing comes from nearby chests.

  • A closer chest you cannot open is skipped.
  • Every material on the piece can be pulled, including fine wood, metal, and trophies.
  • Chests in range are used nearest first. If they still cannot cover the cost, nothing is taken.
  • The pull happens on the hammer click. If that click does not place the piece, the items go back to the same chests.
  • Chests are left alone while the build menu is open.

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.
