About this mod Author’s original text

Dvergr Reclaimer

An iron machine you build with the Hammer. Fill its crate with old gear and it breaks each piece

back down into materials, using Recycle N' Reclaim's

yields and rules, then puts the results in your chests.

Development build (0.2.0). Balance may still change.

Building it

  • Hammer → Crafting, near a Forge.
  • Costs 10 Iron, 10 Stone and 2 Surtling Cores, so it's available from the Swamp onwards.

Using it

  • Load it: open the Reclaimer and put gear in its crate (8×12). Add Coal too, or keep a chest

of Coal within 8 m.

  • Reclaiming: each item takes 30 seconds, like a Smelter's bar, and 1 Coal. While it works,

the furnace door glows, the fire crackles and the chimney smokes.

  • Results go into chests you built within 10 m, preferring chests that already hold that

material. Private chests and wards are respected. Anything no chest can take drops out of the

chute at the front, the way a Smelter drops its bars. Set "When no chest has room" to Wait to

keep results inside until a chest has space instead.

  • Watch it work: with the crate open, a panel below it shows the coal it holds, the item

being reclaimed (with progress) and what it will produce. Hovering over the Reclaimer shows

the same summary.

The Reclaimer only reclaims recipes that someone on your world has discovered. Every player

counts once they've joined with the mod installed. The AllRecipesUnlocked world modifier lifts

the restriction.

Recycle N' Reclaim's crafting-station rule applies, measured from the Reclaimer: to reclaim iron

gear, a Forge of the item's level must be within 20 m. Items it can't reclaim stay in the crate,

and the hover text says why.

Breaking or deconstructing the Reclaimer drops everything it holds.

With Epic Loot

If Epic Loot is installed, the

Reclaimer also sacrifices items that have no recipe, the way Epic Loot's Enchanting Table does.

That covers trophies and boss items: the Elder's trophy gives a Rare Runestone, for example. It

needs an Enchanting Table within 20 m, and the table's Sacrifice upgrades give the same chance of

double products. Magic gear is still reclaimed, and Recycle N' Reclaim returns its enchanting

materials. Tested with Epic Loot 0.14.13; it's optional.

Requirements

  • BepInExPack for Valheim 5.4.2351+
  • Jötunn 2.30.2+
  • Recycle N' Reclaim 1.4.4 or later (1.4.5 on Hexium; stops at 1.4.4)
  • Optional: Epic Loot 0.14.13+

Install it on the server and every client. Mod versions must match.

Configuration

Settings are in BepInEx/config/greatcoltini.mods.dvergrreclaimer.cfg and synced from the

server. They cover:

  • the time per item;
  • the fuel item and amounts;
  • the fuel and output radii;
  • what to do when no chest has room (drop in front or wait);
  • the recipe gate and the station radius;
  • hiding R'n'R's Reclaim all button on the crate;
  • Epic Loot sacrificing, and whether it needs an Enchanting Table.

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.
