About this mod Author’s original text
Teflon Ted's Fuel From Chests
One mod, one job — no kitchen-sink configs or feature creep.
What it does
Processing stations pull fuel and inputs from chests within ~4 m — while running, and when you press E with empty hands.
Why install it
Keeps kilns and smelters fed without constant hand-loading from adjacent storage.
How to use it
- Install with BepInEx.
- Place chests with fuel/ore within ~4 m of the station intakes.
- Let the station run, or press E empty-handed to top it up.
Kiln auto-feed uses plain wood only (fine/core wood stay manual). Frost Foundry pulls Liquid Frost; stone ovens do not auto-drain wood.
Client-side convenience — works on any server.
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:
