About this mod Author’s original text
Teflon Ted's Fuel From Ground
One mod, one job — no kitchen-sink configs or feature creep.
What it does
Same stations as Fuel From Chests, but they suck matching item drops off the ground within ~4 m.
Why install it
Lets you run kiln → smelter style assembly lines without picking up every stick of wood or lump of coal.
How to use it
- Install with BepInEx.
- Drop or spit fuel/ore within ~4 m of the station.
- Stations pull matching drops automatically.
Kilns only auto-suck plain wood. Frost Foundry pulls Liquid Frost drops; stone ovens do not auto-drain wood.
Client-side only — 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:
