About this mod Author’s original text

Odin's Reclaim

Break items you no longer need back into the materials they were made from.

What it adds

Reclaim tab — at a crafting station, a third tab sits next to Craft and Upgrade. It lists the items in your

inventory that this station can break down. Pick one and press Reclaim: the item goes, half of its materials come back

(the rate is a setting). Upgraded items also give back part of their upgrade materials, and items enchanted with

Epic Loot also give back part of their enchanting materials. A stack (arrows, bolts) gives back its share of the batch

it was crafted in. You need the same station, at the same level, that crafting or upgrading the item needs. After a

reclaim nothing is selected, so a double-click can't take a second item.

Reclaim all (chests) — an open chest gets a recycle button next to Take all and Stack all. Click it, say Yes, and

everything in the chest that can be broken down is; the materials stay in the chest. The right crafting station must be

nearby. By default it only takes single items (weapons, armour, tools) and leaves stacks such as bronze or arrows alone.

Drag the button to move it; it remembers where you left it. Chest rules can keep certain chests or groups out.

Trash can — a Trash tab hangs on the right of your inventory, between the armour and carry weight tabs and in the

same style. Pick an item up (or split a stack), click the Trash tab, say Yes, and it's deleted. Anyone can use it.

Players who may use the Delete key (admins, by default) also get the materials back.

Delete key — with the inventory open, point at an item and press Delete: the item is deleted, and if it has a

recipe you know, all of its materials come back (stacks: at most half, see below). By default only server admins (and

the host / single player) can use it, as in the old mod.

Trash marking — hold X and right-click items in your inventory to mark them with a red outline (drag with the

right button held to mark several). Still holding X, middle click deletes every marked item. Let go of X to cancel.

Undo — Ctrl+Z, within 20 seconds, undoes the last reclaim, delete or trash: the item comes back exactly as it was

and its materials are taken back. Press it again for the one before (up to 10). Chest reclaims can't be undone.

While the inventory is open, a small box under its bottom-right corner lists these controls (with your own keys), and

the mod's messages appear on a strip at the top of the screen, above the inventory.

Item groups

Every item list in the settings (never reclaim, always allow, rate per item, chest rules) takes item names

(SwordIron) and groups: All, Food, Potion, Fish, Swords, Axes, Clubs, Knives, Pickaxes, Polearms, Spears, Bows,

Crossbows, Shields, Armor, Helmets, Ammunition, Utilities, Trinkets, Tools, Equipment, Trophy, Boss Trophy, Materials,

Ores, Metals, Woods, Seeds, Crops, Miscellaneous, Customizations. Make your own in "Custom groups":

Tier 2 = Bronze, PickaxeBronze; Starter = Club, Torch. Examples:

  • Never reclaim: Tools, Metals — Always allow: PickaxeBronze
  • Return rate per item: Armor=0.75, SwordBronze=1
  • Chest rules: piece_chest_private: All; piece_chest_wood: Swords, Bows

What it won't break down

  • Food and meads (items made at the cauldron, food preparation table or mead ketill).
  • Items whose recipe you don't know yet (a setting can allow them).
  • Quest items, items without a recipe (ores, metals, trophies, drops), and anything you list in the settings.
  • Equipped items and the hotbar row are hidden from the Reclaim tab (both settings).
  • Nothing comes back in worlds where crafting is free (the "no crafting cost" world setting).

Stacking items (bronze, nails, arrows) never give back more than half their materials, whatever the rate: crafting

them at high skill gives bonus items, so a higher rate would make materials out of nothing (a setting).

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.
