RecipeManager

RecipeManager

This is a lightweight recipe modification tool. You can define recipes to Add, Modify, Delete etc. It does not run constantly, and it only patches the game for the few settings that need it, while a config uses one of them, see Game patches.

Coming from WackysDB? RM_Import_WackyDB converts its files, see Importing from WackysDatabase.

In Valheim a recipe is something that is crafting at a crafting station, or cooking station etc. For example, to make wood arrows you use a crafting recipe from the workbench.

Building pieces (built with the hammer) are not recipes, furnace conversions (1 ore for 1 ingot etc) are not recipes.

Pieces are almost anything that is placed. Everything built with the hammer, plants placed with the cultivator, placable food etc.

Upgrading to 0.11

A Modify now only changes what it sets, for recipes and pieces as it already did for items. Everything it

leaves out keeps the value the recipe or piece already has. Two things behave differently because of that:

• A recipe Modify without craftedAt keeps the recipe's station. It used to become handcrafted, so write

craftedAt: none if that is what you want. The same goes for minStationLevel, craftAmount,

anyOneResource and the ingredients, which are all kept when left out. A craftedAt naming no station

that exists also used to mean handcrafted, it now keeps the station and says so in the log.

• A piece Modify without requirements keeps the piece's cost. It used to make the piece free, so write

requirements: for a free piece. Every other piece setting left out is kept as well, where it used to be

reset, which could lift a sapling's biome restriction or make a piece deconstructable.

Entries copied out of the PrintAll dumps list every value, so they work the same as before.

Conversions changed too: an Add for an input the station already converts now updates that conversion

instead of adding a second one the station would never use. An entry also only changes the station it names,

so piece_cookingstation no longer changes piece_cookingstation_iron as well.

Console commands

Each part of the mod has commands to write what is in the game out to a file, and to apply your changes

without restarting. They are described in the section they belong to:

• Recipes: RM_Recipes_PrintAll, RM_Recipes_Reload, RM_Recipes_Unapply
• Pieces: RM_Pieces_PrintAll, RM_Pieces_Reload
• Conversions: RM_Conversion_PrintAll, RM_Conversion_Reload
• Items: RM_Items_PrintAll, RM_Items_Reload, RM_Textures_Dump
• Status effects: RM_StatusEffects_PrintAll, RM_StatusEffects_Reload
• WackysDatabase: RM_Import_WackyDB
• Game patches: RM_Patches

The PrintAll commands write to \BepInEx\config\RecipeManager\. Those files are never loaded, they are

there for you to copy entries out of.

The Reload commands only work where the configuration comes from this machine's own files: a solo game or

the machine hosting. A client connected to a server always uses the server's configuration.

Commands require enabling the in-game console

and running devcommands first. Valheim only treats devcommands as enabled on the instance that

hosts the world, so run them in a solo game or on the machine hosting, not from a client connected

to someone else's server.
