About this mod Author’s original text

Rune Storage Network

One terminal, all your chests. Rune Storage Network brings an Applied Energistics-style storage system to Valheim. Build Rune Chests around your base, place a Rune Terminal, and browse, search, sort and store everything in your network from a single window that looks and feels like part of the game.

Features

  • Rune Terminal – a glowing runic table that opens the network window right below your inventory.
  • Rune Chest – a 32-slot chest that joins the network automatically.
  • Native look – the terminal is built from Valheim's own UI elements, no Unity-style windows.
  • Search & sort – live search, sort by Type, Amount or Name.
  • Sort network – one click merges stacks and reorganises all Rune Chests as if they were one big storage.
  • Pinned favourites – middle-click an item to keep it at the top of the list.
  • Choose an amount – Ctrl + right-click opens a quantity popup (-10 / -1 / +1 / +10 / Max).
  • Fast storing – right-click or Ctrl + click items in your inventory, drop them onto the terminal, or press Store all.
  • Crafting overview – see which known recipes you can make with what is stored in the network plus your inventory.
  • Auto-sort – optionally gathers identical items in the same chest and keeps each chest tidy.
  • Multiplayer safe – chests that someone else is using are locked, changes are only made by the owner, and settings are synced from the server.

How to use

  • Build one or more Rune Chests (Hammer → Misc).
  • Build a Rune Terminal (Hammer → Misc) within range of the chests (default 20 m).
  • Press E on the terminal.

Installation

Mod manager (recommended): install with r2modman or Mod Manager – dependencies are installed automatically.

Manual: install BepInExPack Valheim and Jotunn, then copy RuneStorageNetwork.dll into BepInEx/plugins.

Multiplayer: every player and the server need the mod (version check via Jotunn).

Compatibility

  • Works with Equipment & Quick Slots (

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.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
