About this mod Author’s original text
SmelterUnlimited
Raises the fuel and ore capacity of the smelter, charcoal kiln and blast furnace, lets you insert 10 at a time with Shift+E, and pulls fuel/ore from nearby chests.
What it does
- Bigger capacity. Vanilla holds 20 coal / 10 ore in the smelter and 25 wood in the kiln. This mod raises both to 1000 (configurable).
- Batch insert. Press E to add 1, as usual. Hold Shift and press E to add 10 at once (configurable). The hover text shows the hint.
- Pull from chests. If you don't carry enough fuel or ore, the missing amount is taken from chests within 10 m. Chests someone else has open, chests you can't access (private or inside someone else's ward) and tombstones are skipped. Only the amount you asked for is taken; there is no "fill everything" button.
- Stacked drops. When a loaded station is destroyed, its contents drop as stacks instead of hundreds of single items.
Applies to smelter, charcoal_kiln and blastfurnace by default. You can add other smelter-type stations (e.g. eitrrefinery, windmill, piece_spinningwheel) in the config.
Configuration
The config file is BepInEx/config/com.honeymanmods.smelterunlimited.cfg. It is created the first time you launch the game with the mod installed. You can edit it Mod Manager / r2modman (Config editor), or in-game with ConfigurationManager (F1). Changes apply immediately.
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BatchModifierKey | LeftShift | Hold this key while pressing E to add a batch. |
| BatchSize | 10 | How many items one Shift+E adds (range 1-100). |
| ContainerBlacklist | FineWood,RoundLog | Item prefab names never taken from chests (protects Fine wood / Core wood from the kiln). |
| ContainerRange | 10 | Radius in meters to look for chests (range 1-50). |

Install
Recommended: install Mod Manager or r2modman.
Manual: drop SmelterUnlimited.dll into /BepInEx/plugins.
Server / multiplayer
Install on every client (and the server, for consistency). The capacity check and chest pulling run on the player who presses E, so a player without the mod keeps the vanilla limits.
Compatibility
Other mods that also use Shift+E on smelters (for example AzuCraftyBoxes' FillAllModKey) will fire at the same time. Disable that feature or change one of the two keys.

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:
