LocalCraftFromStoragePrime

I vibe-coded this BepInEx plugin to let you 1) table-craft from nearby storage chests, 2) hammer-build from nearby storage chests, 3) send inventory trash to nearby storage chests, and 4) refuel fire-class and smelter-class buildings from nearby storage chests. It works in singleplayer and multiplayer, and there is no server mod feature. It should act like the vanilla game, except you are reaching out with very long arms; you'll even hear the relevant storage chests open/close in the distance lol.

The noteworthy options you can tweak are 1) storage range max is 64 and I set it 50 by default (table range is 20 for context), 2) you can set ReserveItems to keep 1 of everything in every chest (for easier refilling of the chest in the future), 3) you can rename the "Store Nearby" button (and non-English people can change it to their language), 4) you can change what "Store Nearby" sends or keeps, and 5) refuel has three switches: "Fireplace Fuel" and "Smelter Fuel" are on by default (kiln wood counts as fuel), and you can turn on "Smelter Ore" to also feed ore, barley, flax, etc. from chests into smelters, windmills, spinning wheels, and eitr refineries.

"Store Nearby" sends most world materials. Kept stuff includes your gear, ammo, crafted food, potions, keys, and anything in your top hotbar. You can tweak this feature by adding items to the AlwaysKeep and AlwaysSend variables in the config file. For example, if you use honey and blueberries as a food and you don't want them dumping, add "honey,blueberries" to the AlwaysKeep variable.

GL HF!
