Pin Those Recipes

Pin craft recipes, upgrades, and hammer buildables to a Subnautica-style panel under the minimap. Live have / need material counts update as you gather resources.

Features

Crafting stations

• Middle-click a recipe on the Craft tab to pin/unpin it.
• On the Upgrade tab, middle-click pins the upgrade costs for that quality (e.g. Bronze Axe ★5), not the base craft recipe.
• Pinned craft/upgrade entries are moved to the top of the list and marked with a gold pin star.
• Unpinning from the side panel removes the star from the craft list immediately.

Hammer build menu

• Right-click a buildable piece to pin/unpin it (middle-click still closes the vanilla build menu).
• Build pins use a teal diamond marker so they don’t conflict with the game’s gold star favorites.
• Pinning a buildable does not reorder the grid.

Side panel

• Lives under the minimap with each pin’s icon, name, and per-material have/need counts.
• Counts turn green when you have enough and red while short; refreshed continuously.
• Hover a material row to see its name.
• Click the arrow to expand/collapse materials; collapse state is remembered per pin.
• Right-click a panel entry to open Unpin (shows the item name).
• A +X more row appears when you exceed the configured maximum.
• The panel slides aside while inventory/crafting is open so it isn’t covered by the station UI.
• When the sailing HUD is visible, the panel moves under the wind/rudder dials.
• Hides during the full map, cutscenes, and when the HUD/menus/chat/console are active.

Persistence

• Pins (craft, upgrade, and build) are saved per character.
• Unresolved pins (e.g. from a missing mod) are kept and hidden until they can be resolved again.

Usage

• Craft / upgrade: open a station → middle-click a recipe (use the Upgrade tab when you want upgrade materials).
• Build: open the hammer menu → right-click a piece.
• Watch the panel under your minimap update as you gather materials.
• Expand/collapse rows with the arrow; right-click a panel entry (or pin again) to unpin.

Configuration

Settings live in BepInEx/config/shadymods.pinthoserecipes.cfg:

• General – master enable toggle, pin sound.
• Panel – max pinned recipes, panel scale, X offset, extra offset below the minimap, and inventory-open shift left/down.
• Colors – satisfied / missing / name colors (hex).
• Maintenance – ClearActiveCharacterPins clears all pins for the loaded character (resets itself to false).

Installation (manual)

Requires BepInExPack Valheim.

Copy plugins/PinThoseRecipes.dll into Valheim/BepInEx/plugins.

Compatibility

Uses reflection and defensive patches, preserves vanilla craft-list ordering for unpinned recipes, and never deletes pins it can't resolve yet (e.g. from another mod that isn't loaded). Should coexist with most UI/crafting mods.
