VSS ValheimStorageSystem

VSS — Valheim Storage System

A shared storage grid inspired by the Refined Storage mod for Minecraft.

Build a book-and-quill pedestal, press E, and search all your nearby chests from one screen. Your items stay in the actual chests.

Features

• Cheap to build: Storage Inventory costs just 5 wood, with no workbench required.
• Nearby storage: combines accessible chests within 20 metres; the host can configure 1–100 metres.
• Search and sort: search item names, sort by name, quantity or category, and filter resources.
• Drag and drop: transfer items between the storage grid and your actual player inventory.
• Stack-first deposits: fills compatible partial stacks before taking new chest slots.
• Capacity at a glance: used/total slots, percentage occupied, free slots, chest count and radius.
• Chest preferences: choose the preferred resource category with the small icon beside a linked chest's normal inventory.
• Native inventory behavior: equipped-item highlights, hotbar numbers, right-click equip/unequip/use, and native notifications above the storage window.
• Co-op support: synchronized chest access, permissions and host-controlled radius. Successful live multiplayer testing reported by the author.

Wooden, reinforced and black metal chests, barrels, and accessible personal chests are supported. Chest privacy and ward permissions apply. Carts, ships, graves and temporary loot containers are excluded.

Getting started

• Install VSS through a -compatible mod manager. The required BepInExPack Valheim dependency installs automatically.
• Install the same VSS version on every player and the host/dedicated server.
• Restart Valheim, equip your hammer and build Storage Inventory under Furniture or Storage. You need to have discovered wood normally.
• Place the pedestal near your chests and press E to open the storage grid.

The pedestal refunds its 5 wood when removed. The window closes when you leave interaction range, die, teleport, or press Escape/Tab.

For a manual installation, install BepInExPack Valheim and copy the package's plugins/VSS folder into BepInEx/plugins. Keep VSS.dll, vss_assets and the complete ui folder together. Avoid duplicate installations of the old mod.

Controls

| Action | Control |

| --- | --- |

| Store items | Drag from your inventory onto the upper grid |

| Take items | Drag from storage onto an inventory slot or its empty background |

| Move a whole stack quickly | Shift-click |

| Move one item quickly | Ctrl-click |

| Drag half a stack | Hold Shift when starting the drag |

| Drag one item | Hold Ctrl when starting the drag |

| Equip, unequip or consume | Right-click an inventory item |

| Cancel a drag | Right-click or release outside a destination |

| Search | Type an item name or prefab name |

| Sort | Cycle Name, Quantity or Category; use the arrow for direction |

| Filter | Cycle the category button |

Withdrawals take at most one item's normal maximum stack size. A full player inventory accepts only the amount that fits. Unequip equipment before transferring it.

The capacity indicator counts occupied item-stack slots, not individual items. For example, 120/120 (100%) used • 0 free • FULL. A chest with every slot occupied can still accept items into compatible partial stacks.

Preferred resources

Open a chest normally while it is within range of a pedestal. Click the small icon beside its inventory and choose Any, Wood, Raw food, Food, Mead, Weapons, Armor, Ammo, Materials, Trophies, Tools or Misc.

Preferences are stored on the chest and shared with other players. Deposits fill matching partial stacks first, then prefer category-matched chests, unassigned chests, and finally other categories. Preferences guide new deposits; they do not relocate existing contents or block other items.

Item quality, variants, durability, crafter information and custom item data are preserved.

Configuration

Edit BepInEx/config/georo.vss.cfg, then restart the game:
