Changelog

1.0.12 - 2026-09-20

• Fixed fermenters consuming a mead base while displaying Empty on current Valheim: automation now reads and writes the native numeric prefab ID, including collection and rollback. Legacy string-format game APIs remain supported.
• Empty fermenters no longer stall on a leftover fermentation timestamp after manual tapping.
• Unknown items and stranded old-format batches stop further input consumption rather than overwriting their state. Existing affected fermenters may require batch recovery; this update does not automatically recover them.
• Retained ItemDrawers support, station effects, beehive outputs, and cooking experience from 1.0.11.

1.0.11 - 2026-09-19

• Author confirmed in-game testing on September 19, 2026; prepared for Thunderstore release.
• Added independent Modded Containers.AllowedPrefabIds configuration, defaulting to piece_drawer for Makail ItemDrawers. Applies to linked roles and nearby ingredient sources.
• Synchronize ItemDrawers through its own save format. Preserve oversized stacks and assigned empty drawers through planning, consumption, output publication and rollback; honor drawer capacity and normal chest stack limits.
• Refuse mismatched item types and metadata that ItemDrawers cannot save. Attributed direct-recipe outputs still require a normal destination chest.
• Match timed cooking/fermenter output-capacity preflight to their actual unattributed output metadata.
• Added managed regressions for configuration/ownership, reserves, large counts, capacity, empty assignments, staging and failed-publication rollback. Retains 1.0.10 beehives, cooking XP and station sounds. Author-confirmed in-game acceptance is recorded above.

1.0.10 - 2026-09-19

• Added Output chest links for beehives, preserving native honey production and world drop scaling. Full or unavailable storage leaves honey in the hive.
• Automated cooking now awards native loading and collection Cooking XP to the online player who configured the corresponding link, including server-owned stations.
• XP is awarded only after committed transfers; retries and blocked storage do not award XP.

1.0.9 - 2026-09-16

• Restored cooking-station and oven loading, refueling, and collection effects for automated transfers.
• Restored fermenter filling, tapping, and batch-output effects, and crafting-station effects for automated recipes.
• Preserved the existing native refueling effects for fires, torches, and lamps, and native cooking-done, overcooking, and ambient effects without duplicating them.
• New effects run only after confirmed commits, at the station or its slot/output point. Cosmetic failures cannot roll back or repeat item transfers. Instant automated fermenter/crafting transactions play their effects at commit without changing production timing.

1.0.8 - 2026-09-16

• Restored native kiln and smelter loading, fueling, and production effects for automated transfers, including output routed directly into linked chests and onward through production chains.
• Effects play only after confirmed transfers. Blocked or rolled-back transfers stay silent; normal world-drop output keeps its vanilla effects.
• Effect failures cannot roll back or replay completed item transfers.

1.0.7 - 2026-09-14

• Fixed production stopping after the player who configured it leaves and station/chest ownership splits between peers.
• Added coordinated chest handoff for linked ingredients, fuel, outputs, replenishment, and eligible nearby recipe inputs.
• Removed the original player's presence requirement from pending and legacy replenishment activation.
• Preserved ward and personal-chest access checks, shared-chest serialization, and the link-click fixes from 1.0.6.

1.0.6 - 2026-09-14

• Fixed a repeated mouse-press signal across frames cancelling a newly selected production link.
• Kept each accepted linking click captured until its button is released and the press signal clears, including fast clicks.
• Preserved normal station-to-chest linking, Shift+Alt unlinking, and deliberate cancellation with a separate click.

1.0.5 - 2026-09-11

• Fixed production's native item-status checks after Valheim 1.0.12 changed the underlying game API. Supports both the 1.0.7 field and the 1.0.12 property without changing the game's item-status rules.

1.0.4 - 2026-09-10

• Fixed production link setup rejecting players who have chest and ward access but do not already own the station and chest's network state.

1.0.3 - PreProduction

• Read container contents from Valheim 1.0's byte-array storage rather than the retired string field.
• Accept the exact native one-load durability conversion while rejecting unrelated inventory differences.
• Check the replicated integer busy flag before and after synchronization.
• Cross-peer station/chest ownership remains a limitation; this update does not add remote transfers.

1.0.2 - 2026-09-09

• Updated cheated-state provenance, queue, slot, item insertion, and inventory notification integration for Valheim 1.0.
• Re-audited the installed Valheim 1.0.7 client and dedicated-server assemblies and updated the BepInEx dependency to 5.4.2350.

1.0.1 - 2026-09-04

• Fixed one Alt+mouse press being observed by both Player.SetControls and Player.Update, which could immediately cancel a newly armed production link before the player could select a chest.
• Kept an accepted link gesture captured until its physical mouse button is released, preserving action suppression and the intended two-step station-to-chest workflow.
• Rewrote the package introduction and description around player-facing production automation, connected workflows, and existing Valheim machines while retaining the technical safety details.

1.0.0 - 2026-08-29

• Made the plugin independently installable with BepInEx as its only runtime dependency while keeping version 1.0.0 and the established package identity.
• Removed the shared registry, capability negotiation, permissions service, transaction composites, remote-owner handoff, custom Production RPC transport, persistent operation records, recovery, claims, global inventory guards, and account/global quarantine paths.
• Rebuilt smelter, cooking, recipe-station, and fermenter automation around Valheim's exact loaded native owner. No path claims or transfers ZDO ownership.
• Kept persistent explicit links, stable endpoint tokens, bounded multi-destination catalogs, physical exemplar plans, target signatures, and fairness cursors in their existing world-data formats.
• Kept valid singleton-link migration. Tokenless singleton links upgrade only from one exact loaded local-owner chest, while tokenless catalog destinations require an explicit refresh.
• Added bounded, expiring local link selections with fresh range, chest, ward, access, identity, creator, ownership, and synchronization checks at commit and use.
• Preserved throughput Input, Fuel, and Output links, complete-batch smelter fallback, exact reserves, direct recipe replenishment, cooking/fermenting replenishment, and optional bounded nearby ingredient sourcing.
• Added exact persisted-state compensation for multi-object mutations without leaving restart-time work or locking unrelated inventory. A proven rollback retains vanilla smelter fallback; an indeterminate publication suppresses duplicate fallback and pauses only that station until reload.
• Replaced obsolete transport and crash-recovery coverage with focused standalone, native-owner, persistence-format, boundedness, rollback, and vanilla-fallback tests.
• Added exact native Fireplace fuel service, so explicitly linked fires draw Wood and lamps draw Resin from player-facing Input chests with the existing reserve and rollback rules.
• Added station-specific hover guidance for Input, throughput Output, and exemplar-backed Replenishment setup; enabled bounded nearby recipe ingredients by default.
• Verified exemplar-driven food and mead-base recipes plus fermenter input and matching multi-chest mead output in the focused workflow regressions.
• Added exact station-level Alt mouse links: Left selects Input, Right selects Output, and Middle selects Replenishment. Repeating the same gesture on a chest within 30 seconds commits it; Shift+Alt at both steps removes that exact role link.
• Reserved accepted mouse gestures through release so combat and build actions cannot leak through, and added vivid green Input, yellow Output, and turquoise multi-Replenishment chest rings on successful links and while their station is pointed.
• Made role selection independent of a station's physical sub-control: aiming anywhere on the station uses the mouse button alone to select Input, Output, or Replenishment.
• Added multiple persistent chests per role, station hover counts for all three roles, one unified per-role link limit, reserve-driven dynamic exemplar refresh, and server-side reconciliation.
• Added exact composite nearby recipe sourcing across accessible shared chests, protected linked destinations, in-flight reserve admission, completed-output routing, and rollback readback guards.
• Made empty Replenishment links crash-safe by publishing their signed principal plan while inert before the authoritative role link. Orphan plan bodies remain inert, and no link success is shown unless both publications complete.
• Fixed linked-chest rendering by placing each LineRenderer on its own child GameObject. An invalid root or ring now tears that marker down once, preventing repeated UpdateVisuals exceptions without affecting Production links or transfers; a later lease may create a fresh marker.
• Separated Fuel Input from ingredient Input when the player aims Alt+Left Mouse at a native fuel control, with distinct selection, link, removal, and hover text while retaining legacy Input-fuel compatibility until an explicit Fuel Input link is made.
• Enabled Output links for allowed cauldron, mead-kettle, and preparation-table recipe stations.
• Expanded ordinary cooking-station and oven ingredient sourcing from an explicit Input link to the same bounded eligible nearby-chest pool used by recipe automation, and exposed exact validation failures through the station status and verbose log instead of silently doing nothing.
• Allowed one physical chest to carry independent roles, including serving as one station's Output and another station's Input for true chained production lines such as mead ketill to fermenter.
• Kept finite native oven fuel states above the display capacity operational; automation stops adding fuel at capacity without disabling food input, cooking, or cooked-output routing.
