Detect Storage (Valheim Mod)

Detect Storage adds a clean sorting workflow with 2 build pieces in a new Hammer category called Detect:

• Detect Hub
• Detect Chest

The system is multiplayer-safe and server-authoritative:

• client sends requests only
• server validates object + distance
• server performs all item moves/filter writes

What it does

Detect Hub

• Recipe: 20 Wood + 20 Stone
• Container where you drop items to sort
• Default scan range: 20m (Hub.ScanRadiusMeters)
• Sort trigger: open the hub and press G
• Cooldown: Hub.SortButtonCooldownSeconds (default 0.5)

Sort behavior:

1. Reads each stack in the hub
2. Finds Detect Chests in range that match the item filter
3. Moves to the first matching chest with enough space
4. Leaves stack in hub if no matching/free chest is available

Detect Chest

• Recipe: 5 Wood
• Uses vanilla wood chest model
• Inventory size matches largest vanilla chest size
• Single-item filter mode (v0.1)

Filter usage:

1. Open a Detect Chest
2. Press F to enter filter mode
3. Click an item to set filter
4. Press F then click empty slot to clear filter

Persistence:

• ZDO key: detect_filter_item
• Value: item prefab name

If filter is not set, Detect Chest accepts nothing.

Build radius visuals

• The hub radius is shown only while you are in build placement for:
  • Detect Hub
  • Detect Chest
• Radius is hidden after placement.
