About this mod

Want to quickly drop your loot? Tired of looking for chest with a specific item-stack in order to store some more of it?
Teach your containers to arrange items with their neighbors!

Features

  • Teaches your containers to automatically send items you put in them to other containers if they are already containing this item-stack.
  • Puts same-kinded items to their siblings: copper-ore goes to chest containing tin-ore and so on.
  • You can create such item-groups from any items combination - just put your carrots, stones and feathers in one box, click the button and from now on your carrots will go to chest with feathers.
  • Configure mod to load-out all specific loot-items from your inventory to a proper chests via a single button click.

How it works:

When you put an item stack to a container via [Ctrl + Click]:

  • If container is full or doesn't contain same items:
    • check each nearby container and if it is not full and has same item (stack) - your item is routed there.
  • otherwise (if none found):
    • check each nearby container and if it is not full and has "relevant" group items - your items are routed there.

In other words: If group contains your item and chest contains any other item from a group, then your item will go to this chest.


General Configuration parameters

Expand
  • range - defines area to locate "nearby" containers
  • onlyStackableItems - (enabled by default) when enabled - non stackable items (tools, weapons, armor) are NOT rearranged
  • hudMessageEnabled - (enabled by default) Enables hud message indicating that item was placed to some other chest.
  • hudMessageText - HUD message consists of Icon, item-name plus this hudMessageText
  • audioFeedbackEnabled - play ingame-sound if items are successfully distributed
  • effectFeedbackEnabled - display a temporary visual effect over chests where your items were distributed

Grouping items

There are three available options to define an item-group:

  • by explicitly listing all item-names of group-members
  • by matching item-name prefixes: trophyboar and trophytroll are members of group with 'trophy' prefix
  • by matching item-name postfixes: carrotSeeds and turnipSeeds are members of group with 'seeds' postfix
  • by matching in-game item-type: Tool, Weapon, Ammo, Armor, Trophie

Grouping Configuration parameters

Expand
  • enabled - (true by default) enables item groups logic
  • itemTypeGroupsEnabled - enables grouping by item-types (Trophie, Tool, Ammo, Armor, Weapon).
  • groupingKeyModifier - LeftControl. Change to "LeftControl + LeftShift" if you want separate hotkey for triggering grouping logic. (holding ctrl is mandatory since it's a "move-stack" ingame key)
  • createGroupBtnEnabled - (true by default) adds a UI button which helps to create custom item-groups
  • createGroupBtnPos - adjusts button position
  • fuzzyGroupingEnabled - (false by default) enable grouping by more broad criteria.

Preconfigured item groups

Expand
  • [ItemGroup] config section contains a set of item-names based groups:
    • valuables = ruby,coins,amber,amberpearl
    • ore = copperore,flametalore,ironore,silverore,tinore,ironscrap,blackmetalscrap
    • rock = stone,flint,obsidian
    • ingots = copper,bronze,flametal,iron,silver,tin,blackmetal
    • wood = wood,finewood,corewood,ancientbark
    • mushrooms = Mushroom,MushroomBlue,MushroomYellow
    • berries = Blueberries,Cloudberry,Raspberry,Honey
    • vegetables = Carrot,Turnip
    • cookedMeat = CookedLoxMeat,NeckTailGrilled,MeatCooked,FishCooked,SerpentMeatCooked
    • food = CarrotSoup,Sausages,QueensJam,SerpentStew,TurnipStew,BloodPudding

Preconfigured groups matching item-names by postfixes or prefixes:

  • [PostfixedItemGroups] posfixes = cone,seeds,pelt,hide # i.e. CarrotSeeds will go to TurnipSeeds
  • [PrefixedItemGroups] prefixes = trophy,mead,arrow,armor,cape,helmet,atgeir,bow,battleaxe,knife,mace,shield,sledge,spear,sword,tankard # i.e. ArrowFire will go to ArrowFlint

How it works:

  • When you put an item stack to container via [Ctrl + Click]
    • if simple container lookup by same-item-name described above has no results then:
    • check each nearby container and if both container and your item are
      • members of same item-names based group (either preconfigured or user-created group form [ItemGroup] config section) - or members of same item-names-prefix based group - or members of same item-names-postfix based group - then item is routed there.
    • if none matched - check each nearby container and if container has any item with item-type same as your items type then item is routed there (could be disabled with itemTypeGroupsEnabled config option)
    • if none of the above matched and fuzzyGroupingEnabled option enabled - additional item-types based groups are checked: IsMaterial, IsConsumable, IsCustomization, IsMisc

Adding custom item groups

Put desired items set to a chest, click the [☼] button (at the bottom-left corner of chest panel). New group will contain all unique item-names from this chest.


Merging or extending item groups

When you click the [☼] button mod will check if items in current chest are already members of some item-names based group. In such case - a prompt dialog will appear with options:

  • to continue with creating new group anyway
  • to merge all detected groups into a single (largest group will be used as a "base" group)

Unloading items.

  • Configure item-groups & names which should be allowed for 'unloading'.
  • Open any chest and click the [⇓⇓] button.

'Unloading' Configuration parameters

Expand
  • enabled - (true by default) enables unloading logic & UI button
  • btnPos - adjust button position
  • groupsList - List of items group-ids from [ItemGroup] config - section allowed to be "unloaded"
  • itemsList - List of item-names allowed to be "unloaded"
  • itemsSkipList - High-priority list of item-names to exclude from being "unloaded"
  • alwaysGrouping - (true by default) - grouping logic is always on for uloading. Otherwise - pressing of groupingKeyModifier required.
  • addToItemsFilterKeyModifier - If pressed - overrides createGroupBtn behaviour by passing item-names to unload "itemsList" instead of creating new items group
  • addToSkipItemsFilterKeyModifier - If pressed - overrides createGroupBtn behaviour by passing item-names to unload "itemsSkipList" instead of creating new items group
  • materialsFiltering - always allow "materials" item type to be "unloaded"
  • trophiesFiltering - always allow trophies to be "unloaded"
  • consumableFiltering - (disabled by default) always allow any consubable item to be "unloaded"

How it works:

Checks each non-equipped item in your inventory and:

  1. if item is NOT in itemsSkipList config option
  • if item matches any group from groupsList config option
  • or item-name is listed in itemsList config option
  • or item-type is Materials and materialsFiltering config option enabled
  • or item-type is Trophy and trophiesFiltering config option enabled
  • or item-type is Consumable and consumableFiltering config option enabled
  1. try to move item to nearby 'relevant' chest

Configuring from game UI

  • Shift + click [☼] button: allow all items in currently opened chest to be unloaded by adding their names to itemsList config option.
  • Ctrl + click [☼] button: disable all items in currently opened chest to be unloaded by adding their names to itemsSkipList config option.

Disabling preconfigured groups

You can disable any preconfigured group

  • in config file: by deleting part after '=' symbol. Example: "vegetables ="
  • from ConfigurationManager UI: by setting value to empty string

ⓘ You can manually verify, merge or add new groups to [ItemGroup] config section. Example: "fishes = FishRaw,FishCooked". (requires game-restart) Item-names could be discovered:

  • by googling some "valheim Spawn items list".
  • by pressing "Ctrl + L + click" (instead of Ctrl + click) while moving item to chest: item-name will be printed to console (F5).

Controller support

Expand
  • set [Grouping] groupingKeyModifier to JoystickButton0 value: RTrigger+A will always use grouping. Alternatively - set it to JoystickButton6 (map button)
  • RightStick click : trigger Create group ([☼]) while at containers-panel .
  • RightStick click + RTrigger : same as addToItemsFilterKey.
  • RightStick click + LTrigger : same as addToSkipItemsFilterKey.
  • menuButton (☰) : triggers Unload-all-items button ([⇓⇓]) while at containers-panel.
  • merge-or-create dialog: LeftBumper= Merge, RightBumper=Create
  • I've tried to mimic games tooltips but they overlap with buttons a bit now. Set [Unload] btnPos = {"x":1.5,"y":7.9}
  • from 1.6.0 version merge-prompt dialog is not fully supported :!

Configuring mod:

  • Recommended: enable in-game console (opened by F5) by adding -console launch option.
  • Recommended: install latest [BepInEx.ConfigurationManager]
  • Start the game. Adjust config via ConfigurationManager while playing game (press F1 while in menu or at inventory UI)
  • From a config file at Valheim\BepInEx\config\flueno.SmartContainers.cfg. Requires game restart.

Installation (manual):

1 - Extract DLL from zip file into "<GameDirectory>\Bepinex\plugins"
2 - Start the game.
