HexAutoStorage

Automatically stores bars, flour, and eitr produced by supported production stations in nearby containers.

⚠️ Important

HexAutoStorage only supports items produced by vanilla production stations. Mods that add custom production stations, such as custom windmills or smelters, are not guaranteed to be supported.

Containers must be within the configured storage radius and must have been placed by the same player who placed the production station.

Auto Storage Priority

When a production station creates an item, HexAutoStorage searches nearby supported containers in the following order:

1. Matching tagged containers, ordered by distance
2. Untagged containers that already contain the produced item, ordered by distance
3. If no valid container has room, the production station uses normal Valheim behavior and drops the item

Containers with tags that do not match the produced item are not used as fallback storage.

Container Tags

Look at a supported container and use the configured Edit Tags Shortcut to open the Auto Storage tag editor.

Multiple tags can be assigned to the same container by separating them with commas.

Example:

Iron,Copper,Coal

Supported tags:

• Copper
• Tin
• Bronze
• Iron
• Silver
• Blackmetal
• Flametal
• Coal
• Flour
• Eitr

The internal prefab names do not need to be entered by the player.

Example

A chest tagged:

Iron,Copper

will be preferred whenever a nearby supported production station produces Iron or Copper.

If that chest is full, HexAutoStorage will try another matching tagged container before falling back to an appropriate untagged container.

Storage Radius

Production stations only search for containers within the configured StorageRadius.

The storage radius can optionally be displayed by enabling:

ShowRadiusVisual = true

When enabled, hover over a supported production station to display its storage radius.

Configuration

Configuration options are available in:

BepInEx/config/com.hex.autostorage.cfg

Current configuration options include:

• Enabled — Enable or disable HexAutoStorage
• StorageRadius — Radius in meters used to search for nearby storage
• ShowRadiusVisual — Display the Auto Storage radius while hovering over a supported production station
• EditTagsShortcut — Keyboard shortcut used to edit container Auto Storage tags

The EditTagsShortcut configuration description also contains the list of supported tag names for reference.

Multiplayer

HexAutoStorage is a client-side mod.

HexAutoStorage uses the creator of the production station when searching for nearby storage.

Only supported containers placed by the same player who placed the production station are considered valid Auto Storage destinations.
