CookFromStorage
Adds accepted cooking ingredients from nearby storage to cooking stations.CookFromStorage
Cook meals and brew mead straight from nearby chests. Leave the ingredients in storage, not in your pockets.
Supported stations
- Cooking Station - add raw meat from storage.
- Iron Cooking Station - load its accepted cooking ingredients from storage.
- Stone Oven - bake using stored ingredients.
- Cauldron - see available ingredients and craft food using storage.
- Food Preparation Table - prepare recipes using stored ingredients.
- Mead Ketill - craft mead bases using storage.
- Fermenter - load a stored mead base into an empty, sheltered Fermenter.
From preparing ingredients to cooking dinner and brewing your next batch, CookFromStorage handles the whole food-and-mead workflow.
By Hoose.
How it works
- Keep ingredients in accessible storage within 20 meters of your player (configurable from 1 to 100 meters).
- Use stations normally. Recipe ingredient counts include nearby storage; press E to add one accepted ingredient to a rack, oven or empty Fermenter.
- Your inventory is used first. Ingredients can stay in storage until needed.
- Collect cooked food and finished mead normally. Collection does not also load another ingredient.
- Normal recipes, station requirements, fire, shelter, capacity and storage permissions still apply. Busy or inaccessible storage is skipped.
- Compatible modded cooking stations and Fermenter conversions use their current accepted inputs.
- Nothing is filled automatically when the world loads or while stations run.
This mod supplies ingredients, not fuel. Frost Foundry casts stay manual; CookFromStorage does not load them from storage.
Installation
Install with r2modman or the Thunderstore Mod Manager. Requires BepInExPack_Valheim, which the mod manager installs for you.
For manual installation, place CookFromStorage.dll and the included ValheimMods.Common.dll together in BepInEx/plugins/CookFromStorage/. Keep only one installed copy of each DLL.
Install on each player's client; no server plugin is required.
Configuration
Settings are in BepInEx/config/hoose.valheim.cookfromstorage.cfg; each setting's description lists what it controls.
Automation/Automatic ingredients- use storage ingredients for food recipes, cooking stations and Fermenters. Enabled by default.Storage/Storage radius- how far your storage is searched, from 1 to 100 meters. Default 20.
Stack with other mods
Works well with SupplyFromStorage (keeps your cooking fires, oven and machines fueled from storage), CraftFromStorage (non-food recipes and equipment upgrades) and AutoRepair (repairs your gear when you use a station). CookFromStorage and CraftFromStorage share one recipe engine, so ingredients are never counted or consumed twice. Every storage mod uses the same 20 m default radius, and each can be set separately.
