RecipeManager

This is a lightweight recipe modification tool. You can define recipes to Add, Modify, Delete etc. It does not use any patches, and does not run constantly.

If you want to do more than modify recipes and pieces check out WackysDB

In Valheim a recipe is something that is crafting at a crafting station, or cooking station etc. For example, to make wood arrows you use a crafting recipe from the workbench. Building pieces (built with the hammer) are not recipes, furnace conversions (1 ore for 1 ingot etc) are not recipes.

Pieces are almost anything that is placed. Everything built with the hammer, plants placed with the cultivator, placable food etc.

Features

• Add recipes
• Modify recipes
• Delete recipes
• Disable Pieces
• Enable Pieces
• Modify Pieces

Recipes can be manipulated and added through yaml. All of the existing recipes can also be dumped to a file, in the same format to help you find and understand existing recipes.

Its recommended to use a syntax highlighting yaml editor when modifying recipes to help ensure that your yaml is valid. yamlChecker is a free online linter you can use to validate also.

Recipe modifications are stored at \BepInEx\config\RecipeManager\Recipes.yaml. This file will be generated on the first run if it does not already exist.

Commands

This mod adds two new commands which can be used to speed up recipe modification.

RM_Recipes_Reload - This reloads all recipe modifications that are found.

RM_Recipes_PrintAll - This prints all recipes currently stored in the object DB (including modifications), this file is ignored.

RM_Pieces_Reload - This reloads all piece modifications that are found.

RM_Pieces_PrintAll - This prints all pieces to a debug file (including modifications), this file is ignored.

Commands require enabling the in-game console.

If you are using Thunderstore Mod Manager or R2 Modmanager, you can enabled the console by selecting your valheim profile, going to settings (on the far left), debugging tab, set launch parameters and add --console

It is not recommended to use Vortex mod manager, however using vortex hardlink or copy deployments you can launch from steam using BepinEx with a --console launch parameter. To do so right click on the game in your library, manage, general, at the bottom add --console to the launch options.

Multiple Config files

All files which contain Recipes.yaml in \BepInEx\config\RecipeManager\ will be considered recipe files (except ObjectDBRecipes.yaml). For example this means that:

• Forge_Recipes.yaml is valid
• SoupStationStuff.yaml is not valid and will not be loaded but SoupStationStuffRecipes.yaml is.

All files which contain Pieces.yaml in \BepInEx\config\RecipeManager\ will be considered piece modifications and loaded. For example this means that:

• CultivatorPieces.yaml is valid
• Cultivator.yaml is not valid and will not be loaded

Recipe Examples

The mod ships with a default example recipe file which will provide you similar explanations to what is listed above. You can find the recipe file after starting up your game with the mod installed in you BepInEx\config\RecipeManager folder.

R2modman or Thunderstore mod manager will also detect this file as an editable config file and it can be edited or opened directly from the "Edit Config" menu, search for Recipes.yaml.

The only file that is will be used to load recipes is Recipes.yaml other yaml files in that directory will not be loaded.

FAQ

• Q: Why is my recipe not showing up? A. Ensure that the recipe uses the action 'Modify' or 'Add', by default recipes dumped from the object DB will not, they will use Enable. Which if the recipe already exists and is not disabled, does nothing.
• Q: My yaml has an error about the refund key A. The refund key was removed in 0.4.1. If you need to remove the key from an existing yaml you can use the following regex ( +refund: \w+\n?) and replace with nothing. This can be done from most text editors find and replace.

Planned Features

• More recipe validation
• Conversion modifications (like ores for ingots)
• Export to WackyDB

Installation (manual)

Ensure the downloaded .dll is placed inside your /bepinex/plugins folder.

Please note this mod does nothing until configured.
