RuneStorageNetwork
AE2-style storage network for Valheim. Build Rune Chests, place a Rune Terminal and access, search, sort and store everything from one native-looking window. Multiplayer safe.Rune Storage Network
One terminal, all your chests. Rune Storage Network brings an Applied Energistics-style storage system to Valheim. Build Rune Chests around your base, place a Rune Terminal, and browse, search, sort and store everything in your network from a single window that looks and feels like part of the game.
Features
- Rune Terminal – a glowing runic table that opens the network window right below your inventory.
- Rune Chest – a 32-slot chest that joins the network automatically.
- Native look – the terminal is built from Valheim's own UI elements, no Unity-style windows.
- Search & sort – live search, sort by Type, Amount or Name.
- Sort network – one click merges stacks and reorganises all Rune Chests as if they were one big storage.
- Pinned favourites – middle-click an item to keep it at the top of the list.
- Choose an amount – Ctrl + right-click opens a quantity popup (-10 / -1 / +1 / +10 / Max).
- Fast storing – right-click or Ctrl + click items in your inventory, drop them onto the terminal, or press Store all.
- Crafting overview – see which known recipes you can make with what is stored in the network plus your inventory.
- Auto-sort – optionally gathers identical items in the same chest and keeps each chest tidy.
- Multiplayer safe – chests that someone else is using are locked, changes are only made by the owner, and settings are synced from the server.
How to use
- Build one or more Rune Chests (Hammer → Misc).
- Build a Rune Terminal (Hammer → Misc) within range of the chests (default 20 m).
- Press E on the terminal.
