CraftFromChestsPlus

Place a Craft Totem (sign) in your base. Inside its radius, all players can craft, build, and smelt using nearby chests. Outside = no chest scans (no explore lag).

Optional: set RequireTotem = false in Mod Settings / config to always use chests within Range (no totem needed).

Requires: Jotunn

How to use

1. Install BepInEx, Jotunn, and this mod (same versions on dedicated server + all clients)
2. Place a totem via Hammer → Misc near a workbench (Wood + Resin + Bronze)
3. Or open Configuration Manager / Mod Settings and set RequireTotem = false for always-on
4. Hold Alt and scroll while looking at a totem to resize its radius

FAQ — “We don’t see the totem at the workbench”

• Totems are built with the Hammer → Misc near a Workbench (not the Production list)
• Dedicated: server + all clients need Jotunn + CraftFromChestsPlus at the same version

Changelog

1.1.6

• Fix: mod stopping after death/respawn (chest + totem lists re-bootstrap on spawn)
• Fix: distant chests ignored in large bases (default MaxNearbyChests raised 32 → 128, configurable)
• Fix: some items (e.g. mandibles) not detected — match shared token, prefab name, and localized name
• Clarify: with a Craft Totem, Alt+scroll sets that totem’s radius (config Range is the default until adjusted)

1.1.5

• Removed Craft Focus item — use Mod Settings RequireTotem instead (true = totem zone, false = always on)
• Changelog cleaned

1.1.0

• Craft Totem zone for craft/build/smelt from chests (requires Jotunn)
