# Free Known Recipes - Valheim Mod

A smart Valheim mod that enables free crafting and building for recipes you've already discovered, while maintaining game progression and balance.

## 🎯 What It Does

- Free Crafting: Craft items at any station without consuming materials (for known recipes only)

- Free Building: Build structures with the hammer without materials (for known pieces only)

- Smart Detection: Only works for recipes and building pieces you've legitimately discovered

- Always Active: No need to toggle - automatically detects when you're using known recipes

- Maintains Progression: You still need to discover recipes naturally through gameplay

## ✨ Key Features

### 🧠 Intelligent Recipe Detection

- Uses reflection to automatically find recipe fields in your Valheim version

- Adapts to game updates without breaking

- Only activates for recipes you've actually unlocked

### 🏗️ Context-Aware Functionality

- Building Mode: Detects when you're placing known building pieces with hammer

- Crafting Mode: Detects when you're crafting known items at stations

- Station Requirements: Still requires proper crafting stations and upgrade levels

### 🎮 Quality of Life

- F7 Toggle: Disable/enable the mod if desired

- Visual Feedback: Shows status when toggling

- Error Safe: Won't crash if Valheim updates change internal structures

## 📋 Requirements

- BepInEx 5.4.2200+ for Valheim

- Valheim (any recent version)

- .NET Framework 4.6.2 or higher

## 🔧 Installation

### Automatic (Recommended)

1. Use Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modman

2. Search for "Free Known Recipes"

3. Click Install

### Manual Installation

1. Install BepInEx for Valheim if not already installed

2. Download the latest `FreeKnownRecipesMod.dll`

3. Copy the DLL to: `Valheim\\BepInEx\\plugins\\`

4. Launch Valheim

## 🎮 Usage

### Default Behavior

- The mod is always active by default

- No setup required - just play normally

- Free crafting automatically applies to known recipes

### Controls

- F7: Toggle the mod on/off (optional)

- Visual confirmation appears when toggling

### How It Works

1. Discover recipes through normal gameplay (finding materials, defeating bosses, etc.)

2. Craft freely - the mod detects when you're using known recipes

3. Build freely - place known building pieces without material costs

4. Station requirements still apply - you need proper workbenches, forges, etc.

## ⚙️ Configuration

Configuration file: `BepInEx\\config\\com.yourname.freeknownrecipes.cfg`

```ini

[General]

ModEnabled = true # Enable/disable the mod

ToggleKey = F7 # Key to toggle mod on/off

```

## 🎯 What's Included/Excluded

### ✅ Works With:

- All crafting stations (Workbench, Forge, Cauldron, etc.)

- Hammer building (walls, floors, furniture, etc.)

- Item upgrades and repairs

- All recipes you've discovered

### ❌ Doesn't Work With:

- Unknown recipes - you must discover them first

- Station requirements - you still need proper crafting stations

- Skill progression - crafting/building still gives XP

## 🛠️ Development

### Building from Source

1. Clone/download the repository

2. Open in Visual Studio 2017+

3. Set target framework to .NET Framework 4.6.2

4. Add references:
