SmartCraftStorage
Automates chest storage in Valheim: quick-stack, restock, craft/build from nearby chests, auto-fuel and collect at fireplaces/smelters/kilns/cooking stations/beehives, auto-feed tameable animals, and repair everything at once.SmartCraft-Storage
A personal Valheim 1.0 mod that combines storage and station automation into one cohesive package: mass-stashing items into nearby chests, crafting/building with materials pulled straight from chests without opening them, keeping fireplaces, smelters, charcoal kilns and cooking stations fueled and self-collecting, automatically feeding tameable animals from a nearby chest, and repairing all your gear at once.
Install this on your client, not the server. Every feature runs client-side and is gated on there being a local player — a dedicated server never has one, so installing it there alone won't enable anything. Each player who wants the automation installs it on their own client; the server doesn't need it at all.
- Quick-stack: Press
Shift + Eto stash matching items into nearby chests. - Lock and restock:
Alt + left-clicklocks an item so quick-stack never moves it.Alt + Ctrl + left-clickmarks it for restock instead. - Restock: Press
Ctrl + Eto refill every marked item to a full stack from nearby chests, even from zero. - Crafting and building: Use materials from nearby chests within a configurable radius (default 20m) — no need to open them.
- Repair-all: The station's Repair button fixes every repairable equipped item in one click instead of one at a time.
- Fuel and ingredients: Fireplaces, smelters, charcoal kilns, and cooking stations pull fuel/ingredients from nearby chests and store their output automatically — each behavior toggleable on its own.
- Beehives: Honey is harvested automatically as soon as it's ready and stored in the nearest chest, no need to visit the hive.
- Animal feeding: Automatically feeds hungry tameable animals from nearby chests, taming or already-tamed.
Hotkeys
Defaults below — every hotkey is fully configurable in the Configuration Manager, all as full key combos you set by clicking the value and pressing whatever combo you want. The lock and restock-mark combos are independent of each other. They work with a free cursor (no need to have a chest open).
| Hotkey (default) | Action |
|---|---|
Shift + E |
Quick-stack: stashes items from your inventory into nearby chests that already contain that item. Locked (🔒) and equipped items are never moved. |
Ctrl + E |
Restock: pulls from nearby chest(s) enough of each item marked for restock to fill a full stack in your inventory — even if you currently have none of that item. |
Alt + left-click on an inventory item |
Toggles the lock (🔒) on that item — a locked item is never moved by quick-stack. |
Alt + Ctrl + left-click on an inventory item |
Toggles the restock mark (🔵) on that item — defines the list the restock hotkey uses. |
Both modifier-clicks replace the normal click (they don't open/move the item) only while the modifier is held.
Messages shown by quick-stack and restock are localized (English, Portuguese-Brazilian, Spanish so far) based on your in-game language.
