OdinsReach
Nearby chests count as your inventory: craft and refuel from them, quick stack into them, fill, take, place and sort with buttons. Each tweak on its own switchOdin's Reach
The chests around you count as your own. Craft and build from them, quick stack into them with one key, refuel smelters and fires from them, and sort, fill and empty with buttons beside the inventory. Client side, no server install. Every tweak can be switched off on its own.
Part of Odin's Missing Patch, the pack. It works just as well on its own.
⚠️ Alpha. Built heavily with AI, and many ideas come from other mods (see Credits). Co-op testing can lag a release by a week. The source is free to copy under the MIT license; a credit is appreciated.
Features
| Tweak | What it does |
|---|---|
| Nearby crafting | Crafting, upgrading and building also take materials from nearby chests. Your backpack pays first, and a tooltip shows what came from where. |
| Quick stack | Press . to move every stack into a nearby chest that already holds that item. Chests that took something glow. Shift + . tops up food and ammo instead. |
| Favourites | Alt-click an item to keep it out of quick stack and sorting. Alt-click an item in a chest to mark the chest for that kind of item. |
| Chest buttons | Icon buttons for fill your stacks, take all, place all, fill the chest's stacks and sort the chest. |
| Inventory buttons | Stack nearby and sort next to your inventory. Equipped items and favourites stay where you put them. |
| Station refill | Use a fire, smelter or similar with an empty backpack to take fuel from a chest. Shift + Use fills fuel, ore, food or bolts in one go. |
Every chest you placed has a Nearby use button: switch it off and no tweak reaches into that chest from afar. Chests you found in the world and graves are never used.
Configuration
The config file is BepInEx/config/rauschekuh.odinsreach.cfg. You can also change settings in
game with a config manager, and they apply right away.
- Every tweak has an
Enabledswitch and its own section. General→ChestRangesets how far chests count for nearby crafting, quick stack and station refill.General→KeepHotbarkeeps your hotbar out of quick stack, place all and sorting.- Coming from Odin's Missing Patch? On the first start, every setting it had under the same name is carried over.
💡 A tweak that is off at game start doesn't touch the game at all. If it clashes with another mod, switch it off and restart. If a game update breaks a tweak, only that tweak switches off, and the BepInEx log names it.
Multiplayer
Nobody else needs the mod. Taking from or putting into a chest does exactly what you could do by hand: a chest someone else has open is left alone.
Translations
The mod follows Valheim's language setting. AI translations ship for English, German, Russian,
Chinese, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Italian, Japanese and Ukrainian. To add a
language, add a column to translations.csv in the mod's folder, named the way Valheim names the
language (Dutch, Czech, ...), and send it in a pull request.
Install
Use a mod manager (Gale or r2modman), or unzip into BepInEx/plugins/rauschekuh-OdinsReach/.
Requires the BepInEx pack for Valheim.
