Auto Feeder

Place a container near your animal pen, and your tamed animals will walk over and eat from it when they're hungry. No more hand-feeding.

A maintained fork of aedenthorn's Auto Feed, updated to work with Valheim 1.0.20. All credit for the original mod goes to aedenthorn.

What's fixed in this version

• Fixed the error spam (MissingMethodException) caused by Valheim 1.0 changes
• Fixed animals failing to eat from containers
• Fixed the toggle key message
• Fixed comma-separated config settings not working when they contain spaces (e.g. piece_chest, Container)

Configuration

A config file is created at BepInEx/config/vanbushi.AutoFeed.cfg the first time you run the game with this mod. Edit it with a text editor (with the game closed), in your mod manager's config editor, or in-game with a Configuration Manager mod.

Settings include:

• Container range
• Item types animals are not allowed to eat
• Animal types that are not allowed to auto-feed
• Whether animals must walk to the container to eat
• Whether containers must hold only animal food
• How close animals must get to the container
• Optional toggle key
• Debug logging

To reload the config while in-game, open the console (F5) and type autofeed reset.

Upgrading from the original mod

This version uses a new plugin ID, so your old aedenthorn.AutoFeed.cfg will no longer be used. Delete it and set up the new vanbushi.AutoFeed.cfg. If animals still don't eat, try rebuilding the containers near your pens.

Installation

Install with a mod manager (r2modman, Thunderstore Mod Manager or Gale), or manually:

1. Install BepInExPack Valheim.
2. Put AutoFeed.dll in your BepInEx/plugins folder.

Multiplayer: install it on the server and every player. Animals are simulated by the nearest player, so everyone should use the same version and config.

Notes

Tested and working on a dedicated server with Valheim 1.0.20. This is a community fix, not an official update.
