Moder Warehouse 2.0.3 — Performance Update

Moder Warehouse is a free, unofficial, server-only warehouse automation mod for Valheim. Players connect with unchanged vanilla clients. The server sorts an input chest, fulfils withdrawal requests, tracks target stock and displays totals on an interactive rotating 4×4 board.

Author: Cris Haani License: MIT Release: 2.0.3. Future updates are expected to focus on bug fixes, performance and compatibility.

One possible expansion stage. The pictured chests are examples: Moder Warehouse works with every suitable vanilla storage container, not only the chest type shown here.

A personal note from the author

Dear players and server administrators,

I would like to give you a small glimpse into my world. We are a close-knit Valheim group that has been playing together since the early days, and – like some of you – we run a public server of our own.

Whenever we returned from another long expedition, it took quite a while to sort and empty our inventories. Or we simply dropped everything nearby, which eventually left us with impressive piles of loose materials. We needed a solution – and that is how Moder Warehouse came into being.

I decided to create my first Valheim mod. Days passed, new ideas appeared, and one problem after another was solved. After the warehouse had been running for a few days, my younger crew – who study mathematics – approached me and demanded a statistics board. Later, caretaker Krause joined us. He keeps the warehouse tidy and rejects items that have no business being there.

This entire mod is a hobby for me: a chance to create something useful and, at the same time, a little playful. The joy of playing should take centre stage again – not endless depositing and withdrawing, or spending hours running through storage rooms in search of one particular item. Those chores had gradually started to diminish our enjoyment of the game.

Once the first version was running reasonably well, I thought: surely we are not the only people with this problem. So I decided to prepare a public package and make it available to all of you.

I deliberately chose the MIT licence. Anyone who feels inspired should be free to continue working on the mod, improve it and contribute new ideas. I hope it gives you more time for adventures, more enjoyment, and a little more order across your world.

Best wishes,

Cris Haani

P.S.: You may wonder why there is no direct way to contact me. That is a deliberate choice. I would rather work quietly and discreetly in the background than take part in large discussions. I am not chasing clicks or likes, and I probably never will. But if you enjoy the mod, you are still very welcome to leave a thumbs-up here—that little bit of feedback is more than enough for me. With that said: stay healthy and remember to enjoy life!

What's new in 2.0.2 and 2.0.3

• Faster: a warehouse cycle with an awake board takes about 45 ms instead of about

110 ms (567 chests). Arriving at a base no longer triggers world-wide scans, the first cycle at a freshly loaded base is spread over several frames, and global REQ stock queries use a remembered index instead of reading every world object.

• New chests: category chests (ORE, BARS, FOOD, MEADS, AMMO, TROPHIES,

WEAPONS, ARMOR, TOOLS, FISH), a catch-all MISC chest and refill chests ([WH:<id>:FILL] Coal 50), see below.

• More overview: a NO ROOM notice when items find no place, automatic compaction of

item types spread over several chests, a capacity forecast and a daily statistics CSV.

• Statistics: daily totals for 365 days, item details for 90 days, a permanent start day.
• Clearer states: boards show INACTIVE with the reason instead of freezing.
• Fixes: German bar/ore/scrap names, exactly one item type per withdrawal,

TARGET/SOLL in every language, open chests stay in stock.

• Removed: pre-2.0 migration code and the AutoLabelDelay setting.

The full list is in CHANGELOG.md. No world migration is required.

Requirements

Install on the dedicated server only:

1. BepInExPack for Valheim 5
2. ServersideQoL 2.0.13 or a confirmed compatible later version
3. YamlDotNet 16.3.1
4. Moder Warehouse

BepInEx, ServersideQoL and YamlDotNet are separate dependencies and are not included. YamlDotNet is used for optional JSON translation files; the built-in German and English languages remain available without custom translations. Players joining the server do not need Moder Warehouse or YamlDotNet on their client.

Installation

1. Stop the server and create a tested world backup.
2. Install BepInEx, ServersideQoL and YamlDotNet. Thunderstore managers install these

declared dependencies automatically; for manual server installation, place YamlDotNet.dll in BepInEx/plugins.

1. Copy ModerWarehouse.dll to

BepInEx/plugins/ModerWarehouse/ModerWarehouse.dll.

1. Start the server.
2. Confirm Loading [Moder Warehouse 2.0.3] and the initialization message in the

BepInEx log.

Quick start

Choose a warehouse id such as main. Place ordinary signs no more than three metres from their intended chests:
