DynamicStorage Forge

Functional forge storage that visibly grows as you fill it.

DynamicStorage Forge adds dedicated storage piles and metal stacks for Valheim's ores, scraps and refined metals.

Each piece acts as real storage restricted to its matching resource, while its appearance changes as materials are added or removed. Instead of hiding your forge stock inside ordinary chests, stored resources become a visible part of the workshop.

Ore piles and metal stacks have separate server-controlled capacities, while appearance and visual-fill settings are saved individually to each placed piece.

Dynamic Visual Filling

Your forge storage visibly changes as you fill it.

Ore piles progress through visual stages as more inventory slots are occupied.

By default, ore piles use:

• Looks Full At: Match Storage Capacity
• Ore Pile Capacity: 10 / 20 / 40 / 60 slots

You can also choose a fixed visual threshold or Always Full for a static appearance.

Metal stacks can fill based on either:

• Occupied Slots — visual size follows the number of inventory slots in use
• Stored Bar Count — visual size follows the actual number of bars stored

Visual fullness is independent from storage capacity, so larger inventories do not require excessive numbers of rendered objects.

Appearance & Customisation

Resource Piles

Every ore, scrap and resource pile has its own appearance settings, including:

• Preset
• Layout
• Layout Scale
• Layout Height
• Model
• Model Scale
• Material
• Finish
• Visual Vertical Offset
• Looks Full At

Layouts, models and materials can be mixed and matched rather than being locked to one fixed appearance.

Configuration values act as placement templates. Once a piece is placed, its appearance is saved directly to that object, allowing different piles of the same resource to use different styles while sharing the same server-controlled storage capacity.

Metal Stack Styles

Metal storage uses generated layouts rather than one fixed stack model.

Available arrangement families include:
