OttoFuel

OttoFuel

Updated for Valheim 1.0

Version 1.7.2, built and Harmony-checked against Valheim 1.0.20.

OttoFuel keeps your production burning. It pulls fuel and ore out of nearby chests and off the ground, then feeds them to the things that need them.

Maintainer: Paul Otto

What it fuels

• Torches, standing torches, wall torches, braziers and campfires
• Hearths and hot tubs
• Smelters, blast furnaces, charcoal kilns, windmills and spinning wheels
• Stone ovens and any other cooking station that burns fuel (new in 1.5.0)
• Shield generators
• Ballistas, which reload with missiles from nearby chests and the ground (new in 1.7.0)

Other features

• Stacked smelters. Removes most smoke and the "smoke blocked" check.
• The blast furnace accepts every ore.
• Kiln output limit, so a kiln stops once you have enough coal.
• Per-object switches, so you can turn any of it off.
• ServerSync. A server pushes its config down to the clients.

A config file BepInEx/config/potto007.OttoFuel.cfg is created after you run the game once with this mod.

Coming from AutomaticFuel? Your settings carry over. On first run OttoFuel looks for TastyChickenLegs.AutomaticFuel.cfg and copies its values into its own file. It never touches an OttoFuel config that already exists.

On a clean install OttoFuel writes a starter config with LeaveLastItem = true, so it never empties a chest to zero. Every other setting keeps its stock value.

Every setting lives in BepInEx/config/potto007.OttoFuel.cfg, and you can change it in a text editor or in game through Configuration Manager. Enabled and IsOn sit in the unnamed section at the top of the file, which BepInEx writes as [].
