StorageCore

Storage Core

A standalone storage network for Valheim, inspired by Magic Storage (Terraria) and Refined Storage (Minecraft). Only needs BepInEx.

Build a Storage Core and every chest you can access nearby becomes one big, searchable storage. Replace your pile of chests with Rune Vaults: stone storage blocks for the core that you upgrade in place.

Features

• Storage Core build piece (Hammer → Crafting tab, needs a workbench) in three looks: the rune-carved Storage Obelisk

(about 2.6 m tall, 1.2 m footprint), the big Storage Core (4 m) obelisk (about 4 m tall, 1.8 m footprint), or the Classic look (the vanilla ward stone model, tinted). Each look is its own piece, so already built cores never change. Costs 10 Fine wood, 5 Bronze and 2 Surtling cores (configurable with BuildCost).

• Auto-connect: all chests within 20 m of the core are connected (radius is configurable). Hover the core to see its range.
• Search & take: one window lists every item in every connected chest. Type to search, sort by name, count or type.
• Left-click: take a stack. Shift + left-click: take all. Right-click: take one.
• Type a number into the Amount box and left-click takes (or stores) exactly that many.
• Deposit with smart stacking: items go to filtered or tagged chests for them first, then to chests that already

hold the same item, then into free space (chests with similar items are preferred).

• Click an item in your inventory to store that stack, or press Deposit all.
• Shift + E on the core stores everything without opening the window.
• Keep list: right-click an item in your inventory panel to mark it KEEP. Kept items are never deposited.

Hotbar, equipped items and ammo are kept by default (configurable). The list is saved per character.

• Crafting: the Crafting tab shows the recipes you know for the stations in range of the core, using materials from

your inventory and the chests. Recipes you lack materials for are shown greyed out (config ShowUncraftableRecipes). Shift = craft 10, Ctrl = craft as many as possible.

• Upgrade tab: upgrade the gear you are carrying with the stations in range, using chest materials. Special

upgrade stations where an upgrade can fail stay vanilla-only.

• Crafting and upgrading in the core run Valheim's own crafting code, so lucky bonus crafts, more output from better

ingredients, skill experience and crafting stats work like at the station, and so do changes other mods make to Valheim's crafting.

• Vanilla stations and building use the network too: stand inside a core's radius and your workbench, forge, cauldron etc.

and the hammer can use materials from the connected chests (both configurable).

• Obelisk colour: click one of the colour dots at the top of the window to change the glow, crystals and sparks of

that obelisk. Saved on the obelisk, everyone sees it, every obelisk can have its own colour.

• Themes: the Theme button switches the window colours (Valheim, Dark stone, Frost, Ember, Mistlands), per player.
• Controls help: the ? button at the top of the window shows every control, one per line.
• Exclude a chest: look at a connected chest and press K to disconnect/reconnect it.
• Chest filters and tags: look at a chest and press L:
• first press: the chest only accepts the item types inside it (fill it first, e.g. with your ores; an empty chest

starts with the tags),

• press again to cycle through category tags: Food, Armor, Weapons, Materials, Smelter, Tools, Trophies, Misc, then off,
• Shift + L removes the filter at once.

Deposits go to the most fitting chest first: item filter, then Smelter tag, then the other tags. When those are full, they go to unfiltered chests that already hold the item, then (config DepositIntoAnyChest, on by default) to any unfiltered chest with room. A filtered chest never takes items outside its filter. Tidy chests moves items into the best fitting filtered chest in the same order. Smelter means what the smelter and blast furnace take (ores, scrap and the like) plus coal, and the same for furnaces from other mods that burn coal. Eitr refinery items (sap, soft tissue) are not Smelter items.

• Categories, pins and tooltips: filter the storage grid and the crafting lists by category (incl. Smelter), pin favourites to the top (middle click / Alt + click),

hover for the full item tooltip, Ctrl + click to make the chests holding an item glow (20 s, only on your screen).
