About this mod

Want to quickly drop your loot? Tired of looking for chest with a specific item-stack in order to store some more of it?
Teach your containers to arrange items with their neighbors!

Features

• Teaches your containers to automatically send items you put in them to other containers if they are already containing this item-stack.
• Puts same-kinded items to their siblings: copper-ore goes to chest containing tin-ore and so on.
• You can create such item-groups from any items combination - just put your carrots, stones and feathers in one box, click the button and from now on your carrots will go to chest with feathers.
• Configure mod to load-out all specific loot-items from your inventory to a proper chests via a single button click.

How it works:

When you put an item stack to a container via [Ctrl + Click]:

• If container is full or doesn't contain same items:
  • check each nearby container and if it is not full and has same item (stack) - your item is routed there.
• otherwise (if none found):
  • check each nearby container and if it is not full and has "relevant" group items - your items are routed there.

In other words: If group contains your item and chest contains any other item from a group, then your item will go to this chest.

General Configuration parameters

Grouping items

There are three available options to define an item-group:

• by explicitly listing all item-names of group-members
• by matching item-name prefixes: trophyboar and trophytroll are members of group with 'trophy' prefix
• by matching item-name postfixes: carrotSeeds and turnipSeeds are members of group with 'seeds' postfix
• by matching in-game item-type: Tool, Weapon, Ammo, Armor, Trophie

Grouping Configuration parameters

Preconfigured item groups

Preconfigured groups matching item-names by postfixes or prefixes:

• [PostfixedItemGroups] posfixes = cone,seeds,pelt,hide # i.e. CarrotSeeds will go to TurnipSeeds
• [PrefixedItemGroups] prefixes = trophy,mead,arrow,armor,cape,helmet,atgeir,bow,battleaxe,knife,mace,shield,sledge,spear,sword,tankard # i.e. ArrowFire will go to ArrowFlint

How it works:

• When you put an item stack to container via [Ctrl + Click]
  • if simple container lookup by same-item-name described above has no results then:
  • check each nearby container and if both container and your item are
    • members of same item-names based group (either preconfigured or user-created group form [ItemGroup] config section) - or members of same item-names-prefix based group - or members of same item-names-postfix based group - then item is routed there.
  • if none matched - check each nearby container and if container has any item with item-type same as your items type then item is routed there (could be disabled with itemTypeGroupsEnabled config option)
  • if none of the above matched and fuzzyGroupingEnabled option enabled - additional item-types based groups are checked: IsMaterial, IsConsumable, IsCustomization, IsMisc

Adding custom item groups

Put desired items set to a chest, click the [☼] button (at the bottom-left corner of chest panel). New group will contain all unique item-names from this chest.

Merging or extending item groups

When you click the [☼] button mod will check if items in current chest are already members of some item-names based group. In such case - a prompt dialog will appear with options:

• to continue with creating new group anyway
• to merge all detected groups into a single (largest group will be used as a "base" group)

Unloading items.

• Configure item-groups & names which should be allowed for 'unloading'.
• Open any chest and click the [⇓⇓] button.

'Unloading' Configuration parameters

How it works:

Checks each non-equipped item in your inventory and:

1. if item is NOT in itemsSkipList config option

• if item matches any group from groupsList config option
• or item-name is listed in itemsList config option
• or item-type is Materials and materialsFiltering config option enabled
• or item-type is Trophy and trophiesFiltering config option enabled
• or item-type is Consumable and consumableFiltering config option enabled

1. try to move item to nearby 'relevant' chest

Configuring from game UI

• Shift + click [☼] button: allow all items in currently opened chest to be unloaded by adding their names to itemsList config option.
• Ctrl + click [☼] button: disable all items in currently opened chest to be unloaded by adding their names to itemsSkipList config option.

Disabling preconfigured groups

You can disable any preconfigured group

• in config file: by deleting part after '=' symbol. Example: "vegetables ="
• from ConfigurationManager UI: by setting value to empty string

ⓘ You can manually verify, merge or add new groups to [ItemGroup] config section. Example: "fishes = FishRaw,FishCooked". (requires game-restart) Item-names could be discovered:

• by googling some "valheim Spawn items list".
• by pressing "Ctrl + L + click" (instead of Ctrl + click) while moving item to chest: item-name will be printed to console (F5).

Controller support

Configuring mod:

• Recommended: enable in-game console (opened by F5) by adding -console launch option.
• Recommended: install latest [BepInEx.ConfigurationManager]
• Start the game. Adjust config via ConfigurationManager while playing game (press F1 while in menu or at inventory UI)
• From a config file at Valheim\BepInEx\config\flueno.SmartContainers.cfg. Requires game restart.
