Smarter Containers

This is a upload from the Nexus to get a new version. I take no credit in their work. Below is the README from Nexus.

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

• range - defines area to locate "nearby" containers
• onlyStackableItems - (enabled by default) when enabled - non stackable items (tools, weapons, armor) are NOT rearranged
• hudMessageEnabled - (enabled by default) Enables hud message indicating that item was placed to some other chest.
• hudMessageText - HUD message consists of Icon, item-name plus this hudMessageText
• audioFeedbackEnabled - play ingame-sound if items are successfully distributed
• effectFeedbackEnabled - display a temporary visual effect over chests where your items were distributed

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

• enabled - (true by default) enables item groups logic
• itemTypeGroupsEnabled - enables grouping by item-types (Trophie, Tool, Ammo, Armor, Weapon).
• groupingKeyModifier - LeftControl. Change to "LeftControl + LeftShift" if you want separate hotkey for triggering grouping logic.

(holding ctrl is mandatory since it's a "move-stack" ingame key)

• createGroupBtnEnabled - (true by default) adds a UI button which helps to create custom item-groups
• createGroupBtnPos - adjusts button position
• fuzzyGroupingEnabled - (false by default) enable grouping by more broad criteria.

Preconfigured item groups

[ItemGroup] config section contains a set of item-names based groups:

valuables = ruby,coins,amber,amberpearl
ore = copperore,flametalore,ironore,silverore,tinore,ironscrap,blackmetalscrap
rock = stone,flint,obsidian
ingots = copper,bronze,flametal,iron,silver,tin,blackmetal
wood = wood,finewood,corewood,ancientbark
mushrooms = Mushroom,MushroomBlue,MushroomYellow
berries = Blueberries,Cloudberry,Raspberry,Honey
vegetables = Carrot,Turnip
cookedMeat = CookedLoxMeat,NeckTailGrilled,MeatCooked,FishCooked,SerpentMeatCooked
food = CarrotSoup,Sausages,QueensJam,SerpentStew,TurnipStew,BloodPudding

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)

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).
