📋 About This Mod

Automatic Fuel

About the Mod:

This now autofuels torches, spinning wheels, windmills, campfires, hearths plus smelters and kilns.

This mod is a combination of my own code and scaled down version of Aedenthorn's AutoFuel mod.

Credit goes to Aedenthorn for the idea and original mod.

    Compatibility:

    Can now pull from custom containers too!

    - Confirmed to work with Item Drawers and the chests in Clutter

    I often get questions about the pictures of configurations and how to change the mod settings without editing files manually. I highly recommend using an in-game Configuration Manager mod like this one or this one.  These configuration utility mods allow changes to be instant (for most settings) and allow changes to be done in-game.

    A config file BepInEx/config/tastychickenlegs.automaticfuel.cfg is created after running the game once with this mod).

    You can adjust the config values by editing this file using a text editor or in-game using the Config Manager.

    distributedFilling = If true, refilling will occur one piece of fuel or ore at a time, making filling take longer but be better distributed between objects.

    StackSmelters Allow the ability to stack smelters and kilns.  Turns off the smoke and prohibits the blocked smoke check.
