📋 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.

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.

StackSmelters Allow the ability to stack smelters and kilns. Turns off the smoke and prohibits the blocked smoke check.
verifyClient This turns on and off the need to verify other clients. Users can now play without the mod on a server with the mod.
