📋 About This Mod
RecipeManager
This is a lightweight recipe modification tool. You can define recipes to Add, Modify, Delete etc. It does not use any patches, and does not run constantly.
If you want to do more than modify recipes and pieces check out WackysDB
In Valheim a recipe is something that is crafting at a crafting station, or cooking station etc. For example, to make wood arrows you use a crafting recipe from the workbench.
Building pieces (built with the hammer) are not recipes, furnace conversions (1 ore for 1 ingot etc) are not recipes.
Pieces are almost anything that is placed. Everything built with the hammer, plants placed with the cultivator, placable food etc.

Recipes can be manipulated and added through yaml. All of the existing recipes can also be dumped to a file, in the same format to help you find and understand existing recipes.
Its recommended to use a syntax highlighting yaml editor when modifying recipes to help ensure that your yaml is valid. yamlChecker is a free online linter you can use to validate also.
Recipe modifications are stored at \BepInEx\config\RecipeManager\Recipes.yaml. This file will be generated on the first run if it does not already exist.
Yaml configuration example:
