This quickly results in some tedious inventory management as players end up with an assortment of chests containing their various materials, but thankfully,Valheimdeveloper Jonathan Smårs has shown off a new feature that will make this much easier. A “stack all” button can be found when interacting with containers, and players will be able to automatically deposit any held materials that match that container’s inventory. This removes all the busywork after a lengthy gathering trip, as players can simply interact with each chest and press the button to quickly place everything where it needs to go.
