Inventory Balance

🎮 **A balance module that solves your inventory worries! **

This mod replaces the inventory file that affects the stack size of items you get from dungeon crawling. It's designed to solve a classic dilemma in long missions: Keep going with the loot but with fewer supplies, or leave early and give up the loot? The settings of the original game often forced players to choose between almost annihilating the team or retreating early (this penalty is even more severe if you have rebalancing mods installed).

Now you can manage your adventures more confidently!

✨ Module function

  • **Rebalance stacking limit**: Adjusted the stacking quantity of various items to make resource management more reasonable.
  • **Resource Dilemma**: In long missions, you no longer need to be forced to make painful choices between loot and survival supplies.
  • **Value Optimization**: After adjustment, a full stack of any sellable item is worth more than a full stack of gold coins.
  • **Compatibility Support**: Contains compatibility files with "3 Accessories Mod".

🛠️ Installation method

Main installation (recommended)

  • Unzip the file and place the backup file in a safe location where it cannot be affected or altered by the game.
  • Copy the `inventory` folder and paste it into the game home directory overlay (for example: `...Steam\steamapps\common\DarkestDungeon`).

Alternate installation (manual modification)

If you have installed other mods that modify inventory files (non-trinket mods), please use this method:

  • Open the `inventory.darkest` file located in `...Steam\steamapps\common\DarkestDungeon\inventory` with a text editor.
  • Modify the stacking values ​​of the following items to:
  • **provision** - 16
  • **gold** - 4000
  • **portrait** - 6
  • **bust** - 12
  • **crest** - 24
  • **deed** - 12
  • **ancient_idol** - 3
  • **ruby** - 8
  • **sapphire** - 8
  • **emerald** - 10
  • **onyx** - 12
  • **jade** - 14
  • **citrine** - 16
  • **trapezohedron** - 5
  • **antiqrelicsmall** - 40
  • **antiqrelic** - 10
  • **pewrelic** - 3
  • **shovel** - 4
  • **firewood** - 4 (no reason not to stack it)
  • **bandage** - 8
  • **antivenom** - 8
  • **skeleton key** - 8
  • **medicinal herbs** - 8
  • **torch** - 12
  • **holy water** - 8
  • **dog treats** - 6

**⚠️Special Attention**:

  • Additional modification required only if **3trinkets module** is installed: `hero_equipped_trinkets - 3`
  • If you have the 3 accessories module but do not see the compatible folder, please download this module again.

💡 Usage suggestions and experiences

With this mod installed, dungeon exploration will be much less stressful! You no longer have to look at a backpack full of gems and antiques, but worry about a bundle of firewood or a few bandages. The increase in the number of supply stacks allows you to focus more on strategy and exploration instead of tedious inventory micro-management. For players who like long-term battles or high-difficulty challenges, this is almost a must-have optimization.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
