About this mod Author’s original text

Player Inventory Stacks

A single-purpose BepInEx 5 mod for The Planet Crafter intended to make material collection easier without breaking the game experience. Matching items stack to 64 in player backpacks only, with a small white quantity at the bottom right of each stack.

Chests, storage containers, machines, vehicles and equipped-item slots keep their normal capacity and one-item-per-slot behavior. Items with different saved state (such as DNA, names or charge) remain separate. Carried objects that own another inventory also remain separate.

Install with r2modman

  • Select The Planet Crafter and your profile in r2modman.
  • Install BepInExPack by BepInEx, version 5.4.2305 or later, from the Online list. This is the mod loader, not another gameplay mod. Official package.
  • Use Import local mod and select PlayerInventoryStacks-1.0.2.zip. Depending on r2modman version, this is under the Profile menu / Import-Update or Settings / Profile.
  • Click Start modded.

Moving and using items

  • Left-click: moves one item. A backpack stack of 64 becomes 63, and the chest receives one item in one slot.
  • Shift + left-click, or the game's configured accessibility key + left-click: uses the game's transfer-all-matching-items action, stopping when the destination cannot accept more. A stack of 64 becomes 54 when filling an empty ten-slot chest. If several backpack stacks contain the same item type, this action can transfer from all of them, as in the base game.
  • Moving items back into the backpack combines compatible items up to 64 per slot.
  • Consume, drop, equipment actions, sorting, and Move All retain their normal controls. Consuming or dropping a displayed item acts on one item.
  • Tab, then right-click water, food, or an oxygen refill: consumes exactly one item when the game accepts its use (64 becomes 63), refreshes the quantity, and clears the slot when its final item is consumed. The game's usual full-gauge restrictions still apply.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

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