StackingPlus

StackingPlus

Raise Dyson Sphere Program's cargo stacking caps beyond vanilla 4x, with an

optional belt-speed boost.

Author: zicarius

Version: 1.0.0

Game: Dyson Sphere Program (current Steam release)

Loader: BepInEx 5.4.17+

For players whose factories outgrow vanilla's stacking ceiling - especially

alongside DSPCalculator / DSPCalculatorPlus, where a high-throughput

blueprint's byproduct (hydrogen at scale is the classic case) can exceed even

a fully-stacked Mk.III belt.

What it does

Vanilla DSP caps cargo stacking - how many items a Pile Sorter piles onto one

belt cargo slot, how much a logistics station piler stacks, how much a

delivery package carries - at 4x. StackingPlus raises that ceiling (default

8x, configurable up to the game's hard byte limit of 255x) across four

independent dimensions, and optionally speeds up belts themselves. By

default it's tech-gated: your factory plays exactly like vanilla until

you've researched the vanilla-max stacking tech, then the higher cap kicks

in automatically.

Features

• Four independent stacking caps, each toggleable and separately

configurable: sorter output (the belt cargo cap - the core throughput

fix), sorter input, station piler, and delivery package.

• Tech-gated by default - early game is untouched vanilla; the boost

applies once you've researched the vanilla-max stacking tech for that

dimension. A config toggle makes it apply immediately instead.

• Raise-only - never lowers a value you already have above the

configured cap, even if you tune the cap down later.

• Optional belt-speed multiplier (experimental, default OFF) that

genuinely speeds up belts, including a full fix so a boosted belt still

visually renders as its real tier instead of looking like a faster one.

• Works with DSPCalculatorPlus out of the box - when both are

installed, DSPCalculatorPlus automatically plans blueprints against your

raised cap (no extra config on either side), letting its overflow fix push

a stuck high-throughput byproduct past the vanilla belt wall.

Installation

Via r2modman Mod Manager (recommended):

• Install r2modman or the Mod Manager.
• Search "Dyson Sphere Program" and set up a profile.
• Search "StackingPlus" in the Online tab and install.
• Launch the game through the mod manager.

Manual install:

• Install BepInEx 5 for Dyson Sphere Program.
• Download the latest StackingPlus-.zip from the

Releases page.

• Extract the ZIP into your Dyson Sphere Program folder so the

plugins\ path lands inside BepInEx\plugins\.

• Launch the game once. BepInEx creates

BepInEx\config\com.zicarius.StackingPlus.cfg with the defaults.

• (Optional) Edit that.cfg to taste.

Before you install

This is a BepInEx plugin - it patches the game's code at runtime using

Harmony, targeting the game's own save-load, tech-research, and belt

rendering methods.

• Only download from sources you trust. Only this mod's

page or the GitHub repo - treat

re-uploads elsewhere as unsafe.

• Game updates can break it. A DSP update may stop this mod from

working until a compatibility update is released. Every patched method

is resolved defensively (via reflection) - a rename disables just that

one feature with a log warning instead of crashing.

• Save impact - be aware, not alarmed. The raised stacking values (and

boosted belt speeds, if enabled) are stored using the game's own existing

save fields - nothing new is added to the save format. Once a cap is

raised in your save, it stays raised even if you later uninstall the mod

or lower the cap in config (the mod only ever raises, never lowers) - a

harmless lingering buff, not corruption. Still, back up your save before

trying a new mod, as always.

Configuration

All settings live in the BepInEx config file - there is no in-game settings

window.
