📋 About This Mod

Better Stacks

Presentation

Better Stacks allow the player to multiply the stack limit per category of items.

The mod works with the delivereries

This mod is for now not compatible on the alternate branch

Configuration

Default values

- x3 for packaging

- x2 for products

- x10 for consumable

- x10 for ingredients

- x2 for coca leafs

The capacity of mixing stations and drying racks are also NOT multiplied by default.

The speed of the mixing stations is also NOT multiplied by default.

Change the configuration

All values are configurable by editing the BetterStacksConfig.json file.

For exemple, this line means that all items stacks in the Packaging category will be multiplied by 3 :

"Packaging": 3,That means that baggies and jars will stack from 20 to 60

All values must be integers (whole numbers) and each line must finish by a ",", except the last parameter.

For a safe configuration, only modify the values and keep the file structure

Installation

Patch notes

- Initial release

- Deliveries support

- Added capacity configuration for mixing station and drying rack

- Added a speed configuration for the mixing station

- Default configuration modified

- Fixed files hierarchy for Vortex

- Speed grow is now considered as a Growing item (the game considered it as a Product)

- Coca leafs stacks are now configurable as a standalone category (the game considered it as an Ingredient)

- Fixed mixing time for values >3, the minimum time per item will still be 1

- The default mixing time multiplier is now at 1, as it's not the mod main usage, the speed can still set to 3 to reproduce the old behaviour
