StackStorageAuthority

Experimental storage stack changes for ASKA, covering selected building storage, carts and sleds.

Version 0.2.0 is a test build. It has compiled successfully against the supplied game libraries, but has not been tested in-game or in multiplayer. It is not a confirmed fix for item loss or network synchronization. Back up your world and test on a disposable copy.

Features

• Retains the building storage rules from version 0.1.0.
• Adds cart and sled storage rules during container initialization.
• Creates separate copies of vehicle storage type data rather than modifying shared vehicle assets.
• Uses default vehicle multipliers of 5 for carts and 3 for sleds.
• Medium storage classes receive an additional factor of 10. Small classes receive that factor only when their base class limit is 1.

The small-item rule uses the storage class limit, whereas ExpandedCartStorage checks the individual item's stack size. Capacities may therefore differ from that mod.

Installation

Install BepInExPack IL2CPP 6.0.755, then this package through r2modman or a compatible mod manager.

Before launching the game:

1. Back up your world save.
2. Disable ExpandedBuildingStorage and ExpandedCartStorage on both computers.
3. Remove any manually installed older StackStorageAuthority DLL from the active plugins directory. Keep backups outside that directory; load only one version.
4. Install the same version of this mod on both computers.
5. Launch once to generate the configuration and use identical settings on both computers.

For manual installation, copy plugins/StackStorageAuthority/StackStorageAuthority.dll from this archive into BepInEx/plugins/StackStorageAuthority/.

Configuration

File: BepInEx/config/michal.ASKA.StackStorageAuthority.cfg

Section	Setting	Default
General	Small Items	3
General	Medium Items	10
General	Large Items	5
Vehicles	Cart Multiplier	5
Vehicles	Sled Multiplier	3

Vehicle multipliers are clamped to 1–100. Restart the game after changing settings.

Compatibility and limitations

• This package replaces the listed building and cart mods; do not enable them alongside it.
• It does not replace StackSizeMultiplier's player-inventory functionality.
• Karvi support is not added. KarviExpandedStorage remains a separate mod, and coexistence has not been tested.
• Matching settings on both peers are required; automatic configuration synchronization is not implemented.
• Behavior depends on the game's initialization order and storage override settings and requires in-game verification.
• Vehicle data copies are retained until the game process exits. Memory use in long sessions has not been measured.

Testing

On a test world, check both existing and newly built carts and sleds, with small, medium and large items. Have the host and client each deposit and withdraw items, open the same storage, reconnect, and reload the saved world. Verify total item counts, not only the displayed capacity. Check building and Karvi storage separately for regressions.

The log should show Vehicle limits applied on both computers when supported vehicle storage is initialized. This message alone does not prove multiplayer correctness.

Removal

Restore the pre-installation world backup, or reduce all affected stacks to vanilla limits before removing the mod. Removing it while oversized stacks remain can cause item loss.
