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.

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.
