StackManager Module

The StackManager Module is an optional Carbon module that allows fine-grained control over item stack sizes in Rust. It supports both global and per-item configuration, and applies changes dynamically on server load or when enabled.

Note: This module is designed for balancing loot, optimizing inventory space, or reducing item spam. It does not affect vanilla server validation.

Overview

• Class Name: StackManagerModule
• Enabled by default: No
• Supports Configuration: Yes
• Source: Carbon.Modules/StackManagerModule
• Forces Modded Tag: Yes

StackManager adjusts ItemDefinition.stackable values for all items based on configurable rules.

Configuration

The config is defined in StackManagerConfig:

{
  "GlobalMultiplier": 1.0,
  "GlobalItemsMultiplier": 1.0,
  "ProhibitItemContainerStacking": false,
  "ProhibitItemConsumableContainerStacking": true,
  "ProhibitItemFishableStacking": true,
  "Categories": {
    "Ammunition": 1.0,
    "Food": 2.0,
    "Medical": 2.5
  },
  "Items": {
    "wood": 10000,
    "stone": 5000
  },
  "Blacklist": [
    "water",
    "water.salt"
  ]
}

Example Use Case

"Categories": {
  "Food": 3.0
},
"Items": {
  "scrap": 5000,
  "metal.refined": 1000
}

• All food stacks are tripled.
• Scrap is capped at 5k per stack.
• High quality metal is capped at 1k.

StackManager is perfect for fine-tuning inventory flow and improving server quality-of-life. Combine with loot mods for full control over Rust's economy.
