30K Stack Sizes Mod

The 30K Stacks mod by Elucidus4 is a foundational quality-of-life improvement for 7 Days to Die 1.0. By expanding the default stack limits from a few hundred to a massive 30,000 units, it fundamentally changes the game's inventory logistics and base organization strategy.

The Impact on Game Logistics

In vanilla 7 Days to Die, inventory management is a core survival loop. The 30K Stacks mod effectively removes the "storage tax" on late-game resources. This is particularly transformative for:

  • Mega-Builders: Carrying 30,000 concrete mix in one slot allows for uninterrupted construction of massive fortresses.
  • Resource Management: A single chest can now hold the output of an entire mining operation, reducing the need for sprawling "chest rooms" in your base.
  • Mining Efficiency: Players can mine thousands of iron, coal, and nitrate without constantly pausing to manage their inventory or transport loads back to base.

Technical Implementation

Unlike some mods that individually edit every item, 30K Stacks uses clean XML patching to target the Stacknumber attribute across all items and blocks. This makes it highly compatible with other mods, as it doesn't conflict with item functionality—only their storage capacity.

Performance Note: Extremely large stacks are generally stable, but some players report rare UI flickering when crafting directly from containers with over 100,000 units of an item. 30,000 is considered the "sweet spot" for stability.

Community Consensus

The community widely regards this as a "must-have" for seasoned players who have mastered the early-game inventory struggle and wish to focus on complex crafting and large-scale engineering projects. However, "purists" argue it trivializes the survival aspect of choosing what to loot.
