Install Stacksize Controller on a Rust Server

Overview

Rust storage fills up fast when every resource stack insists on being tiny. If your players gather large amounts of wood, stone, ore, or components, default stack limits can turn boxes into clutter museums. Stacksize Controller lets a Rust server owner raise stack limits globally, by category, or for specific items.

This guide covers installing the plugin, enabling uMod, using the main commands, and checking the usual problems if the plugin does not respond.

Install Stacksize Controller

1. Download Stacksize Controller from its uMod plugin page.

1. Open your HolyHosting server panel and stop the Rust server.

1. Find Enable uMod Support, make sure it is checked, then save the change.

1. Open the file manager from your server panel.

1. Go into the oxide folder, then open the plugins folder.

1. Upload the Stacksize Controller `.cs` file into the plugins folder.

1. Wait for the upload to finish, return to the main server page, and start the server again.

Once the server boots, uMod should load the plugin automatically. If it does not, the plugin file is probably in the wrong folder or uMod support was not active when the server started.

Useful Stack Size Commands

Stacksize Controller includes several console commands for changing limits. These are the most common ones:

• `stacksizecontroller.setallstacks [stack multiplier]`: Sets one multiplier for every compatible item category.
• `stacksizecontroller.setstack [item shortname or id] [stack limit or multiplier]`: Changes the stack size for one specific item.
• `stacksizecontroller.listcategories`: Shows all available item categories.
• `stacksizecontroller.listcategoryitems [category name]`: Lists items inside a chosen category.
• `stacksizecontroller.setstackcat [category name] [stack multiplier]`: Sets a multiplier for every item in a category.

For the complete command list, check the Stacksize Controller page on uMod.

Run Commands From Console

1. Open the HolyHosting server panel.
2. Select Console from the panel sidebar.
3. Type the command into the console field and press Enter.

Example:

`stacksizecontroller.setallstacks 200`

That command applies a 200 multiplier to compatible stack sizes. Use sensible values unless you want storage boxes to feel like warehouse portals.

Common Problems

Plugin commands do not work: Confirm that uMod support is enabled and saved in the panel. Then check that the `.cs` file was uploaded to `oxide/plugins`, not the main server directory. Restart the server after correcting either setting so the plugin can load cleanly.

Commands fail in-game: In-game use requires admin access or the correct permissions. You can grant broad Stacksize Controller access with `oxide.grant user [YourSteam64ID] stacksizecontroller.*`. If permissions are still being difficult, run the command from the server console instead.
