Storage Capacity Display

Made for checking how much room is left in your storage without opening every container.

See occupied and total inventory slots directly on your lockers and crates. 30 / 35 means 30 slots are used and five are free. The counter updates as items move in and out, and reads the container's actual capacity.

Your container names stay as they are. The counter sits below the nameplate where possible, or just above containers that don't have one.

If a nameplate loads late, the counter moves into place automatically. Larger bases may take a few moments to settle after loading.

Installation

Install with r2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager, then launch the game modded. Requires BepInExPack 5.4.2305 or later.

For a local install, use Import local mod and select StorageCapacityDisplay-1.0.2.zip from the GitHub release.

For manual installation, put StorageCapacityDisplay.dll in BepInEx/plugins/StorageCapacityDisplay/.

Co-op

Anyone who wants to see the counters needs the mod installed. The host doesn't need it for guests to use it, and players without it aren't affected.

Counters follow the inventory updates received by your game, including changes made by other players. Updates can take a moment with connection lag, and labels may appear gradually when loading a large base.

Settings

Launch the game once to create:

BepInEx/config/noxie.planetcrafter.storagecapacitydisplay.cfg

Edit it with the game closed, then restart.

With nearby-only display off, counters follow normal world rendering. Walls still hide them. Long custom formats may shrink or get cut off.

Compatibility and bugs

Works independently of Player Inventory Stacks, which stacks backpacks and leaves storage unchanged. Storage capacity changes are read from the inventory, so counters aren't fixed to vanilla sizes. The mod doesn't change your items, names or save data.

Stacks count as one slot when the inventory stores them as one entry. Mods that visually group several separate storage entries may show a higher count. Unusual modded containers may need positioning adjustments, and unopened loot containers may not show a counter until the game creates their inventory.

Found a problem? Open an issue on GitHub with what happened, your game/mod versions, the container type, whether you were hosting or joining, and your BepInEx/LogOutput.log.

Changelog

1.0.2

• Resolve nameplate canvases even when the game has not activated their text yet.
• Recheck counter placement after loading, moving fallback counters beneath nameplates when they become available.
• Inspect all nameplate candidates instead of stopping at an unassigned wrapper component.
• Reuse existing counter objects and materials; share the four-operation visual budget with placement recovery and rotate priority across containers.
• Add placement geometry and recovery-path regression checks.

1.0.1

• Replace per-container frame callbacks with one loop for visible fallback labels; skip unchanged rotations.
• Route co-op snapshots directly to the matching inventory's displays.
• Share depth-tested font materials with reference-counted cleanup.
• Limit new visual setup to four counters per tick and back off when fonts are unavailable.
• Defer hidden counter text refreshes and make suspension idempotent.
• Use a single startup discovery scan; native container Start hooks handle subsequent scene loads.
• Add performance regression checks and a managed snapshot-dispatch benchmark.

1.0.0

• Add separate world-space occupied / total storage counters without changing player labels.
• Read live inventory sizes and underlying occupied entries.
• Discover loaded and newly constructed openable containers; support native secondary proxies.
• Subscribe to inventory events and native co-op watches, with a one-second cached fallback.
• Add enable, format and optional distance settings.
• Include offline verification, reproducible build scripts and Thunderstore packaging.
