is it essintial to make the stack size equal to 2 to the power of x?
Is it possible to make it e.g. 5,000 in the mods?

not essential, yes it possible

why you post mod creating question in game help?

probably because there's no "mod help" forum, only a "mod contribution" forum.

Actually there is a modding help subforum (inside the mods section), here
edit: just moved it there, a more appropriate place after all

We plan to change stack sizes to x*10^y (10, 20, 100, 200 etc) for the 0.10 version, but there is no rule for the stack sizes, you can have just prime numbers in your mod if you want

But when I think about it: Choosing fibonacci-numbers isn't that stupid! Look at the beauty:

0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 610 987 1597 2584 4181 6765

The former two stack-sizes fits into the next. Makes totally sense for many cases and could play a role when upgrading... instead of increasing the stacks we can inrease the stack-size with very logical rule... scnr just an idea...
