ReStory mod overview
ReStory has an active community plugin category on Nexus Mods. These are unofficial tools, not Steam Workshop content. Back up your saves, match the required loader and install one plugin at a time.
Compatibility is author-specific
A BepInEx plugin is not automatically interchangeable with a MelonLoader build. Use the exact loader, version and folder named by the author.
Current ReStory mods worth knowing.
ReStory Infinite Sandbox
Adds a separate Infinite Mode save and removes story-ending pressure from open-ended shop play. The author states that Story and Infinite Mode saves remain separate.
TimeIsMoney
Adjusts or pauses the clock and optionally changes money through hotkeys or an F4 panel. Pausing time also pauses deliveries and workshop projects, so resume the clock briefly when they need to advance.
Better Workbench
Packs loose parts into rows, highlights condition and sorts the notebook by remaining work. The current description assigns F and Shift+F to packing and G to highlights.
Item Rescue
Moves loose table items back toward the workspace when a part becomes unreachable. Press F7 to trigger recovery; it does not assemble the device for you.
Firmware Fix
Restores easier hacking for MyPod and Guitar devices. Update ReStory first because official patch 1.0.009r addressed firmware bugs on both device families.
ReStory-AutoOrder
Adds a notepad button that detects missing or damaged parts and orders them after confirmation without discarding items already in the cart.
A clean installation sequence.
Back up the save folder
Copy the ReStory save data before installing a loader or plugin. A separate backup protects both story progress and settings.
Confirm the required loader
Use the loader and architecture named by the author. Infinite Sandbox specifically calls for BepInEx 5.x, x64 and Unity Mono.
Launch once before adding plugins
Let BepInEx create its folders, quit the game, then copy the plugin into the path stated on the mod page.
Test one change at a time
Open the game, confirm the mod appears and check an existing save before adding another plugin.
Protect the save and the diagnosis.
- Download from the author's Nexus page, not a re-upload.
- Record the mod version and game build together.
- Remove the newest plugin first when a menu, save or input problem appears.
- Never report a modded-save bug as a clean-game bug without reproducing it after disabling plugins.
Sources and limits.
Descriptions and loader requirements come from the linked author pages. ReStory Bench has not installed these mods locally, so this page does not claim first-party compatibility testing.
