Is this line   "*": 1000  in the config meant to limit total entitys for the player ? please explain.

* means universal key (everything will match)

Sorry to be dense but I am still not clear on what you mean. blelow is part of my config. I am trying to limit small stashes to 5. tool cupbords to 15 and mining quarrys to 2.  does the "*": 1000 limit something ? total enitys for the player ?
