NoCostShop is a quality-of-life mod for Data Center that makes the in-game shop effectively free.
It removes both XP and coin costs from purchases while keeping the checkout system fully functional through a compatibility workaround.
The mod integrates with the in-game modular menu system via DataCenter-RustBridge for easy configuration.

0everywhere
The mod does not set prices to true zero internally.
Instead:
- XP unlock cost →
0- The game can tolerate XP being 0 on the backend.1will lock a fresh save out of all items. - Coin price internal value →
1 - Coin price displayed value →
0
This is required because the game cannot process orders with a coin price of 0, and setting it directly would break checkout.
This is a shop-focused quality-of-life mod.
It does not:
- Modify unrelated gameplay systems
- Rebalance the entire economy
- Permanently edit save data
- Designed for convenience and sandbox-style gameplay
- Keeps purchase flow intact while making items free
- Uses runtime patches rather than invasive changes
