The exosuit protects the player from planet hazards. The exosuit includes a backpack that allows for storage of items and technology upgrades.
Upgrades will provide additional bonuses if similar technologies are grouped on the inventory page.
The exosuit has a maximum of 48 inventory slots. Each slot can hold 1 to 250 items of a particular stackable material. Not all materials are stackable.
Components
The initial exosuit has 12 inventory slots and comes with the basic pre-installed following components:
The base inventory size of the exosuit backpack can be upgraded from 12 slots to a maximum total of 48 slots. Each upgrade station can be used once to increase the inventory size by one slot. The first upgrade is free, Subsequent upgrades increase cost by 10000 units per upgrade. For example:
12 to 13 - free
22 to 23 - 100,000 units
32 to 33 - 200,000 units
42 to 43 - 300,000 units
47 to 48 - 350,000 units
If all upgrades are done using an upgrade station, the total cost to upgrade the exosuit to its maximum capacity will be 6.3 million units.
To upgrade the inventory, the player may locate an upgrade station either in Drop pods or Rooms that require Atlas Pass V1 to access. Use Bypass Chip on a Signal Scanner and selecting Shelter. This will locate a Drop Pod that contains an upgrade station. Upgrade stations can also be found on space stations or shelters with additional wings, where a room can be unlocked after the player has acquired the AtlasPass V1.
Stamina
Main article: Stamina
The amount of time a player can spend underwater (and the maximum depth/pressure) are items that can be upgraded. Sean Murray has indicated that his character died in one game while trying to dive deeper than his suit would allow. "I found an ocean which was really deep, and my suit couldn't handle reaching the bottom. I could scan and see something was down there, but it was quite dark. I dived down and ended up drowning."

* A bug in the "Install technology" panel list the "Coolant Network Theta" and " Toxin Suppressor Theta" as their "Tau" counterpart. But they are different.
