Exo-suit inventory (pre-NEXT)

Inventory is a general term for items that can be carried or stored by a player.

Summary

A player's inventory is divided into 6 sections: exosuit, multi-tool, starship, exocraft, storage container, and freighter. As of Atlas Rises, there are now three types of inventory slot: General, Cargo, and Technology.

Exosuit

The base Exosuit has 12 General Inventory Slots, 4 Technology Inventory Slots and 2 Cargo Inventory Slots available. Additional slots can be unlocked by interacting with suit upgrade terminals in Drop Pods and Space Stations.

General Inventory

This begins with 12 slots installed, and can allow you to carry a stack of up to 9999 (normal) or 250 (survival) resources, or 1 item, each. The maximum number of inventory slots for this category is 48 spaces (6x8). The first upgrade is free and subsequent upgrades increase cost by an additional 10,000 units per upgrade. (i.e., Free, 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, etc) (No prompt to upgrade the Exosuit is shown after the 48th slot. [Needs confirmation])

The total amount of units needed to gain the maximum number of General Inventory slots is 6,300,000 units.

Technology Inventory

This begins with 4 slots installed, which can only be used to install technology. The maximum number of inventory slots for this category is 14 spaces (2x7). They are the cheapest slots to purchase. The first upgrade costs 1,000 units with varying costs for subsequent upgrades.

The total amount needed to gain the maximum number of Technology Inventory slots is 755,000 units.

Cargo Inventory

Cargo inventory begins with 2 slots installed, and can allow you to stack up to 9999 (normal) or 500 (survival) resources, or 5 items, each. The maximum number of inventory slots for this category was 25 spaces, but the Next update has increased this to 48. They are the most expensive to purchase. The first upgrade costs 50,000 units and subsequent upgrades increase cost by an additional 50,000 units per upgrade, until the 20th slot, where the price is capped at 1.000.000 units for the remaining upgrades. (i.e., 50,000, 100,000, 150,000, 200,000, etc)

The total amount of units needed to gain the maximum number of Cargo Inventory slots is 38,500,000 units.

Multi-tool

The base multi-tool has five (5) inventory slots. The maximum inventory slots for a multi-tool is 24 (8x3). Players can exchange their multi-tool for other versions to get additional slots. Multi-tools with upgraded inventories can be found in outposts (planetary bases with Landing Pads), space anomalies, and randomly as rewards from successfully completing events.

Starship

NmsShip InventoryPanel

Inventory page for a ship with 27 slots

The starting starship has 15 inventory slots. Claiming and switching to a pre-order ship, Alpha Vector or Horizon Omega, gives one additional slot, for a total of 16. The maximum inventory slots for a ship is 48 (8x6). Additional slots can be added to an owned ship by using the terminal next to the appearance modifier in most space stations.

If the player desires to buy a ship, they have the possibility to gain a one that has much more inventory slots and better tech, but the unit cost for this method is very high. It ranges from around ~ 1 million (for ~ 18 inventory slots) to 126 million units (for a ship with 48 inventory slots).

Exocraft

Each of the four Exocraft has its own inventory.

Base containers

Up to 10 storage containers may be constructed at your base, or on your freighter. Each one contains twenty high capacity slots, each capable of storing 9999 (normal), or 1000(survival) resources, or 10 stacking items.

Freighter

Freighters may also be purchased to expand your storage capabilities.

Mechanics

NmsInventory Transfer

Transfer Items panel

You can move items from your Exosuit to your Freighter and vice versa without a distance limit, but only when a Matter Beam is installed. Without one, you must be aboard your Freighter to move an item between Freighter and your Exosuit or Starship. On the contrary, moving an item to or from your Ship and Exosuit is limited to 25-seconds walking distance between you and your ship (walls do not block the limit).

Elements can stack up to 9999 in each of the slots in the Exosuit General inventory in Normal mode, and 250 per slot in other modes.

Elements can stack up to 9999 in any inventory in Normal mode, and 500 in each of the slots in the Exosuit Cargo inventory, Ship inventory, up to 1000 in the Freighter inventory or in a Storage Container inventory in other modes. A player may also transfer inventory to another member of their Multiplayer team. When the Transfer Items panel is displayed, the names of the other players in the group are included for selection if desired.
