This article is about current version of this article. For the Outlaws version, see Inventory (Outlaws). |
Inventory is a general term for items that can be carried or stored by a player.
Summary[ | ]
A player's inventory is divided into six sections: exosuit, multi-tool, starship, exocraft, storage container, and freighter.
There are two types of inventory slot: Cargo and Technology.
Inventory Slots[ | ]
Cargo[ | ]
Cargo slots are used for storing items, and cannot have technologies installed into them. They can hold any of the following stacks:
- up to 9999 (Normal or Creative modes, the same as general inventory slots), or up to 500 (Survival or Permadeath modes) of any basic resource
- up to 200 supply items, including Ion Batteries, Life Support Gels and Creature Pellets
- up to 100 items of all food items and Starshield Batteries
- up to 50 items of Glass, all trade goods, certain curiosities and Emergency Signal Scanners
- up to 40 tiny items, including Navigation Data
- up to 30 small items, including Salvaged Data
- up to 20 medium items, including Metal Plating, Di-hydrogen Jelly and Antimatter
- up to 10 large items, including uninstalled Upgrade Modules and all manufactured trade goods
- A single item, mostly Artifacts and archived Upgrade Modules
Technology[ | ]
Technology slots are, as the name implies, limited to containing installed technology; they cannot hold any other items. Specifically, they can hold any of the following:
- A single installed Technology
- A single installed Upgrade Module
Note that technology slots cannot store uninstalled upgrade modules.
Exosuit[ | ]
The base Exosuit has 24 Cargo Inventory Slots and 10 Technology Inventory Slots available. Additional slots can be unlocked by interacting with suit upgrade terminals in Drop Pods and Space Stations.
Cargo Inventory[ | ]
This inventory begins with 24 Cargo slots installed. The maximum number of inventory slots for this category is 120 (12x10). The first upgrade costs 5,000 units with varying costs for subsequent upgrades. The price is capped at 200,000 units.
The total amount of units needed to gain the maximum number of Cargo Inventory slots is 36,750,000 units.
Technology Inventory[ | ]
This inventory begins with 10 Technology slots installed. The maximum number of inventory slots for this category is 60 (6x10). They are the cheapest slots to purchase. The first upgrade costs 1,000 units with varying costs for subsequent upgrades. The price is capped at 125,000 units.
The total amount needed to gain the maximum number of Technology Inventory slots is 1,456,000 units.
Upgrade costs[ | ]
The cost of upgrading all Exosuit inventories comes to a total of 40,971,000 units. Please see chart below for cost per inventory upgrade. (note: check for post-Waypoint)

Multi-tool[ | ]
The starting multi-tool has eight (8) inventory slots. The maximum number of inventory slots for a multi-tool is 60 (10x6). 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. Additionally, players can add slots to existing multi-tools at Multi-Tool Upgrade Stations present on every space station using 
(starting at 100,000) or Multi-Tool Expansion Slots.
All multi-tools have technology slots only; it is not possible to store items in a multi-tool.
Starship[ | ]
Inventory page for the starter ship (Radiant Pillar BC1) post-Waypoint
Since the Waypoint update, the starting starship, Radiant Pillar BC1, has 25 cargo inventory slots and 13 technology slots. The pre-order starship, Horizon Omega, has 16 cargo inventory slots and 21 technology slots. (note: possibly unintentional, check number of cargo and tech slots for Horizon Omega as of most recent update)
- The maximum number of cargo and technology slots for a starship depends on its class and type.
- Each type of S-class ship can be upgraded to, in ascending order:
- Fighter: 100 cargo slots (10x10)
- Exotic: 105 cargo slots (10x10 + 5)
- Shuttle, Explorer, Solar: 110 cargo slots (10x11)
- Hauler, Living Ship, Salvaged: 120 cargo slots (10x12)
- Any S-class ship can be upgraded to have 60 technology slots (10x6).
Additional slots can be added to a ship by:
- Purchasing slots using units from the Starship Outfitting Terminal, next to the Appearance Modifier in most space stations.
- Storage Augmentation curiosity for a single-slot expansion.
Otherwise, a player may purchase a different starship with more initial inventory slots; this may be cheaper than buying inventory slots.
Buying Ship Inventory Slots[ | ]
If you have a ship with 25 cargo slots and 13 tech slots, the total number of slots is 38. The next slot would cost 7M, and the next after 8M. The cost for a new slot increases rapidly after slot 56, until a cap of 75M at slot 66+.

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 50 Cargo slots, each capable of storing 9999 (normal), or 1000 (survival) resources, or twice as many items of a given size (e.g. 60 small items instead of 30). These inventory slots are shared with like-numbered storage containers in other bases or on a freighter.
Freighter[ | ]
Freighters may also be purchased to expand your storage capabilities.
Mechanics[ | ]
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.
