Space is a precious commodity in No Man's Sky. You have several inventories:

  • Exosuit Inventory: Your personal carrying capacity. Can be expanded at Space Stations or through Drop Pods.
  • Starship Inventory: Your ship's storage. Can be expanded by purchasing new ships or upgrading existing ones.
  • Freighter Inventory: Massive storage capacity on your capital ship.
  • Storage Containers: Base-building modules for static storage.

Prioritize upgrading your Exosuit inventory early on. Learn to stack resources (up to 9999 for most raw materials in general slots, 10000 in cargo slots) and transfer items between inventories efficiently. Don't hoard everything; sell excess resources at trade terminals or to NPCs.
