Types of Inventory Items

Inventory Management

Ship Cargo Hold

Your ship is equipped with a Cargo Hold that you can use to store excess items. The cargo hold is accessible several ways:

  • While inside your ship, by opening your inventory menu and PRESSING LB (Xbox)/Q Key (PC).
  • Selecting Cargo from your ship menu while on or near your ship.
  • Activating the Cargo panel from your ship’s cockpit.

TIP

It’s a good idea to store heavy crafting materials and resources in your ship’s cargo. Typically the Cargo Hold is located near the cockpit, but depending on your ship design, it may be located in other areas of the ship.

Companion Inventory

  • You can offload excess items to a Companion. Be aware that crafting stations will not pull from your companion’s inventory.
  • You can transfer items to your companions by talking to them and selecting the option "Let's trade gear."

  • Each companion has their own mass capacity and you will get a message when they can't hold anymore.
    • You can see this on your companions inventory screen. In this example, the "Adoring Fan" can hold up to 165 mass.

Favorites List

Weapons and Aid items can be assigned to your Favorites List from your inventory. Favorite items are quickly accessible by [D-PAD] on Xbox Controller or [Q] on Keyboard. This will give you easy access to all the items that you often use in-game.

  • Keep an eye on what pack you have equipped as some have higher capacity than others.
  • When you visit a Spacesuit Workbench, you can upgrade your packs and spacesuits with “Extra Capacity.”
    • If you do not have the materials to upgrade your pack, don’t forget to hit the option to track items!

Inventory Order and Symbols

You can check the mass that your character can hold from your character menu or inventory. The number will change depending on how many skill points you have used on the Physical SkillWeight Lifting”. When your character exceeds mass limit, you will become overcumbered and will receive the following notification on the top right corner of your screen:

If you continue running while overcumbered, you will receive the following notification:

If you receive any of these notifications, you can fix it by dropping some items from your inventory or you can transfer items to your companion, outpost or ship.

Here are some tips that can facilitate your search while in your character's inventory:

Sort Order

You can sort your inventory by Name, Value or Weight from the inventory screen. Use this function when you are trying to sell items to vendors, want to drop heavy items, or locate certain item types that weight a specific amount.

To sort from your inventory, select the corresponding button on keyboard/controller to sort your inventory.
