You cannot as 50 is the max. regardless of strength.

Don't quote me on this but I'm pretty sure if you strip everything off your character, you can pickup any 1 thing? I know that it works like that for car seats so you can like, take a generator and stuff

That only applies for car seats. Even the heaviest item in the vanilla game is 40 encumbrance- So long as you're under 10 encumbrance yourself you can pick up any one item.

And to be clear here, The value is Encumbrance- Not weight. It's an amalgam of size/weight/shape/unwieldliness. So you can have a high encumbrance but low-weight item because it's an awkward shape and unwieldly to put in and out of your inventory; Or a low encumbrance but seemingly high weight item because it's an easy shape and is easy to manipulate.

And yes- 50 is max. There's cheat mods that get around this by setting the players current weight to like negative 1 million- But positive 50 is the limit, and I haven't seen a mod yet that can increase that.

If you're interested, there are a bunch of bag mods that help you carry super heavy stuff or large amounts of things. There are some pros and cons though, so use carefully. You can find them on the Workshop.

The only way to carry more items beyond the 50 encumbrance is via removing car parts. It'll bypass the limit and put the car part into your inventory regardless though you will not be able to pick up anything else and if you drop the item you cannot pick it back up

Sounds like a joke item from a mod meant to tease the player or to be an in-world flavor item that you aren't meant to interact with.. Or to be a moderator/admin weapon that isn't obtainable by normal players.

There's no item in vanilla that has over 40 encumbrance.

I made a guide, way back when.

Back then the game tracked your bag's content separetely from your inventory so you could load on lots of low weight and high yield bags (e.g. garbage bags) that you could then fill. It was not and never was about picking up something in your general inventory which is caped at 50.

I argued, then, that a buffer zone for unequiping stuff (as they benefit from a % decrease) would be OK. e.g. a Sledgehammer whic is 6, but decrease significantly when equiped. Where would be the fun of having your sledgie drop because you are over-limit?

My guess is that the product so far has removed the default fill 100+ bags with stuff, but also they kept the possibility to go slightly above the line. It's pretty much the essence of what I suggested so I'm happy with the end result.

Also, back then I could carry 2-3 fridges by having one in each hands and one in my pockets (i.e. the general inventory)... it was ludicrous and fixed.

My guess, since it is Mjonir, is that you can't (beside using devcommands).

you can also do it via a generator and water containers
