Stash box is so small

[Zeoplez]

800 weight is a struggle to micro manage at level >20, I don't want to even imagine what it's like at level 50+. How do you people manage with only 800 weight with the stash box. I feel like it should have 1600 or 2000+

[No mic]

You manage it like this guy https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QNDCmTj660OBz16eo4dpixC0k7SnwEUvoFpOuVe7M0o/edit#gid=0

You have 5 characters slots, use it.

Common problem #1 or 2 but the easiest is to make sure any ammo you are not using is taken out. The next would be steel or wood, both common as air itself. Also do not hoard any weapons or mods you do not want to use and keep your chems and food to minimum like 5-10.

Any other questions let me know.

You have to break your old hoarding tendencies. Turn excessive junk into bulk and sell it. Discard ammo you're not going to use in the short term. Missiles and mini-nukes have to go, they weigh too much.

Just throw away any and all stuff you don't use or need. High level players like me only collect legendary/unique weapons and items and scrap or throw away what we don't need. I don't use drugs in Fallout 76 for example, so I throw them away. I used to have a truck load of purified water that I used to sell, until I found uses for them: making vegetable starch to scrap for adhesive and diluted stimpaks at a chem station. I also avoid putting explosive ammo in the stash. They are very heavy in large numbers.

Thanks for the suggestions. Also a friend told me about storing power armor pieces on other chassis so it weighs less which will help.

Most definitely you should never store unframed PA pieces in your stash or inventory.

They should give everyone the scrapbox

Some folks dont *break down* the items that don't get automatic scrapped, like deathclaw hand is 5 pounds but if you break it down it just gives ya some bone thats 0.010 weight i think take everything out of your junk part and make sure its all 100% broken down

I've touted this before but it's easy to get into the wrong mindset after playing FO4 or Modded FO3 or FONV to hoard every little thing for building/Mods.

• Every workbench everywhere is pretty much sharing what's in your inventory and your stash. Finding a workbench, chembench or tinker bench while in an area is a godsend as you can break down a lot of crap into smaller, Less weighty forms.
  
  
• You don't really need piles in excess of 50 for most tasks you'll do while at base (Repairing your gear, Making new gear or meds etc.) So bulk up whatever you can over that limit and sell or trade it. Steel, Wood, Leather and the like is stupid easy to find just looting gear off most dead Scorched since that's a majority of what you'll run into. Anything you have particular trouble finding, Mark for search. Knowing what you actually could use and what will end up just cluttering your stash helps a good deal towards managing it.
  
  
• Stick to a handful of weapons you like and use for your playstyle(s). You might run across some new shiny weapon you can't use yet but guaranteed by the time you're at the level you can use it, You'll already have a dozen more or even the schematics to build the thing yourself at whatever level you like.

This works for me, Leaving me plenty of space to run four vendors and a museum.

Good tip, noticed this with mole rat teeth

Just put a full set of T-51b onto my empty power armor frame. Freed up a ton of weight.

its called inventory management, and its pretty doable, im at lvl 59 and have 700 used of 800, always bulk and sell excessive materials, dont store purified water or use it to craft vegetable starch, dont store heavy weapons or explosive ammo, dont store armor that you arent going to use, chems can take alot of space so be very careful if you store any (i dont), dont store food, specially if it decays, also dont store tons of weapons, they can take a huge amount of space, specially when modded

[Amanandhisdog]

im over level 150 and have no problems with the stash. you dotn need half the stuff you think you do. and the stash dosent need to get bigger.
thats what the item and caps sellers keep pushing. its fine learn how to manage it like you do all the other survival metrics.

[Chaython]

Ya its way to small, I spent more time overencumbered/micro managing than really playing

It is so silly, stash boxes should be around several thousands. It makes it almost impossible to be a player vendor. There are perks that allow you to save space, on your own character for ex. Perk cards that reduce ammo, chem weight etc. So I literally carry all my ammo, (around 10K minimum) on me. I find it this is the only way to play the game as if it was normal lol

Only cool clothes, hats, legendary armor and guns, take up spacein my stash.. about 100-200 for the junk as well.

i fill 4 vending machines full packed and have enough junk to repair my gear or make extra ammo. this isnt a single player game it isnt a super hero story. its a online fallout sandbox...
once people wrap their minds around these facts... systems and mechanics are not an issue as they are needed for the game play for everyone in the sandbox.

players who have managed this impossible stash for over 500 levels lol at the complaints about 800 stash. before the new wave of players hit the servers we had a 400 stash to manage.
and NO player vending, the vending bots had only 200 caps each and you needed to travel around the map to visit them. no one stop whitesprings for all the plans, no 1400 caps at every vendor making it super easy to spawn in and max your daily caps. had to figure out the cheapest fast travel routes and spend as little caps along the way.

get over the stash. thousands of players managed fine with half what you all got and with out the easy caps daily that the game has in it now...

manage the stash by crafting as much as possible to then scrap and learn plans.
or sell the bunch of low level weapons and armors youve crafted to a handy vendor bot...
youll honestly eventually look back and wonder why you ever worried about the stash as youre trying to collect other things that are worth more and come up less than screws and glue.
