I love having 10 different versions of the same item

[IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII]

God it's so amazing that every time I do anything I get a small version, a medium version, a large version and an extra large version, especially when I need to collect 4-6 of each of the versions to even be able to craft anything with it.

I'm so glad they added these into the game, because having so many different versions of them does not limit my storage or inventory capacity at all since those are infinite.

My only complaint is that there are not enough items that come in S, M, L and XL versions. If anything, I would want there to be XS, XXS, XXL and XXXL versions of them as well, and to create more items that have these versions, because it would really help me enjoy the game more.

Could be worse. At least there is just one grade of wood and stone. You are talking about the crafted items that have multiple versions, like spheres and souls (yes you can craft those). Some games have multiple version of both wood and stone too and everything you can harvest. This game is somewhere in the middle between ridiculously complicated and dead simple. A good place to be I think,

That said, they added more items with the Sakurajima Update. To keep things balanced, they should have added another row to our inventories and also to the large storage.

Wouldn't mind a larger inventory either, or perhaps a means to upgrade it which would probably be better.

Personally glad to see they added things like mines for Ore and Coal etc, certainly better than having to manage several bases all over the map to farm specific resources.

Yeah by late game I'm holding onto multiple accessories like the IV glasses and stuff.. I do my best to dump spheres, but man this game needs some inventory management.

Let me do it like Baldurs Gate 3 and have storage boxes within storage boxes. We're already dealing with a magical tablet so it can be folder structures, idk idc let me hold more.. q.q there's already enough for a solo player to manage.

I have zero storage problems. Two boxes for skill fruits, two for blueprints, one for ammo and guns, one for clothes and accessories, one for materials and one for extra random crafting stuff. That's 8 boxes in total that I have in one 2x2 room at my main base. All of them are half empty apart from the skill fruit boxes.

The clothes box isn't really even necessary because you're never going to go back and wear early game clothes. I just keep them as a backup in case i die so I have something to wear when I go get my stuff.

What are you doing that doesn't flood your inventory with irrelevant spheres, random seeds, meat, dog coins, coins, keys, and scrolls?

idk about you but when I go cut a tree, I grab the nearby loot pile because why wouldn't you?

Circuit Board x 2
Coarse Ammo x 4
Your inventory is full

I proceed to eat 3 random foods like mushrooms and berries

Catch a pal

Leather x 1

Are you mad about small, medium and large pal souls? I'm sorry but not sorry.

Souls, training manuals, 3 different sizes of 7 types of lotus flower, a dozen different precious items, 4 rarity tiers of a dozen different blueprints... just off the top of my head.
Edit: 3 different levels of accessories, 4 types of raid boss fragments that I never plan on using beyond for achievement reasons because the raid bosses are terrible

Increase your weight with stat points? I don't really understand what you mean by "loot pile" items in your base? Items dropped from enemy Pals? If it's the former, get more transport pals and stop picking items up. If it's the latter I have never had my inventory full from Pal dropped items...

The irrelevant spheres, seeds and other stuff I don't want? Discard it...

[Shrub]

The only stat-point I invest in is weight, you're missing the point if that is your focus.

Maybe our playstyle is different? I mass-catch pals for experience, the way the game heavily pushes you through the narrative, and every pal drops an item.

Wood, stone, ore, flowers, bones, horns, SPHERES, AMMO, ICE/FIRE/ELECTRIC ORGANS, MEAT PER PAL, these are just some of the items that can flood your inventory by catching pals. But I'm not going to waste my time seperating my pal-catching mission with the need for loot and expanding the industry so of course throw in what more realistically ends up as M/L/XL, a few skill fruits,

The point I'm trying to make is constantly having to discard items is a PITA and a QoL solution would be a blessing. You're talking to a speed-runner and glitch exploiter, weight and quite frankly this issue is not as big as I'm making it seem, it's just an annoyance like throwing an aggressive pal that immediately walks back to you. That frustration creates these posts from other players and I think that's validation enough for an improvement? (The latter point does have a post I'm referencing, I can dig it up if needed)

Maybe turn those terrible weight+ pals like Cativa/Wumpo into storage increasing pals which would make more sense. Give them their own inventory or something, anything to improve the late-game experience.

A way to upgrade the inventory, such as an accessory to give you additional tab of inventory space and increase your carry capacity would be nice.

I was thinking something like a backpack item that would go in the key items section like the lantern and all the Pal saddles.
Could have a couple of tiers for them, small to large that all add a few extra total slots.

You have access to fast travel spots all around the map, you should have more than 1 base, storage boxes are cheap to make. If you're spending hours without visiting your base, that's on you. As for the raid bosses, you best start breeding and getting ready for future raid bosses because this is the norm and the future of Palworld. It's one of those things where you can hate on it and avoid it but you're only going to hurt your own experience potential with this game. Don't you want stronger Pals?

Can someone tell me WTF the difference is between having Tin, Copper, Bronze, Iron, Mythril, and Unobtanium and having Small, Medium, Large, XL?

Why is one OK but the other not?

[Well Butter my Biscuit]

Once you get all the stuff to autofarm at your base, you stop picking up a lot of the junk and only focus farm. Work smarter, not harder. Those 5 wood won't help you, nor will those 2 pal fluids. Get a ranch and make use of them.

Rocks and trees are constantly being damaged by pals in combat and you are very likely to wander nearby the collateral damage and auto-pickup the items

You make it sound like we're loot-goblins but since players use other game-settings it might be worth mentioning that on normal you have to catch 12/12 of most of the pals in order to level. The consequence is you get a lot of items. Just scroll through your paldex and admire how unique each pal's loot table is. Go from Lamball to Pengullet alone and count how many unique items there are.

Let's go another step and make a case using my character. This is on a public server, I'm 49 and my 'Adventure Kit' looks like this:
Ultra Spheres | Legendary Spheres | Homeward Cloud | Assault Rifle Ammo | Rocket Ammo | Sphere Launcher | Gold Coins

I also removed other items I normally carry to help make this case like dog coins etc.

For this adventure we will start by catching Relaxorus Lux, hit Azurobe, then finish the adventure at Bushi. Random likely adventure trying to catch pals for experience while aiming for Ancient Parts that are time sensitive to exploit. We will be picking up treasure chests and scrap piles along the way, because that's what they're for.

The results? Server reset so I couldn't catch Azurobe and my inventory cluttered before I reached Bushi after a syndicate ambush filled my inventory. I think the immediate following event encapsulated my frustration well so I took a picture of the event:

Relevant to the conversation: All the items I collected from the pals. Please note the salvage pile I never managed to plunder.

By this point you begin consuming food and discarding junk, so its an easy fix. But there are plenty of wonderful solutions suggested already by people in this discussion, so hopefully the devs figure it out along the way. Until then...

Edit: fixed images
Also I remembered that since the stat potion update, all of those ribbuny items I used to discard now have precious value and must be kept for future use.
