Can you place items in your ship?

[BeeKing]

Was wondering, can we place items we find like plants or toys in the ship? Can we place them instead of only dropping stuff?

yeah you can, near your cockpit you will find a store bin you can put stuff in

that is separate than the cargo hold...that's the captains stash

Allright, too bad tho

However, every time you modify any part of your ship, everything will go in the cargo hold, and if this overflows, you won't be able to put ANYTHING in the cargo hold until you fix it.

So if you're looking at building a ship with a lot of storage space outside the hold (eg armory, galley, workshop stuff) be advised ALL THAT will go crashing into your cargo bay if you so much as add a support strut.

I was watching some gameplay and the guy stole a enemy ship which automatically changes it to his home ship and when he switched his home ship back I think his armoury reset

I've found when I throw stuff on the ground, and then leave my ship for a few in-game hours and come back. My companions on the ship will actually place those items onto shelves and tables lol.

I've found this only counts for stuff that actually applies as decorative furniture, earth relics, plant pots, cups, food, and cute stuff like stuffed toys.

I might be seeing things but I'm positive my shelves were empty after I created my ship, and then found a lot of random useless items moved and placed in neat positions. I do hope this is the case because it really makes things cozy.

At least one thing seems to be totally annoying though.

Say I pickup identical 6 dinner plates somewhere to my inventory and want to place them in my house/ship. If I drop 6 dinner plates from my inventory, I don't see 6 dinner plates ejected from my inventory - I see one physical dinner plate with a "(6)" on it. To get them individually, I need to pick up all 6.. and drop a plate, leave inventory and repeat 5 more times.

Would also sort of prefer that when I drop inventory, it just drops and doesn't get "ejected" into the air and flip all around - i mean if the items had sort of a natural "bottom" when dropping from inventory.

Unfortunately whenever you use the ship builder to modify your ship, any loose items anywhere get packed up and put into the storage bin (even if you didn't modify that particular module). There's also not a lot of placement control over placing items; it would be nice if that worked more like the outpost builder.

It dumps the captain storage as well.

This. It was heartbreaking when I spent 2 hours decorating for this to happen

Is there anyway to this from happening

nope

No, you can't. Only dropping + there's invisible walls + items will randomly move around + if you change ship at any point ALL items will be out into cargo hold. Terrible system.

Actually you can, when you drop it, you can move it around and place it wherever you want, however you want. It will stay there until you change ships or edit your ship.

There is a mod on nexus that adds full customisation, use that

[Ellis_Cake]

Just be careful,
Starfield has insane object permanence,
it will also keep track of items youve placed like in a room on neon,
aswell as in outposts and on the ship.

What is unclear tho is how large we can grow our savefiles before they corrupt/impossible to load.
