Adjust carryweight of a storage box via console commands?

[Venture]

is anyone aware of any console commands to adjust carry weight of a storage chest? Building outposts is such a pain because I have to grab all the materials from 5 different storage chests, carry them around while overencumbered, then manualy put them back into each box, every single time I want to build something.

Since Starfield doesn't have an infinite capacity workbench (that shares inventory with the other workbenches) like fallout 4 did, it just makes the entire outpost system tedious.

Am I misssing something obvious?

Use the "Storage - Solid/Gas/Liquid" containers under the Storage category in base building for storing raw materials. Resources will automatically pull from them when building/researching/crafting at that outpost.

What is obvious is that Todd Howard is really poor at game design. Simple quality of life features like "Sort by weight" have to be modded in. Eating food for health can't be hot barred or made simple because he has never been good at inventory management. You can't easily switch out of your air suit when you enter a civilized area and nobody seems to care that you are walking around like an idiot in public.

Probably, i was reading something last night about modifying ship carry weight.
For a storage box, try click it to get I.d, then it should be something like setav.carryweight xxxxx xxxxx play around with it and work it out. Imma jump on later and put a few modded chests in my house to make it a bit more user friendly

Not possible. You have to mod it.

Probably the easiest thing to do is use the crafting room in the basement of the Lodge. There is a storage container there that has infinite weight limit and all basic crafting stations are present. The storage container is a smallish orange storage box on the desk just behind the research station.

You still have to get the resources out and put them back in but the over-encumbrance has minimal effect because all the crafting stations are so close. It's also easy to fast travel to the Lodge.

Nexusmods - Cargo and Storage Max. Works great.

yes 100% there is.

first same as always click on the thing you want to edit
if you allready know its max storage you can use "getav CarryWeight"
to see if you have the right one selected and once you do
just use "setav CarryWeight" and set it to 0 and now you have a infinite storage on you base

set and getav does not work on containers. Since containers are not actors. Actors can be containers though. "Set Actor Value", "Get Actor Value". That's what those variables do. The amount of inventory weight a non actor based container has is preset, and can be edited with tools or already available .ini/convar settings.

I guess they changed how storage acts then because i did this not even 5 mins ago and it still works

Only need to select the conteneur and use this command line : setav carryweight 1000

Ditto. It works. My only complaint is that I cannot manipulate the entire inventory of a connected storage chain. When I want to "store" something I must find the box with empty space even when boxes are directionally linked. Same complaint on retrieval.

Wrong.

To expand on this you can make variants of the containers; small. medium and large. Plus if you put in a landing pad you can pull from your ships cargo as well.

To set the maximum weight of a container try using
ForceAV carryweight 0
you will need to make sure that the id shown is the container and not one of the other ids now used for objects. I've used this on chests, but haven't used it on resource containers for outposts.
