Increase carry weight.
Im playing survival and have in the game settings 10x for inventory. Is there a way to increase it past that but console commands or a mod. I could not find a single mod that did that.

I dont want to go to creative mode. I just want to carry more.

Dam you need more than 10x? Not judging but build a cargo container or something. Welding ship.

The amount you can carry isn't limited by weight. It's limited by volume.

That having been said, if you're finding 10x isn't enough and you can't build a ship suitable for the purpose, you can manually edit the multiplier within the save. Open the Sandbox.sbc file found in the corresponding directory within %appdata%\SpaceEngineers\Saves\<Your Steam ID> and scroll down or search until you find the line which specifies InventorySizeMultiplier. Change the number to whatever you please.

A mod could also do it by adjusting the default Engineer's carrying capacity, or creating a high-capacity Engineer. This would involve editing the Characters.sbc file and changing the value of InventoryVolume.

For all the inefficiencies involved in using standard XML to save/store data, it does make manual edits much easier.

Thanks for the help. I did the first option about changing it in the saved file.

I posted about this recently too.
Same feedback, even the volume comment. XD

I get that the inventory size feels super, Super small!
Glad you found a fix that works for you.
I use the nanite mod. It works, technically, but it's slow and glitches when updates release.
