Storage vault question

[Rillruin]

Trying to understand how the vaults work...

I built 4 storage vaults at my base. Loaded them with stuff. Then I built 3 on the freighter.


Immediately after each of the 3 vaults were built...
#1 had the exact same contents as #1 at my base.
#2 and #3 had nothing (even though base vaults were full)

Are they supposed to contain the same contents or not??? They don't appear to be consistent so I'm puzzled. Figure either the contents should match and #2/#3 are bugged, or the contents shouldn't be matched and #1 is bugged...

[Pul Myfinger]

I don't know why #2 & #3 had nothing; perhaps restart the game.

Your #1 shows how they are supposed to work. Personally, any time I build a planetside mini-farm or outpost, I put my #1 Vault down. Easy to transfer materials between farms and freighter. I keep #1 supplied w building materials, etc and store my harvests for selling once back on my freighter. Your other Vaults should work the same between the same numbers.

[Mr. Bufferlow]

You have one set of vaults, and each instance of a vault built will show those contents.

[Nswr42]

each container or storage room you build is just a terminal allowing you acces to 1 of 10 additional 5 slot storage compartments. you can have multiple terminals for 1 compartment.

but you can only build one terminal for that compartment in each of your bases and freighter.

you can put stuff into compartments from whereever you are. but you can transfer items out freely only when in your planet base. enter inventory press X select container icon and choose what and how much you want to transfer to your inventory.

on freighter you must directly acces compartment terminal to move items to or from it. i think it's a bug.

Thanks. That's what I figured should happen. I did add items to the 2 freighter vaults and they are different then the ones on my base. I also added more vaults to both the base and freighter.

#1, #4 and #5 are all matching. #2 and #3 don't match. I's weird, #1, #2, #3 were all built at the same time...

I'm also getting an issue where I can refuel items with stuff in my exocraft even though its not even on the same planet. Once I refueled with pyrite which I don't even own in any storage or vault anywhere. Maybe it came from my co-op partners inventory though for some reason. Co-op seams buggy. We often have to switch who loads and who joins to get past various issues.

Game saves..

SP, 2 saves, yours and his. (solo)
MP, 2 saves, You as Host, Him as host.

Solo ones tricky to "catch up" to hosting saves. Can leave one stranded w/o other online.

A follow on question. The maximum storage you can ever have is 10 vaults, and then all the slots in your suit, freighter, ship, etc. Nothing else, right?

My vaults are already maxed out and the game keeps adding new elements and items. They are going to need to increase storage limits if they keep adding things.

Or is there a way to store more?

The idea is to use the items, not just store them forever..

YOu can add mega storage to your freighter by finding some 48 slot haulers and parking them in the hanger for the additional storage.

Maximum possible storage in-game is currently:

1 x 48 slot x 250 inventory
1 x 48 slot x 500 cargo inventory
10 x 5 x 1000 container storage
1 x 34 x 1000 freighter storage
6 x 40-ish x 500 free ship slots on 6 x summon-able ships (6 x 48 slot haulers less a few tech modules)
???? x exocraft inventories accessible via freighter inventory (could not be bothered counting them up, but around 60 slots total)

ALSO:
unlimited x 3 x 250 slots in large refiners

You save then until you need them. Often a mission requires an object, and I assume HG put the items in the game because at some point you'll need them. You play your way, I'll play mine, OK?

Thanks. My freighter must be a smaller one, because I don't have that much space. time to go freighter shopping.

The problem is the SLOTS. They keep adding these odd one-off items that I assume you need at some point, but it sounds like the typical practical number of slots is around 200 (unless you use every ship you have, and do an incessant amount of flying back and forth.) The thing is, the number of items in the game is probably over 200 at this point. Sure, you don't need one of everything, but if they keep adding items they will need to increase vault storage.

I don't think you can create more storage slots with a save editor.

Try it. Worked for me.
It's the 'Resize Inventory' button then 'Enable' the slots.
Also change stack size.
'Resize' doesn't work on Vehicles

EDIT :: I don't think it works on the ExoSuit Tech slots. I think that number is hard-coded
EDIT :: DO A BACKUP FIRST !

Will it work on vaults / containers????

Just go try it.

edit: you'll be glad you did ;-)
