What's the point of having maxxed out tech slots on your exosuit?

[Mrayse]

I have 40 tech slots on my exosuit and i am not 100% but i think i can get even more.
What is the point of that? Even with 40 slots, 10 of them are empty.
I have unlocked all the recipes i could from the Anomaly and i have S modules for everything.

Best guess, they will be adding things to fill it, or they are so sick if whiners complaining about inventory space they just gave everyone 2x what they need.

i think the new max of Tech slots is 60... i just counted mine and yeah, 60 is the number...

in my case, i have 11 unused ones but i could add 2 more radiation protections, jump boots, and maybe another shield protection... i might even be able to find more X-Class and/or Sentinel modifications i can add to it...

i just know that i'm glad they did increase the Tech slots... i was all full up with mostly all tech stuff in my inventory because there was no more room in my tech area... i only lost one item of tech, too... that was the S-Class Gravity Igniter, IIRC... apparently i had two of them and only one is allowed... this is in my 500+ hour save that i started with Expedition 2 (original)...

Do you have all of the possible Sentinel suit upgrades?

[Felis_Exploria]

Jet pack + 3 upgrades
Life support + 3 upgrades
Exosuit + 3 upgrades
3 cold upgrades
3 hot upgrades
3 toxic upgrades
3 radiation upgrades
3 sentinel upgrades
4 language translators
Personal refiner
Aerator + 3 underwater upgrades
2 anomaly jet pack upgrades


I know many of these are overkill, but that makes 38 potential used slots. I am sure I am missing something else, too. The screenshot shown by another poster shows how nearly all slots can be used. It is missing Artemis translator and refiner, too.

and that's not all of them... there's also:
the Rebreather
the Hazmat Glove
Star Seed
Remembrance
Sentinel mods

and maybe a few more...

EDIT: i forgot to add, with the Jetpack, not only 3 upgrades but also at least two mods... Jump Boots being one, Efficient Water Jets being another, and i think there might be one more but am not sure about that...

True. Thanks for the additions I missed.

I was addressing the OP, but your screenshot should help him get some ideas for what other tech he can add.

ok... cool...

i just wish those hazard mods that have to be filled would show their class... i don't remember if they did before 4.0 or not... i hate having to hover over them when i hit up a space station to find out what S-Class mods they have that i may want to get... especially to replace C, B, and A-Class ones with...

Personally, I use the extra space to organize my adjacency bonuses. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the screenshot, wkitty42. It helps understanding that 60 slots are not useless after all. (Not that I had opinions about that before...)

you're welcome... i have to work on my adjacency stuff a bit, too... i have good numbers, i think but i think the synergy could be better... like instead of doing rows like i show, maybe doing squares is better... i'm not sure and the random placement of the super slots can be a PITA to work with...

I managed to install 51 things but now there doesn't seem to be anything left to add. The last 9 tech slots are waiting for some future update. They might help if you are trying to arrange the OC slots to be on the things you want but no new items can be added without overloading something.
