Essential to Expand Your Inventory

Upgrading your inventory capacity is essential as you advance through the story. Crafting advanced gear and building larger base structures later in the game requires tracking down and holding many more items, making early storage upgrades a priority.

Other Ways to Manage Inventory

Tadpole Offers Additional Inventory

The Tadpole offers storage on the go even with just its base model. Its storage spaces increases if you outfit it with the Haul Chassis. Great for when you are moving items between bases!

Storage Gets Destroyed with the Tadpole
However, since the Tadpole can lose power, be broken or even destroyed, it poses a risk for your items to be lost out at sea. Always bring a repair tool with you and whenever you venture out, to have a full battery.
Create Lockers in Bases

Another must-do for better inventory management is to have lockers in your bases. Instead of having all of your items in your person, you can drop off non-exploration essential items before going out to explore again.
