Storage Unit Room Requirements

In No Man's Sky, players can use storage units to store resources and products beyond the capacity of a starship or exosuit inventory. Each storage unit can be built once per base and will access the same items as other storage units with the same number. There are 50 slots in each container and a maximum of 10 different containers can be built. These storage units are labelled 0 through 9 and each container can hold 20 stacks, with each stack holding 9999 units of a specific resource.

Storage Containers can be built using a blueprint and ingredients

Storage Containers in No Man's Sky can be built using a blueprint and ingredients. Up to ten containers may be built, labelled 0 through 9, and each container can hold fifty stacks. Each stack will hold 9999 units of a specific resource, or 20 of certain special items that usually hold 10 per stack, such as Vortex Cubes.

Storage Container 0's blueprint is the first blueprint uncovered by the Base Computer after the player reaches a certain point in the Artemis Path and begins the Base Computer Archives quest. The blueprints for storage containers 1-9 are given by the Overseer early on in the advanced base-building quest.

Storage Container 0's blueprint can also be acquired by deleting all bases and constructing a new one to restart the Base Computer Archives quest.

Storage Containers can be built using the following ingredients:

• 35 x Magnetised Ferrite
• 20 x Sodium

Each container can be coloured and renamed to provide additional visual clues as to their contents. Each number can only be used once per base, and instances of the same container share their contents with their associated number. For example, items stored in container 1 in one base will be accessible in container 1 in another base.

Each storage container has 50 slots

Storage Containers in No Man's Sky are used to provide additional storage space for resources and products beyond what is available in a starship or exosuit inventory. Each storage container has 50 slots, with each slot holding a maximum of 9999 units of a specific resource or 20 of certain special items. These slots generally have twice the capacity of "Cargo" inventory slots, allowing for greater flexibility in storing a variety of items.

The containers are numbered from 0-9 and can be coloured and renamed to provide visual clues about their contents. Each number can only be used once per base, and all instances of the same container share their contents. For example, if you have two containers labelled "1", they will share the same inventory. This feature can be especially useful for managing and organising your resources efficiently.

To build a storage container, you will need 35 Magnetised Ferrite and 20 Sodium. The blueprint for Storage Container 0 is obtained from the Base Computer after reaching a certain point in the Artemis Path and beginning the Base Computer Archives quest. Blueprints for containers 1-9 are given by the Overseer during the advanced base-building quest.

Storage containers can be accessed by physically interacting with them or by using the "quick transfer" key bind when hovering over an empty slot in the exosuit's inventory while near any Base Computer. It's important to note that items cannot be directed to a specific container when you are not near them.

While the current maximum number of containers is limited to 10, players have expressed a desire for more containers or expandable inventory within the existing containers. Some players have even resorted to using save editors to increase the number of slots or the capacity of each slot beyond the standard limit.

Up to 10 storage containers can be built

In No Man's Sky, players can build up to 10 storage containers to store resources and products that cannot be stored in a starship or exosuit inventory. Each storage container holds 50 stacks, with each stack holding up to 9999 units of a specific resource or 20 of certain special items like Vortex Cubes. These containers are numbered from 0 to 9 and can be coloured and renamed to provide visual clues about their contents.

Storage containers can be built using a blueprint, which can be obtained by progressing through the Artemis Path and the Base Computer Archives quest. The containers can be placed in various configurations, such as in hallways with T or X connectors, or in custom-built rooms. However, there are some restrictions on placement; for example, they cannot be placed right next to a room.

The storage containers are not individual units but rather access points to 10 shared storage containers. This means that each container with the same number in different bases will contain the same items. Additionally, if all containers with a specific number are deleted, the items inside can only be retrieved by rebuilding at least one instance of that container.

Players can move items between the exosuit, starship, and storage containers at any time. To access the contents of a storage container, players must either physically interact with it by facing the front of the container or use the "quick transfer" key bind when near a Base Computer.

Storage containers are numbered from 0-9

In No Man's Sky, storage containers are numbered from 0 to 9 to make them easier to identify. Each container can be coloured and renamed to provide additional visual clues as to their contents.

Each number can only be used once per base. Instances of the same container number share their contents with their associated number (1-1, 2-2, and so on). For example, if you build container 1 in multiple locations, container 1 will share the same resources across all locations.

Items can be moved from the exosuit's or starship's inventory to storage containers at any time. To retrieve items from a storage container, you must either physically interact with the container by facing the front of the container (the part that looks like a Galactic Trade Terminal) or press the "quick transfer" key bind when the cursor is hovering above an empty slot in the exosuit's inventory as long as the user is near any Base Computer.

When moving items to a storage container, there is no way to direct them to a specific container when not near them. If a stack (or more) already exists in one of the containers (provided there is enough space for the new item), the item(s) will be stacked automatically in their appropriate storage container. Otherwise, a new stack is created in one of the containers, if there is room.

If the container loses power, the items inside are not lost but cannot be retrieved by interacting with the container until the power is restored. However, they can still be retrieved from an unpowered container using an empty slot in the exosuit.

Storage containers can be coloured and renamed

In No Man's Sky, players can build a maximum of ten storage containers, labelled 0 through 9, to store resources and products beyond the capacity of a starship or exosuit inventory. Each storage container can hold fifty stacks of items, with each stack holding up to 9999 units of a specific resource or 20 of certain special items.

To rename a storage container, go to the storage container room in your freighter with your character. Interact with the storage container and look for the pencil icon in the upper right corner. You can then rename the container to anything you want. For example, you could rename it "SC#", with "#" being the original number given by the game, followed by a short descriptor. This way, you can keep the storage container names short and easy to scroll through while still providing a visual clue as to what is stored inside.

In addition to renaming, you can also colour-code your storage containers to indicate what is stored inside. For instance, you could use yellow for Solanium, blue for gases, and red for exotic items. This can be especially helpful if you have multiple containers with similar items or if you want to quickly identify a specific type of item without having to read through the container names or open each container to check its contents.

By utilising both the renaming and colouring features, you can create a well-organised storage system that makes it quick and easy to locate specific items in your inventory.
