Starfield: How To Increase Carry Weight & Cargo Size

gameranx.com:

At the start of Starfield, you’ll quickly become encumbered by the generous amount of stuff enemies drop. You’ll want to carry extra space suits, weapons, resources and other miscellaneous items in your inventory — and even with an entire spaceship with its own cargo hold, that can fill up very fast. To help you keep your stuff, we’ll explain how to increase your personal carry weight limit and how to add more cargo containers to your spaceship. Carry all the stuff you need and become an ultimate cargo hauler.

Carry Weight is extremely limited early in Starfield — and even your cargo space isn’t infinite. If you want to carry more stuff and not trudge around with a very limited inventory, you’ll need to increase your carrying capacity.

Every item in your inventory has a Mass rating. Mass is the ‘Weight’ of Starfield — you’ll start with a Mass carrying capacity of about 135. That will fill extremely fast if you collect resources, ship parts, and other valuable cargo. If you do collect cargo on foot, make sure to add it to your Ship Cargo ASAP.

Unloading resources is critical to saving on inventory space. You’ll also want to sell extra items. For anything you want to keep, instead of placing in the Ship Inventory, place it in the Captain’s Locker.

Don’t worry about collecting Ammo, Cash or Med Packs. These all have 0.00 Mass so you can carry an infinite supply without weighing your character down. Grab all the ammo you find and don’t worry about sorting or storing it. You can carry as much as you want without encumbering yourself.

Carry Weight is determined by the Weight Lifting skill and is one of the most important skills to get early in the game.
