Space platform cargo limit

Post by Kolt93 »

Haven't found any info, but I can't increase cargo limit of my space platform above 65535. Additional cargo bays do nothing. Maybe there is a similar problem on planet surface, but I have not tested it.

That is an engine limitation that we do not want to be changing - inventories can have at most 65535 item stacks and that is the max allowed in any entity. Large inventories cause significant problems with performance and so we decided this is the reasonable upper limit of an inventory size. Cargo bays are still buildable to get more hatches to increase throughput if needed, but at some point their bonuses are ignored.
