Hi, whenever i try to make a huge ship, if i add more than 1.3 k storages number shows still 65535k slots (promethium ship ofc) .. is this real or just the number doesn't grow, but actual slots do if i add more storages...i cannot test this as im halfway i building the ship yet.
and, one more q:
is it a tremenduous loss in FPS / UPS if i use the holy "underground belts stacker" method?
Thx

The 65535 is a limitation of how this piece of the game was programmed. The developers chose to use a type variable for this number that has a maximum of 65535:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/65,535
You'll also see this limitation when you look at the total number of missing items needed for the bots to build stuff, too.

No, it maxes out at 65535 slots. You can build more cargo bays but it will not make the inventory bigger.

Shouldn't be.
