Throughout your Palworld adventures, you’ll find various items and crafting materials. Your inventory can get filled up pretty quickly, which means you’ll have to head back to your base to unload. Otherwise, if you try to carry more than you’re allowed, your movement speed will decrease.
Thankfully, this problem has a simple solution: getting more storage.
Palworld Storage guide: How to store items and craft more storage
If you want to increase your carrying capacity in Palworld you need to increase your Weight stat when you level up. Otherwise, you will need to be conscious of your inventory and drop heavy items to keep yourself from being slowed down by too much weight, especially if you are concerned about re-speccing your character stats.
Dropping items is definitely not ideal, as just about everything you can find in Palworld has a use. To avoid unnecessary littering, you need to get used to traveling back to your base and dropping off your excess goodies in various storage units like chests that you can build. These can be locked with a password if you are playing online on a shared server too, so you can easily protect your rare items from being stolen even if you don’t keep them on your person.
How to unlock and craft a Chest in Palworld: Chest crafting recipe
A chest is one of the first items you unlock when learning how to build a base in Palworld. You unlock the recipe for it once your Player Level reaches level two and you only need a single Technology Point to gain access to it.
Chests don’t need to have a structure in place to craft them, so you can make them and set them anywhere on the ground in your base. They are also straightforward to craft. To craft a chest in Palworld, you’ll need:
- 15 Wood
- Five Stone
