</>What does Huge Backpack do?
Every terraformer knows the pain: you're halfway across the map, inventory full, and you just found the one resource you actually needed. Time to play "which of these do I care about least" for the 400th time. Backpack of Holding fixes this by letting you resize your inventory up to 250 slots. Set it to 40 for a modest upgrade, crank it to 100 for serious hoarding, or go full 250 and never worry about inventory space again. Fair warning — anything above 40 slots might overflow the inventory screen. Use the sort button to push your items to the top so you can actually see them. Or set it to 0 if you want the ultimate hardcore challenge: a terraformer with no pockets. Fun fact: At 250 slots, your astronaut is technically carrying more mass than most of the structures they're building.

Stop mid-run inventory triage forever, sort with one button, and finally finish a long expedition without leaving piles behind. Free from ProjectMods, the community-first game modding platform.
</>Common questions about Huge Backpack
What does Huge Backpack do in The Planet Crafter?
Huge Backpack is an inventory mod for The Planet Crafter from ProjectMods that lets you resize your backpack capacity to any value between zero and two hundred and fifty slots. The vanilla inventory caps out far smaller, which forces the familiar mid-run choice between Iridium chunks and Osmium nuggets when both spawn next to each other. Huge Backpack removes that triage. Set it to forty slots for a modest upgrade, one hundred for serious hoarding sessions, or all the way to two hundred and fifty for a single-trip planet sweep. The slot value can be adjusted between sessions via the option panel, so you choose how much storage you actually want on each save.
What does the Set Inventory Size option in Huge Backpack actually control?
Set Inventory Size in Huge Backpack for The Planet Crafter is the slider that decides exactly how many slots your backpack has. It is one number, applied to your character's main inventory, and persists with your save. Drop it to twenty for a hardcore minimalist run, hold it at the vanilla-like value for a comfortable feel, or push it toward two hundred and fifty for a true hauler build. Zero is also a valid setting — useful only if you want a self-imposed challenge where you cannot carry anything personally and must rely entirely on storage crates. ProjectMods exposed it as a number rather than tiered presets so every player picks their own pace.
What happens to my inventory display above 40 slots in Huge Backpack?
Huge Backpack in The Planet Crafter pushes your slot count beyond what the vanilla inventory screen was originally designed to render cleanly. Above roughly forty slots, items can visually overflow the inventory UI — they exist in the save, they count toward your total, and you can still access them, but rows may extend past the visible window. The fix is simple: hit the in-game sort button. Sorting pushes your items to the top of the grid so they land inside the visible portion of the panel. Most players settle on a size between forty and one hundred to keep the UI comfortable. ProjectMods left the cap high anyway for collectors who want it.
Can I set my backpack size to zero in Huge Backpack for a hardcore challenge?
Yes. Huge Backpack in The Planet Crafter accepts zero as a valid inventory size, which removes your personal carrying capacity entirely. You cannot pick up resources, cannot store crafted items on your character, and must rely on placed storage containers, drone hauling, or carrying one item at a time to the next crafting station. It is a deliberately punishing setting that some players love for second or third playthroughs — it forces you to design base layouts where every workstation has a storage chest next to it, which actually rewards thoughtful building. ProjectMods kept zero as an option specifically for challenge runs where the goal is friction, not convenience.
Why would a completionist player install Huge Backpack in The Planet Crafter?
Completionists in The Planet Crafter want every microchip variant, every blueprint, every rare ore sample, and at least one golden egg, all sorted and stored. The vanilla inventory makes that documentation pass painful because a single trip across the map can require six round-trips to deposit findings. Huge Backpack from ProjectMods compresses that into one or two trips. At one hundred or more slots, a completionist sweep through ore canyons and Wardens locations can fit into a single uninterrupted run. It pairs naturally with Long Arms for collecting from distance and with Zero-G for traversal. The community-first ProjectMods catalog is built around exactly these kinds of pacing fixes for second-playthrough players.
