Storage

Storage commonly refers to containers in which items can be stored. The amount of item slots varies from container to container. Subnautica's storage system is unique in that it functions similar to a real container. All items in the game have a certain shape (all circles right now) that occupies a certain number of inventory slots. Small items like titanium and lithium occupy one slot, while large items like the SeaGlide need 9 slots reserved in the form of a square.

In the beginning, the player only has their own inventory, which can be accessed by using the PDA, and the storage inside the Escape Pod and the Fragment Analyzer available. As the player progresses in the game, items can also be stored inside of various other containers.
