Can you increase inventory size in Schedule 1?

Big limitation

Inventory size is an area of concern in Schedule 1, and the lack of space becomes a big problem as you approach the endgame.

Once you start to unlock the advanced recipes, workstations, and more, you’ll run out of space pretty quickly. The absence of some sort of backpack makes things harder, but there are simple tricks to manage your inventory limitation in the game.

Schedule 1 doesn’t allow you to increase inventory

There’s no known way to expand the default inventory in the base game. The only available option is the hot bar. We get eight slots, and items like skateboards take some of them up. This further reduces the number of items you can carry at a given time.

The presence of a backpack-like system would have made it easier to carry more items, but that’s not the case. We might get something in the future, as the game’s official Trello board has plenty of planned updates.

While you can’t increase the inventory size, there are a couple of tricks that will allow you to carry more items together.

How to carry more items in Schedule 1?

The first thing you’ll need is a cabinet. You get one for free when you start the game, but there are better options available in the store. You can buy as many as you want from Dan’s Hardware, and the best variant allows you four extra slots. From ingredients to final products, you can place anything you want in the cabinets.

Another trick is to buy a car, which can be done at Hyland Auto. The basic version is available for a low price, and they offer additional inventory space. Getting a car is perfect if you’re going to town to get new items. You can place them in the car, which will allow you to carry more items together. This workaround allows me to reduce at least one additional trip to the town. You should get a car as soon as Hyland Auto gets unlocked. Hopefully, we end up getting a backpack in the future as part of an update.
