The Inventory is where engineers store items and equip equipment and consumables. Its size can be upgraded with various milestones and research. The starting size is 18 slots, and the current maximum size is 81 slots. There is also a trash slot that will destroy any items dragged into it, except for certain items such as Uranium Waste.
