No Man's Sky: How to expand your inventory

You can get inventory upgrades in the jump capsule. To find them, you must first activate a signal scanner.

1. With 10 plutonium and 10 irons you can build a bridging chip. You need this to activate a signal scanner.
2. Now you can start looking for a signal scanner. You can usually find them near a base or outpost.
3. With the bypass chip, you can now activate the signal scanner. It gives you the choice between 4 signals. To expand your inventory, you need to select "Hideout".
4. Now follow the signal to the jump capsule.
5. Once there, you can collect the blue hologram. This will add another slot to your inventory.
6. The first inventory upgrade is free. From the second hologram, you have to pay 10, 000 units to get another slot.
