The Hidden Physics Glitch: Why Your NMS Corvette Parts Won't Max Stack
Mod loaders and patch notes have players talking again. This hidden issue quietly caps your inventory efficiency.
The Hidden Physics Glitch: Why Your NMS Corvette Parts Won't Max Stack is a weight collision bug. The engine treats each part as heavy, blocking full packing even when space looks free. Studies indicate object bounds, not slot count, control this limit.
Physics overrides simple counting. The game checks model size before stacking. If collision data overlaps, new items refuse to join the group. Research shows slight part rotations or tiny dents make this refusal stronger.
Move parts slightly to test free space. Small nudges often let you exceed the usual limit.
What fixes this invisible wall?
-
Why can't I pack more identical parts? Adjust rotation or position so bounds no longer clip.
-
Will a patch remove this behavior? Developers rarely change physics stacking logic in updates.
