Cargo Hold & Welding
Repairing the ship's Cargo Hold and what it gives you once it's welded shut.
Your ship's Cargo Hold at the Crash Site is damaged. Repairing it is a two-part job: install the right materials, then weld it back together.
Unlocking the repair
The repair opens up once Wade Rusk puts you on the Hold It Together job, which arrives automatically after you finish Waste Not. Until then, the Cargo Hold just shows as damaged.
The material recipe
The repair needs exactly 15 Refined Ferrite and 6 Slag. You can contribute materials across more than one visit, but the game asks you to confirm the exact amount each time — once installed, materials can't be taken back out.
Welding it shut
Once both materials are complete, Welding becomes available while you're stationary at the Crash Site. It takes twelve separate welding passes, each about three seconds, to finish the repair.
What you get
A repaired Cargo Hold gives you 32 slots of on-site storage at the Crash Site. You can deposit or withdraw a single item or a whole stack while you're stationary there — it's separate from what you're carrying in Inventory.
