openremote VS NMS-base-part-count

We're excited to announce our completely overhauled, completely free OpenRemote IoT Platform with an interface that makes it easy for both installers and project managers to configure their own IoT platform. We are 100% open source, so you can try and use all of it for free, including things like, multi-realm, edge gateways, and white-labelling. Check out our Wiki/Quickstart

There isn't any way to increase it. You can use a save editor to back up bases to view the part counts of each base. You can also use this tool to show the part count of all of your bases together, and break down the counts of different base objects in individual bases. This might give you some insight into where all the parts went and what you might delete.

Some time ago, when I was relatively new to the game, I was happily building along on my PC and received a “Cannot build – Construction limit reached” notice on the screen, unable to place more parts. This ended up spiraling into a large effort to understand base-building dynamics in the game, using save editors and some scripting. I found, without question, that the base building limit was 16,000 base parts, spread across all claimed base computers and your freighter base. I posted my findings here on reddit and eventually posted my script on github for others to use.

If you're in a position where you just can't account for where all the parts are used when you hit the limit, and your platform is save editor compatible (any PC distro method, or Xbox and PS4 with some hoops to jump through) you can export your save as JSON and run it through this tool for a per-part-type breakdown: https://github.com/weasel-nms/NMS-base-part-count
