In 7 Days to Die, there are plenty of moments during resource runs and expeditions when you wish you could carry more in your vehicles. “Lam’s Increased vehicle storage” appears to be a MOD that solves that storage shortage across the board.
What kind of MOD is it?
It seems to be a simple modlet that raises the number of storage slots for each vehicle and player-crafted container well beyond vanilla values. It doesn’t change behavior or crafting recipes themselves — it only increases “how much you can carry” — so it looks well suited to players who don’t want to significantly upset the game balance.
It falls under the Miscellaneous category, and its defining trait is a lightweight build focused on a single feature.
Key features
According to the author’s description, storage capacity is expanded as follows.
Vehicles
- Drone: 16 → 32
- Bicycle: 9 → 20
- Minibike: 27 → 50
- Motorcycle: 36 → 70
- Gyrocopter: 45 → 80
- 4×4 Truck: 81 → 110
Player-crafted containers
- Wood Crate: 48 → 60
- Iron Crate: 64 → 80
- Steel Crate: 80 → 100
Across the board these are roughly double, and even the larger items get a solid boost. You may find the benefit feels greatest with early-game vehicles like the bicycle and minibike.
Installation tips
- As with any typical modlet, it should work simply by placing the unzipped folder into the
Modsfolder of 7 Days to Die. - MODs that change storage capacity may need to be installed on both the server side and the client side in multiplayer. Please check what suits your setup when using it in multiplayer.
- Since it’s a simple build that only adjusts values, conflicts with other MODs are relatively unlikely, but do watch out for overlaps with other MODs that also touch vehicle and container storage.
- Backing up your save data before installing is recommended just in case.
Who it’s for
- Players frustrated with carrying capacity during expeditions or large-scale teardowns and salvage runs
- Players who want to avoid flashy overhauls and just add a quietly effective quality-of-life tweak
- Players who want to boost the usability of vehicles available from the early game
On the other hand, for survival-minded players who deliberately enjoy storage limits, it may be overkill. It seems best to first try it out casually as a light quality-of-life MOD.
