Whether you’re 🐟looking to store crafted items, Schematics or the items dropped by Pals, you’re going to end up needing a lot of space. When you reach level two, you can craft the Wooden Chest, but you’re soon left feeling that you need more space. 

There are a lot of storage items in Palworld, from furniture pieces that double as storage, like the Locker, to dedicated storage pieces like the Refined Metal Chest. All of these ꧃items need to be unlocked via the Technology ladder, so be sure to gather up those Technology Points. 

Single unlock storage items

There are a few items that unlock on their own as individual items on the Technology ladder. You’ll have to wait a long time between unlocking the Metal Chest and its Refined🧜 counterpart, but the juꦫmp in storage space is definitely worth it.

Here’s the details for those items:

Item nameUnlock levelTechnology PointsNumber of slots

Metal Chest16224
Refrigerator 38225
Refined Metal Chest39340

Storage item sets

Rather than waiting until level 39 in order to unlock the Refined🃏 Metal Chest, there are a multitude of storage sets that pro🅷vide multiple storage items as part of one unlockable option on the Technology ladder.
