Just tried to contract 250 mods - came up with a limit of 200

How long has that been in place?

You have to put them in a container.

Or if its a Red Frog courier contract do multiple small contracts and wear the slightly higher freight cost.

How did you manage to play for 10 years & not notice this at any stage?

Tbh, the limit is simply to justify the Contract Skill limits. However, as others have suggested, cans and work arounds are the way forward

Why, thank you, Thing!

Wait... what? The limit just before Crius was 2000... I know, because I made a contract with 2000 different items (BPCs) . Are you sure you haven't missed a 0 when typing the post?

It's been limited for a while, but afaik it was added at some point in the last few years. It's not something people run into frequently so they do tend to remark on it. The limitation seems to relate to unique item types rather than stacks. Last time I checked containers make no difference, other than to allow you to split things.

Yeah - done lots of BPs and assorted mins etc and not had this before. That's why I was intrigued by the 200 limit.

Just tested it ingame and it looks like items contracted directly from your hangar have a hard limit of 200, but those in cans still go upto 2000.

Ed - you get the message for items in hangar in red on the front screen, but those in cans it delivers the message on the final screen
