.... I am seriously thinking of changing my No Man Sky survival save slot inventory stack size difficulty setting to "normal".

after you have the item teleport on a colossal ship the limited stack size are just wasted micromanage time (and make refining a pain, especially when you want to refine 10k+ mold into nanite)

at 250 mold / stack, with 6 refiner you are basically stuck refilling them in a loop

@SPArcheon What would you lose from doing so?

As in, is there an achievement or something like that which you'll lose if you do that?

@Nzall I don't think you will lose anything.

the only achievement tied to difficulty should be "complete the game in permadeath mode" on PS network, and I suspect that now you can "cheese" it by playing normal up to the end, switch to perma, get the achievement, restore the old save from ps-plus.

It was more of a "keep playing with the original "survival" setting but the inventory stack is really more of a time waster than anything else.

Maybe at the start of the game it adds some difficulty but by the end it is just limiting your base storage with no reason.

And that storage could be used for rare items/collectibles/eggs instead.
