Things the game never tells you. Everything here works today — no downloads, no settings to change.
Every character has their own 200-item bank, and there is also a shared bank for your whole account that every character can reach. Items you leave there can be picked up by any of your characters — it is how you move gear between them without a second player to hand it to.
Switch banks by typing a command in the in-game chat:
$bank 0 | Your account’s shared bank |
|---|---|
$bank 1 | Your first character’s bank, $bank 2 the second, and so on |
$bank | Cycles to the next character’s bank |
Type it before you walk up to the bank counter. Switching while you already have the bank open is refused, so pick your bank first, then talk to the counter. It is also unavailable during Battle and Challenge modes.
Stacks here go up to 99 for mates, fluids, grinders, materials, atomizers, telepipes and traps, so a bank slot holds far more than it does on a stock server.
⚠ This needs a keyboard. Chat commands are typed, and the controller’s text input can only send the game’s canned phrases — so if you play on a pad, keep a keyboard within reach for this one.
The game’s own sound options are on/off switches with no level to set, so Corellia-Canary adds the sliders it is missing.
On Windows: open the Corellia-Canary launcher, click Options, and use the Master, Music and Effects sliders. Music and effects are genuinely separate, so you can silence the soundtrack and still hear the game. The levels are remembered between sessions.
You can still use Windows’ own mixer if you prefer — right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar → Open volume mixer — but it only moves the whole game at once.
On Steam Deck: use the volume buttons on the top edge of the Deck. The Deck does not use the Windows launcher, so the sliders above are not available there.
You can have a second account, yourname_sbox, with the same
password as your normal one. On it, cheats are on, every quest is unlocked, and you can set
your level and create any item you like — so you can try a weapon out before deciding to hunt
for it.
It has its own characters, separate from your real ones, and sandbox and normal games are kept apart: the two can never be in the same game, so nothing made in the sandbox can reach normal play. That separation is the point — it is what lets anything go in there.
Add or remove one from your account page at any time. Removing it deletes its characters, but never touches your real account.
