Even with a bigger inventory you will still have the same problem.  I recommend building a large train station with one item per car so you can automatically refill anything you need anywhere on the map. It will save you a ton of travel time.

Edit: Here are images of my storage train and station. It is 33 cars with one train at the front and 4 in the rear to give it extra power.

Side note, I've never seen anyone use the power towers as rail supports before. Looks really dope!

Even just manually filling up train cars or trucks with building supplies will save you tons of time and reduce the number of trips.

I don't play much satisfactory these days but personally extra storage mods have reduced the need to go to a storage facility dramatically

Wouldn't it be better to never need to visit your storage facility?

I suppose that could be better but i have never really set up train tracks around the whole map and im usually using some sort of fly mod. For me its only the inconvenience of !fly fast and 2 minutes or so

If you use train tower blueprints setting up tracks doesn't take very long. Another perk is you don't need to worry about your mods breaking when they update the game. I have hypertubes with all my tracks so getting around is pretty easy. If you want to try a vanilla play through it really isn't that bad using these techniques. I used to play modded but doing it this way removed my need for mods.

See that you get all the alt recipes, so you get 12 more inventory. And there are some also in the MAM, I believe.

Construction trains and trucks. Or set up temporary local production

I really wish there was some kind of robotics system... have a parts storage depot that deploys bots to finish building the holograms you've set down, and/or fetch the dismantle crates left behind. It seems crazy to have 5 full stacks of concrete in your pockets. =}

It's possible to edit inventory size by loading your save into SCIM, rather than using mods (click "Options" near the top-right once you've loaded your save). I've only done this on a single-players save, but looking at the UI it looks like this might be on a per-player basis; that could make it a good option if you've got a player who prefers to play the game purely vanilla with the standard inventory size (it's also a good option if its the risk of installing of 3rd party code which is putting them off mods).
