It is always impossible to work with this inventory - it is never enought to move big amounts of goods, etc. For example, to place a big amount of cheese trays you need to make multiple trips, so tedious. Same for harvesting after farming, etc.
Make it so, that your inventory will be endless, but you will be able to carry items based on their weight, just like in salem. The level of your character will determinate the size of your production branches, which you will be able to support.
