Current answer
Find the hacked, open biobeds inside colonist bunkers and interact with the green DNA terminal. These beds apply permanent inventory upgrades, and later upgrades also add hotbar slots; they do not change your respawn point. If you missed them, use the Anomaly Scanner's Biohacking Chamber target to locate the relevant bunkers.
Evidence boundary
The mechanic and scanner target are repeatedly confirmed in the linked discussion. This site has not yet mapped every biobed location or independently captured each upgrade in-game.
