desertedone Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 How much carry capacity do you think isn't too much? I'm thinking about 35 kg at best with well fed, about 40 kg for well fed+moose satchel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odium Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 my 'daily carry' is around 28kg, unless i swap bearroll for normal. i keep well fed and moose satchel which allows me to gather 10-12kg before it becomes an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking about 35 kg at best with well fed, about 40 kg for well fed+moose satchel. Not sure I understand the question correctly. In any case iirc encumbrance is gradual in this game. So even below the threshold of your 'maximum' carrying weight, weight slows you down and tires you out. Or, in other words: You move faster and tire less quickly with 10 kg of luggage than with, let's say, 20kg. At least I remember it like that. When setting out on expeditions, I try to take as little with me as possible for that reason. For smaller hunting or exploration trips which are intended to bring me back to base within a day or two, I try to stay below 20 kg, often around 17-18 kg. I move considerably faster than with all the gear, and I have room to bring back loot without becoming over-encumbered (meaning without going above 30 kg).

Anything above 35 kg without bonuses is too much to me cause that's when stalking wolves tend to catch up and things go bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillitys Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I'm super bad at leaving things behind, so I'm always walking around with a full bag... I'm consciously trying to learn otherwise, but whenever I leave some item behind, I always seem to regret it later 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always try to carry everything, sometimes I risk journeys while I can't sprint. Bad habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpUpAway95 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 It's completely dependent on how agressive I've got the predators set. If aggressive, then anything that encumbers me is too much and I'll only carry over that limit if I absolutely must and then I'll only carry it for the shortest possible time. My caches of most things are small and haphazard and my gameplay is more about covering more ground quickly and being mobile to avoid predators is critical. If the predators are passive, I'll load myself right up until I can no longer run at all and concern myself with getting the "world" organized a bit and wandering around to get good screenshots. My survival is seldom in question and getting sprains is seldom more than a slight inconvenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odizzido Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 If I am well armed and armoured I tend to carry more weight. If I don’t even have a knife then I stay light usually. I am okay to not even be able to sprint if my health is good and I have a bow and knife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Moving base? Load me up, so long as I'm below 30kg I'm not too worried. If I'm moving, I take the tools I need to establish myself. This will usually be a half dozen arrows, survival bow, hacksaw, quality tools, (improvised) knife, two cooking pots, magnifying lens and firestriker or a pack of matches, prybar, hammer, and bedroll, plus clothes, food and water to make up the weight. Once I reach my new location, I dump it all and selectively equip what I'll need for that day. Going hunting? Drop everything but warm clothes, bow, arrows and knife. Harvesting wood? Drop everything but my hacksaw. Removing unnecessary clothing is also a great means of avoiding extra weight and wear on your gear. Two bearskin coats will give you great thermal protection, but you don't really need to wear them if you're spending the day doing a cooking marathon.

PrincessAutumn Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 In my experience, I've found that you start slowing down noticeably once you reach 34 pounds over encumbrance. EG at 100lbs current weight when your limit is 66.00lbs if you're a silly American like me who doesn't know squat about the Metric system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
