HyperLordBender Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Backpacks should be a part of the game, both for survival and wintermute. Wintermute would benefit from a proper backpack system more than survival. They should have their own slot instead of using one of the two accessory slots When you start you have a basic backpack. You have access to the crafting recipe of the improved backpack. The player should have a base carry weight of 10KG +5KG for the well feed status effect. In addition, these backpacks can be dropped. When dropped they turn into containers the player can use to store stuff. This would be useful for making bases outside where container space may be non-existent. While equipped they do not weigh anything and add their respective bonus' to the players carry capacity. When in the inventory they weigh 1KG. Notes: Specialized slots reduce the weight of items in them by 50%. Only the specific item for that slot can be put in that slot. Moose satchel should be on the level on the improved backpack as an alternative recipe Wolf hides could be used in place of the deer hides Stats: Basic Backpack (Starting Backpack): +20KG carry capacity Medium Water Canteen slot Recipe: 1 Cured Deer Hide 2 Cured Gut 5 Cloth Improved Backpack / Technical Backpack(Uncraftable): +40KG carry capacity General specialization Rifle Slot Hatchet Slot Medium Water Canteen slot Recipe: 4 Cured Deer Hide (Main body of backpack) 4 Cured Rabbit Hide (Two specialized slots) 2 Cured Gut 5 Cloth Master Backpack +100 KG carry capacity Extreme survival specialization Rifle Slot Hatchet Slot Crowbar slot Large water canteen slot Recipe (obtained by curing a Moose hide): 2 Cured Moose Hide (Main body of backpack) 8 Cured Rabbit Hide (Four specialized slots) 5 Cured Gut 10 Cloth 5 Metal salvage 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTC-10 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 First the devs would have to fundamentally restructure the character inventory system of the game to enable a separate backpack before they can think about introducing a variety of discrete backpacks. Until something like that is done, suggesting a variety of backpacks is fine (I would have no problem with them if the game was changed and these were introduced) but ultimately futile without that first big step. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they need to change how inventory works? The backpacks just add to the players weight and can act as containers. The first bit is already in the game with the Moose satchel and the ability to put down containers is already something mods have been doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTC-10 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 The OP was making a suggestion that Hinterland could implement if they so chose and I think I was stating that it was not so simple as might be supposed to anyone looking in from the outside.
