Moar N Better Backpacks!
So what is it?
This is a very simple mod I made in less than 3 hours that modifies the recipes of the Vanilla Tier 1 to Tier 3 backpacks to actually be aquireable in game. For example, Tier 3 originally needed "Storm Leather" to craft it. However as we know by now, Storm Leather isn't actually even implemented into the game yet. So my solution to that problem is to just make it not need it! I also made them a lot easier to get earlier on, but using ingredients that actually make sense!
But I didn't stop with just that. I also added in two new upgrade tiers to the backpacks as well. It goes up to Tier 5 now. Each rank increases the backpack capacity further. At maximum rank, you'll get access to 54 total slots of available space to carry more of the things you love to hoarde! Now as for these two final tiers, they not only have the stipulation of requiring a lot of resources to craft, but you also need to unlock memories to even access them!
What it does:
- Changes the recipes of the original three Vanilla backpacks to make them much easier to get earlier on.
- Changes the recipes of the backpacks to make them actually viable to aquire through regular gameplay without the need of OP mode/creative menus.
- Adds in two new backpack recipes of Tier 4 and Tier 5 to push your backpack storage a little further than previously possible.
- Makes Tier 4 require 100 memories to unlock its recipe and Tier 5 require 200 memories to unlock its recipe! Get to explorin'!
But aren't there are already backpack mods out there?
Yes, there are. However, those backpacks seemed just too overkill for me. (96 slots? I can't even SEE everything in my slots at that point!) I wanted something grounded in the world that made sense, and fit the establishments placed already. Many of the other backpack mods are some pretty serious overhauls too, using their own rules and syntax. Mine is very simple. Using only the vanilla arguments and not being bloated with extra stuff. If thats appealing to you, then heres this mod!
Something to help you out if you don't know about it. All of my new recipes require Rope in order to craft them. If you are unaware as to how to make Rope, below is a spoiler telling you how to do it:
You simply have to take "Plant Fibers" to a Builders Bench and throw them in. Two options should appear in the prompts, Rope, and Diagonal Rope. You need to select the regular vertical Rope.
Disclaimer: Upon reaching 54 slots. The buttons in the backpack inventory prompt at the top right won't be able to be clicked on as other HUD elements at the top will block them. You can still use the Q, E, T, and R hokeys to take all, put all, auto-sort inventory, and put stacks of like items in however. And with it only being 54 slots, you'll still be able to visibly see everything in your backpack without any HUD elements blocking them or having the inventory go off screen.
