what with the weight limit

[Umbra Animo]

ok i have to ask what with the weight limit being so low
you start off as a avarage level strenght why can you carry only 12 pounds i am not much of a weight lift heck im lazy and i can lift a lot more then that 18 pound each arm military style

[Umbra Animo]

and this is why im going to close it in to helping i get peolpe repeating that the 'they weight limit is fine" when it sucks i cant carry much so why keep it

[Umbra Animo]

this is my last post on this do what you want i tired of the same post i dont care that 12 is fine to you guys it feels to small to me

[Umbra Animo]

weight conter idea

ok as some might have seen i dont feel the weight limit 12 is fair but i have idea for and no it not to raise it.
more is make that items in bags do not add to it untill it reaches past the limit then the weghit reduction takes place

That would essentially be an exploit to be able to carry three (or more?) hiking bags close to capacity without having the "weight" added. That doesn't seem to make sense to me in the way I think you mean it. Gotta say I am also having a hard time understanding what you mean due to the phrasing and (lack of?) punctuation so maybe I just don't understand what you mean.

Merged threads. No need for more than one.

Winger, if you REALLY want to carry as much as you want, then it is an incredibly easy thing to do. Just change the recipe for the Big Hiking bag to offer 100% weight reduction. You change EVERY bag if you wanted. Knock yourself out. The base game is fine the way it is. What you want is to cheat, which nobody cares if you do, so go ahead. If you don't know how to do that, then search around and look for the info. It's out there. Everybody is free to play PZ in any way that they so choose.

The exception here is that those cheats will not work on a multiplayer server.
But yeah, its easy to change the bags limits. But I think the percentage weight reduction is limited to 95%, not 100%.

one for the one who said three bags yes you can have three but also no weapon and it just bugs me that bags can be useless if i have to cut down trees to get logs they way so much but so does the axe and what if i am getting loot from far way
one base i have in near a food store and paramedic but two warhouse are a bit away its a pain with looting i cant get my from them since i run in to a lot of zommbie so i need my axe

[Umbra Animo]

hmm how about this a serviver skill backbacker for efective use of a backback increasses the weight reduction is i would say a slow level mixed between the strength and normal skill in defaculty and how well have a backback nearly full for a bit

[WillieSea]

If you want to carry more logs, use rope. Four rope will tie 4 logs together and make them weigh a lot less.

Like nasKo said, we're trying to work with you and help you here. For how hostile you've been, I'd say you're lucky anyone is still here.

Like mentioned before, you can mod the game, you can take strong traits and you can even take the organized trait like I mentioned before (even though that won't help you with strength and will only help you with fitting more into your bags).

Like people have said, it's not based entirely on weight but it does rely on your strength level, so be sure if you want to carry a lot you have better strength stats. Having things in your bag reduces their weight/size but you still have to have your character carry that weight (with their strength).

And if you don't want to start a new character, carry around a heavy load most of the time and you'll start getting stronger in no time :)

Or the OP could just play with the cheat engine and remove the weight limit, and no you seems to be the only one that that have a problem with the weight system.

I cant remember anybody else in the last years was so upset about this system like you........

As this thread was created some time ago, I thought to add to it and see what progress, if any, has been made regarding this major weight limitation issue. It's the biggest reason I stopped playing because it made no sense for most items to "weigh" much more then they should, and, the issue that our max carry weight is so low.

I would like a way to modify all the weight files in the game, including modifying the max weight you can carry based on the strength stat. Frankly, the current values need to be at a min, increased by 1.5x - 2x where they are now, and all items need to be re-balanced.

It really should be a fully modifiable stat we should have full control over. This doesn't effect anyone else gameplay in single player and it would be a great resource for server admins as well.

For example, I see you can start as a "fireman" or someone with str training, etc, yet their carry weight is so very very low even AFTER you put pts into str traits.

Carrying a duffle bag or any kind of cloth bag / pack of any kind can be modified easily to wear on the back, and gives player control over center of gravity, and thus being able to carry a lot more weight with good movement.

Please give us the ability to 100% completely modify the strength values and how much base weight players can carry.

As said previously in the thread, weight is a combination of encumbrance of an object and its weight. It's there to make you think about what you loot and plan ahead. Bags and traits are provided to give you more capacity, if you choose to work with the system. Many bags can already be equipped on teh back, including the duffle bag.

It's a common trope in both survival games and RPGs.

You otherwise have access to modding via the scripts already.

As stated, I would like to see these stats modifiable, you know, as in "being able to mod" stats and more control over them. I do not see how this request effects anyone else gameplay for a SP game.

Having the ability to modify these values would help us, the community, fix some of the errors in the weight / encumbrance system that I do not like or agree with. Everything seems to be pointing towards more "realism" on so many levels, yet this is a game.

It's not a common trope in other survival games, no where even close. Reference 7 days to die, Empyrion, DayZ, Miscreated, etc. They are survival games, but do things very differently in terms of weight / encumbrance.

I am not asking that this game is made like those. All I am asking to have the ability to mod the values for Str and all weight / encumburance values for PZ. What I can carry in PZ with a higher Str trait chosen is laughable, even WITH a pack on my char back.

A real live person could easily exceed far beyond what this game offers, and not be anywhere close to "encumbered" as what this game punishes you for. Many things simply do not make sense, so asking to have the ability to mod these values is something I do not believe is unreasonable.

If you don't like it, mod it. It's literally that simple.
