Crafting & Inventory

[Pain Weasel]

One thing that bugs me about the game, is the inventory space required to use crafted items.

For example, the basic crafting menu allows you to build a workshop, but you can't use it until you've picked it up and placed it, which means you need a backpack. But not just any backpack, one that is the correct size and dimensions. It seems a bit silly to be able to build something and then not use it until it has been stuffed in a bag, not to mention stuffing a workshop or cement mixer in a backpack to begin with but whatever.

If players can craft something, they need to be able to use/place what they crafted without searching around at the mercy of the old RNG just to be able to pick up the item they crafted.

Of course you can always just find a crafting station and use that, although that is random as well, but I'm assuming at some point that will go away.

Maybe make some of the items a bit smaller, or the backpack you can craft a bit bigger.

The craftable backpack is large enough for a workbench, but I agree completely. My vision for the game is to carry things you can’t fit in your pack in your hands, which would also allow placing them as well.

In the future that would also allow moving items that have items inside of them to place them down again.
