How do you feel about "pockets"?

[ЧPOG]

Played CDDA in 2016 and decided to remember - had some fun, until I figured something changed ;) Pockets!!
Like wtf!!
WHY :)
It doesn't bring any joy to play - or maybe I miss something..
Switched to CBD (bright nights) until.
But how do YOU feel about new pocket system? How do you enjoy it? In which way?

i love the pocket system personally and it does make sense.

Ive never played a game where what ur having on ur backpack or the trousers actually mattered and influenced how well u do stuff!

PLUS if u can have pocket inception ( toolboxes and similar) u can end up with more space that normal! i think.

Pocket system is at first cumbersome, but has some nice advantages:

When dropping a pack or bag, you know exactly what is inside it and can configure it how you like
You know where everything is and how much space is left
You can designate some pockets for only certain types of contents allowing you to (for example) prevent accidentally filling up your magazine carrier slots with batteries or whatever.

I legit don’t get what people’s complaint is. It’s the best system I’ve seen in a game and it’s 100% automatic

Honestly the only time i see it mentioned is in the context of bn and my impression of bn is Its fans are very mentally I’ll

Okay, this)
Yea, maybe I should think it over - consider increased cognitive cost to manage those pockets, thanks!

> consider increased cognitive cost to manage those pockets, thanks!

But you don't really need to if you don't want to, it works pretty well by itself

Yea,.. after trying it a bit more I felt that it is indeed advantageous.

Single items like files, containers - folders. It is much easier to organize your stuff with folders than with single files.

There were a lot of QOL features replaced with higher quality realism concepts along the way. Most of which, while I love the ideas, I still prefer the QOL feature instead,
My solution 0.F Frank 8/31/2018. Some of the really cool stuff is missing from newer versions but this one plays the best imho.

It's inside a toastems box, inside a 3l glass jar, inside a purse, inside a trenchcoat, inside a messenger bag, inside a backpack, inside your rucksack

Yes, multiple instances of "bottles of water" isn't visually appealing.. but how else possible to address those assets when one want to make an action with it?
Every bottle of water is a separate object now.
I'd like to have more eye-friendly option, but don't know how to even organize it - any ideas?

I'm afraid, computer doesn't think so :)
It understands 10 units of water as of 5 separate objects and if you want to take/drink one unit of water it has to pick the "right" one, not the random one.
How machine will pick? From the top of bottles or bottom bottles, or random bottle?
And what if you want to pick the EXACT bottle with 50% fullness?
That's why you address it via containers, and in current state sometimes it doesn't looks compact enough, human-wise..
