Why does every damn expansion mod in this game boost your inventory/stacks size?

[Lea]

All I want is to enhance my vanilla experience without nearly freaking unlimited inventory. Just a mod with some additional content that also BARELY keeps in touch with the realism in terms of limiting your based abilities and making them close to a common human being. At least let me have my vanilla inventory as it is. Are my wishes really THAT unpopular among the community so the no mod-maker has ever thought about it?

Actually, I'd tend to agree with you. I feel like the devs intended there to be a little bit of a shortage of inventory space so you'd have to make some compromises (like real life.) I'd rather that my inventory and toolbelt be left alone when adding mods. You can sort through the Nexus for mods just getting individual ones instead of the major overhauls. The list for A21 is growing on the Nexus as lots of modders update theirs to A21. Otherwise, with a bit of digging through the xml's for the mods, you can find where they are adding changes to inventory spaces and just delete those code lines out of the xml's. As long as another part of their mod isn't relying on those added spaces of inventory, it should work just fine.

I was wondering why so many public servers have 30 slot backpacks. And they hate admitting they have it, is the weirdest part. I get a migraine trying to read the super tiny boxes and finding stuff. I tried to just get along and play but only use the normal amount of slots, couldn't do it. Hurts my eyes too much.

If someone does agree with your point of view(UNlike me)..
its up to him to change the mods of his server/avoid servers with larger backpacks.

The only point(which makes any backpack-enlargement an "issue") is the smaller icons in said larger backpack(especially those 80+) ..

For those who want an "ultra"-realistic survival game.. feel free to even lower the stack numbers..

I still dont get what you are complaining about?
Truely, there ARE plenty of mod changing the inventory/stack stuff but instead of changing those mods just drop them (are you using mod-packs?!).

I keep my server to some single modlets(plenty of selfmade modlets) i want to have instead of using a stupid pack which will break any update sooner or later..

Call me a minecraft-like player :D I HAVE to take anything which can be taken so vanilla gameplay would drive ME crazy ^^

I played vanilla a lot and it gets repetitive. I've been looking for an overhaul mod that keeps your inventory/stack size untouched and I couldn't find one.

Could you tell me how do I do that in Undead Legacy or Darkness Falls, or some other big overhaul mod the majority of the 7dtd players seem to enjoy? I'd be grateful.

I think It's great that you like it this way but all people are different and I feel kind of opposite. To me, the possibility to carry everything on your character kills the suspense, the spirit of the survivability I had been enjoying in vanilla.

My main issue with the increased backpack sizes is how it reduces the view. I have one blind eye and the good one isn't so great. So, I need the larger font and icons. I wouldn't mind 'some' extra slots... just a few so that it doesn't shrink everything. As to realism... yeah, that don't really apply in a game like this one... not much anyway. I just like the 'logic' to be realistic. Nothing worse than a game that uses chaotic logic which makes no sense... imo. Anyone who's ever played the old PS Disc World may understand what I mean?

In my Undead Legacy mod it has a scrolling inventory with 300 slots where your inventory is limited by weight and that is for a reason, the mod has a lot more items and a ton more are planned to be added, for me it was important to still have limits, but not based on how much different items you can carry with a slot limited inventory.

Well, I agree I shouldn't have used Undead Legacy as an example because of the complete mechanic overhaul. I don't know if weight limits set by your mod would feel "realistic" though. Sadly, I wasn't able to participate since the font was too small and caused me instant eyestrain. But me playing videogames on 17-inch laptop is my own problem, for sure. I believe I read there are programmed limits in 7dtd that don't let modders change the font size.

I have never downloaded or looked at those overhauls personally so big fat grain of salt here, but based on a few modlets I've tried --

--for backpack size changes, In the mods specific directory, if there is a folder called XUI, and it has a windows.xml in it, open that and take a look for a backpack section - Rows and cols of one subsections of that are what you want to change - if the mod does/adds more fancy stuff to backpack functions, no clue, but it's probably in that file as well.

If you want to alter backpack max stack sizes (eg,wood to 1000 per square), that would likely be in a (Mod) Config\items.xml. You'd have to alter the stack size for a lot of individual items. Search items.xml for "stacknumber" if you want to look at/change many things.

...again, grain of salt since I haven't seen the way these specific mods organize their changes. Maybe they do something entirely different somehow.

....too many changes I don't want are why I have yet to use any overhaul mods (in any game, not just 7 Days)and just tweak .xml's or make small mods myself on my own here and there for some basic rule or UI changes.

Thank you, I'll try this out
