Point of traveler bags?

[silencer4]

What is the point of the bags found in Aurora if you can't carry them when items are inside? Isn't it the purpose of a bag to hold items to carry ?

No practical use, merely aesthetic, unfortunately.

you use to be able to put stuff in them and carry them, but it only had a 3x3 space inside but used 3x3 space in your inventory to carry so you gained nothing. now you can't even pick it up with stuff in it. there useless.

Huh? They're great for looting the Aurora completely in one go. You use them as intermediate storage. Drop them at a convenient point and then start carrying stuff into them. Everything fits on the total inventory of the bags and your own. Finally, you move everything to the ramp where you parked and then start ferrying the stuff back home. Neat and tidy.

Leave no poster behind!

This appeals to the organizer that lives in my brain. The mathematician broke everything down into vectors and determined that, assuming you have a sub with cargo space nearby, this actually costs you more time than it saves.

Tell me these rooms wouldn't look as good without the bags in them. Just try.

Exactly! You can't.

Is this a challenge? ;)

Actually they’re designed specifically to be put inside the Cyclops submersible….

Just save the game before you put them in

This one is certainly a head scratcher. I imagine there are some elements of the game that may have been intended to work a certain way but the team didn't have enough time to get them working as intended.

Earlyer when the game was still in EA the bags could be picked up with things in them. But as they took up as much space as they held (both nine squares each) it....was a little pointless.
In nine squares of space you get to hold up to ten items! ....One of which will be holding the other nine. And you have to put it down to get at the ones inside....

I guess at some point the dev's felt this way of doing it was better...? It's no worse.

put peepers in them, take peepers to top of island, drop peepers, watch them slide away, realise you doomed them for they are trapped without food, jump, swim as deep as you can go, bash head against rock until death due to depression due to dead peepers

^theres a use

I put mine in the moonpools like I'm prepping for a long trip.

You put them in the cyclops and it goes nuts.

Also you can pick up these bags with stuff in them if you use another tool. Same with those portable lockers. Infinite stacking.
