Items that increase carrying capacity not working?

[marat1793]

I have many mods. For some reason, items that are supposed to increase carrying capacity, e.g. exoskeleton frame for Vanilla Expanded, or Industrial Exo Frame from Industrial Melee, simply do not. Are there any common mod/mod conflict culprits for such an issue?

Increased carrying capacity only really works if you have an increased stack size mod. Colonists can only carry 1 stack, so if stack size is 75 they can only carry 75 even if they have 100 carrying capacity.

I have ogrestack scaled pretty big, I don't believe that's the issue, and colonists cant pick up individual items like guns either. The carrying capacity stat itself isn't changing, which seems wrong.

In order for those exo frames to actually work, you need another mod like Carry Capacity Fixed. I don't think either VE or IM include any fixes for carry capacity themselves.

Huh... so does the "carrying capacity +300" of the IM suit not actually mean anything, or does it not mean anything without it?

It means nothing without it. I think the mod author of IM said this in the description or the comments.

Ah shoot. Thanks. That's what I get for not reading thoroughly

Ah, you meant caravan capacity. You don't need any mod to allow them to haul more stuff on map, but those stats only apply to hauling. If you want to convert hauling capacity to caravan capacity then ya, a mod like Bulk Carrier or Carry Capacity Fixed is required.
