Saddle Bags for your Dino's

[Ahhfkit]

Just a thought,
Wouldnt it be cool if the Dev's added saddle bags that you could fit to your Dino instead of a saddle. So like, when your going on a wook cutting expidition with say ... 3 or 4 Trikes, your main can have your saddle, while the other 2-3 have saddle bags, doubline (or what ever the Devs like) the carrying capacity of your Dino's ....

Just a thought...

Uh, no? Put points into weight if you want them to carry more. Get a bronto if you want storage.

[Yumi]

Or, craft your walls, floors, doors out there in the feild, which way less and means you can carry more.

it does feel weird storing all my gear in my dinos tummy.Not wanting to ponder how i'm physically accessing it. nope.

Ok so if not for any other reason than asthetics ...
You don't think a Trike or Stego with saddle backs would look pretty sweet?.....

Yeah, but if they implemented it, you could craft more structures "in the field" ....

It would be like having your trusty steed, plus a couple of pack horses/muels

Doubling the carry capacity? Umm, no.

Stegos and Trikes already have a great carrying capacity, there's no reason to add more.

Devs have confirmed that things like saddle bags, sleeping bags and other such additions will come to mounts. So just hang around till they come out.

You arn't storing your gear in the dino's tummy. The dino is carrying it is all. Think about it. Do you assume you are carrying 25 trank arrows in your tummy when it's sitting in your inventory? Of course not. The dinos are no different. You have use your imagination. Like You have two quivers holding trank and reg arrows. You got a bundle of fiber in a backpack. IDK how you are carrying 200 wood but you are... lol

What would be neat is if they added some skins to respresent what you are story and how full the dino is just by looking at it. Like have the items represented in stacks on the dino. piles of wood slung over the sides of a Mammoth. or an Anklio pulling a sled full of stone. It would have to be non-collision skins though, like pipe/cable, so you just run thru it.

But don't get your hopes up, that's a lot of work and they got enough on their plate already.

I like this idea, but only as a visual. Known "pack animal" dinos should get packs/satchels on their saddles. It would look cool, and increase immersion.

Sorry but your wrong, I am not sure if we are in the matrix or using some serious alient tech. But everything is stored in our Implant. That is why we hold it up and project it into our faces like we do. Moving around our inventory and whatnot.

Its like the matrix when you just download karate, or download the knowledge of how to make an auto turret. Its all there in the implant, and we are storing items there, you aren't upgrading your physical strength when you increase carry weight, you are upgrading your implants capacity for things.

Similarly you will hear people saying "Don't add new weapons, just put more points into melee Dmg if you want more power"

Doubling their carry weight may not be best idea, but Perhaps giving the backpack/Saddlebags 4-5 slots with no carry weight on them. Or Items you put in those slots are reduced in their carry weight by 10%. Something like that.

How about different level saddlebags with increased armor and increased capacity. Primitive gives 25 armor and 50 carry weight or something similar to that. Ascended giving over 100 armor and 500 carry weight.

[Zairolin]

If they do add something like this I suspect it will be more like a pack saddle increasing your carry capacity while limiting it by not being rideable. Mostly for the smaller mountable critters. Why worry about the carry capacity of a bronto when we will be able to build chests and cabinets to store stuff right on it's back?

How much a dino can carry is based on weight, not the size of a bag on its back.

A different type of bag on the saddle isn't going to make the dino stronger, so the OP's idea doesn't really work.
