backpack?

[EvilNecroid]

would be nice if u could make a backpack that adds like another row of inventory slots or something. nothing too stupidly OP tho

[MountainMama]

i absolutely agree, would be easier to go on adventures

100% agree.. I am not too upset about how it is currently but losing 12/13 slots of inventory to things like food,armor and weapons/tools is kinda lame. A backpack that gave you an additional 8 slots would be awesome.. or make a character screen that allows you to equip your armor and weapons.

Just drag a cart... more thab enough slots.
Or build bigger ships like the longboat, which has a lot of slots too

mhh.. while I agree with you that a cart is really useful in terms of weight, in terms of slots he is usually a bad solution.
For stuff like mining etc, I also often use a cart and being kinda happy with it. But for exploration it often feels very anoying, especially if you want to fight.

So yes, I would like to see a backpack for another inventory row at bronze/iron tier. Besides that, some extra slots for worn equipment (at least the 4 armor parts) would also really help.

Vikings in Sagas didn't carry back packs

Except they probably did and they were made out of wood.

the cart ends up being a type of backpack, its just prone to breaking, I had to make myself roads so that it wouldn't slam around so much. but it still does on elevation changes. I could imagine that they would have used sacks and satchels but backpacks might have been a bit too anachronistic.

[Faitheal]

why do you guys insist on thinking this game should follow something that resembles reality ? I mean, did you miss the trolls and undead ?

[Tyrant]

leather satchels has been in use since neolithic times, its not a difficult concept to make a container to hold more things not to mention Roman soldiers also had backpacks and that is a long time ahead of vikings.

I do like the idea of making pack to allow you to carry more things but tbh it should have a drawback to it the game is too generous as it is.
However even if you do have a few more slots to carry things you are still limited by your max weight.
Perhaps have it be in the same slot that the belt and wishbone has?
but how do you solve someone filling all slots and then unequipping the bag?

You have it as a bonus on your character inventory page, items placed in that row are in the backpack. When taken off the items remain inside it. Don't think it should even add any weight either myself, just inventory slots.

Just one row wouldn't make chests obselete either since they offer two rows for 10 wood.

[acravasian]

make a backpack, but make it heavy! more slots for a penalty in weight.

[Tyrant]

perhaps have the backpack add a another action bar where you can put equipment/food/potions only?

[Judaspriester]

Mhh.. a backpack should just mean additional slots, nothing more, nothing less.

Some leather + bronze/iron for crafting, weight like 5, maybe 10, provides 1 additional row in inventory. A possible option would also be making one that provides a half row and a better one for a full row.
