DISCLAIMER: If you want to use parts of my mod or a whole mod for your own project - go ahead, just mention me in the credits if you're going to publish it. Have fun!

Update 2.0 is LIVE!

After making my own faction/armor mod I decided to get back to Backpacks Expanded and deliver some of my promises regarding it. So the main focus of this update are quivers! I've also refied some stats and tweaked a couple of textures based on the feedback I've been given, hopefully the backpack will feel a bit more usefull for you all.

Backpacks:

-Adventurer's Backpack
-Darkened Adventurer's Backpack [NEW!]
-Leather Backpack (Previously known as "Improvised Leather Backpack")
-Thieves Tool Belt
-Refitted Oil Drum Backpack [Craftable]
-Improvised Backpack [Craftable]

Backpacks enchance the gameplay by adding more variery among the containers. Some of them are good for sneaking, some weight a ton but have a lot of storage space (old fashioned strength training anyone?).

Backpacks can be bought at most 'travel and gear' shops scattered around the world.

Quivers:

-Big Bolt Quiver [NEW!]
-Small Bolt Quiver [NEW!] (Needs different texture from the Big Bolt Quiver)
-Improvised Metal Quiver [NEW!]
-Improvised Mesh Quiver [NEW!]
-Improvised Leather Quiver [NEW!]
-Improvised Wooden Quiver [NEW!]

Quivers are light and are used to store ammunition for crossbows. They can't fit anything else than bolts most of the time but they offer great stacking. Ideal for non haulers and dedicated crossbowmans.

Quivers offer limited storage space but they also have increased stacking and weight reduction. It's still equally good to store your bolts in a backpack. Quivers are supossed to be a cosmetic, roleplay item that still has a viable function in the game.

They can also be worn with some backpacks! The bonuses will stack, but only one item will be visible on the character. To access the invisible container inventory, just click the visible one with left mouse button. (At least that's how it worked for me)

Quivers can be bought at at almost every 'ranged' shops scattered around the world.

Crafting Station:

-Crafting Junk Pile [NEW!]

The station can be built anywhere, doesn't create an outpost. You need 10 iron ore to build it and it takes a longer while.

Every item with "Improvised" in it's name will be craftable by using 5 iron ore and 2 animal skins.

Unfortunately, backpack crafting wasn't properly implemented in to the game by the developer and the result is that the backpacks/quivers are crafted instantly and the recipe can't be different for each one.

Hi thanks, I can't say I had, first time hearing about such issue. Normally I'd say that it's a modlist issue since your is large, but textures are the only thing that shouldn't interfere so i'm not sure now. I would launch the game with only my mod and the reshade, see if the problem persists, if no - enable more mods in batches, to see whether any of other mods are incompatibile. It the problem is still visible with no mods - I would blame the drivers/GPU. Also, try resubbing the mod, maybe something downloaded incorrectly. If you ever find the reason, please do comment here so others can see the solution.

Hey, Elwo if you're seeing this first off I absolutely love your mod! You have my thanks!

Also, have you had any reports about the backpack textures flickering? Namely the "adventurer's backpack." I am running native stylize, but I didn't have texture flicking in a much older playthrough with it on. I am using an AMD card (driver nightmare, but did a clean reinstall yesterday actually) and a large modlist. By any chance do you have an idea of what might cause such an issue?
