how do you get backpack parts, can someone tell me?

This mod is a relief to anyone's sanity (looking for backpacks for sale at vendors is tedious).
But why a workbench for each tier ? Wouldn't it be enough to simply unlock blueprints ?
And where are the produced backpacks stored ? I cannot find any dedicated storage...

FYI, Genesis mod is compatible with like 0 mods. Just assume if you install Genesis you are not installing any other mods with it.

I'm using this mod with Genesis mod.
I have the tech and the blueprints, but they don't show up on the benches as craftable.
Is it possible for me to change this?

The name of the mod will be this on your steam kenshi mod library 2909495250 once you downloaded, go there and overwrite the fcs with this. Make sure you have a backup of the original fcs. I testing it and currently seems okay, not crashed the editor, need to test in game aswell.
To thank the mod creator go and find this mod above. His/her work is well needed for modding.

Well it seems i found a solution for this, there is a mod that allows you (expands your fcs capabilities) to add missing values to items so you can finally achieve the craft time for bags and the items needs to craft it.
The name of the mod is this : Customized fcs def (This is not a mod)
The creator of the mod made a route what you need to do, basically just make a backup of the fcs.def under kenshi, and replace the def in the mod with the original fcs.def.
Then start up the fcs editor and you can now use more options on the editor. on the .... button add missing files on the secelted items and you will see the extra options.

Updated with a fix for the Backpack Parts Storage; it should now properly unlock once you research Backpack Crafting Basics; let me know if you have any issues!

@ Cirilla almost 4 years later, but could you show me (us) how to get the storage box to show?

Thanks! I also cannot find the backpack parts storage at first but looking at FCS I think its not added so I tweaked it a bit and added it to the "enabled buildings" on the research

Cannot fight the storage for backpack parts, I've unlocked all the backpack research stages.

@ Jon Snow

Yes i realise that is a frustrating issue! Unfortunately backpack crafting is not fully implemented into the game like some of the other products so the only way i could find to add a time element was to require the "backpack parts" I don't really like it either but there does not seem to be any other way that I know of to change that; would welcome solutions if you or anyone else knows of one though!

The speed of crafting a backpack is instant, can you please modify so that it would take time to craft a backpack. Thanks

Updated the mod so that scavenger's basket unlocks with basic research and added a storage for backpack parts. Unfortunately I could not fins a way to make a backpack dedicated storage so for now they will just have to be stored in general storage. Let me know if there are any issues!

Can't really find any sort of storage unit for backpacks, Are they stored within one of the allready existing buildings?

@Lithographer That's probably a fair point on the scavenger's/wooden basket; for me it was always simple to run into town so i hadn't considered a run-through when everyone hates you

As far as the multiple workbenches when i first made the mod it was the only way I could find to make the larger ones actually require more backpack parts...otherwise a large would use the same amount of material as a small...backpacks are not as fully incorporated as some of the other products so it's kinda a workaround...it's possible it's changed since then so I may take another look if I get some free time

@Tinneba I can certainly add backpack storage...once again life is pretty full for me right now but the next time I have some spare moments and brainpower I can add that in; thanks for the suggestion
Lithographer Mar 21, 2019 @ 2:13am 
thanks for the great mod, although i would of hoped at least the scavenger's basket
and/or wooden backpack would be unlocked with research.. kinda hard to go get blueprints on a custom deadhive run where everyone hates you...

also imo, it would be more like the other workbenches (nice and compact) if it was one upgradable workbench instead of having one for every size..

just what I was looking for :D

can you add backpack storage ?

I have added this mod to my collection "Komrad's Kenshi Kollection" for the great addition to gameplay it provides, thank you to your contribution to this community and for keeping this great game fresh and interesting.

Added a new bench to the mod that makes backpack parts which are now required by the assembly benches...this was to remedy the fact that all backpacks were insta-crafting.
