that will require a patch between that mod and this one, it wouldn't be too hard to do and you could probably make one for yourself, but i'll see what i can do anyways and let you know

I am unable to equip the backpack for any animals, It might be because of the Universal wastelands expansion mod that adds colored version of the animals.

could you specify what kind of issues you're having?

hey the garru backpacks seem to not work for me, dont know it its either a problem with the mod or another mod messing with it.
have you had any problems like this?

this mod like almost any other mod adds a separate vendor's list which means the new items will be added to the inventory without replacing anything, this means it's also compatible with anything that alters the vanilla lists (if a mod makes it so all weapons in shops spawn at a higher quality, there will still be no conflict)

Hi i was wondering does this replace the amount of stuff in the stores with your stuff or its just a added item not taking up vanilla items spaces

Hiya thanks for the reply it was available for research under the weapon smith and also craftable in the same place.

if i recall the item should be available at any level of smithing, but it does require a research, the blueptrint of which should be available to anyone after researching the first level of smithing, in the training section. i'll look into the code soon to make sure

This item doesnt appear in my smithy after installing the mod. Do I need a new smithy? Or where do I learn the item?

Nice. Thanks for considering my idea!

update: i made metal backpacks for most of the animals in the game (dogs, goats, bulls, garrus, beak things, gorillos, spiders), i'm missing skimmers, land bats, crabs and mechanical spiders, which are more exotic, hoping crimpers use the same skeleton as gorillos to make my life easier

I am surprised this hadn't be done earlier, really cool.

i'll look into that, it sounds like a great idea actually, training animals in strength is very hard, and completely impossible in vanilla for most

Would you consider a metal backpack for animals? It would be very beneficial for weight training bulls, dogs, etc. As far as I am concerned it wouldn't need to show on the animal and be usable for any animal, just for ease of use.

Regardless, thanks!
