Could the quiver get more storage slots? 9 arrows makes it pretty much useless compared to a wooden backpack which takes 144 and barely affects archers

These backpacks are incredibly well designed and they look phenomenal in game. Nice work!

Second with the Stack multiplier stats.

Hi,
Thanks for the great mod, who work like a charm

I wonder if you could tell me the Stack multiplier stats for each backpack? it's an important info in my opinion who is missing from the descriptive screenshot with their stats.

It would be cool to be able to know this info, for the modded backpack as the vanilla one, without any need of looking to the wiki page :/
I didn't found any mods who offer a QoL for this and I supose that adding this stat in the name of each backpack isn't a possible solution, maybe it could lead to save issues for peoples who already have the mod and curent save.

I really need to edit the description saying that everyone can :D
Yes, you may use it in your own mod :)

oi elwo may I use this mod in a mod of my own assuming I link credit?

Hi, sure go ahead. Just mention my work in the mod description because I'm petty like that Have fun! :D

Hey Elwo, could I implement some of your work in a mod I'm working on?

now that is much more complicated. in vanilla kenshi npc often don't have enough money to buy anything from the player besides some dried meat or other food. there are some mods that make npc get higher payouts and add more items to the poll of wanted items by them. i think it would be possible to add a patch to one of such mods to include these backpacs and they should wear it. at least I know they do equip weapons bought from the player, so maybe they would equip the backpacks as well.

but all in all, i think it's too complicated and the fact that it can actually appear impossible after hours of modding makes me thing it's not worth it simply.

another question, do the npcs eventually start buying these backpacks to vendors and start wearing them or its just for the player squad to wear

in FCS you would need to find the character or the squad that you want to have these backpacks and edit their inventory. If you struggle, try to find a character that has any backpack in the game and then see how exactly the backpack is added to them. from the top of my head i think that the shinobi traders have backpacks, smugglers and manhunters in border zone.

how do i make npc around the world spawn with these backpacks?

You know that you can just not use the rest, right? I don't think I've put any NPCs wearing my backpacks.

Sorry but I really don't have the patience or the time to explain it, but I'm sure someone will at the Kenshi discord, here's a link https://discord.gg/Pej3smAp .

How can I make that only Thieves Tool Belt is avalable in game?

I like it and hate it in the same time...

Ah, ok! Nice choice tho. Thanks!

Hah, sorry it's completely made up. But I guess I could take some inspiration from The Last of Us, the game not the piece of ♥♥♥♥ show. Joel had a backpack that the design I like and one could say, I made the best looking backpack in my opinion as the best you can get :D

Just for curiosity: did you designed the adventurer backpack (both normal and darkened) by yourself, or took inspiration from a specific in real life backpack? I'm looking for something similiar to those

love this one. TY

I've tried that, only items in the bag slot act as backpack. Even if it would work, you would still have conflict with the backpack, the game just wouldn't know which one to prioritize.

The quivers I made are more of a roleplay item than an actual gameplay feature. They aren't ment to be used together with backpacks. I made this mod for myself at first and I hated that every character needs a backpack because otherwise they aren't usefull. I did fail to communicate it in a clear way in the description.

Ah. Hum... What about putting quivers on the belt slot? Would it still work as bags or they wouldn't work?

Unfortunately Kenshi applies stack modifier to all the items, there's no way to separate this, so the backpack and the quiver would only be visual.

that does give me access to it. but i will have to test with some bandits to see if the bolts get acessed. I wonder if it is possible to make a backpack that already has a quiver attached and only the bolts can stack to 5+

I think the game prioritizes the backpack that was put in it's slot as last one. Simply left clicking to 'pick it up and drop again' should do the job, although I'm not sure as I tested that years ago now.

It seems that wearing backpack and quiver at the same time dont really work as bolts in the quiver dont seem to be recognized

Sorry I no longer maintain this mod. If you're up to it you can easily do it yourself, I won't stop you

can you make a no penalty version for this so i can use it with godsend backpacks

Sure go ahead and thanks!

Hi there, I love your mod; do I have permission to integrate it into my own modpack and mod? The only thing I'm changing is the construction and recipe costs: I replaced the raw iron with a new scrap iron item that you can either mine from those TechRustyJunk and TechWreck FOLIAGE_MESHes, or find in some vendor lists.

@maks052 No worries, thanks for the info.
@MikaBoy All is good, cheers

Hi!

First off, thank you so much for the awesome work on this mod! I really enjoyed it and decided to translate it into Spanish for personal use. Afterward, I thought it might be a good idea to share the translation so others can enjoy it too. Of course, all credits go to you for the original mod.

Please note that anyone who wants to use this translation will need to download the original mod as well. You can find the translation here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3400756334

I hope this doesn’t cause any issues, and again, thanks for your amazing work!

it would be great if there was a version of this mod where the backpacks cannot be crafted and can instead be bought/found

Hello. Your mod is great! I used it in my maksimum kenshi mod set, I hope you won't mind. I will definitely indicate your mod in the list of used mods. Thank you in advance.

quiver may use belt slot. not backpack slot.

This mod looks cool! The backpacks have nice models and also feel like they'd fit well into vanilla kenshi!

Hm, I think it was set in the backpack window and not research window. Honestly, I haven't touched FCS for 3 or more years, can't really help you but I hope I nudged you in the right direction!

I'm trying to edit the research to allow all of the backpacks to be crafted but can't find the research in the mod editor. What am I missing? Also, if someone can do just that and post the mod to the workshop it'd be just swell, I say.

Crafting Junk, there seems to be a bug that can't be selected and can't be removed correctly

@Elwo - This is a great mod and your assets are fantastic. Would you permit me to use your meshes/textures (specifically the leather and explorer bags) in a backpack rebalance mod I've been working on? I'm happy to give credit to you and point mod back to yours. Thanks!

Can't shoot with quiver equipped and filled with bolts. In short, models of all quivers look beautiful but they don't work half of the time or are false in their description. I would avoid this until someone hopefully makes a fix.

Small Bolt Quiver can carry only 1 stack of heavies.

Improvised Leather Quiver says it can carry regular bolts but that's not true. It has only space for toothpicks.

Hm, it should work right away without importing, though be aware that you need to wait at least 48 hours so the store refreshes and the items are available for purchase. Unless you have a mod that refreshes the stores more often that is. Crafting should be available right away, but bear in mind that crafting for backpacks wasn't really finished by the game dev and it works kind of silly (no crafting time, they are made instantly)

Hello! Should I import my save when I add this mod or does it just work? I'm a bit new to Kenshi, so I don't know exactly what mods I need to import my save for

I don't remember for sure but it has a different cattegory than 'crafting'. Try searching in other building categories. It's been so long I've forgot where did I put it :D

Why I cant find the craft station

Ooh downloading for quivers

Thanks for this. :)

Now something for the beasts of burden. I tamed a bonedog with a mod really early in my play-through, and it needs a back pack. lol

Huzzah!

@Elwo

Yea, i figured. It's still the best backpack mod in my opinion. I'm glad you made it
