Better Balanced Bags!

Description
I love this game but I do sometimes think the negatives for the bags are a bit much, my reasoning is soldiers are trained to wear 40kg+ bags and still do their job, and while the larger bags would impact movement and combat a lot, the really small ones shouldn't really be that much of an issue! I do wish there was a setting so; if your strength is > 25 the small bag wont effect combat and such but alas that isn't a thing right now! So instead I reworked the backs a bit

Changes
All small bags now don't effect combat,
All medium bags have been reduced from -5 to -2
The stackable wooden bags and medium traders bag have been reduced from -5 to -2
All large bags have been reduced from -10 to -8

I haven't changed their effect on your athletics and such, as I can understand that if you're carrying a ♥♥♥♥ load of weight you will move slower, I also only slightly reduced the larger backpacks as those things are huge and if you're carrying that into combat you should expect it to have a huge effect on you! So I’m hesitant to completely removes the negative effects of the bags as I do think they are there for a reason that makes sense, it’s also why I’m not changing the stacking sizes of the bags as it kinda makes pack bulls/beasts and the actual stackable bags redundant and doesn’t really make senses when you can carry a teeny tiny bag that stacks 400 copper ore, or something else ridiculous!

I’ve mostly changed this as it annoys me so much to get into combat and having to remember to pause and drop the bag to make sure you have the best possible chance in combat, and while you may still have to do that a bit, at least the negatives have been mitigated a little bit more now =)

Either way let me know what you all think and if you have any request ask away and I’ll see if I can do it =)

Its combat SPEED reduction that sucks, not combat penalities...

this mod causes compatibility issues with 10x storage mod and the hard labor uses strength mod and the faster mining mod. can you fix this problem?

Here's an idea, rather then just reduce the stat penalty, wouldn't it make more sense to add a stat that reduces the equipment penalty? It would be more inline with your "soldiers are trained" reasoning.

Thieves bag should have a 0 penalty, and the other ones a symbolic -1, to represent theat one time you wanted to swing but missed because you got tangled.

This mod doesn't work on thieves backpacks, regular ones have the values in the description. Thieves backpacks have -4 and -6 for small and medium respectively.

Can't find your mod in the launcher, is it "Item mods"? Can you get it named to the mod name please?

Can vouch. Was in military for a boxer battalion. Had to be in full combat gear with field packs everytime you step out of the bunk during our trainee and conversion days. Even just going to the toilet or to smoke. Assault Courses, Obstacle Courses, Combat Shoots, CQC, Missions, in the swamp, in the rain etc all in full gear with field packs. 10km swim in the sea also in full gear with fieldpacks, yes, we won't sink cos our stuff, rifles, combat gear, fieldpacks can float. Maybe a regular infantry unit don't do this much but they still do recieve similar training. All the stuff you see in movies is only a fraction of what we experience.

I like the idea, indeed them bags were a bit harsh on penalties.

You do know that Soldiers are trained to be in full combat gear in pretty much every situation right? Their training also includes being in extreme weather conditions, also shooting with mostly no movement? Again you clearly don't know anything about a soldiers training as footwork is a massive part of it and being able to move while under fire as well as being able to return fire all in full combat gear - they are also trained in hand to hand and close quarters combat while again also in full combat gear! Modern soldiers are expected to be able to move and run without hindrance in full gear and are trained accordingly, if you did any amount of checking into it you’d see just how physically intense their training is :P

I do kinda get where you're coming from but it's coming from a place of ignorance rather than an actual understanding of current combat training and with respect if you don't like the mod, then don't use it? Or make your own to suit your needs =)

They DONT swing SWORDS, they DONT need FOOTWORK, they SHOOT mostly without MOVEMENT =_=
