Backpacks Lite

A derivative of LeDoux's fantastic Backpacks (And More!) mod. For those searching for that mod, it is found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2613901395

This mod adds backpacks, crates, and other containers. While the original mod is very well done, it has a power level that is far too high for vanilla. This mod seeks to correct the imbalance while adding some tweaks and changes.

List of differences:
- Updated English localizations
- Fewer items, specifically: no miniguns, xeno-backpacks, shield arrays, or anything more powerful than a simple quality of life improvement.
- In line with this purpose, the Oxy-Gen backpack is now battery powered. A battery slot was added to compensate.
- The Oxy-Gen backpack no longer provides oxygen to the wearer while worn. No more portable ECMO machine.
- For the sake of quality of life, backpacks now have a flat movement speed reduction instead of a graduated reduction tied to the backpack's fullness.
- Heavy backpacks can no longer contain heavy crates.
- Regular crates no longer disassemble into steel. Although it made sense, outpost managers are too cheap to use real steel. Instead, they use spray-painted carboard with a single nail in it. The nail is what makes the metal noise when it drops.
- Tactical body armor no longer can contain medium items, as holding four HMGs was deemed "a bit silly".
- Diving suits no longer accept oxygenite shards. This is not a balance decision, it is a compatibility change. Also, breathing solid oxygenite turned out to be a really bad idea.
- Small containers can spawn naturally in wrecks and outposts. They are always empty, but until I figure out how to change that, blame the wreckage gnomes.

All backpacks have been equipped with tiny lights, to let you be seen in the dark. Access the backpack menu by holding it in your hands, and swinging it like a turkey baster full of morphine. The only exception is the Oxy-Gen backpack, which has a light on at all times while it still has battery charge.
