Vlad's Enhanced Backpacks

Description
The mod adds 2 new backpacks to the game
These backpacks have 3 main features:
  • Small and Large item slots so you can hold any item.
  • Movement gets encumbered the more your backpack is filled. Weight is scaled by the size of the item.
  • A dim, low consumption, battery powered lamp that can be turned on and off. Mainly used to let you see near your character.

The large item slots are notably used to store crates, ammoboxes, railgun shells, diving suits, and other items with the "mediumitem" tag. There is one exception to the large item slots, and these are items with the "largemobilecontainer" tag such as the backpacks in this mod. The small item slots are the usual item slots similar to the toolbelt.

Backpack Descriptions
Utility Backpack:
This is the general use backpack of the mod which has 9 small item slots and 3 large item slots. When fully packed with items, the backpack encumbers you with a 36% reduction in movement speed. It can only be stored in a crate shelf.

Cargo Backpack:
This is the backpack you use when you want to haul numerous large items, perfect for scavenging wrecks when used with crates. It has 6 small item slots and 6 large item slots. When fully packed with items, the backpack encumbers you with a 48% reduction in movement speed. It can only be stored in a crate shelf.

Small item slots have a 2% movespeed penalty while large item slots have a 6% movespeed penalty when filled. Note that encumbrance only affects movespeed and not scooter speed. The encumbrance penalty also applies when carrying backpacks by hand, so by carrying two backpacks you severely lower your movement speed. But once you get to a 50% reduction in movement speed, all penalties thereafter are halved as to not penalize you too much.

The backpack lamp is intentionally dim as to retain the ambiance of diving in the deep. It has 4 times the battery life of a regular flashlight and can be turned on and off by moving the battery between the two battery slots. Or you could shove both slots with batteries so you have a spare. Whatever floats your boat.

Special Mod Interactions
  • Neurotrauma Stasis Bag and Body Bag have been moved from the large item slot to the small item slot.
  • Hungry Europans Keg has been added to the large item slot.

Mod Conflicts
There should be no mod conflicts since there were no overrides done. Load order does not matter as well.

@Jackass Dwelf That would be quite subjective since this mod was made as a Quality Of Life and not a progression type of mod.

This mod would be perfect if backbacks can only be craftable by assistance with special talent

Works well, thanks a lot. Also makes cargo retrieval mission much less of a pain in singleplayer

Awesome, thanks!

@Aetheriant Ive confirmed that the Mod did break somehow.

Good news for you, Its fixed now, so try it again. Having a full Utility backpack should now just make you "Brisk Walk" when sprinting, as intended.

@Vladmirangel Just tested it in a lobby with just your mod loaded and nothing else. Seems each small item in the stack inflicts the 2% debuff, not just the stack as a whole. This leads to literally unplayable speed debuffs if you fill your bag with stackable items.

You are rendered completely immobile if you put 8-10 items in every small slot of the utility backpack, but free as a bird if you put all those same items in a suitcase and into a large slot.

Love the mod, hope this gets fixed! This is definitely the best backpack implementation I've seen aside from this issue. (3+ large slots might be a little OP though haha)

@Aetheriant If we're going by the Mod's intended effect. 3 stacks in the small slot should slow you down the same amount as 1 item in the large slot.

The only thing I can say here is that it was working as intended when I made the mod and checked the values that time.

But maybe some update did something weird I'm not aware of, so no idea.

I think stacks are calculated way too harshly, 3 stacks of handcannon ammo in the utility backpack slows me by what feels like over half. But when placed in a suitcase and then into a large slot, it's like I'm carrying nothing at all.

@Elpison I won't be making that since the balancing of this mod was based around the toolbelt. I would like to keep the toolbelt in the game as an actual bag choice without any penalties.
