1.1?

Good Mod.
Dr@g0n 14 Feb, 2020 @ 12:17pm 
again use the one with nana suit it does seem to work much better than this mod
Dr@g0n 14 Feb, 2020 @ 12:17pm 
it works just fine for me, again make sure you have a support mod for this that allows carrying capacity and world capacity to BE CHANGED properly. It does have some issues with caravans sometimes some ALIEN pawns lose the extra capacity until they reach a new location, easy fix was using the camp mod and entire a tile and than return back to the world and my capacity went back to the proper amount for evertything.

@The Terran Does it work *fully*? Or only partly?
Kay 2 Dec, 2019 @ 10:05pm 
Yo mod is borked, I know you might not want to fix it, no problem, but please put a warning in the description that it doesnt work anymore, as removing the mod after discovering that its broken can become a problem

Dr@g0n 28 Nov, 2019 @ 12:45pm 
again i use the version with the nanosuits, not sure why im in this thread ahaha
Dr@g0n 28 Nov, 2019 @ 12:44pm 
bulk carrier, and a new one i just found, carry capacity fix(untested)
LittleSister 26 Nov, 2019 @ 6:56am 
@ShockedHearts nope.....you can craft and use the backpacks but they seem to be esthetic only they do not influate your carrying capacity whatsoever
ShockedHearts 6 Oct, 2019 @ 4:56pm 
does this mod work?
Ranix 29 Sep, 2019 @ 11:29am 
Wearing the backpack does not increase kg carrying capacity as of 9/29/19. There are no conflicting mods installed.
Mrforgetful 8 Sep, 2019 @ 10:00am 
dont work
Mistletoe The Bard 29 Aug, 2019 @ 10:45pm 
@Dr@g0n what other do I need to get?
Dr@g0n 28 Aug, 2019 @ 9:58pm 
deleted old comment to and to
MDiddy 28 Aug, 2019 @ 3:10pm 
This doesn't work for me, I can't even get it to work after an edit with rimmsQOL
Shadmark 14 Aug, 2019 @ 10:23am 
does this still work?
MatthewTh0 18 Jul, 2019 @ 7:49pm 
Is this safe to add/remove to an existing save?
Nar 18 May, 2019 @ 9:50pm 
So, this doesnt even work for caravans. I had the feeling it would because it makes sense but. Guess not. Hope this gets changed maybe?

Hey there, jaeger972. I'm a writer for Start 2 Continue, a website that covers modding and game design topics along with applying game theory to life success. I recently made a list of awesome realism/survivalism RimWorld mods for people to try out and, for what it's worth, just wanted to let you know we included your mod in our write-up. You can check it out here: https://start2continue.com/2019/04/28/30-rimworld-mods-for-every-survivalist/

Also, if you're interested, we're looking for mod developers to talk to and interview, simply in a bio kind of format, asking you how you started, what inspired you to make what you do, any goals or ambitions within the games industry -- stuff like that. You can contact me for more details either through Steam or the site directly.

But yeah, just wanted to let you know and tell you I think your work's pretty awesome! Keep it up!
The Terran 13 Mar, 2019 @ 3:26pm 
Dunno but shouldn't it increase the amount of kg they can carry? Or does it only work for haul-operations? Because the extra carry capacity doesn't show up in the caravan screen, nor in their stats(inventory), still 35kg...
bbMouse 10 Mar, 2019 @ 9:37pm 
can you post a pic of what this looks like in game?
Dr@g0n 25 Feb, 2019 @ 6:06pm 
if they have the option to equip any other item in that slot than yeah they could dropping the backpack at the trigger and than next time they had a chance they would equip another item of that slot
Gryphonheart 25 Feb, 2019 @ 9:55am 
I get this weird effect where the straps from the backpack appear on the face of those wearing it when they equip things like parkas, dusters, etc.

it helps them to carry more if you have the proper mods installed
stack capacity is still at 75 without other mods but if you got something like stackXL installed then your colonists will be able to carry more
The Lovely Smile 12 Dec, 2018 @ 3:47am 
Can it help villager carry more things?
The Lovely Smile 12 Dec, 2018 @ 3:45am 
What's the use of this MOD?
jaeger972  [author] 30 Nov, 2018 @ 9:07am 
that is very weird
Sebai 30 Nov, 2018 @ 9:02am 
No but it usually happens when they go to bed.
jaeger972  [author] 30 Nov, 2018 @ 8:57am 
do they wear some kind of belt?
Sebai 30 Nov, 2018 @ 8:37am 
My pawns keep dropping the backpacks unless I force them to wear them. It's a bit annoying.
raydarken 9 Nov, 2018 @ 12:04pm 
@Fancy_Icy, the author already talked about this in his comment on October 17, check the previous page.
MoeMoe 8 Nov, 2018 @ 7:06pm 
This doesn't work whilst travelling?
raydarken 7 Nov, 2018 @ 7:43am 
This mod is amazing with the Pick up and haul mod especially, get that stuff hauled in no time! This is a survival situation, get off your butt and move people!
Rhunin 5 Nov, 2018 @ 3:38am 
you are awesome my friend :) thanks a bunch
jaeger972  [author] 2 Nov, 2018 @ 1:15am 
i'm working on this on the other site but it's nice to know that it happens because of facial stuff
guess i'll have to download the mod then
thank you that helps quite a bit :)
theheckromancer 1 Nov, 2018 @ 11:40am 
Hello, I was wondering if there is any way to fix a weird error this mod has with the Facial Stuff mod! For whatever reason with backpacks equipped all outer shells (backpacks, parkas, etc.) render over the pawn's model itself. I love this mod so I'm hoping this might be fixable in the future hopefully :)
timsteele 27 Oct, 2018 @ 6:22am 
Thanks . This is the one Ive been waiting for .
Swiss Army Man 27 Oct, 2018 @ 3:23am 
No problems! Thanks for the great mod)))
jaeger972  [author] 27 Oct, 2018 @ 1:11am 
sorry i've been quite busy the past few weeks
here's an update for you guys
jaeger972  [author] 22 Oct, 2018 @ 9:41am 
probably wednesday
Swiss Army Man 21 Oct, 2018 @ 10:17pm 
Update pleese!)
jaeger972  [author] 17 Oct, 2018 @ 5:37am 
carrying capacity in caravans is calculated by pawn size
there are mods that alter calculation like bulk carrier so using that mod would allow you to carry more with backpacks on
Drumzelchen 12 Oct, 2018 @ 5:39pm 
@jaeger972 is it possible to edit the mod so that the caravans can carry more with backpacks equiped?
Dr@g0n 12 Oct, 2018 @ 10:50am 
yeah i use this with mods too
