the blueprint has a low chanceto be in the shop. so maybe you got just unlucky. you can change that easily with the forgotten construction set and set it to whatever you like. here is the submod i made to set the spawn of the blueprint to 100%.
out it after the backpack mod. also you may need to import your save for it to work( i didnt test that with an already running game.

I have a VI level research bench. Have not seen a research option for the back pack bench and I have not seen blueprints for purchase in the world (on this playthrough). I have seen them in the past and I have used this mod successfully in the past, but I cannot figure out why it's not working now.

I had this mod already installed at the start of the game. I've moved it to the bottom of the mod queue.

I'm going to need about 200 backpacks to do what I am trying to do on this playthrough, but there's no way to steal them all. It's just too time consuming.

Until there is a fix or I can figure something out I'll have to abandon this playthrough.

Thanks for the mod. I've enjoyed it in the past.

Hello, some weird thing, the smalls thieve´s backpack and wooden backpack desapeared from my game (completely, I use this backpack crafting mod, their crafteable options gone) when I installed the Genesis mod

What do you mean tools crafting workbench? How do I unlock the backpack crafting now?
BobMaster 11 Nov, 2023 @ 4:55am 
Nm, it is crafted in the Toolscrafting Workbench.

Who sells the backpack kits ?
XlorD 27 Aug, 2023 @ 1:25pm 
doesn't work, no blueprint nor research to make this mod work..

Blueprint exists. Found one in Squin(adventure shop). No need import.
Freaky 2 Mar, 2023 @ 5:54am

Freaky 2 Mar, 2023 @ 5:17am

It doesn't look like I have the option to research it, even though I'm passed tech 3 (and I've imported my game and have been checking stores for blueprints for a while, in case those are needed). Does it add a new workbench just for backpacks?
Freaky 27 Feb, 2023 @ 6:49am 
i opened the mod in the FCS and it looks like you need to be on tech 3 to be able to research backpack crafting ad it should be in the smithing category.
Freaky 27 Feb, 2023 @ 6:38am 
i cant tell you where you will find it but i loaded up an old save and there i had the backpack crafting bench build before i got to tech level 4.
i hope that helps a little bit.
SpicyShakshuka 27 Feb, 2023 @ 4:08am 
@Freaky
I have tried importing, but still cannot find any option to research/craft Backpacks. perhaps the mod is broken due to some newer update?
Freaky 20 Feb, 2023 @ 11:09am 
@freedom
you could try to import your game. cant tell you right now if it will help since i dont have played the game in a long time. but whewn importing your save your chars and base ect will still be there. so its a try
Freedom 20 Feb, 2023 @ 10:28am 
just installed it on my playthrough... nothing shows on the research table... do I have to start a new game?
𝐌𝖆𝖑𝖚𝖘 5 Feb, 2023 @ 11:42pm 
does this mod automatically pick up modded backpacks? I've got the hive cybernetics mod and trying to find the backpack is a damn nightmare.
OnionLord777 31 Dec, 2022 @ 5:42am 
is there a storage container for backpacks added by this mod?
Tachyon 12 Oct, 2022 @ 9:56pm 
Nice mod! The backpacks it makes are: Small (coloured), Medium (coloured), Large, Shopkeepers, Small Thieves, Thieves, Traders (Large), Traders (Medium), Traders Wooden, basic Wooden and finally Scavengers Basket.

It costs only one Fabric to make them. Bearing in mind Large Backpacks sell for 2,500cat it's a way to make money when you are starting a game.
Darkaisa 27 Apr, 2022 @ 1:56pm 
Mod works as intended, but... So expensive...
SilentCalling 27 Jan, 2022 @ 6:05am 
There isnt much info about this mod... Like are there diff kind of bags you can craft? How many space and penalty it is and where it can be crafted, does it require to be researched 1st? like come on
Lawh  [author] 22 May, 2021 @ 4:43am 
When I was making this mod, I realized that they are crafted instantly, and there was nothing I could do about it back then, but I can have another look at that if I get the time. I remember trying to increase the crafting times and so on, but for some reason they were always crafted instantly.

I think I tried to balance that out a little with high costs. I think the high cost was also due to the bags being very handy, so there had to be some "penalty" for making them, since the time to craft them was so fast. One could craft a hundred bags in a minute, and sell them all for instant money.
The Purple Menace 21 May, 2021 @ 12:51pm 
Nice, my only real issue with it is that all backpacks take a really high amount of fabrics to craft and they seem to be crafted almost instantly. A small blemish on what is otherwise an incredibly useful mod.
Lawh  [author] 2 Nov, 2020 @ 4:36am 
Glad you like it!
Mr. Anonymous 2 Nov, 2020 @ 1:56am 
Wish I had found this mod a few hundred hours ago, but better late than never. Amazing!!!
Thanks for posting!
Lawh  [author] 6 Jul, 2020 @ 5:52pm 
Yeah the backpacks are a little wonky when it comes to modding, but glad to hear it works!

Sorry for taking months to do something that took me 15 minutes.
Freaky 6 Jul, 2020 @ 4:56pm 
Jups it's working. But for some reason the big trader's backback looks the same as the Large Backpack but that doesn't matter as long as it works.

Thank you for the update.
Lawh  [author] 6 Jul, 2020 @ 4:40am 
Try now, I totally forgot about this as usual.
Freaky 5 Jul, 2020 @ 10:02pm 
Since there was no update regarding the big trader's backpack i guess it's still not possible?
Hoja Lateralus 17 May, 2020 @ 1:29pm 
Thanks mate :)
Lawh  [author] 16 May, 2020 @ 5:25pm 
There was a problem with it when I made this mod, for some reason it was not craftable. I'll try and see if things have changed, tomorrow if I can.
Hoja Lateralus 16 May, 2020 @ 4:14pm 
The mod is missing big trader's backpack
Lawh  [author] 26 Aug, 2019 @ 6:57am 
Yeah it would've been cool :) But thankfully they created nice modding tools so we can patch these little things up.

Unfortunately there was no way to extend the crafting time, so it had to be instant. I can check that again as well when I get to it to see if they've made some changes to that :)
Noviath 26 Aug, 2019 @ 6:27am 
Thanks man really appreciate the mod :) It should already have been in the vanilla game imo.
By the way is there a possibility to make bag crafting take some time?
Lawh  [author] 26 Aug, 2019 @ 4:07am 
I'm not sure, but I'm guessing it's either armor crafting, or then nothing. I will have to check it out when I get the chance. Good questions, I'll add them to the description later hopefully!
Noviath 25 Aug, 2019 @ 3:03pm 
Yes i did the research, there is another mod that allows for bag crafting so my mind must have gone to that :)
Another question - what skill your bench use? Is it armour smithing like clothing bench?
Lawh  [author] 25 Aug, 2019 @ 2:50pm 
If I remember correctly, you should research bag making, and get all the recipes that way :) It's been a while since I worked on this so my memory is a little fuzzy.
Noviath 25 Aug, 2019 @ 2:29pm 
No worries, take yor time :)
By the way when i build the bench i had a lot of bag recipes is it intended?
Lawh  [author] 25 Aug, 2019 @ 2:03pm 
Hey! I haven't gotten around to it as of yet, but I will make note of it. I might get some time off tomorrow to do some modding, so I will try and take a few minutes to create the storage :) No promises, but I'll get down to it eventually!
Noviath 25 Aug, 2019 @ 2:01pm 
Hey Thoros thanks for the mod, but i wanted to ask, were you able to add the bag storage?
Yozakura Doge 15 Jul, 2019 @ 12:04am 
sure XD
Lawh  [author] 11 Jul, 2019 @ 8:54am 
Here is the earlier Chinese translation, but if it has been abandoned or something like that, go ahead and make another one :)

I think someone already did this, but I'm not sure. You have my permission in any case. Just add the donate button to the description ;)

I want to give it a Chinese translation, here to ask for your permitting. :steamhappy:
Lawh  [author] 20 Mar, 2019 @ 8:12am 
Ah, great :)
vincentl 20 Mar, 2019 @ 7:50am 
It works properly now, I think. I got my Beep to carry over 2000 kg of goods the other day. At least he had someone to carry him.
Lawh  [author] 19 Mar, 2019 @ 11:43pm 
There was an issue with it for some reason. It wasn't even wearable when you could craft it. I'll try to get back to this at some point and see if things have changed.
vincentl 14 Mar, 2019 @ 9:33am 
Crafting the large trader backpack is not enabled.
