I have not personally tested if it works with Neurotrauma. The kit can store any items that have either 'chem' or 'medical' tag. So if the author of NT has provided his custom items with these tags, it should work.

Work with NT?

Hey, thanks for integrating my suggestion, I appreciate it when modders take into account feedback. I hope you make more good stuff, I like what you’ve got so far!

Thanks for the feedback pyr0kid!

I do not think that this is a problem I should address by further restricting how the item can be stored. While I do get your point on being able to fit all the game's medical items in a briefcase; it is still massively less efficient method of storage when compared to other methods, such as what GranolaBean suggested.

For comparison a storage container filled with first aid kits has the max item capacity of 96; same as the storage container itself (Item stackability taken into account for). In the end first aid kit offers a possibility for more variable item slots, but at the cost of stackability.

If a player wants to be a walking medical supply cabinet by carrying most of the game's medical items with him at all times. I think they should be allowed to. However it's extremely inconvenient when considering the utilization rate between some items (e.g bandages vs antirad).

pyr0kid well do consider you can place 3 medical items in a regular medick uniform, which you can store inside tool-belts etc for a total of 36 inventory slots. and arguably there is only 4 useful items to carry. bandages, morphine, blood, claxenhyde.

for the record i think 8 items was a good balance choice.



that said i found a problem, aid kits fit inside small places like toolbelts/briefcases, which is a ridiculous amount of storage.

it turns out you can fit 2 of literally everything on the barotrauma wiki's page of medical items, inside a single briefcase full of aid kits.

so uh, personally, i would recommend making aid kits not fit inside toolbelts and briefcases, like how planter boxes dont fit inside but you can still carry them in your toolbar, so its not exploitable for massive storage.

This is a really cool, and super helpful, mod. Excellent choice on the tweak, too. Genuinely makes it feel like carrying a proper kit.

Thank you for the valuable feedback. I've decided to make changes accordingly.
Makes sense for a first aid kit to contain a variety of different items in small volume compared to just two things en masse.

As for anyone not happy with the fact that the kit now only holds 8 items in total instead of the previous 16. I'm gonna make a separate mod for a variant with more capacity.

ill third that king, as i assume people know you can simply hold a medick uniform in your inventory and it offers more space. however you could probably just place this inside the uniform for a total of 6 spaces, and in that case you don´t need the extra slots

Also means that it has the leg up over using medic clothes as your medkit because then you could carry bandages, blood, morphine and a ABX in one little package.

You know, that's actually a really good idea, King. I second that.

A clever yet elegantly simple addition to the game. Only thing I would suggest is to give it 4 slots, capable of holding 2 items each. That way, you could carry the same total number of items (8) while being able to carry a larger variety of items. This would make it similar to irl first aid kits, which normally have a wider variety of medical items.
