Backpacks Expanded 2.0 (Quivers added!)

Description

Update 2.0 is LIVE!
After making my own faction/armor mod I decided to get back to Backpacks Expanded and deliver some of my promises regarding it. So the main focus of this update are quivers! I've also refied some stats and tweaked a couple of textures based on the feedback I've been given, hopefully the backpack will feel a bit more usefull for you all.



Backpacks:
-Adventurer's Backpack
-Darkened Adventurer's Backpack [NEW!]
-Leather Backpack (Previously known as "Improvised Leather Backpack")
-Thieves Tool Belt
-Refitted Oil Drum Backpack [Craftable]
-Improvised Backpack [Craftable]

Backpacks enchance the gameplay by adding more variery among the containers. Some of them are good for sneaking, some weight a ton but have a lot of storage space (old fashioned strength training anyone?).

Backpacks can be bought at most 'travel and gear' shops scattered around the world.


Quivers:
-Big Bolt Quiver [NEW!]
-Small Bolt Quiver [NEW!] (Needs different texture from the Big Bolt Quiver)
-Improvised Metal Quiver [NEW!]
-Improvised Mesh Quiver [NEW!]
-Improvised Leather Quiver [NEW!]
-Improvised Wooden Quiver [NEW!]

Quivers are light and are used to store ammunition for crossbows. They can't fit anything else than bolts most of the time but they offer great stacking. Ideal for non haulers and dedicated crossbowmans.

Quivers offer limited storage space but they also have increased stacking and weight reduction. It's still equally good to store your bolts in a backpack. Quivers are supossed to be a cosmetic, roleplay item that still has a viable function in the game.

They can also be worn with some backpacks! The bonuses will stack, but only one item will be visible on the character. To access the invisible container inventory, just click the visible one with left mouse button. (At least that's how it worked for me)

Quivers can be bought at at almost every 'ranged' shops scattered around the world.


Crafting Station:
-Crafting Junk Pile [NEW!]





The station can be built anywhere, doesn't create an outpost. You need 10 iron ore to build it and it takes a longer while.

Every item with "Improvised" in it's name will be craftable by using 5 iron ore and 2 animal skins.

Unfortunately, backpack crafting wasn't properly implemented in to the game by the developer and the result is that the backpacks/quivers are crafted instantly and the recipe can't be different for each one.

Hi, sure go ahead. Just mention my work in the mod description because I'm petty like that :greenfruit: Have fun! :D

Hey Elwo, could I implement some of your work in a mod I'm working on?
Elwo  [author] 7 Jun @ 10:25pm 
now that is much more complicated. in vanilla kenshi npc often don't have enough money to buy anything from the player besides some dried meat or other food. there are some mods that make npc get higher payouts and add more items to the poll of wanted items by them. i think it would be possible to add a patch to one of such mods to include these backpacs and they should wear it. at least I know they do equip weapons bought from the player, so maybe they would equip the backpacks as well.

but all in all, i think it's too complicated and the fact that it can actually appear impossible after hours of modding makes me thing it's not worth it simply.

another question, do the npcs eventually start buying these backpacks to vendors and start wearing them or its just for the player squad to wear
Elwo  [author] 7 Jun @ 1:45am 
in FCS you would need to find the character or the squad that you want to have these backpacks and edit their inventory. If you struggle, try to find a character that has any backpack in the game and then see how exactly the backpack is added to them. from the top of my head i think that the shinobi traders have backpacks, smugglers and manhunters in border zone.

how do i make npc around the world spawn with these backpacks?
Elwo  [author] 24 May @ 4:50am 
You know that you can just not use the rest, right? I don't think I've put any NPCs wearing my backpacks.

Sorry but I really don't have the patience or the time to explain it, but I'm sure someone will at the Kenshi discord, here's a link https://discord.gg/Pej3smAp .

LowFPSman 24 May @ 1:19am
