Frequently Asked Questions
What Do the Options Change?

I’ve created an Options Guide, where I go over all the settings.

I’m Getting an Error. How Can I Report It?

How Do I Set This Mod Up on a Server?

I’ve created a Picture Guide[imgur.com], which explains how to set it up on a server or host.

Improved Backpacks (Weight Reduction, Capacity, Weight)

Do I Have to Start a New Game?

No, you don’t! Just enable "Respawnable Containers" in the Sandbox Options, then right-click any backpack, bag, chest rig, fanny pack, or satchel, and select "Respawn."
P.S. Trunk capacity works similarly, except you need to uninstall the trunk first.

The Mod Isn’t Working. What Should I Do?

For server/host issues, click here[theindiestone.com].

Navigate to the workshop page, close the game, and unsubscribe from the mod. Wait 1-2 minutes, then resubscribe and re-enable the mod in the game.

Still not working?

Unsubscribe and manually delete the mod from steam. For most this will be here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\2719850086
Then Resubscribe.

How Do I Get Higher-Tiered Containers?

MAKE SURE "DOUBLE-SIZED TEXTURES" IS ENABLED

The "Tiered Storage Containers" option in Sandbox Options controls the capacity of craftable containers. Options range from "Up to 100" to "Up to 10,000."
Reload your save or restart your server for changes to take effect. Recipes are found in the crafting menu under the "Containers" category.
To upgrade containers, right-click the item and check the requirements listed by the grayed-out option "Can’t Upgrade Tier."
To rotate containers, right-click the item, hover over "Rotate," and choose the desired direction.

Invisible containers can be removed by disassembling them or enabling -debug and selecting "Destroy" after right-clicking them.

Can This Mod be Added to Modpacks?

To Quote co`

I'm Not Really Thrilled about the Idea of Having My Mod Shipped into Modpacks.

The Main Reasons are as Follow:

I do my development for free, so the only thing I have to show for it is the number of subscribers I have. Adding the mod to a modpack would essentially strip me off some of those subscribers.

I would have no control over whether the mod would be kept updated correctly. Meaning the modpack could be shipping an old (potentially buggy) version of the mod. Some people could complain or request support for an outdated version of the mod. That would only be extra work I'm not willing to provide.

Creating mods for PZ is already horribly difficult and time consuming, so I really want to avoid all the extra work that could potentially result from this.

I do Endorse adding my mod to a Workshop Collection.

Thank You for Your Understanding.

For me, the mod on the host server works partially, the bags are spawned unchanged by the settings, and only the school backpack changes through the token. I started a clean server only with this mod.

Have you read The "The Mod Isn't Working What do I do?" In this FAQ? If you haven't then I'd highly recommend you do so first.

Should I be worried about load order? As in, should this be before or after other mods affected by it. For now I've assumed loading it last is the better choice but gotta ask just to be sure.
