a portable mortal & pastel in it would be super cool

Have not tried yours, but am about to.
My favorite versions are equipped in the shield slot. I prefer those over backpacks that are skins added to chest. They should be colorable, but offer a variety of appearances as well. From a simple sling pouch to full packs of primitive / modern / tech appearances. Weight reduction should be adjustable within GUS.ini settings, I would recommend 10-15% as a default with addition engrams for increases or alternate buffs, such as another modders version that increases stamina for quivers. You could allow attachable lightsources (flashlights / lanterns / beacon lamps), or additional environmental buffs similar to what the Otter gives. You could also attach something that provides compass-like directional capabilities or possibly even GPS for higher, modern or tech versions. Lots of possibilities, but I'd suggest keeping it benefits, and not pushing the easy button. Oh, there is a version that works similar to the Mortar and Pestle request, and it is handy without being too cheaty. Luck with it!

This mod will focus on the primitive play style. i might eventually make a tek backpack "cause i can" probably wont have any INI configs for this version. probably wont make a mortar and pestle one either :)

Am a big fan of Primitive play Gus, have only unlocked the spear pack so far, very clever. I like your approach

thank you!

you should make a gun back pack, with an assault rifle or shotgun on your back, reducing ammo weight would be cool having your weapons look holstered.

Maybe i can make some sort of Ammo Pouch situation. i probably wont do any packs with guns on them per say. since this is more geared towards primitive game play. but maybe the long neck and simple pistol

How about a flotation pack that keeps you on the surface when swimming and lets you regain stamina when treading water? Might look more like a life vest than backpack now that I think of it. Maybe have it slow the wearer some when swimming too.

A glider similar to the atlas one.

this would be really cool! but i dont have the animations needed to make that "cool" i can technically slap the atlas glider on the ark dude, but it might not look "great" lol

Hm... even with the ark vanilla gliding animation I think it would look cool, can´t remember the atlas animations. Also any chance of an Ini line to change the % of weight buff for each backpack?

maybe i can mess with it a bit if i ever explore that route.


As for the the INI settings, I am not a strong coder sadly, so it will be a while till they exist for this. but maybe once its out of experimental it will have INI

Take your time :D I´m having fun with the mod as it is, if you wish images check my posted images I have some with the backpacks

Some INI configs would be nice so we can change the weights of each backpack.

I have no idea how to make INI settings at the moment. so that will stay not a thing for now

My suggestion is simple, that more skin backpacks be added to the armor and not instead of the shield
