vimrich Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I have a backpack and chester, and still usually never have enough open slots of inventory space. This also means I rarely can explore w/o a backpack - which puts me at risk when I need to swap into armor quickly. I spend half of the day rearranging and deciding what goes where so I can drop the backpack or have chester die and not miss some critical thing during a battle or retreat. Is this what it's like for all of you? Should I stop hoarding all this stuff and clear out space? Here's my bare bones "mid game" inventory. What could I drop? BodySpearBackpackFootball Helmet Myself (1-3 open slots)Grass stackTwig stackFlint stackStone stackWood stackPinecones (for treeguards mostly)Heat stoneIce wandHealing salve stack (or poultice stack)Other Hat (either a winter or summer one depending on the season, headlamp if caving)EyeboneSpare Meal (or stack of them)Lantern (if caving)Life Amulet (if caving) Backpack (1 open slot)Tentacle Spike (or a spare weapon)AxeShovelPickGold stackSeed stackArmor e.g. a Log Suit Chester (3 open slots)RazorPitchforkHammerFishing PoleBug Net (or brid trap)Meat meal (when caving) I feel like I don't really need all this stuff all the time, and placing stuff into chester is so slow. But as soon as I leave something behind, I wish I had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalloViking Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Well, if you play pc version, you can always download a mod allowing you to wear armor and bagpack at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangerdanger101 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I would just plant the pinecones. Treeguards are easy to kite. But go ahead and keep the pinecones if you want.The "ice wand" (Ice Staff i'm assuming) could be ditched, but its optional.You can plant as much of the seed stack as you can, then put the rest away, but don't exactly ditch it.Razor and pitchfork should be left behind. I don't think you really need a bug net either at all times. (Listen to Maximum on this one) (Edited a few more things in because i was in a rush and didnt read all the items you had) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximum124 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Anything not flammable can be left on the ground at your camp, some of the odd tools like the hammer and pitchfork are things you dont need unless you have a clear goal of what you want to get with them. Same with the razor, just leave it back at camp and take it with you when you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I like to keep the pinecones in my backpack for emergency fire fuel or burn some of them for ash using a torch for healing salves when I get my hands on a spider gland out in the field.

erdmanski1341 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Well if you always are carrying your resources with you, you don't need a spare weapon, because you can always craft a spear easily. Like person said above, razor/pitchfork/hammer/bug net/fishing pole should all stay at camp. These typically are only used when going on a specific mission. Pinecones aren't regularly needed, so why carry them. If you are gonna harvest a ton of wood, then yeah, but otherwise leave them in a chest. Same with seeds, why carry them? If you are spelunking, then you don't need an axe or shovel typically, so leave them behind. I guess the bottom line is that if you are "exploring", you shouldn't need stuff for resources. If you are going to collect resources, just take what you need. The map is only so big, so you can always go back to an area to collect/harvest something you didn't have room for at the time.

Deacon_Blue Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Well, if you play pc version, you can always download a mod allowing you to wear armor and bagpack at the same time. You could also just download a mod with 100 inventory slots if you want to go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalloViking Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 You could also just download a mod with 100 inventory slots if you want to go that route. Yup, but I know the border between opness and fairplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangerdanger101 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yup, but I know the border between opness and fairplayVery true.Some of the OP mods are hilarious and/or fun though, like this one: (This one is intended to be OP though) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=171633441&searchtext= I certainly wouldn't call being able to use a backpack and armor at the same time OP, though it is kinda close if you think about it.

erdmanski1341 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Very true.Some of the OP mods are hilarious and/or fun though, like this one: (This one is intended to be OP though) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=171633441&searchtext= I certainly wouldn't call being able to use a backpack and armor at the same time OP, though it is kinda close if you think about it. LOL, that mod is only a little OP, but I bet it takes up a lot of meaty stew to fill up that stomach... On the second note, I am surprised there isn't a mod yet for a craftable armored backpack which has durability of armor but also has slots to carry stuff. When armor is destroyed, you drop all the contents on the ground... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentdarkness1 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 You could also just download a mod with 100 inventory slots if you want to go that route.I don't think there's a mod that actually adds 100 slots. #exaggerationdetected But yeah, this is a problem for me :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emerphish Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I don't think there's a mod that actually adds 100 slots. #exaggerationdetected But yeah, this is a problem for me :3I think there is either an 80 or 100 slot version of RPGHUD. I use the 30 slot+backpack slot. I think being able to carry things is more convenient than OP, after all what am I going to do with mats/tools that is so op...

NeoDeusMachina Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I usually go with this set up: Equipped:Walking caneSeasonal hatSeasonal clothing Inventory:Flint (1st slot if fighting frogs, you don't want to lose anything that could prevent you from making an emergency torch/fire)TwigsGrassLogsThermal stone (summer/winter) or Empty Body ArmorHead armorWeaponEmptyEmpty EmptyEmptyFood (for long expeditions) or emptyHealing itemMiner's hat or moggles (always, for night exploration/fights) Notes:That leaves me with between 4 and 6 free intentory slots for anything that I find during my expeditions or situational items (light bulb for miner's hat or sewing kit for moggles, only when going in the caves). Anything else than what I mentionned is most of the time unecessary, especially on default size world. If I am going in the caves/ruins, I usually bring either an insulated pack for food or a regular back pack in which I put all the important minerals I find to prevent rock lobsters from eating them if I were to die. If I need to collect a specific ressource in large quantity, I'll bring a back pack and/or Chester for additional space. Notice I rarely bring tools with me. I only do if I go out to gather a specific ressource. Otherwise, I will just craft one when needed and either use it up or leave it somewhere if I don't need it anymore or if my inventory is full.

GuGonce Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Wow, that's a lot of stuff. As NeoDeusMachina said, leave all tools on the base (except combat ones though). I would also leave the stack of flint or gold (I'm never with both on inventory, that's up to you) My setup is always like this: Equipped: Walking caneSanity/Temperature ClothSanity/Temperature Hat Inventory:WeaponArmorHead ArmorHealing itemFood EmptyEmpty LanternMiner Hat Gold or FlintLogsTwigsGrassThermal StoneEyebone This is the max of stuff i carry around. If my sanity is fine,i may leave the cloth behind and use the armor instead; If not a dangerous season, then i leave the Thermal Stone; If not a long trip away from base, then i leave food behind too; and so on. Never carry what you won't use and consider making little specific explorations (Fishing day, Bee-catching day, etc...). Also, craft a piggyback and turn chester into Shadow chester. This will give you a lot of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22winston Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Try not to bring to much seasonal stuff with you unless you are close to changing seasons the seasons are a pretty decent length so dont worry about ice staffs or seasonal stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalloViking Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 For my stuff, if you consider that I don't have a special bag/amulet slots, it's something like: Equiped:Walking caneSeason clothSeason hatInventory:Ranged weaponArmorHelmetEyeboneChester:Generally food and tools.And that's all. Because I'm a warrior I don't need to have another weapon than my walking cane. Ranged weapon in the bag is here for koalefants.With this stuff, I have no problem carrying materials as long as I am not too greedy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtwoface Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Wouldn't your seeds go bad if you carried them with you? You should get Snow Chester (put a blue gem in each of his inventory slots on a full moon) that acts as a portable icebox to store your food and seeds if you want to carry them with you.
