KNOWN ISSUES________________________________________________________

BACKPACKS -- Attempting to pick up any sort of backpack will cause the character to unequip and drop her parka. I don't know how to fix this but believe it has something to do with them both being containers. It doesn't affect playability, it's just sort of annoying to take the sanity hit on unequip and pick up the parka off the ground. I have added a configuration toggle to turn off sanity loss on unequip if you can't remember to not pick up backpacks.

SEAM RIPPER -- Doesn't work on thatchpack and sea sack. I'm okay with this since they're flammable and thus easy to get rid of.

ADVENTURE MODE -- During the final world in Adventure Mode, you will be locked out of the resources contained in the backpack at spawn since backpacks can only be opened when equipped. You can get around this by simply toggling off the chest lock in the config options if you feel you really need what the backpack contains.

TO DO LIST
-- Substantial playtest.
-- Editing pass over speech file to unify tone and narrative, check for describe discrepancies.
-- Compile a list of crafting materials whose main use is for chest slot items. Create alternate uses for these, likely specialised axes and hats to fill weapon and amulet/armor progression gaps.
-- Redo character select portrait.
-- Second pass on maxechete texture, need to adjust handle width.
-- Configuration for starting inventory.
-- True abyssal character variant.
-- Lackey or talking item.
-- Remove sanity loss from using Telelocator Staff.


POSTSCRIPT________________________________________________________

How much sanity is gained on kill is dependent more on the monster than the modifier, so even when tweaked high, the difference won't be particularly evident for weak monsters

If the character is too difficult/not difficult enough, remember there are config options. You can render meat and meat dishes practically worthless with the highest setting. Want to be a glass cannon berserker on the edge? Tune down parka comfort and defense, ramp up terrain penalty, axe skill and sanity gain on kill. Live as an ocean nomad? Turn off terrain penalty and tune down meat penalty. Don't suffer unless you want to.

This mod is compatible with extra slots for backpacks and amulets. I've not tested extensively since it defeats the spirit of the character but found only a minor issue with inventory overflow. Items will not automatically insert themselves into the backpack on pick up, the backpack must manually be opened and items inserted by hand. I feel this is more a realistic feature than a bug if you do intend to go this route.

This mod is also compatible with display food values. When you hover over meat items, they will show the correct character-specific food value.

The parka already sounds really powerful, why are you making hats that nullify the single downside of being unable to unequip the parka?

I don't like crafting materials that have no use, especially if it's something like a boss drop where it becomes difficult to rationalise the effort.

If you feel the parka is overpowered, simply tweak it to be less so in the configuration options. I'm going to add options to adjust its resistance against the elements as well but it's low on my list right now.

Looks like a great character but it does not work.

Crashes the game, does not load or gives that mod crashing log thing.

Were there any specific tutorials you followed? I want to create a custom character as well, however I only have the most of basics down. I want to be able to add mutiple custom strings/events, I don't know where to start. I want someone who knows there way around modding the game to be able to help/answer any questions I may have.
